Poem Response

                                             

Author note: I am writing response to explain about the poem

I think that the mood of both of the poems are frustrated because, the author realizes what they missed. The mood is also in depression because it feels like everything thing is grey. They feel there is no joy around. There is no nature around just the plain city. The mood would also be angry because someone is gone and they miss that person.

The purpose was to tell that you do not know what you have until it’s gone.

The tone is sad, angry, and depressed. In the poems the music and/or lyrics and is a little different, but does have the same words from the poem. The poem shows us the same thing as the purpose. The poem makes me feels a little bad for someone because that person is missing someone.

Like A Race Car

                                     

I am a car in a race track

I struggle to pass the other cars.

I’m like Nascar’s biggest loser.

And there is one  big shot who I struggle to get past.

She is almost to the finish line but not me.

But, when I catch up I fill the other racers

with sorrow. I put my foot on the gas.

And I fly through a giant racing stadium like I’m getting chased

with a bug swatter.

I’m so agile, no one can see me when

wind wafts through my face,

like wind blowing a leaf away.

This parody was wrote in reference to Bridge to Terabithia. It is about how a boy is cocky but has a hard time beating a girl in a race. The tone starts out upset then gets cocky. The mood is jealous and sarcastic. The speaker is Jess and the audience is Jess’s little sister.

Response for “Mother to Son”

Author's Note: I am writing this response to explain what my thoughts are on the poem.

                           

In the poem, I was wondering why Langston Hughes wrote the poem with a women talking. If Langston Hughes was a guy I think he should used a man. Someone else also thought about this too. I wonder if the author was using this to get a point or what. The tone of the poem sounded to me like it was in a honest tone. The language like crystal stair was one of them This was used as a metaphor to enhance the description of the point the mother was trying to get to the son. What the poem was talking about  was how life is hard.

Character Description

                                   

 

                                   

Have you ever seen the movie “Bridge to Terabithia”?  Have you ever read the book?

Have ever wondered what the main character Jess ever looked liked? If you haven’t then here is what he is like.

Jess is country. He likes to run. He runs around in open space and seems to lollygag around when bored. He seems to be really lazy. He sits around and hates to do things he doesn’t want. Jess has problems with other students. He wants to be the fastest runner ever in his whole grade. This pretty much sums him up.
