Hey Jess, I enjoyed reading your poem, I thought something was actually going to happen! It had some sort of suspense to it, wondering what you were going to write next! Great work! Xx

Recently throughout our assessment, we have come across historical meaning and biographical context, and how they can significantly impact on an individual, in particular an author. Looking through Schwiebert, I some how came across a poem which seemed to be self explanatory, however had a significant meaning to the author it was written by, once I ( Read more... )

Wow! That was an extremely powerful and meaningful poem; it takes a lot to write emotions of what you felt at that exact moment onto paper- in particular when what you felt was so personal, strong and close to God. Great work =) xx

Within our weekly discussions, I came across one of the questions asked. It is known that every group had different questions, so I thought I would give an interpretation of the essay by Judith Ortiz Cofer. When reading the question the name of the essay intrigued me to begin with. ‘The Myth of Latin Women’. Coming from a Spanish background I was ( Read more... )

Hey Kelly, your poem was very well done. I think it really got to me because so many of us went through the exact same thing with our friends, the ups and the downs, but many manage to get through it all.

Having a close and personal relation to a text is a great experience! I also agree on what you said, about men always ( Read more... )

That dance that draws two people together

The intimacy and closeness is revealed

By the touch, by the scene and by the body language

Many realise they themselves, are at the beginning of an-

Experience

The height of those two girls, and the extreme shortness

Of those two boys, do they hold the power within that dance?

Or are they simply toys?

I loved it! It was different and very unique! Nice choice of descriptive words; it makes you understand the real meaning behind it. "Colour Me Happy - I don't need irony from my shampoo"< Very clever! =)

From my mother; the mirror from within me unfolds

Where I can see myself individually in thirty years time

Where she left me my big brown eyes and those lips;

Those lips that cause stares and curiosity.

From my father; I take his height which makes me taller

And a little more wiser

I also take his forehead, forcing me to look fierce
