Reader Response #6: Find a Poet

THE POEMS THAT I READ ARE AS FOLLOWS

Too Hard too Bear : Ashley Greer Adamson

The things that i liked don't like about the poem is that the girl is dealing with real life issues like any other teenager goes through when people make jokes about them not having as much as the other kids do.

This connects to my life because their are plenty of things that I go through being a high school teenager and I can imagine what she is going through.

I don't likening this poem and not liking it at the same time because it is confusing because she really has too much going on in this poem.

But it relates life because we all go through situations.

Life: Ashley Denean Adams

I absolutely don't like this poem because i think she is talking about suicide and killing her self because of what she is going through in life.

this pertains to my life just the problems only the problems not all the other craziness

Seasons: Ashley Adams

I like it bacause it relates to change but their could have been more words in th poem . it relates to life bacause it is talking about change and we all go through changes.

Doors: Ashley Adams

I like this poem because it touches on how your pain/ and or sorrow can get the best of you at times and will build up on you and you have to release it out into the world .
This relates to life because in my life because we all have days when we want to talk and don't and then the pain builds up because we don't let it out

HERE ARE THE POEMS U MAY READ AT YOUR OWN LEISURE AND LEAVE COMMENTS

Seasons
When the first snow falls,it snows fluffy, white snowballs.The sky turns a bluish white,while the stars shine bright,All through the endless night.Then comes spring,when all the pretty birds sing.The flowers blossom,and so does the possum.Next comes summer,it is not a bummer.As we play in the pool,we hope the night will be cool.Finally comes fallwhen leaves fall off trees so tall.After all,the snow will begin to fall,Again.

Doors
Have you ever cried?But without any tears.Does it seem as thoughdaily pain lasts for years?You question yourself.But first others.Your mom.Dad.Sister or brother.You ask their adviceand they brush you off.This doesn't help especially in times when you feel lost.There's only one person who's truly been there for meand that's the Lord.He's continously closing and opening up doors.And for that I'm forever grateful.

Life
My life is living hellSometimes i sit back and dwell where will i be in 20 years?If i'm not drown in all my tearsSee my parent thinks it a whinning gameBut they dont understand my constant painSome times i wish i was deadSo all these bad memories would be erase from my headNo one will ever understand me but meYour never going to see my point view Soooo if this is true Then i guess that i'm through

Nothing you can ever say can help me get itback. The night is gone, my blood is goneand all that helped make me..me is gone. Iknow you want to help me, but all you do isremind me of the pain in your eyes reflectingthe pain in mine. Just stop talking about it.I can't even hear it said..the thought makesme ears bleed and my brain melt. I was almostdead..did I see God?Anothers blood courses through my veins, isit clean blood or will the thing that savedme later take my life? My mind races with thethoughts of all this going wrong. Losing theonly thing good that came of this, or losingmy mind all together. I have no-one to talkto about the pain and sadness that has nowords to describe them. I will never be able to deal with this if someone doesn't listento me.Love myself and all will heal..?

Too Hard to Bear
A whispered wordAn icy glanceNo one thought to give her a chanceA stifled giggleThe rolling eyesNo one bothered to hear her criesShe walked down the hallClothed in ragsCarried books in paper bagsHer toes were blueEach winter mornFor she wore no shoes and her socks were tornThe bruises and burnsThe deep cut on her cheekFrom a broken beer bottle thrown last weekYet no one cared to noticeEven when she was not thereWhen her life became just too hard to bear

THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN

In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck faces a number of moral dilemmas such as. When Huck and Jim stole the things from the man who was shot dead who was shot in the back. They stole things such as Watermelons, Cantelopes, mushrooms, and crabapples, But as Huck thought about it he pictured what would the Widow, Pap, and Jim would say about Huck stealing those things. This pertains to the story because when you think back pap really does not care because he is telling Huck that you can steal just give it back here is what pap said:” pap always said it warn’t no harm to borrow things, if you was meaning to pay them back, sometime”; and the widow said: “It warn’t anything but a soft name fro stealing and decent body would do it”; and Jim said: “he reckoned the widow was partly right and pap was partly right; so the best way would be for us to pick out two or three things fro the list and say we would not borrow them anymore”.( page 49)

I am going to agree with Jim because Huck and Jim are out on an island and they have no food and barley shelter so you have to get what you need while you can. To me Huck did a half wrong and half right (50/50) he stole food and other items from ’DEAD’’ man, But also I cant place my whole argument on Huck I have to place some shame on Jim to because Jim didn’t have to do it if he didn’t want to. In “Ghetto Slang” Jim had a little Street Knowledge and knew what he was into because slavery wasn’t the hottest cup of tea, but over all Jim was there and was Huck’s protector because if u look into the chapter Jim wouldn’t let Huck go in to see the dead body until he checked it out first. The reason being is that Jim was a slave and has seen plenty of people getting killed, beat, raped and more hash things that were done to the slaves.

Huck Finn Reader Response # 3 (Ch. 17-Ch.18)

· The thing that impresses Huck about the Grangerford ’s house is that he likes the way that their house looks. He says that their house had “STYLE” and how the fire place is bricked. Another reason is that he has never seen a country house before. Hucks views of education was that it gives you success because looking at all the books he knew that they were well educated. (CH.17-Pg.75.Par3)

· The special things about the books in the house are that they were neat. They interested him because there were all different types of them such as: a family bible, hymn book, they interested him also because he maybe thought of them of being educated because they had so many books. This says that Huck values education so you know that Huck is very intelligent. Huck really likes to read.

· The things so unique about the paintings are that they are all about death but in different contents. the girl is obsessed with death and black because in her paintings she has everything with death and always has the color black (CH.17-Pg.76.Par.2&3). The reason that he explained the paintings with so much detail was because he wants you to understand it. Twains view if death is like a ‘’satire’’ he takes it serious and also funny at the same time.

Reader Response 2: Huck Finn (7 - 13)

Huck was influenced by many people but thay all have different influences on him. For instance Pap influenced him in a bad way. " It warn't no harm to borrow things, if you was meaning to pay them back , Sometime; (chapter 12, paragraph 3, page 49)

and widow douglas influenced him in a good way . she told him
"it warn't any thing but a soft name for stealing and no decent body would do it'' . ahe was influenceing him in a good way to not steal ( chapter 12, paragraph 3, page 49)

and jim was no help he was a lost cause he somewhat knew what was good he told him "He reconed the widow was partly right and pap was partyright" jim really didnt kno whos side to be on.

Tom was a bad inflence he told him " Start a band of robbers" ao jim wasent really do it right thing (chapter 1, page 1, paragraph 3)

Reader Response 1: Huck Finn (1 - 6)

"Starchy clothes--very. You think you're a gooddeal of a big-bug. don't you?" (ch. 5, pg 14,par3)








I think that the quote is relating to how parents are some what jealous of their children. It relates to my theme because many children don't have very strong relationships with their parents. But if i relate it to my life it is some what like that me and my dad stay together so it it relates to the book some what.





I think it relates to Mark Twain's life a little bit because he has to deal with things like this everyday. He doesn't have a parent to talk and buy him things, Because he was on the river at the age of 13. Basically he relates to this in his own way because he had to deal with this most of his life, Because his father is a drunk and he hates the women who takes care of him.
