Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening

This poem create a very sad, depressing emotion. Frost uses a AABB rhyme scheme. He repeated the ending to show how tired he is and how much work he did although he didn't describe it. I can infer that he is weary. I know this because of the words he uses, about him sleeping. I can connect to this poem because like when im in school the day feels like i have to do a long day of work and i feel like i am tired.

Poetry Response: Changes

I can infer that He doesn't think that he belongs since hes black he lives in the ghetto hes hungry so he going to steal money for food since the cops see stealing a purse as a crime wen they.
One word to describe how Tupac is feeling is emotional. He feels as though now that he is growing up him and his friend are growing apart, like they have different perspectives on staying alive. The meaning of the poem is that it's hard to live as a black person because you have all these problems coming your way even if you did something to them years ago. And also he is trying to say that we do need change but we aren't ready for a black president to change us.
I can relate to this poem because growing up i didn't always have the best things and i didnt get most of my stuf legally(not that i commited any crimes)

Do not go gentle into that good night

The message of this poem is to all the old people who are dying. He's trying to tell them to keep strong and don't go into the "night". The mood of this poem is sorrowful but hopeful at the same time. The poet uses repetition to either ephisize that the elderly should keep strong or/and to try to get his point across, to put it in their minds.

Never Going To Stay Down

"I welcome our 44th president of the United States of America, Barack Obama"

Born in the rays of the Hawaiian sun
was a boy that had a potential to become
what ever he wanted to be

growing up wasn't very easy
as he faced poverty
it demeaned him

"To the Hawaii people he was black
to the black people he was less
African-American"

but he kept persevering
and did what no one ever thought
would ever become to this world this universe!!

he ran for the title as president of the united sates
with his wife and children and a campaign so great
victory was this African Americans only fate

January 20 inaugurated and all
Barack Obama took on the dream
of Martin Luther king Jr.

"I welcome our 44th president of the United States, Barack Obama"

Inaugural Poem of the day: “Praise Song for the Day,” written and recited by Elizabeth Alexander

I think that the title "Praise Song for the Day" means that on the day of the inauguration they had to praise all the people of history who wanted to see change and to see an African-American become the president of the United States of America.

The poem made me feel proud to be living in the United States. Made me feel a little amotional.

I loved when Elizabeth said " Someone is stitching up a hem, darning a hole in a uniform, patching a tire, repairing the things in need of repair," that stanza made me realize that she was talking about the past.

I noticed that the poet used 3 line stanzas, alliteration, symbolism.

This poem relates to the inauguration and Obama because they talk about they past and how Barack Obama became the prsident of the United States.

I can relate this to my life a little bit.
