Short Story Introduction

"BRING ME THE GIRL!!" roared a deep unplesent voice.
"But Sire we don't know where to look" shakily said the creature .
"Get me the girl is all I ask, Try your best to bring her alive" replied the deep voice more calm.
"But Sire-" repeated the creature before he got cut off.

Men By Maya Angelou

I can relate to the message in this poem because now and days some guys only want you just to use you. You think they really want to love you and treat you the way your suppose to be treated but they don't. The first time you meet them they are sweet and kind to you, then they switch up and start being a different person. Then when you avoid, or as guys say it, "frunt," then they want to curse you out and try to degrate your dignity in front of everybody. "it is your juice
That runs down their legs. Staining their shoes," I feel that this statement in the way you read it, can be sexual, but i think that its deeper than that. I think she feels as if the girl gave her all and when the guy hurt her it effected him in a way.

"My vegetable love should grow
Vaster than empires, and more slow."
-the guy is exaggerating his love for the other lady.

-He's exaggerating her beauty. he's saying that although time may past and years get older she will still be beautiful.

I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings

The mood of this poem is trapped because she writes how the birdie is trapped. I know this because in the poem she says, "his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing."

Poetry Response: Bronx Masquerade

I think that Tyrone really does want to become someone in life he just thinks that school wont get him to become what he wants to be. Tyrone loves where he comes from but he just doesn't like what happens around him. His poetry reveals that he does care about somethings and he just want to live his life. The best word to describe how tyrone is feeling is confident. Because to him he doesn't need school he feels that he just need his friends and he just needs to live his life. The meaning of this poem is right there, LIVE YOUR LIFE because the time is tick-tocking.
I can connect with the poem because sometimes i boubt that i need school.
