Hello Pratt
Great post! You have presented the meaning of the poem We Real Cool by Gwendolyn Brooks. I believe presenting the various images that are used in the poem would have ensured that the message of the persona is properly articulated such as the effects that are associated with one dropping out of school and choosing a dangerous path in life. You have properly identified the message that the poet wants to pass across by presenting various quotations from the poem hence portraying the various negative effects that are associated with dropping out of school and choosing a dangerous life in the streets. I believe staying in school prevents one to avoid various dangers that lurk in the streets as you have outlined in the poem.
Hello Castro
Great post! You have brought out the message that is portrayed in the poem Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day? By William Shakespeare. You have presented examples of adjectives, metaphors, verbs among others through quotation that the poet uses in conveying the message of love in the poem. I believe that the love that the persona is expressing in the poem is strong for his lover as he tries to portray it as being beyond human imagination and withstands various things that are in life. The message of the poem is clearly conveyed to the audience in clear terms.
