Today we read the poem “I, Too”. It opened my eyes to discrimination in America and how some people have to fight to be included as an American citizen. The lines “They’ll see how beautiful I am, And be ashamed” really resonated with me.
Today we wrote poems and I tried really hard on mine. I thought about what I was going through and the series of heartbreak I had to go through lately. I tried my best to write from the heart but make sure all my lines rhymed. It may be a little deep but I feel like my peers will enjoy it tomorrow.
Yesterday we read the end of Fences. It wasn't a bad ending, but I feel bad for Rose. She basically has to take care of a child that is not hers by herself after Troy died. Rose had to endure a lot of pain throughout the story. It seems like she gave so much but received little in return.
