Found Poem

From my students' notes for American Literature 2, 1865-the Present.



The world is something we constantly respond to.
A very dramatic reveal!

His life seemed to be diminished [when he died].
The author wants it to seem malevolent,
creates a stereotypical image
for middle-aged women possibly to be destroyed later on
in the story.

She possibly suffered from psychosis.
She could be suffering from schizophrenia.
She smells things that are not real.
Possibly referring to a cat. Or another beast of its kind.
This is foreshadowing for the actual death of the dog.
The use of horses as a symbol 
is another important aspect of this section. Life continues

The poem is not even a full sentence. Easy to read.
This poem is written in a way that is easy
to relate to.
Each part is organized into its own
section: Hardly any other men were taken in
their pajamas.

He seemed to portray waking up 
           in a positive light which is unlike
many other works that portray waking
as not so great.
It is highly misinterpreted.

A colloquy:
 “He has hypersexualized gays which might not have given them a better public perception.”
“His candor on his personal relationships with drugs and gay sex were not meant to give the public a better perception.”
“He is pointing out how we raise our children to be closed-minded, continuing the cycle of intolerance and ignorance.”
“He has an interest in discussing taboo topics.”
It is quite interesting to see how people conceal
their disgust or outright show it. It reveals
a lot about the differences in personality.

After slaves were let free, they were promised
a goat and 4 acres of land.
I agree that this was perhaps the best part.

it is not common for people to have close relationships
with their baker.
This immediately arouses suspicion
to the readers, because if someone did
kill this huge bear
they would certainly brag about it. 
The overbearing amount of information
doesn’t give us enough to detail what actually happened [with the bear].

Thank you for pointing that out!
However I do believe that respecting
the armed forces is necessary.

Although many people strive
to get an education, I would personally say this
was more of a traumatic experience
for them.

And also for me. 
World without end.
Amen.
