Which of the poems had the most meaning for you personally?
What thoughts and/or feelings did the texts evoke in you? Why?
The poem Where I'm From uses a very clever style of writing, using references and implications to accurately describe what the author is feeling. As a Catholic, I personally liked the line implying themes from the Bible; capitalizing the 'H' in "He," using a lamb as a religious symbol. I find that religion reflects greatly on the things that I do and how I act and reading this poem made me think about what it meant to the author as well.
I like how you bring in specific examples from the poem. WHy do you think he is using these symbols in his writng. Try and develop your writing and add that in.
