2. Link back to this assignment.
3. Answer the following questions in full sentences:
You will be doing a fair amount of writing (IN FULL SENTENCES), so remember to leave some spaces between your answers so it is easy for your reader to read (perhaps hit enter between each response), read over and edit your work, spell check and make sure you've followed all directions.
a) What did you learn from Greg and Beth Ann? (at least 2 things)
I learned that some poems ryhm and some dont and so that helped me alot knowing that that wasnt supposed to bother me.
I also learned that while you are up on stage, there is no turning back and that you have to face the crowd no matter what and so if you were too mess up you could easilly rewind and start all over again from where you made the mistake or just continue because the audiance will never know that you messed up.
b.) When writing your own poem, what did you use as inspiration? (at least 3 things)
As inspiration i went on youtube and searched ALOT of poetry and so i kind of stole their way of writing but never their idea.
Another place was from songs and music and from many rappers back then and i saw that their way of spreading the messege was by going lyric by lyric and making them ryhm so i took the rihming insperation from there.
Another insperation were our really creative teachers that helped take me out of my confort zone because they were SO appriciatefull and never told me my dislikes but only reminded me of my positive things i did.
c.) What are you most proud of from your poem or your presentation of it? (at least one thing)
I think they were mostly blown away by the fact that i could write at that level and so they didnt believe that at first. But it all comes from my teachers.
d.) How did you feel before you performed?
I felt like i didnt wanna go up and that people would laugh because thats what people tend to do before im about to do somthing but i think i got the respected crowd i deserved.
e.) How did you feel AFTER you performed?
I felt like i had done so much wrong on my part because of the volume and enthusiasm. Although even if i did not appriciate my work my teachers did so i think i am happy with my work aswell.
f.) What would you change about your own poem or performance for next time? (at least 1 thing)
Well i would say nothing much really i think it was all thought out and perfected and kept a steady past its just i think the audiance got the best of me therefor i wasn't able to preform at such high level. So nevxt time i think i should work on performance.
g.) What did you learn/like about someone else's poem?
Well in my opinion they were all AMAZING and i thought that everyone that i didn't really know that would have it in them just left the audiance with wide open mouthes.
4. Post your poem on your blog.
Unity
Guns, bombs, and nuclear weapons
Have infected this world like a deadly infection
Spread by the leaders and now a desease
All created by hate, will it ever cease?
Somthing must be changed, the children are watching
Somthing must be changed, the children are watching
Instead of unite, they chose to fight
Not realizing what the have brought to their children
Why cant we all live in peace?
Why have we made fighting our most valuable option?
Somthing must be changed, the children are watching
Somthing must be changed, the children are watching
They stood there and watched with their young eyes
Held acountable for the wrong of their people
With weapons is how they replaced education
And stood their to protect their cherished nation
Somthing must be changed, the children are watching
Somthing must be changed, the children are watching
Future is not a catagory in a land of greed
which makes it a struggle to feed their needs
clenching the last of their reletives to their hearts
and shed no tears for this is their way of life
Somthing must be changed, the children are watching
Somthing must be changed, the children are watching
Lost voices are left with imagration
Forced to withdraw from their previos location
Along with their children who still carry pain
Of the bloodshed and tears unimaginable to our eyes
And made this an understanding of their way of life
Brought with them an example to show unspoken
Results are abuse, and murder leaving lives broken
Jail is the result of their pasts appaling reflection
Somthing must be changed, the children are watching
One species, one world, we are all human, lets act like some.
