I had never read it before, although for another class we got to read "Transformations," a collection of fairy tales that Sexton had transformed into poems with often an often dark tone. I like the way you write to readers as almost a motivational speaker. It seems as if you are in some way trying to urge people to take risks and be courageous through the use of rhetorical questions and your own opinions. <br /><br />I also really like the design of the blog. It is simple and lets vistors concentrate on your content rather than bells and whistles. <br /><br />Did you write the post based on just your own interpretations of the poem? Often when I read poetry I have to look up with a literary scholar or expert has said about it. Maybe post links to some other interpretations? <br /><br />ChristinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4767062614016010274.post-60893819949361261352011-04-04T15:29:49.734-07:002011-04-04T15:29:49.734-07:00Hi Chelsea,

One small thing I would suggest is making the poem a different color so your comments and the poem are distinct from one another. I also like that you relate the poems to your everyday life. I might also be nice to offer a link to a wikipedia page or website of the author so readers can learn more about them.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01178026002924142505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4767062614016010274.post-16595225529022852932011-04-04T15:28:35.658-07:002011-04-04T15:28:35.658-07:00Great post Chelsea.

I would have liked to see you use some more examples from the text in your response, explaining some of the metaphors. Overall, I really enjoyed your explanation and interpretation of the poem.<br />SamSam I Amhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07633733293651471802noreply@blogger.com
