After Apple Picking

        When I read this poem, I said oh OK he picks apple, probably that is what he does everyday. From what he said he gets tired of it and because of that he is even dreaming about it. It sounds like a regular story a person tells to his friend about his day or week but in my opinion this poem has a good message behind it. It touches our daily life, how we need to see or do new things, do something different and better that just get up in the morning and go to school or work and come back home, sleep and do the same routine everyday. This would be a surprise but I liked this poem this time not for its length but its point.

The road not taken

I don't know if anyone agrees to this but in my opinion, this poem's main point is Trial & Error. According to the poem, he chose the road that no one used and he says he can get back to the other road next time. As far as my understanding is concerned, he chose the road because its different. I agree with the fact that we don't have to do what others do but sometimes there are(right) reasons why people don't choose that road and we have to consider that too. But overall it has a good point, we choose one way, if it is wrong we go back and start over using the other way because life is all about EXPLORATION AND ADVENTURE

Death, be not proud

This is not my favorite poem mainly because of the English. I can never pronounce those words perfectly. The worst part is I miss the main point of the poem trying to ready the (thou, dost , thee, canst...) words. However, good thing I gave up on the pronunciation, now I know that the poem means something, something about not being afraid of death, not making it a big deal.

Poem....We real cool

This is the shortest poem in our book so my blog will be as short as the poem. I somehow liked this poem, it is so true and I liked her closing phrase "We die soon". The poet pretty much wrote about what happened "We left school", what is happening, and what is going to happen "We die soon". All this on one very short and brief poem.

"After great pain a formal feeling comes"

   This poem reminds me of a lot of things, things that happen some time in our life. Pain is something to remember but the victory or lose over that pain is the real feeling we get, either happiness or sadness. Remembering the pain by itself gives us a feeling.
 Like I mentioned in my last blog, I love short poems because they are easier to understand than the lengthy ones. However the main thing I liked about this poem is the fact that it really touches our daily struggles, pains and different feelings.

Poem......Harlem

Let me be honest, I love this poem just because it is so short. If the poem I read is too long, I lose the main point and focus only on the rhythm. In this poem, off course I knew the poem was about a dream regardless of the length of the poem however, its length helped me understand that the poem is about dream that doesn't come true and how we take it. This poem is more of a question to us about how that dream could be interpreted and what is going to happen to it.

The Glass Menagerie

The glass menagerie is an interesting play. In addition to the fact that it has a lot of symbols we have to analyze, it points out our insecurities and how we deal with them.The main points of the play cover things like realities and how the characters try to escape, solutions people come up with to a problem, and how some of the problems shape a person's behavior like Laura is shy and stays at home because she is crippled, Amanda annoys her children because she tries to protect them from what happened to her, and To leaves his mother and sister at last like the way his father because he is sick and tired how his mother nagging him. Those main point we see in the play help us understand the symbols easier than it could have been.
