Still i rise

The theme of this poem is that whatever people think of her she still rises.
Also this poem teaches a lesson which is whatever people say or think of you just keep on and don't listen to them.

I can relate to this theme because if any one says or think something of me I'm
just gonna keep on and forget about it.

SARAH CYNTHIA WOULD NOT TAKE THE GARBAGE OUT

An example of hyperbole I found in this poem was " Homework! Oh, homework!
You're giving me fits." What this hyperbole means is that the homework is giving him fits because it's too much. I think the poet used hyperbole in this way because he is trying to explain how much he hates homework.

Changes by Tupac Shakur

The mood i get of reading this poem is sad because he tells you how things changed after him being a kid and having his family together.

I know this because he uses his own words to describe it so that makes it
easy for me to understand what he is saying.

I think the poet wrote this poem in this mood because
he's explaining his life or the past of his life so of course he makes it the mood he does.

Poetry responce (Negro)

I can infer that the poet has been through a lot of work and difficult things in his life.

The word i think describes the poet's feeling would be "worker" because most of the things he has done was a hard work.

The main idea of this poem is that he is telling one of the big or hard parts of his life he's been through.

I do not connect with this poem because i have not been through nothing he has been.
