Relationships

The three poems we read were all about relationships but in a different way. The first poem we read was "How was Your Heart" by Charles Bukowski. The second poem we read was "To a Stranger" by Walt Whitman and the last poem was "Unentitled" Jennifer L'Hirondelle.

"How was Your Heart" is about how the author had a bad relationship with his dad. He writes about what his dad did to him. This poem is also about not having a girlfriend and how he had to go to whore houses. His life was pretty bad but he still had hope. "What matters is how you walk through the fire", that line represents how he still had a positive look and how he handled the situation through the rough times. 

"To a Stranger" is about a relationship that he never had. He wishes that he has a perfect life or a perfect relationships. The author also thought that nobody liked him. 

"Unentitled" is a different type of a relationship. Its a human to a non-human relationship. The poem is about how the author loves nature and how she always feels at home.

  1. I like to use of a quote to explain your thinking. try to explain a bit more in your last two paragraphs.

  2. You seem to be summarizing more than evaluating. I want to know what your opinion or thoughts are? Add your piece to each of the paragraphs and write a concluding thought as well. :)

  4. I think that you could have added more information on your last 2 paragraphs but I like how you talk about what kind of relationship each poem had.

  6. If you showed your thinking more that would be really great because you were on a roll. My favourite part was when you told how you show the poem. Good job

  7. Good job your explanation fits very well but you should have used more examples other than the poems we did!
