"The Red Wheelbarrow" so much depends upon a red wheel barrow glazed with rain water beside the white chickens - there is no rhyme scheme but the author added pauses in certain places to emphasize certain worlds - they use metaphors and a lot of detail to portray the scene to the reader.  - its a statement but leaves readers wondering why it's so important.  " I, too, sing America." I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen When company comes, But I laugh, And eat well, And grow strong. Tomorrow, I’ll be at the table When the company comes. Nobody’ll dare Say to me, “Eat in the kitchen,” Then. Besides, They’ll see how beautiful I am And be ashamed— I, too, am America. - Hughes uses hyperboles but no rhyming -it captures images on segregation and overcoming.

simile- my twin is as dumb as humanly possible metaphor- my twin is like a rock, dense. personification- the flower opened her eyes when my twin walked by bc shes so pretty hyperbole- my twin and I are literally the same people onomatopoeia- my twin killed someone BANG alliteration-  twins terrify teachers assonance-  twins in the bin consonance- the twins took time to terrorize teachers

I chose the song Supernova for this poem assignment because this song has gotten me through so much. I relate to the emotional part of it. The song talks about being betrayed by someone you thought would be there for you. Sometimes when multiple traumatic events happen to the same person you start to become numb to emotions and feelings. You feel like you’re living outside yourself looking down. You look back at the memories and decisions that you wish you wouldn’t have made. You can feel so disconnected at times and this song really portrays the emotion. Supernova shows that people will betray you when they find something better.  “Don't know what this craze is, oh walking through your mazes, oh oh I've been waking up drenched in sweat. All my dreams full of my regret”. This line of the song really stood out to me because of how confusing life can be. Everything can be fine one minute and completely flip the next. You can’t even function. your mind is moving miles a minute...

1) Supernova shows that people will betray you when they find something better. 2)  my point is you should never trust anyone. they will turn around a cut you down. 1)  Don't know what this craze is, oh  walking through your mazes, oh oh  I've been waking up drenched in sweat. All my dreams full of my regret 2) My minds of the notion, you'll still be my motive. I've been, I've been so messed up in my head I've been going through phases, I'm just going through phases 3)

Once we really talked about it the performance was definitely easier. Groups that did a lot of movement were more interesting to watch. The groups that had music in there performance did a good job of not letting the music distract from the monologue. I think it was harder for some groups who had a lot of lines, so keeping them short was definitely beneficial.
