It helps us express ourselves and we talk about LIFE through metaphors, similies and verse. But some say it literally, others lyricaly. It doesn't matter because it's all about that musicality, that flowetry... that poetry. And these young Brave New Voices have been heard.Nancy Garcia Medinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7921482201362124284.post-25719174913085395202009-05-15T17:29:00.000-04:002009-05-15T17:29:00.000-04:00oh and I agree with the first comment.

You could've def delved more into the reason behind the moment and its effects on others, besides the ones behind the voices.Brittany Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00412683829370243414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7921482201362124284.post-56165494468627098392009-05-15T17:27:00.000-04:002009-05-15T17:27:00.000-04:00Personally, I belief it was absolutely fine and da...Personally, I belief it was absolutely fine and dandy. I love reading about the diff poets and their story behind their passion, most of all I love your writing angle. Read just like an article straight out of a magezine. IDK wut the teacher was thinking...guess they aren't big on poetry :-/Brittany Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00412683829370243414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7921482201362124284.post-56835690495461262302009-05-15T09:57:00.000-04:002009-05-15T09:57:00.000-04:00You definitely deserved an A.

It was almost as if you brought each one alive with their own quote.<br /><br />Something I think that would have improved the essay (or at least something that I wish I could've read) was how this movement affected the audiences, the listeners. Yes, you were illustrating some faces behind the movement, but a movement is about both the mover and the moved. It would've been great to discuss the power of poetry over those who don't consider themselves poets but are fond of it for some reason. Ya know, people who attend these slams...for everyone in the audience is not a writer but can surely be "encouraged, enlightened, and empowered." With your love for detail and precision, you would've definitely illustrated that aspect rather well too!<br /><br />All in all, I loved it. I could've read on for days. Shoot, I'd love to be the subject of a feature story written by B.Harg one day. :D<br /><br />-Chucked Deuce and Twice the Love-<br />Be2nd Letternoreply@blogger.com
