Relationships


Relationship


The three poems on relationships were written very differently and about different kinds of relationships.  However when you take a closer look at the poems there is a connection to our relationship theme.  The poems can all relate to the way teenagers are dealing with life.  The poem "Your Heart" connects to the life of a teenager on how some things can be really difficult and yet they are still able to find contentment in parts of their lives.  It can be hard but yet they can still find happiness.  In the poem "To A Stranger" also connects with being a teenager by relating to how they can dream of relationships.  Trying to find the perfect person in your life.  It can reinforce a belief in love at first sight that many teenagers believe will happen to them.  In the poem "Unentitled" although it relates to nature it can also relate to the life of a teenager being content just being where you are.  I feel that the part of the poem about how you can be far away from home and yet feel like you are at home relates to feelings about being content and happy where ever you are.  

All three poems although different and telling different stories can all be related to life.  Each poem give a different view point and different feelings.  However all three poems are about different kinds of relationships and how they can make us feel.

  4. Great effort at connecting the poems. Paragraphs, quotes, and connections to your own work are all great suggestions. You may want to try to write the same ideas without the word "you" in it. Formal writing is more universal... for example... "When read in succession, the poems reflect several common facets of teen relationships." Take out the "when you take a closer look" parts. :)
