Still I Rise
Today I'am writing about a poem titled "Still I Rise" This poem was written by Maya Angelou, this is a poem that signifies Maya's courage and unwillingness to let others put her down. My favorite lines in this poem is when Maya says "Did you want to see me broken?" This is my favorite line because people intentionally hurt other people so they can feel better about themselves. Maya has amazing courage to not let others hurtful words hurt affect her. I also think this line relates to schools a lot. I think this because you constantly see kids making fun of others for many ridiculous reasons. Another line that I like is when she says "Does my sassines upset you?" The reason I like this line is because she shows a lot of courage to say something like that! This is a really cool poem, because a lot of people would never have the courage to write a poem like Maya's.
