Hi, Juliet Capulet here. My favorite piece that I read over break was "Still I Rise" by Maya Angelou. I really liked it because it was a positive poem that was all about being comfortable with yourself and being proud of yourself. After reading the poem, I felt confident in myself too! Also, I really like the musical version of this poem sung by Ben Harper. It's called "I Rise." And he pretty much put music to the words. So I was pretty comfortable with the poem already. I really liked discussing the poem "Thoughts in a Zoo" by Countee Cullen. I think that was the best discussion because even though I didn't really agree with Ms. Knarr, we worked together to realize some things. Specifically, we learned about how maybe Angelou and Cullen were connected. I liked that we worked together like that.
