this poem was so good

Dear Ian:
I am intrigued with your reading of Rachel Sherwood’s poem, “The World in the Evening,” because when you read it I was able to get a deeper understanding of what this poem could mean. One set of lines that stands out for me is,

“miniature guerillas
that mimic the ancient news of the world
and shout threats, piped high across mock fences
to girls riding by in the last pieces of light”.

I think these lines are powerful because it shows what summer can potentially be in this town. Another set of lines that stands out for me is,

“voices sound like echoes in these streets
the chattering of awful boys as they plot
behind the juniper and ivy,”.

I think these lines are powerful because it shows the negative actions people can have this summer.

Your reading helps me to understand a poem that I once heard. It is also about how summer is approaching but the only difference is in this poem, it was about the positives of summer in this town.

Thanks for your reading. I look forward to seeing what you make next.

Dear Ian:
I am calmed by your reading of Rachel Sherwood’s poem, “the World in the Evening,” because the words give a very calm vibe. Also the title is very calm.

One line that stands out for me is, “voices sound like echoes in these streets.” I think this line is calm echoing is a very psychadelic sound.

Another line that stands out for me is, the color of the sky makes brilliant reflection”. I think this line is deep because it is a metaphor for reflecting on life at the end of the day.

Interesting I remember reading these books when I was younger. Personally I liked the red pyramid series better (also by Riordan). What was your favorite book by Riordan?

I saw your article and was immediately interested because I have watched the movie multiple times before. While reading through your article I have become more inclined to read the book, which is something I don’t do all the time, I usually just watch the movies. Thank you for sharing this post, I hope you have inspired others to read this book as well.
