2) "The Light the Dead See"
3) "Insomnia", "I Hear America Singing"
4) "Immortal Sails", "I Am the People, the Mob"
5) I liked "The Paradox" and "I Am the People, the Mob" the best out of my five chosen poems. I liked "The Paradox" because it had a very deep connotation, and was a good length. It discussed dark topics which appealed to my rather ornery disposition. "I Am the People, the Mob", however, was more uplifting. It talked about how people as a whole move society along, and that everyone is in part responsible for the darkness and greatness of our history, which i also found very interesting. "Immortal Sails" was the only poem I disliked, and that's simply because it was too lofty and lovestruck-sounding. I believe that out of all these, i would most like to study/learn "The Paradox". It connected with me on a level of interest, as opposed to one of emotion. It piqued my love of all things dark, and... paradoxical?
I think the easiest criteria will be understanding and accuracy, for i am quite adept at memorization and recitation. I'll have the most difficulty in physical presence and voice and articulation, because when it comes to presenting in front of an audience, i am literally garbage.
"Writ on the Steps of Puerto Rican Harlem"- this was a successful recitation because the reciter spoke with passion and confidence, and conveyed the poems meaning without distracting the audience.
"I Am Waiting"- this was a successful performance because she spoke with conviction, and had a clear and strong voice.
I have confidence in my future performance the Poetry Out Loud competition. I believe it is a great thing to do to engage students in poetry. I believe my poem, "The Paradox", will be easy to recite and very interesting to the audience.
Anyways, Salut- i'm tired of writing
