Two Perspectives

Read book, Life Doesn't Frighten Me At All by Maya Angelou.http://www.swaraj.org/shikshantar/life_mayaangelou.htm Whose voice do you hear? What does this person look like? What does this person feel?
Now...imagine the opposite...What voice do you hear now? What does this person feel like? What does this person feel? Take a look at how a poem can be created through the inspiration of another poem.http://pbskids.org/arthur/games/poetry/poems/998937.html

The poem now takes on a different meaning...It will now be called Life Does Frighten Me A lot- what would frighten you? what would frighten the voice you decided to be? Using your knowledge of poetry rules, reformat a page in this book

Interesting poem...do you really feel that boys are better in soccer than girls are?

I DON'T REALLY THINK THAT ONLY
BOYS PLAY SOCCER.
GIRLS DO TOO!

AND IT IS KIND OF RIGHT THAT
NOT ONLY GIRLS WRITE POEMS ,
BOY DO TOO.
