Andrew Marvell: To his Coy Mistress

One of the examples of hyperbole that I found in this poem is that the author is saying that he loves her more than empire. I think he used this to show how much he loves her. A dessert of vast eternity. This show how much he loves his Mistress.

Just A Friend! - Ana Guerrero

Just A Friend!
You have lost your change the moment,
I close my eyes and fly away.

Time will never come back,
I will never think of you again.

I will never think of you again,
more than a friend or a classmate.

We see each other outside,
you are there playing baseball.


I don't even care,
I don't think of you,
more than a friend.

Thanks to you,
I have open my eyes and see,
how everything is in real life.

Chankara is a very brave person and she is strong. She is very independent because she doesn't want to be like her sisters. The day she got hit by her girlfriend she saw herself as her sister. I think she is going to brake her relationship with her boyfriend .Since this book is about poems, I think she is going to write a poem about the bruce her boyfriend left her.She learn that girls are not a punching bag. I learn that girls should not let theme self get hit because that is self disrespect. I connect this poem to the world because a lot of woman's make excuses to stay with the boy they "love". That is not love! You could stay with that person just if you "love" to get hit.

I think that Wesley acts like a "bad boy" so he could impress his friends. The truth is that he is interested in poems no matter what he thinks. I learn that he stops himself from learning because he wants to act like a "bad boy". The message of this poem is that the colored people still have hope and he connects this poem to other poems. I connect this poem to the world because is very difficult to leave hear and their is a lot of crime..
