"The Danger of a Single Story" is a poem that makes us think about how it's not good to have just one way of seeing things. It shows us that when we only know one side of a story, it can limit our understanding and cause harm. The poem reminds us to appreciate different perspectives and not judge people based on stereotypes. It teaches us to be open-minded, empathetic, and to value diversity. By listening to different stories, we can break free from narrow thinking and see the world in a more complete and inclusive way.

1. Power has a significant impact on stories. It can shape and control narratives, determining whose voices are heard and valued while marginalizing others. Those in power have the ability to reinforce existing structures of privilege and perpetuate biased or incomplete narratives. Recognizing this influence is crucial for seeking diverse perspectives and creating a more inclusive storytelling landscape.
2. Stories are important because they help us understand the world, connect with others, and shape our beliefs. Rejecting the "single story" is crucial to avoid narrow viewpoints and embrace diverse experiences. Multiple stories challenge stereotypes, foster empathy, and promote inclusivity, leading to a more understanding and compassionate society.

Weary from travelling, I hasten to my bed – that welcome place of rest for limbs tired out from travel. But then another journey begins in my head that puts my mind to work after my body’s work has ended; because my mind begins another, arduous, trip, from far away from home, to where you are, keeping my drooping eyelids wide open. It makes them stare at darkness, as blind people do, except that my imagination makes me see your image, that hangs like a jewel in the black night and makes it beautiful, transforming its old face to a young one. Look, now! Because of you, neither my limbs by day, nor my mind by night, enjoy any rest.
My Take: Sonnet 27 expresses the poet's longing for his absent beloved. He finds solace in memories and the power of imagination, which bridge the gap between them. Despite physical separation, thoughts of the beloved bring joy and comfort to the speaker.

Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed,
The dear repose for limbs with travel tired;
But then begins a journey in my head,
To work my mind, when body’s work’s expired:
For then my thoughts, from far where I abide,
Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee,
And keep my drooping eyelids open wide,
Looking on darkness which the blind do see:
Save that my soul’s imaginary sight
Presents thy shadow to my sightless view,
Which, like a jewel hung in ghastly night,
Makes black night beauteous and her old face new.
Lo! Thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind,
For thee and for myself no quiet find.

Childhood's Retreat
Robert Duncan
Unknown date of when released to public.

It’s in the perilous boughs of the tree

out of blue sky    the wind

sings loudest surrounding me.

And solitude,   a wild solitude

’s reveled,   fearfully,   high     I’d climb

into the shaking uncertainties,

part out of longing,   part     daring my self,

part to see that

widening of the world,   part

to find my own, my secret

hiding sense and place, where from afar

all voices and scenes come back

—the barking of a dog,   autumnal burnings,

far calls,   close calls—   the boy I was

calls out to me

here the man where I am   “Look!

I’ve been where you

most fear to be.”

Childhood's Retreat is a very relatable to me because what the poem is explaining is the life I am living in currently.
The poem "Childhood's Retreat" is about aspirations, dreams, and the will to achieve them. Duncan remembers a place he visited as a young teenager when he aspired to do great things and become someone he always wanted to be. Now, after turning into an adult, the young version of him calls out saying that he can dream and aspire, something he fears to do.
Although I am not a adult I'm still living in that child like state where I believe I can do anything.

Understanding And Interpreting
1.  The speaker repeatedly refers to a “war drum.” This is not necessarily meant to be taken literally, but what does it
represent? Who is the “you” that the speaker is addressing?
Although it does not say a name I did research and it is hinted towards Israel and their soldiers killing against Palestine's people.

2.  How would you describe the speaker of this poem? What evidence from the poem supports your interpretation?
I feel as if the speaker of the poem is the Palestine people fighting against Israel and getting others to not follow in there steps.

4. The word “will” has several different meanings. How is it used in the title of the poem and why?
The Will in What I Will could mean many different things but I think it really represents following your own path and what your ownself will do and not what others tell you to do.
