Did Jack have a negative past experience?

I don't have any pets
so I can't write about one

O: Jack thinks that he cannot write about pets because he doesn't have one.

N: Jack seems to believe that he can only write from his personal experiences. He also seems to be giving an excuse not to write a poem.

W: Why does Jack think that he cannot write from imagination or observation? What made him believe that he cannot be a writer or a poet?

Yes
it looks good
on yellow paper
but you forgot
(again)
to leave more space
between the lines
like I did
when I wrote it.

O: Jack expressed what should be done in writing on the yellow paper.

N: He seems to be indicating that his writing is a better version and that the other person has forgotten to leave lines again.

W: What made him so sure that his writing is more acceptable than others?

O: Jack allowed his teacher to display his poems, but he rather remain anonymous.
N: He concedes they are aesthetically pleasing. He also enjoys reading poetry. But does not seem to have confidence.
O: What does he seem to fear? Are poems so abstract to him that he doesn't wish to explore that genre?

O: Jack thinks that only girls write poetry and not boys.

N: He does not seem to like writing poetry. He seems not to like girls too.

W: What about poetry makes him think it is for girls? Why would girls like poetry but not boys?

They look nice
type up like that on a blue paper ...

O: Jack finds it nice that his poem is being put up.

N: He has a slightly more positive/neutral attitude with his poem being put up and expresses more curiosity about poem rather than complaints/rants

W:  What made him have a change in attitude? What is it about "remaining anonymous" that is so important to Jack?

I don’t have any pets
so I can’t write about one...

O: Jack does not have a pet to write poem.
N: He used one and capitalised POEM.
W: Why did he capitalise POEM? Does he really want to write a poetry about pet?

# data[].attributes.body
O: Jack tried to write poetry but came up with nothing because his brain is empty.

N: I notice that his short lines became a prose without his intention. I think something is holding him back from trying harder to write a poem.

W: I wonder why he's so reluctant to write any poem in that sense. Does he have any assumptions that poetry is not meant for him? Not meant for boys? How is it possible for the brain to be empty -- the fact that he can say this proves that his is certainly working and not at rest.

Do you promise
not to read it
out loud? [...]

O: Jack repeated the above twice because he is afraid that his teacher might ignore his request and read his poem out loud.

N: He appears to have very low self-esteem. (Based on my personal understanding of students who are not very confident, they do not usually like to share.)

W: I wonder what experiences he had gone through to cause him to be so.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you promise not to read it?...

O: Jack does not want his work to be read out or published.

N: He seems to be scared of what others think of his work and has a negative perspective on his ability. He seems to trust his teacher.

W: What made him feel like that? Has he been made to feel like a failure?

# data[].attributes.body
[…] boys

don’t write poetry.

Girls do.

O: Jack does not want to write poetry because he thinks poetry is for girls.

N: He seems very certain that poetry is for girls.
He seems to have some existing beliefs/assumptions about poetry. (This seems quite different from my personal understanding of poetry.)

W: What made him believe that poetry is for girls? What is it about poetry that is associated with girls?

What does Jack think boys should write?
