this poetry scares me to

@elijah that good showing imagination

# data[].attributes.body
i think that poetry sometimes will have to be serious

# data[].attributes.body
@Camila I also like how the imagery was created without it being to serious in a way.

# data[].attributes.body
@Elijah r i liked it too :-0

# data[].attributes.body
i liked the poem because it shows that anyone can have an imagination.

# data[].attributes.body
Poetry doesn't have to be serious because not everyone enjoys the serious tone.

i agree with what you said. well said my dude. tell me more      l

I agree with you that cartoons keeps 10 years old innocent.-isaiah Rochon

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you. It did make me think about what some of the stuff he said. -isaiah rochon

@Isaiah

I agree with you. Showing the pure mind of a small child showed how much little kids don't know about the world.

@Brandon Chantrill

After reading the poem again I do see where I have made a mistake and I see where you are coming from. Thank You.

# data[].attributes.body
I like your perspective on this poem.

# data[].attributes.body
@Hannah

I disagree with your statement mainly because the authors belief isn't the main focus of the poem. It's a minor detail and the main point of the poem is to show these "cartoon physics".

# data[].attributes.body
I like how you said that cartoons keep the mind if a ten year old innocent but it will change when they get older since their eyes will be more open.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed how the poet conveyed the mind of ten years old and how he basically said that they think life is simple and anything is possible.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you. I like how you saw the poem as simplicity in a child.

# data[].attributes.body
In this poem I really enjoyed how it explained the simplicity of a child's mind. How from a child's perspective of life everything ends up good. These "cartoon physics" distract them from the much more real and alarming reality of the world. It keeps them innocent until they need to learn the scary truths of life.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed that they explained their beliefs.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed how the poet worded the poem. I feel like it conveyed a bit of sarcasm. It really does make you think and it's all just ingenuitive imagination.

@Brianna M
@Evan M

I agree with both of you

# data[].attributes.body
@Evan
Its around when they get older, they start to grow out of cartoons and experience the world

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed this poem because I understand everything about it.

# data[].attributes.body
@Brianna M  i agree with you i enjoyed the same thing.

# data[].attributes.body
@Sam

I agree with you. It shows many more dark meanings under the childlike smile the hides the true thoughts

# data[].attributes.body
What I enjoyed about this poem is the innocence of a Child's life is, when all they know is cartoons, along with their logic and not the real world.

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed the fact that it's true. Children know cartoons and things around them. They don't know anything else until they learn and get older.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with noah

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with brian

# data[].attributes.body
@Josh i agree with you

# data[].attributes.body
@Sam
Thanks. At first I thought the author was writing about themselves, but the name given is Nick Flynn, so there's very little chance of that.

# data[].attributes.body
@Noah i can see why you would think that they should know at the right age, But i still think that if they know at a young age, The more prepared they will be.

# data[].attributes.body
@Kaci I agree with your interpretation of the poem

# data[].attributes.body
@Kaci I agree with u

# data[].attributes.body
@josh I agree to your oponion

# data[].attributes.body
@jordan, I noticed that too, and found it interesting as well. I agree with you on the point that this poem has many interpretations of it, due to the fact that everyone thinks differently. I find it quite observant of you to notice such minute details such as pronouns, so kudos to you for that!

# data[].attributes.body
WAZZZZUP

# data[].attributes.body
@Julian I agree that children should know but only when they are old enough to handle it.

# data[].attributes.body
@Sam
An interesting take on the poem. Though I do not personally see it that way, I can see certain parts that could lead the poem in that direction.

# data[].attributes.body
@kaci i agree with you

# data[].attributes.body
@Jordan, I find that interesting as well, and find it observant of you that you noticed such a minute detail. Kudos to you for that!

# data[].attributes.body
@brian I agree with you : )

# data[].attributes.body
i liked it because to me it describes what a child under ten would think of when it sees something similar in the real world after watching cartoons or TV shows.

# data[].attributes.body
i enjoyed this poem because it is descriptive, though it seems to me as it is depressed or sad. it may hide a truth that few can clearly understand. thought i cannot find this truth it is there. i know it is there. some of us think they understand it but the truth is only the author can completely understand the meanings of the words that he has written. no matter how hard we try we may think we completely understand but after reading it again. we will learn something more about it. i also enjoy how he used many different examples to help explain

" the rules of cartoon animation
that if a man draws a door on a rock,
only he can pass through it."

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed the poem because it described how a child might think a story ends and how a story will actually end. It portrays in a rather dark, but humorous way. It shows lots of imagination, while giving a valid reason as to why kids think differently about life.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed this poem because is of a child not knowing about the real world and having fun with his imagination. Because the child does not know about the real world he thinks things are like tv or books.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed that the poem seemed lighthearted but the true meaning behind the poem is actually dark  and it is in the perspective of a child.

# data[].attributes.body
@joei, I really enjoy your interpretation of this. Children should knoe the difference between reality and fiction, and we tend to shelter them a bit too much.

# data[].attributes.body
It doesn't matter if you think that children should know about this. Honestly its better if they do know so they can be ready for the cruel,dark world that will be set in their paths. The faster they see through that false safety the better. I know it sounds wrong, But maybe its for the best that they mature at a young age.

# data[].attributes.body
@nicole I think you're right. Sometimes cartoons make reality seem perfect when it's not.

# data[].attributes.body
@camilia I agree with that a child's mind should not thinking of these horrible things and that we fill their heads with safety and security. That when they grow up they will never have to worry about danger because a hero will always save the

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed this poem because it seems lighthearted and child-like, but in reality it is much more. My interpretation of this is a child reasoning with themselves with their own minimal understanding of the real world whether or not to commit suicide. This is emphasized at the ending of the poem, with the man running off of a cliff.

# data[].attributes.body
@gracie, agreed.

# data[].attributes.body
@camila i agree with you how you said kids see what we dont want them to kids really do see everthing that happens they arent clueless

# data[].attributes.body
@ joei I agree with you about liking how the poem showed the difference of cartoon and chaos in the real world. To show the difference between children and reality.

# data[].attributes.body
I like this poem because it can be so easy to interpret it in so many ways. For Instance, I believe that the poem is made to bring to light how far a cartoon can stray from reality, and, because of this, influences the minds of young kids (around the age of ten, as the poem states). However, one thing I noticed is how near the end, the way the kids were referred to changed from ''they'' and ''you'' to ''her'' and ''she''. Just a little thing I noticed.

# data[].attributes.body
@joei, I think you're right. It's sad to see how our society is and all the bad things we allow. I don't think kids should ever have to see the terrible things that go on in our world.

# data[].attributes.body
as much as kids should't know about the REAL world, they should know. we shouldn't but this false sense of " the world is a beautiful place" because it's not. im not saying we should go up to babies and say " hey man you're in a terrible place." but at some point after about 9-10, kids should know that the world is NOT sunshine and rainbows.

# data[].attributes.body
@aaliyah i really like how you said that they do not have a filter, it's like they see what's going on but in their mind they do not actually know what to process or think about it.

# data[].attributes.body
@ melody , i agree with you about how a childs mind thinks differently than an adult .

# data[].attributes.body
@aaliyah i agree with on the fact that nothing can really shelter us from reality and all its imperfections.

# data[].attributes.body
@ nicole I agree with you with the fact that cartoons are so much different than reality. A child's mind could make anything happen because nothing is impossible to them.

# data[].attributes.body
@Aaliyah, I like how you said that nothing really shelters kids from the real world because that's true except that the only thing that shelters kids in such a way is their parents. When they see these real life things, they don't know that it could be life or death, they could think its just a game or that everyone will be saved until they see that rude awakening.

# data[].attributes.body
@ joei , i agree with you when you said how children shouldnt know what happens in this disgusting world .

# data[].attributes.body
@yaran i agree that children don't see what's going on around them and what could happen in a matter of seconds.

# data[].attributes.body
@kaitlyn i really liked your idea and i agree- in a child's mind, every one has a fairy godmother, every story has a happy ending...that couldn't be further from the truth in the real world.

# data[].attributes.body
i like how it shows imagery and actually makes you think about the setting and whats going on

# data[].attributes.body
the poems main focus was to show how kids see everything nothing really shelters them from the bad of the world. since we have social media every little thing done is in the spotlight so kids are a little to aware of whats happening in the world.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed this poem i think it was really about how a child's mind thinks differently than any adult could. How your never thinking about how the world is so vast. How a child's imagination could already make up a world.

# data[].attributes.body
i enjoyed the fact that the poem used the chaos in the actual world and contradicted it with cartoons. The poet was right on the terms of the terms that children shouldn't know the disgusting world they are in.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like how it creates an imagery of how kids could find themselves in these situations. But like how Flynn said we don't want them too. We don't want to scare them so we fill their head with cartoons and let them play with coloring books.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed how the poem described a childs imagination of being a hero and being saved in disasters. The poet kind of says in the begining that children shouldn't know what's going on in the real world because they will loose that sense of everyone being saved and having a hero.

# data[].attributes.body
what i enjoyed about this poem is that is how powerful a child's imagination could be. Cartoons bend all logic and reality and make it fake and fantasy. That real life is not an animation, you can't just stand next and to a bomb when it explodes and be perfectly fine after.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked how deep the poem was. At first the poem was about how children's cartoons show there can be problems but anything can be saved. In the end of the poem, it showed how in reality that's not always true.
