The poem was from a child’s innocent perspective and the mother was naïve. It had an emotional impact because no matter where her child was even a sacred place like a church, she was I’m harms way. I believe Dudley wrote this poem for the emotional impact it would have on people because it’s sad when any mother loses a child especially when you send them somewhere hoping they’ll return back safely but in this case her daughter didn’t. The purpose was to describe so we could have a better understanding of the pain and maybe even relate .

The poem gave more of an emotional impact than the news article because it gave a first account of a mother and a child during this tragic event. In this poem it shows a mother who cannot find her baby only her baby’s shoe in rubble. Dudley Randall wrote this poem as a response to the 1963 bombing at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. His purpose is to show that sometimes you try to protect your child and something worst happens.

After reading the poem, I can clearly see a more emotional impact rather than the news article because it comes from a real situation and someone who was affected by this situation. This differs because most people cannot speak from experience when you write an article, but when it is a poem about how this situation affects their life. Dudley Randall wrote this poem to tell the point of view of a mother. His purpose for writing this poem was to show that if one could go back, they would have said yes and let her enjoy what little life she had left because he did not know that a circumstance like this would have happened.

Dudley Randall gave us a deeper insight onto how this bombing affected people.

The poem gave us a personal view of the bombing of someone who was impacted by the events. That would make this poem have more of an emotional drive then a news article would. Dudley Randall wrote this to show the impact of the bombing, not just for a mother, but for a whole community as well. It was a racially driven event which does more than affect the people who lost their lives or got injured in the bombing.

The poem gave us the perspective of people affected by the bombing. Randall really wanted us to feel the emotion of the mother as she lost her child due to the bombing of the church. He wanted to show us the story of those affected because others at the time never heard their story.

The author portrayed the mothers and the child's last day, side of the untold story that the article just told us what happened but they mostly focused on what was happening back then and about the individuals that committed the crime. Dudley Randall wrote this poem for the world to hear the voice of an innocent child that did not deserve an ending like that and the side of a mother who was trying to protect her child and she lost her. The poem was written in response to the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham.

The poem was written in the point of view of one of the girls who was killed in the bombing of the church and having a conversation with her mother. Reading this poem gave me this picture of the complete day going through leading up to those moments of the bombing and made you realize that life is a precious gift and can be taken away easily. Dudley Randall wrote this poem to really connect with people in the civil rights movement and for people to have something to resonate with mothers who lost their daughters that day.

The poem showed  the layers of sadness from the mother that a news would never describe with the proper words.

I said this poem was written to be a different perspective on the same event that gives a deeper understanding, insight, and connection without that “filter” like the article had being very factual based with no opinions or emotions almost like it was a structured report.

We almost got to know the daughter and we wanted her to stay safe. A news article is still sad, but we don’t know the personal relationships of the person who died or behind the scenes of what happened that morning or the day before. I think the authors purpose was to show that numbers of people who died are still people, and have their own lives and loved ones. I think he wanted to show how tragic and sad this event really was for the families of young girls who lost their lives.

I think the fact that he added a mother and a small child got to our emotions 10 times more than it would have if he just stated that people were hurt and killed just like the news article did. He added some phrases like “no baby no you may not go” to give us a sense of how the mother felt about her going to the freedom march that day. He wrote this poem to give us an idea of what some people experienced and show us the grief the victims' families suffered from for example when he said “and that was the last time she smiled” it showed that that mother was never the same again.

His poem gave it a more personal aspect that one little girls thought thought process was so innocent only wanting to fight for her peoples freedom, he might of written the poem to bring the person more to life instead of just saying 4 girls died he gives a little insight to one of their lives showing they're humanity. the purpose for me seemed to show that it wasnt just four people who died it was 4 innocent little girls who wanted better for their people.

The poem has a more emotional impact than the news article because we are getting a point of view of a mother whose child had been effective by the explosion of Birmingham.
