I think because he was addicted to heroin the lyrics under the bridge mean that's where he would do it and he says he gave his life away so he knew he should get better and he was wasting his life. He loved the city and after he did drugs in the city he didn't want to feel like that again and realized this. The city is what helped shape him into who he is since this is where he went through all his hardships. I think the loneliness of the drugs pushed him to get better.

"a song in the front yard" by Gwendylyn Brooks

I believe that the narrator wants to be a "normal" child. She talks about being sick of ‘a rose’ and maybe that symbolizes being perfect. I assume the narrator is wealthy because she refers to the other children as "charity children". As the poem goes on the narrator talks about how she wants to grow up and ‘have fun’ and not be the perfect child that her parents expect her to be. In a way, it shows how children want to go off and make their own paths rather than be whatever their parents want them to be.

I think Bowie's self portraits are Bowie's way of showing the world how he depicts himself. He's a star in many people's eyes and I think that makes him feels untouchable and powerful, but also lonely and cut-off from a lot of normal things in everyday life. He's alienated from the world and he shows that in his portraits by making himself appear other-wordly and interesting.

The overall significance is that it doesn't matter where you come from or how your life was like. And even though you have people around you who judge those other people, it shouldn't matter what they think because people will be judgemental but it overall doesn't matter

I believe that the purpose of this piece is to display that despite the bad that has happened in the past that has made your life the way it is now, you can always reflect on yourself and go through the process of change if you are unsatisfied. Even though it may not be easy anyone can get to where they want if they persevere.

I think that the significance is that Bowie is trying to display his feelings. When he feels sad, the painting is sad, when he feels happy, the painting is happy. He wants to help people understand that he doesn't always feel great and while he may seem fine, he may perceive himself feeling mad.

I believe the significance of these pieces of work reflect the idea that you can look at yourself in many different ways, and see many different things at different times.

The significance could be the portrayal of human emotions in a figurative sense to shine some light on how rough things can be for a person experiencing these intense feelings of emotions

The poem discusses how the author has been confined to the "front yard" where everything is neat a tidy, and wants to see the "back yard" where everything is messy and unkempt. The mother tries to restrict what the child can do, and the child is rebellious a a result. The poem seems to me to be that people must experience things for themselves, that they must see the "back yard" in order to become who they are in the end

I believe the significance was to focus on the little things that make up you. It demonstrates that all of the little things are very important in shaping one's self that you may not first think of when you think about someone.

The significance is that the way that we view ourselves changes with our mood and our feelings. He represented this with different colors and differents styles of drawing and painting. He is painting how he perceives himself.

I think that it shows how all of our identities are different and unique in their own ways that not everyone's wheel will have the same things on them. I believe that the significance is that we all have our own identity wheels in life

I think that this helps to show the way that people are quick to judge based on circumstance and the way that who a person is isn’t represented by the place you live. The significance of this song is to show the way that youthful eyes see more of the special things that exist in people while aged eyes see the surface.

I think the author is talking about how she wants to be a normal kid and play with all the other kids who are poorer than she is, because she is tired of having to always act elegant because she is wealthy.

I see someone who is hidden by his emotions, he covers his true identity because he fears what others will think of him. He portrays his identity threw smudged paintings on canvas.

I think this author is an introvert, he uses art to speak. The only time he feels socially acceptable is when he is alone and painting.I believe the significance is reveling your true identity wither people like it or not, being happy is more important then being socially accepted.

The poem is to show hope and her ability to fight against the way she is being awfully treated and that no matter what they do to treat her poorly she will be resilient and will not let anything get her hopes down.

I believe that the identity wheel is significant because it looks different for every person. Everyone has different things mentioned in their identity wheel because everyone has different interests. Also every person has different sizes for each one of the slices because every person has things that matter more to them than others.

In the video for the song “This is America” by Childish Gambino, he is wearing only simple grey sweatpants with no shirt, to show that he’s just a regular human like the rest of us and he’s embracing his identity. Also he talks about how he’s a black man in the USA and that he’s accepting that.

I believe that the significance of we all have our own identity wheels that make us unique and who we are.

i definitely think that a child has a lot of rebellious thoughts. an adult tells you they don’t want you to do something and you immediately want to revolt and do it anyway. i think this poem helps find identity because the young girl is breaking out of her shell and becoming a young woman and finally figuring out what she wants to do.

She writes and illustrations about the things she's overcome, her fears, her dreams, things that made her unique and special, and more. I think she's trying to get across that it's okay to go through hard times and feel like it's not going to get better but it helps you become who you are now and prepare you for things down the road.

I think that it is trying to tell you that pressures from around you can not and should not define or confine you to be something you do not want to be. You are fully capable of finding yourself through your emotions.

I believe that the significance is that often people will hate you,look down upon you or even be jealous of you, and constantly people care about how that affects them but you must ignore them and become who you are and not because anyone says anything.
