1. Both of the poems describe where you came from and also both were about inauguration.

2. Both of the poem writers had some type of the same message but just different words in their poems. Like Amanda is talking to the world. While Maya is just talking about like a day.

3. Maya's poem is about the world and how we can protect while Amanda is about racism and the difference between both. But there isn't any difference between because were all the same. So I think Maya's poem did influence some poets to talk about racism, equality etc.

# data[].attributes.body
1. In the two poems, both share the same meanings and were both said during an inauguration. Both poems talk about everyone coming together, so meaning building a better nation.
2. I saw that Maya's poem had more metaphors to symbolize an important subject, while Amanda's poem was straight to the point about all the subjects she was talking about. In Maya's poem she says,  "The dinosaur, who left dried tokens
Of their sojourn here
On our planet floor,
Any broad alarm of their hastening doom
Is lost in the gloom of dust and ages.", this is more of a metaphor. While Amanda's poem says, "We are striving to forge a union with purpose
To compose a country committed to all cultures, colors, characters and
conditions of man
And so we lift our gazes not to what stands between us
but what stands before us
We close the divide because we know, to put our future first,
we must first put our differences aside
We lay down our arms
so we can reach out our arms
to one another
".
3. I think there has been much progress since Maya made her poem, but there is still some racism problems etc that we need to fix.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Between the two poems I noticed that they were both free verse with many of the terms such as - metaphors, alliteration, repetition etc. They both also represent world problems, meaning they are both some metaphor for something more serious or ongoing.
2. I notice Mayas poem is much shorter, but is more symbolic and focused on one subject while Amanda's poem has many topics and more straightforward. In Mayas poem it states, "A Rock, A River, A Tree

Hosts to species long since departed,

Marked the mastodon,

The dinosaur, who left dried tokens", which is shorter and is more of a metaphor compared to: "We seek harm to none and harmony for all

Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true:

That even as we grieved, we grew

That even as we hurt, we hoped

That even as we tired, we tried"
In Amanda's poem.

3. I think there has been evolution after her poem, but I also think new problems have come up, but that's how life is going to evolve.

# data[].attributes.body
1. In the poems, ¨The Hill We Climb¨ and ¨On the Pulse of Morning¨, both have a deep meaning that is written to be shared during the inauguration. Both of the poems also share the meaning of courage in making this country a better place by not hiding your identity.
2. These two poems also share differences in the mood. During Amanda's speech, she has this voice to make the poem tell a story. It seemed like she was really trying to bring us along in the poem in an encouraging tone. On the other hand, Mayaś speech had more of a powerful voice and the poem was being spoken word for word in a serious tone.
3. After Maya Angelou´s poem was created it seemed like more blacks are able to have the freedom to do things. Her poem led Amanda Gorman´s opportunity to also write a poem for the inauguration.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Both poems have lots of passion and both poems don't rhyme that much. They both both talk about growth in the nation.

2. Amanda said the poem with more passion than Maya. Amanda's poem was straight to the point and Maya's poem had a lot more thought in it.

3. I think that it has made progress but it won't fully go away. Amanda says that "When a day comes, when can we find light in this never ending shade?"

# data[].attributes.body
1. Both Amanda Gorman and Maya Angelou's poems spoke about making advancements in many different aspects, like overcoming struggles, and more. Angelou's poem states, "But seek no haven in my shadow, I will give you no hiding place down here." It could be interpreted in the sense that we cannot hide from our future, so we must accept it and find ways to improve it. They both included inspiration for the future in their speeches, especially directed towards those in dwelling in America.
2. Some differences I see are that Maya Angelou's poem speaks more metaphorically, yet the meaning can still be determined easily, too. Gorman's poem still includes slight metaphors, but can be understood more easily than Angelou's poem for some. Angelou's poem says, "A Rock, A River, A Tree, hosts to species long since departed." It has many metaphors that could be seen in different ways by various people.
3. I certainly believe that progress has been made since Maya Angelou's poem was created, but of course nothing is exactly perfect, especially in society. In the poem, The Hill We Climb, it states, "Somehow we've weathered and witnessed
a nation that isn't broken, but simply unfinished." I agree with these words, and believe that though we have definitely advanced and improved in society, there are many more issues to solve and much more progress to be made.

# data[].attributes.body
1. There is a bit of similarity like they both talk about some people helping the community grow stronger. The poems show that there is still hope and the authors are trying to inspire this idea to people. They both were empowering and inspiring. In "The Hill We climb" it states, "It's because being American is more than a pride we inherit, it’s the past we step into and how we repair it." Amanda Gorman is trying to encourage people to help change the world. So she wants them to help rebuild the community together. In "On the Pulse of Morning" it states, "you may stand upon my Back and face your distant destiny," This shows that the author wants to tell the world that if you t=dont work hard or at least try your future wont be great. So these two poems are inspiring to work hard and help change the world.

2. Amanda's poem was more of a message to give out to the world, but the way spoke her poem was with passion and hope. Angelou spoke her poem seriously and it was way more straightforward in what her goal was. Amanda used fewer metaphors than Angelou's poem. Amanda had more emotion to her poem than Angelou.

3. There has been a lot more progress since Maya Angelou's poem. People have been more aware and more people helped the black community rise. Amanda and Maya inspired many young poets around the world. Amanda inspired people to keep going, "We will not be turned around or interrupted by intimidation." She is telling everyone that we shouldn't give up on what we want and don't let anyone intimidate us and make us stop. Maya inspired people to work hard and help support the community.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The similarities for both of the poems are that they both talk about growth, and they are both inspiring.

2. Maya Angelou's poem talk about outside and nature more. In her poem, it states " A Rock, A River, A Tree". And Amanda Gormans's poem was more straight forward and straight to the point.

3. Amanda also talks about the country more, and Maya talks about the outside world and nature.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Both poems share the message of overall growth and to "step out of the shade". For example, from The Hill We Climb, "This is the era of just redemption / We feared at its inception / We did not feel prepared to be the heirs / of such a terrifying hour / but within it we found the power / to author a new chapter / To offer hope and laughter to ourselves". This quote implies how we should grow to stand up and take control, and to give hope to others. In Maya Angelou's poem, she also shares how we should grow to show ourselves and not hide and be afraid. These two poems also are free verse, meaning they have no particular structure.
2. Although the two poems have a lot of similarities, they also have several differences. In The Hill We Climb, it is much more literal, while, On the Pulse of Morning, is much more figurative and contains more metaphors and personification. I can get this by the opening phrase, "A Rock, A River, A Tree". The whole poem is telling the story of a rock, a river, and a tree, which all can not experience things like emotions.
3. I definitely think there has been progress since Maya Angelou's poem, though, there are still improvements that need to be made. In this generation, there have been much more opportunities for African-American descendants than before, and there is more of a connection between people of different cultures. For example, in The Hill We Climb, "To compose a country committed to all cultures, colors, characters and / conditions of man / And so we lift our gazes not to what stands between us / but what stands before us /

We close the divide because we know, to put our future first, / we must first put our differences aside". This implies how we are growing to become a nation that accepts everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
1. There are a couple of similarities in both of the poems. Since Amanda Gorman and Maya Angelou both spoke at the presidential inaugurations, they had to start the poem by addressing the president and vice president. But more importantly they share a deeper meaning that everyone should have equality and to end racism.

2. Maya Angelou and Amanda Gorman both have the same message, but they are spoken differently. Maya's poem is using a lot of metaphor such as "A Rock, A River, A Tree Hosts to species long since departed". While Amanda's is more of a conversation to the whole world.

3. Since Maya Angelou's poem it inspired many people to start to do poetry, and Amanda Gorman was one of them, who was the youngest person to ever be the inaugural poet in US history

# data[].attributes.body
1. Both poems talk about improvement in the country, because, while it is already amazing, we still have a long way to go to make it perfect.
2. Angelou's poem has many metaphors, as seen when she talks about the rock in the beginning of the poem. Gorman's poem still had metaphors, but they were not too deep. Angelou's poem, on the other hand, had many deep metaphors mixed in.
3. There has been a lot more progress since Maya's poem. There has been a lot more awareness for the black community. Immigration laws have been improved. Despite there being a lot of environmental problems and racism, now almost everyone knows about our issues, which can lead the new generation to figure out a solution.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Both poems use morning as a symbol of giving courage to get rid of darkness. In "The Hill We Climb," it's stated that "When day comes we step out of the shade," which shows that morning gives the people courage to step out of the darkness and into light. In "On the Pulse of Morning," it says that "The horizon leans forward, Offering you space to place new steps of change." The part about the horizon leaning forward means that day is coming, and the light chases away the darkness, "offering space to place new steps of change."

2. While Gorman's poem focuses more on political topics, Angelou's poem leans more towards nature - related metaphors. In "The Hill We Climb," there are many references to America and its pros and its cons and its goals. For example, "We are striving to forge a union with purpose To compose a country committed to all cultures, colors, characters and conditions of man" is stated, which addresses America's goals. In "On the Pulse of Morning," the poem is mostly composed of 3 natural things and their messages to humanity. For example, the very first line is "A Rock, A River, A Tree", which starts off with introducing the naturistic personifications Angelou would use later on.

3. There's definitely been progress since Angelou's poem was created. In "On the Pulse of Morning," it's stated that "So say the Asian, the Hispanic, the Jew... The privileged, the homeless, the Teacher." This  goes on for a few lines, naming many races and social standings, which shows that Angelou feels the need to express the division between the people, giving the impression that those divisions were prominent during her time. In "The Hill We Climb," it says that "We close the divide because we know, to put our future first, we must first put our differences aside." This shows that when Gorman wrote her poem, she's able to think that unity between various ethnicities is possible, which proves that there's definitely been progress throughout the years.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Both of the poems talk about the morning/ daylight. For example Amanda says, "When day comes we ask ourselves, where can we find light in this never-ending shade?" Maya says, "The bruising darkness". Both poets also recited their poems at the inauguration.
2. One of the differences that I saw is that there is a lot of metaphors used in"The Hill We Climb". "The Hill We Climb" talks about the future and how our actions now affect the future for generations beyond. "On the Pulse of Morning" kind of looks at the worlds darkest times. "But seek no haven in my shadow, I will give you no hiding place down here."
3. I think that Maya's poem may have been a big step towards equality rights and fixing other issues, but her impact now is lessening.

# data[].attributes.body
1. They both were empowering, encouraging people to stand up and be brave. In "The Hill We Climb," it says that "Being American is more than a pride we inherit; It's the past we step into; And how to repair it." This is one example of Gorman encouraging people to step up and make a difference in the world. In "On The Pulse of Morning," it says, "Come, you may stand upon my back and face your distant destiny." This is a line encouraging the reader to do something important with their life.
2. "The Hill We Climb" feels like it's more about change, and how we need to unite and help improve our nation. As Gorman writes, "And so we lift our gazes, not to what stands between us, but what stands before us. We close the divide because we know, to put our future first, we must first put our differences aside." This quote talks about the importance of standing together.

"On The Pulse of Morning" felt more about a single person's journey, and about how the reader/listener alone needs to be courageous and strong. As Angelou wrote, "The Rock cries out to us today, you may stand upon me, but do not hide your face." This quote drives the importance of a single person's bravery, rather than talking about unity.

3. I think that, while there is still lots of work to be done, the issue of discrimination has gotten much better since the beginning of the Clinton presidency. For example, gay marriage was legalized, and people began protesting more about hate crimes.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  Each poem talks about how fighting for justice isn't smooth sailing and there are a lot of problems that go unannounced. For example, "On the Pulse of Morning" states, "Come, you may stand upon my back and face your distant destiny, but seek no haven in my shadow. I will give you no hiding place down here." and "The Hill We Climb" states, "The loss we carry, a sea we must wade. We've braved the belly of the beast. We've learned that quiet isn't always peace." These statements show that change doesn't happen without a struggle or a fight.

2. "The Hill We Climb" central theme is more focused on sticking together can change things while "On the Pulse of Morning" focuses more on staying positive. For example, "The Hill We Climb" uses the subject, "We" a lot rather than you or I, while "On the Pulse of Morning" uses optimistic words such as "lift up" and "hope."  "On the Pulse of Morning "is more indirect because there is a lot more figurative language while "The Hill We Climb" is more direct because the poem has fewer figurative language and states things in its simplest form.

3. Yes, there has been progress. Hopes of positive changes for the future in America happened, such as more equality and freedom in ideology.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Both poems talk about becoming better and growing as a community to create a better future.  Both poets are talking about being the change we want and it we try can can be that change.
2. The difference I see is how Amanda's poem is wanting to make a change in the country and deeper meaning. While in Maya's poem is more about making a change in the world and isn't as specific.
3. I do think Maya's poem has made a difference in our world today, now there is equality.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Both poems inspire the audience and leave you shocked. Both poems also talk about growth, and have no rhyming.
2. Amanda's poem I felt like had a deeper meaning and she was straight to the point. Mayas poem had more metaphors and wasn't easy to understand before breaking it down. The text states, "A Rock, A River, A Tree, hosts to species long since departed"
(Angelou 1-2). This shows that Mayas poem has more metaphors in her poem and is a little harder to understand.
3. I think there has been a lot of progress made after Mayas poem. Racism has gotten better but could still use way more effort to end it.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  They both express passion and feeling in their poems. They also both talk about being united and rising up. For example, Amanda's poem, says, "In every known nook of our nation, in every corner called our country, our people, diverse and beautiful, will emerge, battered and beautiful. When day comes, we step out of the shade, aflame and unafraid." and in Maya's poem, it says," The Rock cries out to us today, You may stand upon me, But do not hide your face." They are both similar because they both have to do with being brave and stepping up.
2. I felt like Amanda's poem had more emotion in it and was more powerful, while Maya's poem had more of a deeper meaning to it. For example, in The Hill We Climb when it says "A country that is bruised but whole, benevolent but bold, fierce and free." had lots of power in it.
3. I think that there has been progress, for example, the world is more equal now.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Both poems talk about growth and and how to progress as a group of people and how to make society stronger.
2. Amanda Gorman's poem talks about society and that we should strive for our goals, but Maya Angelou's talks about nature and a beautiful song being sang by a river.
3. Maya's poem is about how we should take care of the environment, Amanda's poem is about race equality and that we shouldn't be afraid because of the color of our skin.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Both poems have at a point talked about the past . For example Amanda Gorman says "We've braved the belly of the beast

We've learned that quiet isn't always peace

And the norms and notions of what just is

Isn’t always just-ice". Maya Angelou says in her poem "Any broad alarm of their hastening doom Is lost in the gloom of dust and ages". Both of these poems talk about the past and what lives in the past have faced. This is one of the similarities between both poems.
2. One of the differences in the poems I see is that Maya Angelou uses personification, giving life to an object. In the poem she writes "But today, the Rock cries out to us, clearly, forcefully,  Come, you may stand upon my

Back and face your distant destiny,

But seek no haven in my shadow,

I will give you no hiding place down here.". In this part of the poem she explains to not hide in shadows and to stand up, and while explaining this she uses personification. Instead of using personification Amanda Gorman uses more metaphors.
3. I believe that Maya Angelou's poem was very inspiring and may have changed people's opinions from earlier and have a great influence. I believe that this poem influenced and encouraged more equity. Maya Angelou had went through many hard times during her life according to the video, and writing the poems that she writes shows that she is still going. Because of poems there is more hope, positivity, and equity.

# data[].attributes.body
1. A similarity I see between both poems is, they talk about growth as a country and have a really deep meaning. I know this because the poem by Amanda Gorman states, "That even as we grieved, we grew

That even as we hurt, we hoped

That even as we tired, we tried." This shows us that both poets were trying to give the message that we are all growing.

2. One difference I see is that Amanda Gorman's poem is much quicker and flows better than Maya Angelou's poem. I know this because, in Amanda's speech, she talked very fluently and didn't pause as much as Maya.
3. Since Maya Angelou's poem was made, I think there has been some progress because racism has became much less of a problem and there is much more unity.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Both poems are inspiring and show passion as well as talking about the topic of growth. Amanda says, "History has it's eyes on us". This quote shows that they have a similar tone.

2. Maya Angelou's poem is more about nature as she says, "A Rock, A River, A Tree",while Amanda Gorman's is more about political issues and growth.

3. I think there was more political causes too Amanda's.

# data[].attributes.body
1) A similarity between the 2 poems is that both are talking about moving on and facing the future with hope. For example, Amanda Gorman says "We will not march back to what was, / but move to what shall be. / A country that is bruised but whole, / benevolent but bold, / fierce and free." She is talking about looking towards the future, and rebuilding better. Maya Angelou says something similar when she says, "The horizon leans forward, / Offering you space to place new steps of change." She is saying that the horizon (also the future in this case) is giving you space to plant the ideas for change.
2) Some differences that I see is that Maya Angelou speaks through the metaphor of the Rock, the River, and the Tree speaking. Most of her stanzas have phrases such as "The Rock cries out to us...", "A River sings a beautiful song.", "The speaking of the Tree."
Her words, in the poem, are being said by these inanimate figures. However, in Amanda's poem, she speaks as though she is having a conversation with the world. Throughout her poem she always uses the words 'we' or 'us', or 'ourselves'.
3) There definitely has been progress made since Maya Angelou recited her poem, in her poem she simply talks about everyone of all races coming together, "So say the Asian, the Hispanic, the Jew / The African, the Native American, the Sioux, / The Catholic, the Muslim, the French, the Greek
The Irish, the Rabbi, the Priest, the Sheik, / The Gay, the Straight, the Preacher, / The privileged, the homeless, the Teacher. / They hear. They all hear / The speaking of the Tree." but in Amanda's poem, she specifically mentions "where a skinny Black girl / descended from slaves and raised by a single mother / can dream of becoming president," to me this shows that this can become a reality in this day and age.

# data[].attributes.body
1.Both poems talk about how our nation as a whole could all come togther to make are country the best it could be.

2. Amanda said her poem with more passion. Her poem was also shorter and gave of more a meaning.

3.I think there has. Almost everyone has been treated equal. But our country may be getting worse for some peoples opinon.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  The two poems deliver a powerful message that encourages hope, change, and growth. On the Pulse of Morning says, "Back and face your distant destiny, But seek no haven in my shadow." The Hill We Climb states, "“If we're to live up to our own time, then victory won't lie in the blade. But in all the bridges we've made, that is the promise to glade." Both of these quotes encourage changing the world for the greater good.
2. The Hill We Climb focuses a little bit more on change in the world, while On the Pulse of Morning leaves a more direct message to the listener. For example, The Hill We Climb states, "That is the promised glade, the hill we climb, if only we dare it: Because being American is more than a pride we inherit— It's the past we step into, and how we repair it.” This statement proves how Amanda Gorman speaks to the country as a whole. According to On the Pulse of Morning, "You may stand upon me, but do not hide your face." This is an example of how Maya Angelou almost recites her poem to the listener individually.
3. There has been progress since Maya Angelou recited her poem. Even though there is still room for improvement, the issue of racism and equity is a lot better than before.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Both poems are poems that were written for a very important occasion. They are written in free verse, without a structure that makes its own meter. The poems convey that the country is ready for and requires innovations and it is we who have the power to ameliorate it. Th poems also talk about equity, liberty, and unity. Amanda writes, "For while we have our eyes on the future history has its eyes on us" and Maya mentions, "The dinosaur, who left dried tokens of their sojourn here on our planet floor," which show that the future that is created is in our hands and we have to make the world we were left with, even better for the next.
2. There are several differences between the two poems. A few obvious ones are that they are written by different people, in different eras, and for a different president. Some other differences are that Amanda Gorman's poem is more straight forward while Maya Angelou used more figurative language, especially metaphors and personification. Another thing is that Maya connects many phrases to components of nature.
3. I think there has, in a way, been progress made since Maya Angelou's poems but also no. The title of her poem, "On the Pulse of Morning," itself means aspiration and advancement. There have been many advancements in technology, as a unity, in the economy, etc. but there doesn't seem to be a noticeable amount of improvement in racial segregation or discrimination of gay and transgender people. From the 1940s to the 1970s, there was a huge improvement but, to my research, not much from 1990 to present day.

# data[].attributes.body
They share the same theme of growth and empowerment. For Amanda's poem, it says "We are striving to forge our union with purpose," which shows that they are growing as a nation. Both were also spoken by women on inauguration day.

The poems differ because one digs deeper than the other based on equality and the other talks more about the nature of life. In Maya's poem, it says "a rock, a river a tree. Hosts to species long since departed..." which talks about nature elements (even though it has a deeper meaning than rocks, trees and such). I feel like in Maya's poem, the rock is referring to the president and how you should rely on him, her or them, but I also feel like it's a cool poem on it's own without political meaning.

I feel like a small bit of progress has been made towards fixing racism, but I feel like it will never truly go away. As Amanda says in her poem, "When day comes, when can we find light in this never-ending shade?" which refers to how human nature is to raise yourself above others by pushing others down. With that, I feel like there is less racism than before, but that it will never go away. This also can be said for Maya's poem, too.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The similarities that I see between the two poems is that they have similar poetry format, and also that they are both encouraging others to change the world into a better place and to achieve your dreams. This is showed when Amanda Gorman says that change comes from courage, and Maya Angelou said to "Lift up your eyes" and continue to follow your dream.
2. Some differences of the poems that I see are that Maya Angelou's poem is kind of like a metaphor, and relating it to nature, while Amanda Gorman's poem is more literal. Another difference is that Maya Angelou seems to recite her poem slowly and with more seriousness, while Amanda Gorman recites hers more swiftly and with calmness.
3. Yes, I think that there has been progress made since Maya Angelou's poem, because there is more acceptance and equality to others right now, that we didn't accept before.

# data[].attributes.body
1.Both talk like they are passionate about their poems and talk about helping the nation by growing it. Making it sound powerful and as if it means something ginormous thing.
2. Amanda talks about the country and Mia talks about the world.
3. In the past people didn't like blacks and now we are more accepting blacks as who they are and not their skin color

# data[].attributes.body
1. The poems are very similar. They both tell about the struggles of life and how we learned from and fixed the past. For example poem, 'The Hill We Climb' states "That even as we grieved, we grew". This quote shows that even in the hardest of times we did not stop. Another quote is from 'On The Pulse of Morning'. It states "The bruising darkness Have lain too long". This quote means that you should stop living in and looking back at the pain and Live your life happy.
2. Some differences that I see is that the 'On the Pulse of Moring' poem is that uses metaphors and similes. Instead of just saying something straight up like in 'The Hill We Climb'. For example 'On the Pulse of Moring' poem states "But today, the Rock cries out to us, clearly, forcefully,". This quote shows us that we should help the ones in need especially if they ask for it. 'The Hill We Climb' states "and might with right, then love becomes our legacy" This quote shows that we should love instead of fight.
3. There are now many changes to the world of poetry since Maya Angelou's poem was made. For example, today there is less discrimination and segregation. The poem states "But do not hide your face". This quote shows how African Americans should not be afraid to hide who they are. Today no one wants or needs to because everyone is excepted. The poem by Amanda states " It's because being American is more than a pride we inherit, it’s the past we step into and how we repair it". This quote shows that it is ok to make mistakes as long as you fixed them. This is what America did when they got rid of segregation and discrimination.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The similarity between "On the Pulse of Morning" and "The Hill we Climb" is that both poems use personification. "On the Pulse of Morning" says, "A River sings a beautiful song. It says,
Come, rest here by my side." Also, "The Hill we Climb" says, "history has its eyes on us".

2. The differences that "On the Pulse of Morning" have with "The Hill we Climb" is that both use different metaphors. "On the Pulse of Morning" says, "A Rock, A River, A Tree", but "The Hill we Climb" says, "We will rise from the gold-limbed hills of the west".

3. There has been progress since there is more equality and diversity nowadays. One example of this is that Barack Obama was the first black president. Also, movies are also starring more black people.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  Both poems have a lot in common.  For example they are both talking about america.  In Amanda Gorman's poem it says to leave behind our country better than we found it.  This proves that it was about america.  In Maya Angelou's poem it says, "Face, your country, and say..."  This also proves that this poem talks about america.  Lastly both poems were read on inauguration day.
2.  One difference that I see is that with Maya Angelou's poem, she sticks to one metaphor throughout the poem while Amanda Gorman talks about many different things.  For example Maya Angelou's first line is, "A rock, a river, a tree."  and the middle line in her second to last stanza is, "Rock, the river, the tree, your country."  This proves that she is using the same metaphor throughout the poem because the metaphor she used in the beginning of the poem, she is still using at the end of her poem.  In Amanda Gorman's poem her first line is this, "When day comes, we ask ourselves, where can we find the light in this never-ending shade."  And one of her last lines it this, "Every breath from my bronze-pounded chest, we will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one."  This proves that Amanda Gorman is using many different styles of text and many different points of speech.
3.  Many changes have been made since Maya Angelou's poem was created.  For example, there are many more poets now, lot of whom are Black and/or female.  In her poem it says this, "The Rock cries out to us today, you may stand upon me, But do not hide your face." This shows that when she made this poem she wanted people to not hide what they were doing but be proud and acknowledge it, which people must not have been doing much when this poem was created. Despite that people know a days still feel pressure to be like everyone else, but a lot more people have felt free to express themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Both of the poems are free verse, and a have a meaning that needs thought to find out. They both say that the U.S. has room for impovement.

2. Maya's poem had more metaphors. Amanda had a more confident voice when she spoke. Maya's poem is very empowering, but it is spoken in a calmer way.

3. There is less segregation today, which shows progress since Maya Angelou wrote her poem. We are more equal however, and segregation has significantly decreased. There are some people who still wish to segregate, and bias against people of color.

They both talk about the growth of America and how we can help it grow even more. Amanda Gorman uses more deeper meaning and talks about it more clearly.  I think there has been a lot of progress because Amanda's went beyond.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The poems both have meaning that is deep and slightly hard to find out. The poems express deep feeling and passion.

2. There are more metaphors in Maya's poems than in Amanda's poems. Amanda Gorman, to me has a more expressive voice when she speaks.

3. I think that Amanda Gorman made more of an impact to the world than Maya Angelou's, but Maya Angelou's poems might have been more personal and taken more to the heart than Amanda's.

1. I see that there are many similarities between the poems "The Hill We Climb" and "The Pulse of the Morning." First of all, they both describe overcoming challenges, an example being wars which are both described. They are also both free verse poems written by African American women.

2. Even though both poets are describing challenges that we have, they are describing different points. Maya Angelou's poem talks about "coming out of the shadow" and emerging from challenges, this is because the U.S. had come out of World War II and the Civil Rights movement. Amanda Gorman's oem is about facing the challenges. Right now we are in the midst of a pandemic, and are facing Climate Change and many issues with waste. Gorman wants us to face these challenges bold-faced.

3. There has definitely been progress made since Angelou wrote her poem because there is no more segregation, and there has been much less war in recent years. There are new challenges coming out though. We need to face the new challenges and not repeat the old ones. We are constantly "climbing a hill."

1. Both the poems are occasional poems- and both talk about us now as the important thing- that time ago other people/ species were in the spotlight- but we are what is important. Maya says, "But today, the Rock cries out to us" and Amanda states, "For while we have our eyes on the future, history has its eyes on us. - despite our unpleasant histories- we are united.
2. Amanda Gorman talks about America and our people directly- in a third-person perspective, but Maya uses metaphors of nature to speak of America.
3. I think progress has been made- because Amanda acknowledges this in her poetry- but Maya has not as much- symbolizing that something changed between the two.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Both poems don't really rhyme that much and they both talk about progressiveness. The poet states, "But today, the Rock cries out to us, clearly, forcefully". This shows that people of color are finally standing up for themselves and we should listen to them.
2. Amanda Gorman spoke with a lot of intonation and passion about what she was saying, whereas Maya Angelou was more serious and recited the poem. Amanda's poem was more clear and straightforward, while Maya's poem was more metaphorical. Amanda Gorman states, "We will not march back to what was, but move to what shall be: a country that is bruised but whole, benevolent but bold, fierce and free" Maya Angelou states, "The Rock cries out to us today, You may stand upon me, But do not hide your face" Both states are saying that we should proudly fight for our right and create a better environment, but one uses a metaphor, the other does not.
3. There has definitely been progress since Maya Angelou's poem was recited for people of color. Amanda Gorman's poem states, "We, the successors of a country and a time where a skinny Black girl descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming president, only to find herself reciting for one" This means that there has been a lot of progress and people of color can do many things now, but it is not finished and racism still exist, so we must do anything and everything we can to become a beautiful, inclusive community.

# data[].attributes.body
1) Both poems had something about our past and how we should do better
2)Maya Angelou used more metaphors to talk about the future. and Amanda Gorman talked about the now and the future
3)Yes, a lot has changed. The world has come far. The world has started to accept everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  They both talk about how they want to change the world just from different perspectives. (Racism, equality, etc.) They both talked for inaugurations.
2. The differences between these two poems are, "the hill we climb" is a very empowering speech and it is said out with great courage. "On the pulse of morning" is also empowering but calmer.  Maya also has metaphors all throughout the poem, Amanda still had some but her speech was more straightforward in a way.
3. There has been growth in equality, for example when Maya was giving her speech, she was a black woman talking to a white president. Amanda on the other hand was speaking to a black vice president.

# data[].attributes.body
Both poems talk about the struggles of american people in the past in a deep and passionate way of writing. Amanda Gorman's poem is deeper and her words have a deeper meaning that is usually overlooked when it states, "We've learned that quiet isn't always peace" Maya Angelou uses less emotion when she reads her poem, and Amanda Gorman speaks really passionately and changes her voice a lot while speaking. A lot of progress has been made since Maya Angelou's poem was written, such as Barack Obama being appointed president.

(PLEASE READ BELOW)
1. Both of the poems were free verse, meaning they didn't have a format that was set in stone. Obviously both of them were narrated at an presidential inauguration. Both poems also speak about growth of the U.S. and that there is room for improvement. For example, both of the poems address the current president, Gormon addressing Joe Biden and his wife, and Maya Angelou addressing Bill Clinton and his wife.
2. Amanda Gorman's poem is much more direct and is easier to understand than Maya Angelou's poem, which was more metaphor driven, making it harder to understand at first glance. Amanda Gormon  talks about how the U.S. can improve directly, like saying that "Somehow we've weathered and witnessed, a nation that isn’t broken, but simply unfinished," which more directly addresses the idea at hand, which Angelou talks about the metaphorical rock, river, and tree.
3. There has been progress made since Maya Angelou's poem was created. No one can ignore the fact that racism and inequality still exists, but people have made a stand and have changed many things, improving a lot of things. Most people aren't "[seeking] haven in [the] shadows" and are fighting for what is right, proving that there has been at least some improvement since Angelou wrote the poem.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I see that both poems use lots of the poetry terms, such as rhymes and metaphors. Also, both poems are about looking to the future, and not staying in the past. "The Hill We Climb" says, "When day comes, we ask ourselves, where can we find light in this never-ending shade?" This shows that we need to stop staying in the past and look to the light in the future.
2. Amanda Groman's poem was longer, and it was more blatant in saying the theme. Maya Angelou's poem was much more abstract. She says, "The Rock cries out to us today, You may stand upon me, But do not hide your face". This quote talks about a "Rock", while the other poem uses more obvious terms and fewer metaphors.
3. I think progress has been made because, in 1993, there were a lot more racism incidents than there are now, and people nowadays are much more accepting.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Both of the poems talk about having equality and growing from the problems in our society
2. Maya Angelou uses many nature metaphors but Amanda Gorman's has many thought-provoking plays on words. I also thought that Amanda Gorman used her hands and body language to really make us feel the poem.
3. I think that although there are still many things that need to be improved, there has been progress from Maya Angelou's time to right now. Many of the things that activists fought for during that time period have been changed and improved, and there has been more representation in political figures.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I see that with both poems they talk about how are job is to make the present better than the part and the future better than the present.
2.  the differences I see are mainly are not in what the poem was telling but how the poem was written.
3. I think that there has been a lot of progress made and I think in America most of the time everyone is excepted. there are some exceptions and we are not perfect but I think in the future we will be.

# data[].attributes.body
1. These poems are kind of similar because they both don't really have all the rhymes and repetition of a traditional poem you would see. And they were both inaugural speeches for the president.
2. I think Maya Angelou's poem was a bit harder to understand and used a lot of literary elements while Gorman's poem was more simple and straightforward.
3. I think progress has been made from the 90s because there is not that much segregation anymore and people treat black people more equally now than they did in the 20th century. All the civil rights activists' efforts have paid off in big ways as there is barely any more racism (but not zero) today and we have made a lot of progress over the years.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I believe both poems don't rhyme or click in a pretty or certain way, but instead empower a powerful stride. They both used a very strong and expressioned tone, that was used to describe their poems. The poems both relate or are being compared to something, like Amanda, she compared hers to a hill that we have to climb, a hill of racism, struggles, etc. And Maya talked about a river and crossing it.
2. While Amanda was speaking, she used a lot more physical expression. She used her hands, and her head-she nodded her head, moved her body to show how her emotions felt, and she used hand motions. However, Maya used a more speaking approach. She used her words more, as her words might have had a deeper tone to them. Lastly, Amanda's poem was very straightforward to the topic, whilst Maya's was more kept in.
3. I do think our country has grown since the poem of Maya Angelou, but it did not change as much as I'd like. I wish everyone would have heard her poem, or the world would've maybe been more equal. However, segregation is gone and a lot of people are being treated equally, makes me think her poem really did change the world. Still though, there's always room to improve the world.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Both poems have either very little or no rhythm or rhyme.  The two poems have similar topics that are talked about (growth, moving forward, etc.)

1) Both of the poems don't rhyme much and they both have a deeper meaning. They also are both for an inauguration. Maya Angelou talks for Bill Clinton while Amanda Gorman talks for Joe Biden. They are also both about equality among people.  We see this when Maya in the beginning, "Dear Mr. and Mrs. Clinton.
2)They both are different lengths and Amanda Gorman's poem was more powerful while Maya Angelou's poem had more of a deeper meaning like she was not letting on the whole meaning.  We know that Amanda Gorman's poem is more powerful because she says a lot of things that have a heavy meaning behind them like, "Our country bruised but whole". This means that our country may be hurt but we are still whole as a community.
3)There has been progress like when Barack Obama was appointed president. There was also Sonia Sotomayor who was the first Hispanic Justice.

1. They both don't have much rhymes in it but they are both for a inauguration and also they are both talking about moving forward.
2. Maya's poem had more metaphors than Amanda's poem but Amanda's poem was easier to understand like when she is saying the hill we climb we can probably figure out she is trying to say that we are trying to climb our way up to respect and equality.
3. Since their poems I think there has been more progress for people with other culture and they are also respected more.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Both of the poems don't really have a rhythm or a rhyme. They both incorporate nature into their poem.  Maya Angelou talks about a river in her poem and Amanda Gorman talks about a "hill we climb".
2. They both are different lengths and have focus on different things in the world. Even though they both want to make the world better the perspective of each of the poets is different.  Amanda talks about making the world a better place for future generations while Maya Angelou talks about

1. Both of the poems "On the Pulse of Morning" and " The Hill We Climb" were made for the purpose of being read at inaugurations. They were both recited by African American women, and both have important messages to Americans.
2. While they're both passionate, the poems have different tones. While Amanda Gorman's poem is about unity and hope, Maya Angelou's poem is more about coming out of the shadow. "You, created only a little lower than the angels, have crouched too long in the bruising darkness."

3. There has been progress with the civil rights movement since "On the Pulse of Morning" because now, "white only signs" aren't allowed.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Both poems talk about equality and how all of us are one. They also both have a hopeful tone and talk about how we have to put our differences aside and make progress toward the goal of equality between everyone in America and on earth in general. Finally, they were also both written for the inauguration.
2. I think that the way that Amanda Gorman and Maya Angelou spoke or presented their poem is different because Amanda used more hand gestures and exaggeration, while Maya stayed more in place and had a different kind of tone in her voice. They are also different because of the metaphors they use to describe the point or message they were trying to deliver.
3. I believe there has been progress in our country since Maya Angelou's poem but there defiantly hasn't been as much as one would expect or need. While there aren't black water fountains and black bathrooms, there is still lots of segregation all over the world and in America. I know this not only from my own background information but also from Amanda Groman's poem where it says, "And, yes, we are far from polished, far from pristine, but that doesn’t mean we are striving to form a union that is perfect." This tells us how even though there are factors of equality that have changed, there are still many more changes that need to be made.

1. I see that both poems are about gender and racial equality and they sounded impowering and important.

2. Some difference I saw was that Amanda was a little more straightforward with her poem with Maya's poem was mostly all metaphors. For example, Maya said "A Rock, A River, A Tree Hosts to species long since departed." This was a little more confusing than Amanda's poem to interoperate because it was less straightforward.
3. There has definitely been progress since Maya made this poem because she's now been doing so much more life staring in movies and shows.

1. Both poems talk about growing on history and making a change or a new feature so that it is peaceful and we don't always have to have it like this way.

3. Amanda's poem was told to more of the world than Maya's was, so Amanda's probably made more of an impact on our country. But Maya's poem might have been spread to part of the world, but not nearly as many people as Amanda's poem.

1) The two poems are similar because the theme of both is about moving on and growing.
2) The Maya Angelou poem seems a little more obscure and symbolic than Amanda Gorman's. Amanda's poem is more straightforward. The evidence from the text is "A Rock, A River, A Tree, hosts to species long since departed"(Angelou 1-2). The evidence shows a more hidden meaning than the lines in Amanda's poem
3) Maya's poem has probably made less of an impact because it wasn't recited in front of the entire country like Amanda's, but it still has a deep meaning that could push our world to be a better place.

# data[].attributes.body
1. They both dont have rhyming schemes but they still have a deep meaning.
2. But Amanda Gorman puts more meaning into her poems and metaphors. Maya Angelous looks onward for the community of the people. "Scripture tells us to envision that everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree, and no one shall make them afraid." Amanda Gorman has more purpose
3.Amanda Gorman dives into social problems and looks back into past for out future

If we’re to live up to our own time, then victory won’t lie in the blade, but in all the bridges we’ve made.

The two poems seem to have a tone of passion in their writing. In Maya's poem the passion is shown when she says "Come, you may stand upon my Back and face your distant destiny." They also both show symbols of growth. However Maya used more metaphors while Amanda told it more straight. An example of this is when she says " But today, the Rock cries out to us, clearly, forcefully." This was Maya using metaphors. Amanda talks about real world problems such as when the white house got broken into and the pandemic.

1. The two poems talk about the american people reaching out and growing. 2. They are different because maya angelou represnts the people as a rock and amanda gorman represents the will of the american people as a thing reaching out. She says "But while democracy can be periodically delayed

it can never be permanently defeated" like it is a warrior.
3. Amanda gormans writing is more about the modern struggles. Like I believe she talks about the insurrection  when she says "We’ve seen a force that would shatter our nation

rather than share it

Would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy

And this effort very nearly succeeded

"

# data[].attributes.body
1.) The two poems share the same topic of growth and both have passionate speakers. In Amanda Gorman's poem, it states, "Somehow we've weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken but simply unfinished." In Maya Angelou's poem, she says, "Any broad alarm of their hastening doom

Is lost in the gloom of dust and ages." These poems further prove that their poems are about the growth of our country/world.

2.) The two poems are different because Maya Angelou uses more metaphors while Amanda Gorman talks more straightforward. I think this because Amanda Gorman's poem states, "I think that there has definitely We are striving to forge a union with purpose To compose a country committed to all cultures, colors, characters and conditions of man." Another difference in the poem is that Amanda Gorman's poem is a lot longer than Maya Angelou's poem.
3.) I think that there has been a little bit of growth in between the time that Maya Angelou recited her poem, to when Amanda Gorman recited her poem. I think this is because people are more accepting, now, and there is less racism. I know this because Amanda Gorman's poem says, "We the successors of a country and a time Where a skinny Black girl descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming president

only to find herself reciting for one."
