Our group attempted to interpret what Sarah Howe's poem Loop of Jade with out looking at the original first. At first we thought it was two different poems since  the size of the stanzas were really different in size and word length.

# data[].attributes.body
Characters: "Me", mother
Action: "Huddles closer to the other girls." This could be to keep them warm, and show motherly love. "Hairs begin to lift" shows the coming of the lightning, which symbolizes something bad.

Group 3 (Jade, Brendan and Nic) - Paragraph 3 Analysis

# data[].attributes.body
Setting - Set in a dark, gross place (very unhygienic).  There are cockroaches and algae and rust and faeces.  It is disgusting.  It is set in a school and the school is described with dark imagery.

Character and Action - The character washes her hair with green detergent. This suggests that poverty is imminent within the environment she is exploring.

Style - The style of text that she displays throughout this poem in paragraph 3, she utilises extensive vocabulary to describe the imagery, fully sculpting the idea she would like the audience members to understand with adjectives. For this section of the poem, they have devised this into a range of sentences, being indifferent to the structure of the entire poem. Additionally, figurative examples such as metaphors are used to describe the given imagery thus painting a visual for us with connection to the use of the five sense.

Ideas - Paranoia, disgust, hyperboles, smilies, exaggeration.

Howe's interpretation is very different from ours. The poem was muddled, and they seemed like paragraphs more than verses of a poem.

Our groups interpretation of Loop of Jade was very different from Sarah Howe's. Our group thought that each stanza of the poem corresponded with each paragraph of the prose. However, the poem and the prose was connected by meaning. Comparing Zhu and Liang, with her and her mother.

NVM ITS AN IMPROV

By KJ

# data[].attributes.body
In the original, the author speaks about 2 stories at once, with one being the mother talking to the author, and the other being about a pendant made of jade between Zhu and Liang. However, our interpretation revolved around piecing the puzzle together with logic, which in turn creates a different story but with a similar kind of meaning/feel to it. Our improvisation also alternated less frequently between the short and main story.

# data[].attributes.body
Sarah Howe and our interpretation were very different. We had a different streamline of logic. It would be challenging to make it match up, because the blocks of proses and poem seemed pretty isolated, both structurally and logically. It made sense after reading hers, but it was hard to see the big pictures when we were trying to put it together ourselves. We made it alternating between short poem and prose, while Sarah Howe's version seems more random.

# data[].attributes.body
My Interpretation:
-Limited view
-Random

Sara Howe's interpretation:
-Beautiful
-Going out on tangents
-Logical

# data[].attributes.body
Our interpretation is quite different to Sara Howe's as we thought that the different structures we came up with were more logical and made more sense. It was challenging to match up the blocks because we are not familiar with Sara's work and the blocks did not seem to have an obvious structure. After reading her full poem, it made sense but it was still slightly muddled and in some areas, it seemed like she was going off on a tangent and some parts seem relatively random.

Instead of incorporating the story in the form of a poem in the middle of larger paragraphs of text, our group arranged the poem to make sense chronologically then arranged the rest of the text. When putting the poem and text together, we looked at hints in the long paragraphs that indicate which stanza is in front or behind the paragraph.

# data[].attributes.body
Our sequence was pretty close to the original. We followed the logical order but got confused by the small verses.

Ours was different than that of Sarah Howe's original, but still included some elements from the original. For example: we thought the stanzas with italics would go in between stanzas with normal words. This was something used in the original, but the order was what we did incorrectly.

When the television has stayed on too long, the channels ended, and all the downstairs lights switched off but one, sometimes, rarely, my mother will begin to talk, without prelude or warning, about her growing up. Then her words feel pulled up from a dark and unreflective well - willed and not willed. It isn't that this tacit contract is not tinged by our same daily fumblings, but when men are asleep, I think she believes that it's someone else's turn to listen.

inside a room with an autumn storm happening outside. The poet is with her mother?

# data[].attributes.body
'I can never know this place' shows that the character e.g. the poet feels like she doesn't belong, and she feels unfamiliar.

# data[].attributes.body
Looking at the structure of this text, the poet does not end each section with full stops, instead in a rather more "run-on" style.

# data[].attributes.body
'its daily thinning soup' shows that the characters are poor, because they are running out of flavour and they just have to add more and more water to their soup, suggesting food shortage.

The first paragraph is set in a dimly lit living room with a television.

The characters in this paragraph are the author and the author's mother.

'The harbour thundering in the echoing room' shows chaos through how loud it is, and how vulnerable the people in the room are under comparison. This creates a gloomy mood in the poem.

# data[].attributes.body
The style of the first paragraph is that it is in first person, with the person being the poet, Sarah Howe. She used some form of symbolism, because 'her words feel pulled up from a dark or unreflective well'.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the paragraph is trying to highlight a trapped feeling felt by the narrator. A night dead television set shows that there is not more entertainment; a sense of loneliness and emptiness  is present. The autumn storm mentioned also indicates that the narrator is trapped indoors. Finally, the mention of wrought bars could be a metaphor for bars in a prison cell. Further emphasising the trapped feeling. ~ Jade w

Once she spoke of her horror, as a very small child, of the communal kitchen in their low-rise tenement - half-outdoors in that muggy climate, it ran across the whole row, a corridor or terrace; this space, aside from a housing a blackened, static wok the size of a Western baby's bath, was also a latrine. Of squatting barefoot over the cracked tile trench and trying not to breathe. How despite themselves her eyes would follow to the nearby drain, as it sprouted - here she giggles, shivers - the glistening bodies
