https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82 After reading all of the inaugural poems last week, what particular techniques did you notice? What kind of techniques do you think you will use to create your own inaugural poem? How will you inspire your audience (the American people) ? en-us 2020-12-14 03:19:29 UTC 2026-03-09 01:14:42 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/2604.png s1750898 https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020119681 I noticed how the author used metaphors in order to emphasize their point. I would probably use smilies, just because they are just easier for me. I would tell the people what they need to hear. As in I would inspire them to fix the problems is society. ]]> 2020-12-15 14:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020119681 https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020119701 I noticed that all these poems had some imagery and symbolism. These were used to "show, not tell". I think I will use imagery and inner thoughts to show my point. I think showing the inner conflict of the character makes the reader feel the situation, and stand in their place.]]> 2020-12-15 14:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020119701 s1751165 https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020119751 I think a lot of the techniques I saw were the authors naming 'everyday' people doing 'everyday' jobs, but emphasizing how important they were through a specific writing pattern. I think I will try to recreate that in my poem because it had a very nostalgic effect. I want to inspire people by somehow stating that no matter what we do, we all contribute to America.]]> 2020-12-15 14:39:20 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020119751 https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020119851 Some technique they used was using positive feedback, then trail it with an antonym to twist the meaning. Also, personification is heavily included. 
Techniques I might use are definitely personification since it seems more...err comforting per say. It speaks more to me if that makes sense.
I would like to inspire my audience by first naming some down hearted items such as war and poverty that still exist, sometimes not in eyesight. Softening there original emotion, then describe all we are yet to know. All what awaits. And how we all could change that.]]> 2020-12-15 14:39:21 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020119851 miraco https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020121331 I noticed that a lot of the poems used a lot of imagery to describe the history of America. Some of them also brought the country together by describing activities that common people do. Another thing I noticed was that usually the poets either described America's past, or America's present, not really focusing on both.
Like the other poems, I'd like to use a lot of imagery and focus on the togetherness of America. I would also find a certain phrase to use multiple times in the poem.]]> 2020-12-15 14:39:40 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020121331 https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020121552 I saw lots of imagery while talking about the past. I especially like Past, Present, and Future techniques, describing all of those time periods.  I think I would talk about the past, the troubles that we are currently going through, and then what we might do in the future.]]> 2020-12-15 14:39:43 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020121552 https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020122172 I realized many of the poems included the daily routine of many average citizens. It shows a different side to every normal action we take in life. I will use this technique to create my own inaugural poem as well. 
I think many people do not like their own normal lives. When you put a different perspective on that, it will change hw they look at things for them to realize its much better than they think. ]]> 2020-12-15 14:39:51 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020122172 https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020122227 There was a lot of imagery and symbolism when they were speaking about the past. When I create my inaugural I want to acknowledge the harsh past of America. I want to inspire the audience by v]]> 2020-12-15 14:39:52 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020122227 s1917328 https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020122543 I noticed that the authors refered to  America as something. For example they refered to  America  a rock or they refered to America as she. They talk about the past and present and how America has to more to come.

I think the techniques I would use would are to refer back to the past because they worked so hard by working together and building things such as fourth war. They worked together to build roads and buildings. I think America should work together to bring more furture  to the newer generations because there is more furture in America]]> 2020-12-15 14:39:56 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020122543 https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020122791 they used the technique of metaphor to help the readers understand something that wouldn't have normally been place well if put flat out. i would like to keep the flow of metaphor because i really think it adds to the whole poem feel. i will use images of what the future could be]]> 2020-12-15 14:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020122791 https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020124199 I noticed a clear purpose to each of the poem that was represented through different images and sayings and symbolism. For most of the poems, each stanza was either a continuation or a further explanation of the theme they were emphasizing.
I want to use words purposely and make my line breaks intentional. I also want my images to speak for themselves like the inagaural poems did.
I want to inspire my audience by having optemistic views on a future, whatever that will look like. I want to be inclusive and thoughtful when mentioning historical events, and I want my audience to be able to relate to my writing.]]> 2020-12-15 14:40:16 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020124199 s1676563 https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020124469 I noticed that in a lot of the inaugural poems that we read last week, the authors use lots of imagery, repetition, and dramatic words. The imagery creates a vivid images in the audience's mind as they read, and pairing that with the dramatic words provides some sort of urgency to this image, whether it is positive or negative or something that is for the audience to perceive. Repetition caused each important "concept" to be pounded into the audience's head each more, allowing the poet to choose what the audience gets the most out of the poem. I will use repetition and imagery in my poem and will definition try to include "power words", but I do struggle with using my vocabulary when writing so that may be a challenge. I will inspire my audience by conveying an idea of togetherness throughout my poem.]]> 2020-12-15 14:40:19 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020124469 s1937691 https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020125521 In the beginning of the poems the authors were focused on the past, and use symbolism to focus on war, slavery, and other faults in our past. The author describes regular actions to describe the present. They then move to talking about the future using imagery. I would start with the present, and explain the faults in it. Even though people in the past thought the future would be an amazing, super high tech place were everyone lived in peace, but we are still divided. I would inspire by saying that there was a hope for the future of humans, if only we start caring for the planet and it's people.]]> 2020-12-15 14:40:32 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020125521 https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020131185 There was a lot of imagery being used in the inaugural poems we read last week. If I made my own inaugural poem, some of the techniques that I would use would be a lot of imagery because it makes the reader feel like they are there witnessing certain events.]]> 2020-12-15 14:41:40 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020131185 https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020131265 I noticed that most of the poems comment on the United States and highlight major movements and and things that we could do to make the U.S. a better place or things that have been done to make our country better. I think I would like to do somewhat the same, and be very dramatic with it. I think I would like to talk about current events that have tried to make our country change for the better, like the Black Lives Matter movement or LGBTQ+ issues. I don't know I think it'd be good if we could touch on these issues because people have seemed to forget about it. ]]> 2020-12-15 14:41:41 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020131265 https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020134028 they all used metaphors. I will put a lot of imagery and metaphors. I will inspire my audience with good look at everything]]> 2020-12-15 14:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020134028 https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020135486 I think that the inaugural poems tended to be abstract and didn't go into a lot of detail about anything, instead drawing a big picture. I would probably try to do that, too. I could inspire the American people by using conflicting ideas or using a similar phrase but moving the words around. ]]> 2020-12-15 14:42:34 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020135486 https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020135519 That they were all very smooth. None of them were staccato or offbeat so they had a good rhythm. They also used imagery of the earth and the surrounding area. I will make sure to use symbolism in my poem because none of the poets speak directly. I will inspire the audience by bringing up how life is short to motivate people.]]> 2020-12-15 14:42:35 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020135519 https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020136137 In the inaugural poems we read last week, I noticed that the authors used a lot of figurative language. I really enjoyed the usage of metaphors and would like to add this into my own inaugural poem. ]]> 2020-12-15 14:42:43 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020136137 https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020139761 they use metaphors imagery mostly.

For my inaugural poem, I will most likely use lots of imagery, but I am not very fond of repetition. I will write also of the future. ]]> 2020-12-15 14:43:55 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1020141828 s1711794 https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1028589085 I saw a lot of imagery and I was actually able to picture what I was reading and I would like to put imagery in my poem. ]]> 2020-12-17 17:18:16 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1028589085 s1722399 https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1029149741 there was a lot of like imagery/descriptive stuff to give the viewer a vision. the authors were also very like not literal.]]> 2020-12-17 19:26:09 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/53tmuhousw555b82/wish/1029149741
