By any other name would smell as sweet."]]> 2017-02-17 18:22:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mayla51parker/d7sz8t5ylsl5/wish/154664896 Mother to Son By Langston Hughes mayla51parker https://padlet.com/mayla51parker/d7sz8t5ylsl5/wish/154769408 Well, son, I’ll tell you:

Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.

It’s had tacks in it,

And splinters,

And boards torn up,

And places with no carpet on the floor—

Bare.

But all the time

I’se been a-climbin’ on,

And reachin’ landin’s,

And turnin’ corners,

And sometimes goin’ in the dark

Where there ain’t been no light.

So boy, don’t you turn back.

Don’t you set down on the steps

’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard.

Don’t you fall now—

For I’se still goin’, honey,

I’se still climbin’,

And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.

from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it
learned to walk with out having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams,
it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared.]]> 2017-02-19 02:03:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mayla51parker/d7sz8t5ylsl5/wish/154769569 Still I Rise By: Maya Angelou mayla51parker https://padlet.com/mayla51parker/d7sz8t5ylsl5/wish/154770024 You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard
‘Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

I am making good grades and in Pre-AP courses because my mom was very inspirational. Each poem I have chosen reflect the theme in their own way. In " The Hall of Fame" it tells us to go fulfill our dreams and be remembered. In " The Rose That Grew From Concrete " tells us that even when we think something is impossible there is a way around it. In " Still I Rise" it tells us that no matter what anyone else does or says it is up to us to continue to rise. In "Mother to Son" its an example of how we will hit rough patches but we still climb. We can survive! I have loved this project but I would let us be more free with what we choose as our poems. I have a few I wish I could have used... Other than that I am really happy with the outcome of this project.]]> 2017-02-22 18:15:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mayla51parker/d7sz8t5ylsl5/wish/155547409 Bibliography mayla51parker https://padlet.com/mayla51parker/d7sz8t5ylsl5/wish/155833682 "11,567 Free Images - Photos, Illustrations, Vector Graphics: Rose."
