Topic/Thematic Concept: mental illnesses, having support
Explanation: I chose this poem because the author puts no blame, hatred, or fear towards people with mental illnesses. Instead of informing readers that people with schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and eating disorders are abnormal, he takes a different approach. The author says how people with mental illnesses are superheroes, because they get up every morning, and put on a cape and a fake smile. They hide behind a mask people don't even know exsist; and for that reason, they should never feel alone. The author explains how telling someone "You're not alone" may not solve the person's problems, but it makes them feel worth something. Nobody should ever feel alone, and this poem emphasizes it.

Topic/Thematic Concept: (racial) Equality
Explanation:  I love the way he presents his idea by bringing together people of all different kinds of races and backgrounds and how they speak the words he says making it seem like we have the same mind. Especially the two old men "switched" races by having the white man say he's not black and vice-versa. It made me think about how if those labels were switched, that would would society shaped them into someone they are not and be judged off of stereotypes.
This reminds us to not simply judge others based on what they look like or where they came from, but for who they actually are. You are most than just a label.]]> 2018-05-31 03:19:51 UTC https://padlet.com/pplunkett/dajtpbwfmf7x/wish/264682592 Truth Is...by Alessandria Rhines https://padlet.com/pplunkett/dajtpbwfmf7x/wish/264750945 Roman Martinez

Topic/Thematic Concept: Skin Color
Explanation: I like this poem because it goes over the labels of skin, and about how the speaker feels when be called these names. This helps realize you shouldn't think of people as one way or another due to the way they look. I also like the vocabulary she is using during the poem, and the rate she is speaking, like she can slow down the pace or speed it up whenever she wants to to make a diffrent statement.

Topic:  Live life to the fullest, before time runs out
I like this poem because it explains and states how we only have one life to live, and we should live it with our hopes and dreams. We shouldn't be regretting what we have done in life. We should be regretting what we haven't done. We should be living out, taking risk, and going after our dreams. If we don't, then we will regret until the end. We shouldn't be trying to create a brand new begining, we should be trying to create a brand new ending. ]]> 2018-05-31 12:50:55 UTC https://padlet.com/pplunkett/dajtpbwfmf7x/wish/264771025
