You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.” People will always say bad, untrue things about you, give you awful looks, and try to bring you down with their hatefulness towards you but you can’t let things like that get to you, you have to know you're better than that and continue to do you and succeed no matter what people are saying about you.
2.”Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.” There is a lot of bullying going on everywhere, and some people just get satisfaction out of being mean and seeing others broken and upset.

Why are you beset with gloom?
‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room." This can be related to teenagers, especially teenage girls because when a girl becomes confident there will always be people trying to tear them down .
2. "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." This relates to teenagers because there are people out there who will try everything to stop you or terrorize your life. You have to stay strong and brush off what they say or do, and strive to be successful.
3. The author's tone in the poem was full of confidence and being strong. She was expressing that no matter what that she was going to rise, and prove doubters wrong.

Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.
People sometimes are mean to others because they have something wrong with their life and they get pleasure out of bullying people.

Don’t you take it awful hard
‘Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard" and "Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?" The first part relates because some people are very envious of those around them, be it who they are or what they have. The second quote from this relates because if those people that are envious feel strongly enough then they will go as far as tearing others down and bullying them. By saying things such as "You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise." the author develops a strong tone of empowerment and confidence.

"Did you want to see me broken?"
"Shoulders falling down like teardrops"
"Weakened by my soulful cries"
It shows how you should never let anyone bring you down nor hurt you.

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." People will always try to shoot you with your words and give you mean looks but you should always still try and rise above them.

2. "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." Just like people will try and ruin you with lies and make your history different than what actually happened but you should not let it get you down.

3. The authors tone in this story was very empowering because her attitude through out the story lets the reader know that no matter what she goes through she will still always rise.

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*

In the second stanza it speaks of acting like you have all of the wealth in the world. The woman writing this is obviously strong and is trying to assert that, while she may not live in luxury, she has what she deems important in life. In the fourth stanza she asks if this person wanted to see her in utter defeat. She asks if they wanted to see her spirit gone away. In this she is saying she will not be beaten and broken and the person will not have the satisfaction of seeing her give up. These things speak to me because so many times the world wants us to deem money important and wants to see us beaten into submission. It's hard to stand your ground and be strong when the world tells you not to. You see this attitude of being strong throughout the poem as she stands for what she believes in. ]]> 2016-11-03 13:20:11 UTC https://padlet.com/riddlerg/p3zkknjkahjc/wish/135064173 baiileyovercash00 https://padlet.com/riddlerg/p3zkknjkahjc/wish/135190429 2016-11-03 18:09:26 UTC https://padlet.com/riddlerg/p3zkknjkahjc/wish/135190429 Patrick long https://padlet.com/riddlerg/p3zkknjkahjc/wish/135191565 2016-11-03 18:11:57 UTC https://padlet.com/riddlerg/p3zkknjkahjc/wish/135191565 Jacob McComb jacob_mccomb https://padlet.com/riddlerg/p3zkknjkahjc/wish/135195983 Two parts that i think relate to teenagers "does my haughtiness offend you.
