How do both titles affect her life? Answer in complete sentences and cite from the article.

She was encouraged by members of her religion and she uses poetry to express that. "The Tenth Muse fared better with critics and the public than Anne expected (later even the learned Puritan minster Cotton Mather praised her work), and she felt encouraged to write for the rest of her life."

Choose one line from your AoW that you agree or disagree with regarding poetry. Give a brief description of why you agree or disagree with the author.

"Through poetry, children find freedom to share their story in a way that feels good and is true to their own deepest selves." I don't think they worded that sentence the right way because they said children in general instead of saying like some children.

Answer the following on your Padlet post: 
  1. How does the article you chose relate to the story "The Wretched and the Beautiful"? I feel like it is the same because the ugly ones get killed more often just because they are ugly.
  2. What findings in the article are similar to those in the story? Cite a piece of evidence from the article to support your answer.  "the results confirmed their hypothesis. As shown in this graph, the moral standing scores of the seven beautiful animals were higher than the scores of the seven “ugly” animals, even though the two groups were the same in their perceived intelligence or ability to feel pain and the degree they were harmful to humans."
  3. In your own experience, are the article's findings accurate? Have you ever experienced or witnessed what the article discusses? I definitely have seen some ugly animals and I have been more afraid of them as if I were to see an animal that looked cute.
