   3. Yes, especially when I have a passion for something or if I’m joining like, a big game or competition, inspirational saying/poems like these help encourage me
ON THE TWO PIECES
  1. The two poems talk something deep about LIFE. They try to stay on the positive side of things, but they are different because "O ME! O LIFE!" Starts as a negative poem, then ends with a positive
  2. I can describe poetry as “Inspirational” and/or “Has a bigger meaning”
  3. It could inspire me to continue doing what I love, especially with "THE PARADOX", and the poem "O ME! O LIFE!" can inspire me to be proactive for Grade 8
