She talked about this country and how we need to come together. They might have her at the inauguration to get a point across in a different type of way.

I wonder what went on through her head when writing this. Did she feel happy or empowered? Her language and her comparison that she uses really stands out to me.]]> 2021-03-12 14:21:08 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/vmle0iabzk9334vb/wish/1302635305 https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/vmle0iabzk9334vb/wish/1302636571 One of the things I noticed while she was reading the poem was her change in pace. Sometimes she would be speaking slowly, and other times she would go from idea to idea at a fast pace, which helps pull the audience in. I they have poets speak at inaugurations because poetry has the power to inspire and call for change or action.]]> 2021-03-12 14:21:25 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/vmle0iabzk9334vb/wish/1302636571 21benjasprou https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/vmle0iabzk9334vb/wish/1302653626 I noticed that she uses tone very well and talks with her hands.

She appears to have her poem memorized. She gives of a strong powerful vibe by what she is saying and how she is saying it.

I wonder how it is possible to use your voice so well to convey your words. Something that stood out to me was her bravery and boldness as she spoke, she never stuttered or stopped. I think poet are often chosen to read at inaugurations because they are able to speak and convey deeper meaning than just words, they turn words into bigger statements that bring power to their speeches. ]]> 2021-03-12 14:27:32 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/vmle0iabzk9334vb/wish/1302665424 https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/vmle0iabzk9334vb/wish/1302672554 You could tell that she was really into what she was reciting. The passion that flowed through her, she couldn't contain it. Her arms moved as she spoke with such conviction. Several lines stood out to me. a "nation that isn't broken 
but simply unfinished"
I think that these lines are powerful because sometimes it can seem like we are failing, but in reality we just aren't at the finish line yet]]> 2021-03-12 14:29:09 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/vmle0iabzk9334vb/wish/1302672554 21brookrobin https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/vmle0iabzk9334vb/wish/1302678395 I noticed how passionate she was about unity. She spoke a lot about how our nation should join together and move forward past our struggles. I wonder how long it took her to write the poem. Her reciting regions of the nation stood out to me because she addressed each and every person in the nation in this poem. Poets are very passionate and are great at making people feel emotions. Therefore, poets would be chosen to speak at an inauguration to inspire all the people watching. ]]> 2021-03-12 14:30:25 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/vmle0iabzk9334vb/wish/1302678395 21erinhaus https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/vmle0iabzk9334vb/wish/1302678764 I noticed that she is very passionate about this country and the potential that we have. I wonder how her own words inspire her. What stood out to me was when she pointed out the different regions of the United States. The line that stood out to me the most was"If only we're brave enough to be it." I think that poets and speakers come to inaugurations to inspire people for a new chapter. ]]> 2021-03-12 14:30:30 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/vmle0iabzk9334vb/wish/1302678764 https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/vmle0iabzk9334vb/wish/1302679892 I noticed that she was so passionate about the things she was talking about and how she would clearly emphasize specific words or phrases.
