Hello, everyone!

Such a powerful class today. Thank you for creating a space that makes sharing a bit easier for all of us.

For Wednesday, please:
1. Reread the poem, "A Puerto Rican Girl's Sentimental Education" by Johanna Vega. Answer the following questions:
a) What is the poem mostly about?
b) What poetic devices do you see? How do they make the poem stronger and clearer?

2. Find at least 1 example of each of the following in the above poem:
a) simile
b) metaphor
c) imagery
d) personification

I can't say it enough-- you are a wonderful class and a joy to teach. Don't forget to post your poems (Teresa, I am talking to you too!)

See you on Wednesday!
Karen
