Dear Mr. Cattanzara,

I'm writing you this letter because I want to thank you. Since you pushed me 10 years ago to improve my education and actually read those 100 books, I have changed. After I improved my education, I found a great job and lately I was promoted to be the vice president of the company. Moreover, I got marry to my wife whom I met at the company and even some of my oldest friends from high school work there. They were surprised to see how successful I have become since I have dropped out from school they thought I did a mistake by dropping out but I have showed them I did succeed  

I will never be able to thank you enough for pushing me to do something useful with my old life

Post reading activity - Introduction to poetry - correction

Post reading activity:

There are contentions between the opinions of how poetry should be taught. In my opinion, poetry should be taught with patience and willing to understand the poem without rushing to get to the meaning of it immediately.

There are people who say poems should be taught at the fast way, to get immediately to the meaning of the literature piece and just study it without actually understanding and connecting to it by ourselves because they don’t have time to teach it properly and the have to finish the whole material pieces.

However, other people say that poems should be taught by getting into the meaning of the poem and understands it in our own way without rushing to get to the end of it. People should actually learn poems not because they have to, but because they want to 

To conclude, I would prefer to read poems and understand their meaning in my own way without rushing to get immediately to its meaning. I want to learn poems because I want to and not because I'm being forced to study it and get to the bottom of it.

Bridging Text And Context

P-54

Langston Hughes was an African – American writer and a poet.  His writing express pride in being black. Hughes was a leading figure in the African – American artistic movement called the Harlem Renaissance. It's members believed that through art, literature and music, African – Americans could challenge racial stereotypes and bring about racial equality and integration. The information is reflected by telling us that the poet was a leading figure in the movement who tried to settle the disputes between the black and white people. Is it reflected in the poem by showing us that the poet is black and he says to all the black people that they can achieve their dreams, because he did do that and achieve his dream by smashing the wall.

It helped me understand better the poem by understanding that the poet's writing expressed pride in black people which shows us when he chooses to use his dark hands to break the wall that is blocking him from his dream.
