Reflection - as I grew older

Reflection:

1.     I enjoyed reading the poem, because I liked the way the poet wrote the poem. He makes the reader read it with an intensity of emotion. Moreover I have enjoyed reading As I Grow Older because I liked the way Hughes uses an un-materialistic timeline to his “Dream” journey. The poem makes you read it with an intensity of emotions, by Hughes’s use of repetitive words, punctuation marks and exclamation points.
Furthermore, the poem is relatable by dealing the subject of changing perspective of the growing human being- innocence, then knowledge of the wrongness, and in the end- acceptance and resolution.
2.     I found the poem encouraging because after all the "walls" that stood in the poet's way, he didn't give up his suppressors and he fought his way to be free.
3.     The skill of Distinguishing Different perspectives adds to my understanding of the poem by understanding the poet writing about his dream from a perspective of a child and how it changed as he grew older.
