There was a lot of confusion about what the writer was trying to get across. Initially, the thought that the poem was referring to herself was a bit
transparent, so immediately the thought was that it was supposed to be a tragic poem. However, after listening to the author read the poem, and did more
research, there was complete surprise. The poem was written to come off as a happy and a very positive poem. As it was mentioned previously, the most
interesting part about this poem is the "We". Gwendolyn is a very enjoyable sounding writer. She has a very strong pronunciation and the age in her voice
helps with the passionate sound of the reading. In conclusion, form, content, and language come together in this literary work to offer a striking emotional
response from its reader. Without each of these specific components, the poem simply wouldn't have the same effect. Form is necessary to provide
structure, content its scene and language its sound and feel. Gwendolyn Brooks has included each ingredient to provide a brief, but strong feeling one way
or another, for the young people of this poem.
