Freaking pop-ups.

Anyhoot, this was a verily cool poem. I had to read "To Kill a Mockingbird" a while ago, and though it wasn't one of my faves, I liked it well enough for a school book. But what poem did you base this on? It got cut off in the summary, and I am interested to see the original. Please? ;-)

But I'm jealous. I had to make a Finch family scrapbook for my "To Kill a Mockingbird" project. It was a pain in the kisser.

Anyhoot, loverly poem!

i've read (and analyzed to hell and back for lit class) lucille clifton's poem as well as tkam...to me, the only thing i didn't like about this is it was almost too close to the format of "miss rosie." i think it was beautifully done but it would have had more impact if i couldn't see the other poem so much in it.

This is a very good poem. It captures a picture of the character very well- I can just imagine her out on her porch right this minute! I like how you repeated 'you were strong', because she definitely was.

The first one was short, yet informative... and the second one was very descriptive and cool! Yay!

Dear Ananda,

Wow!It was interesting, and showed Mrs Dubose in prehaps a negitive light yet I've never read anything or any poem for that matter in that format.

this isnt fair, we had to do a 20 word essay n to kill a mockingbird! wish we could have done poetry. just out of curiosity what mark did you get for it?
