"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities." -Dr. Seuss

The sloth in Harlem
The poem the sloth I thought was a great poem. I liked its rhyming scheme, and its structure, although I do not understand all of the poems figurative meanings, this poem is an awesome poem. As I read this poem images of sloths in there natural habitat came to mind, and then I thought of the sin sloth. This poem made me think about it. I was stuck rereading and rereading it to try to figure it out. I don't know this poem is one of my favorite poems that we have read this year. Other poems have either confused me or I just wanted them to be over. Although Harlem was a pretty good poem, with an awe inspiring figurative meaning showing what life was like in the early twentieth century when discrimination was still a big deal. These are the two poems that I really like Harlem, and the sloth, they both seem to be something, and everytime you read the poem it has a different mean, which gives each of the poems more power. This year the poems have not been as bad as before, but still the sloth and Harlem are the two poems that I really liked.
