ENGL 2027 Lecture 9: typed response 9 and 10 examples
Document Summary
Typed response 9: the state: the poem is written in paragraph format instead of typical stanza format. This may be a reference to pause and think about what the author is saying: descriptive paragraph, although the poem is brief and seems very fast-paced, we can see how the title. The state directly relates to the emotional/mental state of the author. She discusses how we wish things could change, leading me to believe she has experienced something saddening or regretful that she wishes she could go back to. This leads into the idea of her leaving promises behind. To me, it almost feels as if she is going through a loss and is now in the state where you have to recuperate, even if you aren"t satisfied with the answers. I also believe she could"ve left someone behind, and wishes she could get them back.
