Linage 1. The image I get of the speakers grandmothers were that they were strong women and were very hard working. 2. In line 10 I think the speaker means that her grandmothers don’t cuss or talk down on others. 3. The end makes me think that the speaker of the poem lacks confidence. It made the poem become somewhat sad. Reflection: the poem was interesting, I couldn’t relate to it. It was short and I liked that. The speaker seems like she has issues with self-esteem. The Courage That My Mother Had 1. The image I get from I got was that her mother was a very strong and courageous person and the speaker wants to be the same way 2. Do Not Have To Do. 3. The mixed blessing that the daughter received from her mother†¦show more content†¦2. The clues that helped figure out that the narrow fellow is a snake are when the speaker says â€Å"the grass divides as with a comb† because when a snake slithers through the grass it divides. 3. I think the speaker is scared because he says his breathing tightens. 4. This was the first time meeting the snake, he has met several of nature’s people before but it was his first meeting the narrow fellow. 5. Don’t need to do. 6. I don’t think any poem presents a positive view of the animal, it seems like both speakers are scared. 7. If the speaker had encountered the sharks at noon, she probably would be less scared because she would be able to go back and see them if they were comin g. If the boy had encountered the snake at night he might have been even more scared than he already was, he would’ve probably ran. 8. Didn’t make a chart of responses to animals. Reflection: I couldn’t really tell if the speaker was scared to happy to see the snake because it was his first time. The poem wasn’t really relatable. A Voice 1. When the mother goes to the state capitol to give her speech she got nervous and felt out of place that she faked hoarseness and did not speak. 2. The mother felt self conscious about giving her speech at the state capitol because she looked around and realized she was the only Mexican in the auditorium. 3.
