TRUTH!

Virginia Woolf definitely started a new way of thinking in the post-moderism era. Instead of everything having one answer for everybody, things started to have options. What was right for one person may be right or wrong for another. She couldn't find her capital "T" truths in the books of history. So she realized truth was found in each person, not in a society. Women could have been as big of a success in literature, if they had only been given the opportunity. Instead they were looked at to keep track of the kids and keep the house in order. If they had only had a room and possibility to do anything literature of the past could be completely different.

When I first read the poems I loved the poem by Phyllis Wheatley! It had a lot of amazing imagery and nifty word usage! It was so short but the point of anyone, even the minorities, can be saved and go on the angelic train was present! This was the first poem I read, so I kept thinking about it while I was reading the other ones. So I didn't really look to deep into the other ones. But when it came to talking about the other ones in class the poems "I Still Rise" and "Alone" stood out to me. They both had a cool meaning once I was actually able to analyze them. "I Still Rise" was nifty because she was so confident and just showed us that we can be strong through anything and rise above anything. Then "Alone" was good because it was definitely very true. I would never make it if I didn't have anyone in this world. I am such a people person, I need people to survive. This poem was so true and described me so well.
