Reviewing my classmates claims

-
Today in AP Lit, we reviewed our peers claims on the poem “The Last night she lived” by Emily Dickinson. The way I analyzed my poem, I came to a consensus that the poem was about a jealous women envying another women on her death bed. When we reviewed as a class, I later found out that my analysis was wrong, and Mr. Rease made me understand why and how to not make the same mistake the next time I analyze a poem.

My Blackness means everything to me. Being Black means I sometimes get to wear my hair straight or sometimes curly with no troubles. Being Black means my skin glows under every angle from the sun, thanks to "OUR" special gift from the universe. It's called Melanin by the way.
