Maya Angelou

Today in AP Lit, we read Still I Rise by Maya Angelou. The poem was very inspiring. It teaches people to continue to rise, no matter what life throws at you. Also, seeing her perform the poem, made the poem even more inspiring, because is was as if she was expressing herself. I am very much excited to read more of the great Maya Angelou’s Poems.
