“You’re” by Sylvia Plath

-
Today in AP Lit, we read “You’re” by Sylvia Plath. This poem had a great amount of similes in them, that made me kind of confused at first, but when I decided to re-read it again I found some clarity. I took from the poem that the speaker was talking about a small or unborn child. The similes really gave the poem a mystery, making me even more interested in finding out what it was about.

The relay teams consisted of 40 teams of teenage boys who carried a logbook along the PCT to collect data and write down memories to share among each other. This article also talks about reuniting the YMCA Relay Boys , to talk about their experiences and memories from the Pacific Crest Trail.                                    3 facts I learned from the article 1.
