Now it is time to write about some of the poems you’ve read and studied! So far in this unit, you have examined the following works: “The Rainy Day,” “Invictus,” “We Real Cool,” “The Negro Speaks of Rivers,” and “The Mending Wall.” Select two of these works and, in a well-developed response of at least two paragraphs, compare and contrast them. Your response must address the following in each poem:
• at least one element, such as conflict, characterization, or setting
• literary point of view
• at least one literary technique, such as flashback, foreshadowing, dialogue, or word choice
• Poetic structure
Remember to write in complete, grammatically correct sentences and to avoid errors in usage, mechanics, and spelling.
Choose what ever two poems yall want bit i need to bring my grade up 100 points to who answers.

Read the excerpts from “take the tortillas out of your poetry” and “speaking arabic.” my friend had concluded that if he took his language and culture out of his poetry, he stood a better chance of receiving a fellowship. he took out his native language, the poetic patois of our reality, the rich mixture of spanish, english, pachuco and street talk which we know so well. in other words, he took the tortillas out of his poetry, which is to say he took the soul out of his poetry. at a neighborhood fair in texas, somewhere between the german oom-pah sausage stand and the mexican gorditas booth, i overheard a young man say to his friend, “i wish i had a heritage. sometimes i feel—so lonely for one.” and the tall american trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head. which best states how the structures of both excerpts support ideas about cultural diversity? each incorporates non-english words. each incorporates academic words. each incorporates offensive words. each incorporates nonsense words.
