Slide 3
From listening to some of his poems I have realizes that in
school he could play basket ball and that is why his teachers
pasted him on. He also was bullied in school because he did not
have the nicest clothes and playing basketball he could get him and
his family out of the poor part of town.
Slide 4
This spoken word poem about bullying and what happens on both
sides of bulling and what they think.it makes people think well if
they cant afford it than why do I make them feel even worse. I
should be trying to lift them up instead of tiring them down. It is
also about how to deal with bullying and what to do. I chose this
poem because when people pick on me I say in my head they will
never break me. The figurative language use is imagery and
flashback. He uses imagery when he describes the pain he feels and
what he sees. He uses flash backs to tell his story of when he was
bulled. I saw when he said I remember walking down the hall in
school. when he said I can see there hated for me in there eyes I
see an angry face.

repletion in stanza 2 because it tells you what not to do.
