@cmoglesb I think insecure people tend to blame others for their performance or actions #IntPoe14

[Jay Graham @JayyGraham1]

"Bring all your materials to class Tuesday" *hint hint* *dont forget *wild card #IntPoe14

[Jay Graham @JayyGraham1]

The poem is strange but interesting . It's good to see how most of us relate things to better understand his approach to sex #IntPoe14

[Leah Newnam @leahnewnam_UNCG]

Rochester has a diff view of sex, he sees it as a spiritual warfare- kind of how the bible depicts sex outside of wedlock. #IntPoe14

[Jay Graham @JayyGraham1]

It better hints at this sort of "imperfect"enjoyment he's explaining,the transitioning tone helps as well #IntPoe14 https://t.co/K8Nffvo9PO

[Jay Graham @JayyGraham1]

I think the enjoyment is the sex or connectivity itself , and he lacks things causing a bad performance #IntPoe14 https://t.co/xoT9e8ZEKn

[Jay Graham @JayyGraham1]

Yea there's definitely a transition from positive to a negative tone . #IntPoe14 https://t.co/5vnsm6w6QN

[Toni Outlaw @ToniOutlawEng]

Does anybody notice a shift in tone in Rochester's poem? 🤔 #IntPoe14

[Jay Graham @JayyGraham1]

I think that's great we got the same idea. I totally agree . https://t.co/XvRgFUdhFw

[B. Davenport @bsdavenp]

@JayyGraham1 I think they are still 7 because death doesn't dismiss or erase their bonds and their attachments to one another. #IntPoe13

[Jay Graham @JayyGraham1]

Agree ,she seems to know much more about death than he really thought ,but she's handle it with such care #IntPoe13 https://t.co/xmrXtDKJCo

[Shanaye Jones @jones_shanaye]

In "We Are Seven", the little girl shows how death can be a heavy situation turned simplistic and light. #IntPoe13

[Jay Graham @JayyGraham1]

Yes . I'll always consider and remember anyone very close to me especially a sibling . #IntPoe13 . Even @ her age https://t.co/7MFPkJblXQ

[Leah Newnam @leahnewnam_UNCG]

If your sibling passed away, would you still consider them your sibling? The speaker in "We are seven" seems to think otherwise #IntPoe13

[Jay Graham @JayyGraham1]

"Why are they still seven" ? (To you guys as readers) #IntPoe13

[Jay Graham @JayyGraham1]

even describing the things she did , how she did them and her remembrance of them alone as such a young girl amazes me #Intpoe13

[Jay Graham @JayyGraham1]

Wordsworth did a grand job w/ creating imagery, can actually see the graves,colors ,weather ,etc giving to the childhood of her #Intpoe13

[Jay Graham @JayyGraham1]

Indeed .innocence help me understand the thoughtfulness behind this young girl still visiting her siblings #Intpoe13 https://t.co/kKKW4HSwUE

[Bridgette Mitchell @bridgey_midgeyy]

When reading "We are Seven" did innocence take a majority approach to your understanding of the poem? #IntPoe13

[Jay Graham @JayyGraham1]

An elegy seems like a great way to cope whether it's negative or maybe a much softer tone . either way is to reminisce and cope. #Intpoe12

[Jay Graham @JayyGraham1]

Clare does very well using symbols such as colors , seasons. What does this create for the poem itself ? #Intpoe12

[Jay Graham @JayyGraham1]

@b_curry2018 both have sort of a celebratory tone, their kids died early age yet they seem to find peace that their sons are free #Intpoe12

[Jay Graham @JayyGraham1]

@CMatey_UNCG any type of poem can help a person express & possibly cope. Id write to glue that seemed to keep my fam together #Intpoe12

[Jay Graham @JayyGraham1]

Both. Doesnt have an overall negative tone & the last stanza says his soul is free seems like celebration #Intpoe12 https://t.co/IyainWS5b6

[Justin Jordan @JustinJordaneng]

is The Dying child about grieving the boys death or celebrating his life? #intpoe12

[Jay Graham @JayyGraham1]

How does the two poems for today present death/loss in similar ways ? Different ways ? #Intpoe11
