The difference that I found in your video can also go along with the thing that hit home for me. The alienation felt by the woman in the story must have been incredibly painful. Being called the N word is something an African-American should never be called. The difference is that I did not know that alienation was a characteristic of modernism, but it being a characteristic, in my story there was no alienation. The river and the man in mine were together.
My story was much different than this one. This one has a woman remember the worst thing that happened in Baltimore, while in mine the boy remembers the best things. I can't really relate to this because there is no term for a white person that carries as much weight as the N word for black people.
Our poems are different because the main character in yours if African American, and she is talking about what life was like growing up in a world where she was discriminated against. My poem deals with a little girl who goes through depression, but there could be a similarity if you looked at the internal struggles that both of our characters dealt with. Even though our poems show different sides of Modernism, I think it's interesting that we can still find similarities!
In your analysis you talked about what modernism is and brought up something I did not think of. You said that wars are a main resource for Modernism writings and they are. Our poems are different because mine is about two pears and a description of them while yours is about what sounds like a dispute between two people over a racial issue. You brought up some good points on how yours relates to modernism which I enjoyed reading
Our poems are different because yours is about a young African American girl that is talking about her life growing up in the time period where African Americans were discriminated. Mine is about a town that is just living life and nothing ever changes in it. Where they are similar is because a young man in my poem is discriminated because everyone in the town thinks he is different and therefore not a lot of people in the town like him. I think that when I first read your poem it was truly sad about what those people went through just for the color of their skin and what they looked like.
One thing that stuck out to me was the way African Americans were treated in Baltimore. Our poems were different because mine did not deal with racial prejudice.
Our poems were similar in subject. They were both about how African Americans were treated poorly. However, your poem was a woman recalling an incident that happened to her, and my poem does not speak to any incidents in particular, but relates to racism as a whole. Yours is in story format, and mine is a poem that is like a motivational speech.
