Today in class we read a poem and then compared it to another poem that was modeled after that poem. Then we were chosen to create our version of that poem by comparing the two and using similar word. The two poems were very different but I noticed that the common theme was a culture or ethnicity was writing about how they are treated and how they are different and are looked down on. These poems made me think that if all the people in one way or another felt mistreated than why would they treat others who they believe are less than them bad as well. I believe that if you know what its like to be treated badly that you would show more compassion towards others.
