PERIOD3 ROMERO

If i could define the word women in one word i would say extraordinary.
Everyone should take the time out to relize how special "we" really are. when i came across this poem i had to read it. Even though there was somethings about it i didnt really like i got over it,because it was such a interesting poem.

While reading this poem i could connect to it very well, the title,"Women"written by Alice Walker. Being as though i am a women i became attracted to it even more. I think this poem focused on strong women mainly. A reason why i came to this conclusion is because walker quoted "husky of voice and stout of step." After reading this i instantly thought of my grandmother, because she was a strong women who never relied on anyone.

Secondly i didnt really like how random the poem became once i started reading. The poet would jump from one thing to another, not going in any specific order. While i read on i noticed that it didnt ryhme at all. Many of the quotes made since when i looked at them in a different perspective. for example "how they batterd down doors". As soon as i read "batterd" i thought of batter you use to cook food, and since doors was added i thought of strong,because a door can be heavy. So actually two messages came from that one quote.

One thing i really loved abut the poem,is how many images popped up while i read. many of the images showed what women are capable of and some were more imaginary, for instance. "How they lead armies head dragged generals". This showed that not only are women strong in a way but that we can accomplish many things.

never uderestimate us because without women there would be no you.
