Three Literary Pieces I Chose:
"Captured by Feministas"
"Dreams"
"We Real Cool"

“Dreams” influences me because the poem sends an important message. In the poem, the first two lines says to hold fast to dreams and for if dreams die, to me those lines mean to have dream about something you should hold on to and not let go, and to hard hard to let that dream come true, because if you don't the dreams will slowly fadd away, or you will forget all about what your dream was and what it was for. For instance, just a couple weeks ago I was in an Orientation Process for an organization and my dream was to finish and make it through my Orientation Process and everyday during my Orientation Process I always remembered that in order to finish my Process and make it through is to remember my dream or goal is to become apart of a great organzation in the end. So i set my mind to it everyday and remember that my dream will come true if I get through this and if i did not a dream that i once had will just die, and today I am part of a great organization. My opinion is that a dream is just like a goal, in order to have a dream come true, you have to put your all into it to make it come true, just like a goal you have to put your all in it to accomplish your goal.

"We Real Cool" influences me because the poem reminds me of when I was in highschool. In the poem Gwendolyn Brooks says "We Left School", and the poem reminds you of kids leaving school probably when they were not suppose to and doing things they were not suppose to either. It reminds me of when I was in Highschool because when i was in HIghschool I had my first car during my freshmen year, which was a big mistake. Having a car Freshmen year, and at the time already not liking to go to school. Me and my friends would show up to school and during lunch we use to leave and skip classes and go wherever we wanted, and did whatever we wanted to do. We did it for one day and it turned out to be an everyweek thing which made our grades loook very ugly.

"The Road Not Taken" in my opinion is about having two decision and you do not know what decision to make or which road to take. this poem influences me because I am always stuck at a decision at every I do. I always take forever at what i have to do because i never know which one to decide on. In the poem it states that Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry i could not travel both. Those lines in the poem reminds me of when it is time for me to make a decision i never know which decision to make, because I am always wondering which decision is the best decision. In the poem it states I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. in my opinion those lines means that in the end the decision you chose is what you chose and what happens happens, whether if it is good or bad. When i finally make my decision sometimes it may be a good decision. If it was a bad decision that I have made, I always learned from it and never to make the same decision again.
