HASKETT!!! and anyone who felt Kyle's poem not a good subject
So I forgot my password to this account and it sucked getting in to do this blog. But anyways on another note. I hecka liked Kyle's poem today in class. Personally I don't understand why everyone thinks Haskett wouldn't let him read it. Our class is about self expression and saying whats on our minds, it's about finding a voice when no one wants to let you talk. Why on earth would Haskett stifle when she's the one who taught us it? His poem isn't bad or inappropriate. It shows the side of drugs that few see when they first start out and that's what our audience needs to realize. That we're not just a bunch of teenagers making up problems but that we have real issues and this class lets us talk about them freely. If someone doesn't like it than to bad. Writing isn't about making everyone pleased with you its about saying what you believe. People who don't like that just shouldn't ever read. Haskett please don't shoot down Kyle's poem. It's not a out of line subject it's just raw truth that most people don't care to hear. If we don't tell it though, who will?

Although I was surprised that kyles poem wasnt as bad as he started off saying it was, the class isnt just about writing about what you feel or whats on your mind. its about finding new and creative ways of writing things. Kyles poem is good, i agree I think people were just tired of the whole drug thing that they didnt really want to give it a change, i know thats how i felt.
ReplyDeletei agree, people shouldnt be discriminated on what they write about. everyone has their own tastes, one might not exactly agree with what another has to say, but they still deserve a voice as well as any other person. like the womens movement, men didnt wanna hear about women wanting roles in society, but the women didnt care. they had to keep talking to get what they deserved, freedom of discrimination!
