Ethan's Poem: 2 for 1
2 for 1
2 for 1
2 for 1 like candy at walgreens
2 like the 2 boys who had to be adopted before they were your kids
And 2
The age where words hurt the same as blows from a ufc fighter
And 2
Became 1
Forever
And now it got to a place
A place 12 years in the making
A place where u cant even be on the same bench at our baseball games
Your 2 opposites
Naruto and sasuke, vash and knives
And like them
I hope
You can at least be friends
Not real close
But it wouldn't hurt to try
Try to not throw shade
So in the end we could be a family
And i could stop being sad
Beause

Deletethis poem dosent make sense because i dont know if you are talking about our moms or me and you.
ReplyDeleteI like how u mentioned anime cause like im a weaboo [not really] and I like how you wrote about your mom because of your races and i just think its really cool. Nice job =)
ReplyDeleteEthan, your poem was really good. You showed a lot of your culture and who you are in it. I think you did a really good job presenting it, and you did a good job with putting in figurative language. Overall, great job!
ReplyDeleteThe poem was personal and unique and also compared to most of the people's in the class it wasn't as formal and very lighthearted.
ReplyDeletewow that was really good Ethan everything about this screamed ETHAN i love it it had so much of everything amazing job Ethan
ReplyDeleteThis was a good poem. I do not watch anime, but I can imagine it was a really good reference. The rhyme and rhythm was good, along with the final j cole line, nice work Ethan!
ReplyDeleteYour poem was good. You let us in on the part of your life where you feel divide because your parents are divorced. Good job you seemed very confident in your work.
ReplyDeleteEthan, your poem is amazing! I liked how you used lots of description and relating your poem to real life and struggles a person goes through when wanting to enjoy a pure and happy life. I also liked how you used the quote at the end to sell your poem off. Overall, great job!
ReplyDeleteI loved this poem. I loved how you broke down the racial barriers and asked for something more. You picture really brought the whole thing together and I am seriously making that my wall paper on my ipod. I liked how you were talking to somebody in this poem, rather than just expressing. Good job.
ReplyDeleteNice poem! I like how the poem uses your theme in so many ways to describe your point. The choice of picture ties the poem together really well. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI was really interested in the different uses of two in the poem, and about if/how these related to your personal experiences--Were you adopted? In the bleacher part, are you referring to your parents? I like the j cole quote at the end, the ways you incorporated your personal interests, and the story you told through the poem.
ReplyDeleteI thought your poem was really creative and I liked how you added things that you liked into your poem, such as anime and UFC. I was kind of confused if you were talking about your family or friends, but overall, great poem!
ReplyDeleteThis was a really great poem! I liked how you put emphasis into 2, and I like how you shared your story. I really liked how this is a shorter poem, and it is easier to grab on to every word. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI like your poem and how you talked about something you don't usually bring up. This showed a side of you I didn't really know about before. I also like how you had references to things you like, like anime and ufc, and I liked how you finished it with that quote. I also liked the quote because you didn't really show this side of you before which goes along with the idea of pretending it doesn't hurt. Really great job Ethan!
ReplyDeleteThis poem was clearly a poem by ethan it was sort of all over the place and I know from knowing you your obsessed with anime so some of those lines were definetly from you although I do not know if you are talking about you and Eli or your parents
ReplyDeleteEthan even though you are always being silly this poem really showed a deeper side to you. I can tell that you have been through hard times which have made you unhappy. You really expressed your personality via the references to things you like. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThis poem is confusing. I dont really understand what you are trying to get at.
ReplyDeletethis poem was a good poem because it showed what 2 for 1 is and how it can relate to reality. i like the similies in the begining of the poem what you were comparing what 2 for 1 is.
ReplyDeleteI liked your poem a lot. I liked it because you talked about something you do not usually do and how you referenced things you loved and what you loved doing. I liked how your poem was much lighter than others it was something needed.
ReplyDeleteEthan, this poem showed a different side to you and even though I didn't completely understand your poem, I could tell that it was something personal to you. When you say 2 for 1 are you referring to you and your brother? Your performance was very entertaining and funny. I like the repetition of the idea "2 for 1" even though I don't know exactly what it means. Great Job!
ReplyDeleteEthan, this poem is a little confusing, but I still like it because it is definitely something to think about. I like how you made the title of your poem "2 for 1" and that idea was presented throughout the whole poem, so you did a good job. Thanks for giving us background information.
ReplyDeletethis poem is really good and shows how your life is being effected by certain things and that you just want it to end.
ReplyDeleteWow, I love you ended the poem, because that quote summed up what you needed to say perfectly. I really liked the tittle and can tell how much emotion you put into this. I have not really seen this side of you before, so thank you for sharing this with the class, great job!
