Poetry Out Loud

I am doing the poem Barter by Sara Teasdale for the Poetry Out Loud competition in the classroom. I chose it because i sang it once before and it was my favorite song then. I didn't really think about what it meant but now that i realize it is a poem and that i am reading in front of the class i know what it means now and i really love it. It tells how lovely life is!
I am glad that i chose this poem because it reminds me of when i sang it in middle school. I am excited to read it for the competition! :)

this book changed my life

This book didn't really change my life but it did help me look at books differently. I think about the people and how they are feeling. I put my self in their shoes like when Atticus told the children "you will never understand someone until you stand in his shoes". I also think about how not to judge someone until you actually get to know them Like when the city of Maycomb judged the Radleys when they didn't really know them. Boo is really a good guy!
