Sarah,
I really enjoyed reading your peice of writing. I am really eager to know more about the line where you said “Who feels thankful to live in an open-minded time, to wake up and have necessities and luxuries, and have autonomy”. I really got me thinking why you chose your word sense and how you feel thankful to live in an open-minded time. I like that specific line becuase I can realate to how you feel. If you think about how you wrote some of your lines, you might now realize that they are kind of like a run-on sentance. It isn’t a big deal but they defanitly go on a little bit and personally, if that was solved, then this peice of writing would be fantastic. It is so good and I can defanitly picture how your life is, since this is a biography poem. Thank you for sharing your poem!
