Four Poems Celebrating Women, phenomenal women

In this book my favorite out of the four poems was Still I rise. Still i rise was about not getting bring down no matter what. It is because who she is she wont be sad or cry. This is my favorite because it showed the strength we all have and she wont cry for small things either.

Phenomenal Women the main poem in this book is about how she is a mystery and how you can't read her it is that we are different in many ways. This one i thought was very inspiring because it showed how great we really are.

Weekend Glory is about even though she works at a factory all week. On the weekend she lives her own life. This poem showed how we all have our own life and different things to do we just have to make time for it all.

Our Grandmothers was difficult for me to understand really but i found that the words she most used was "I shall not be moved." So I think this poem is about the people she must leave behind and what will happen.

Connections:We can all be strong is what I think she believes and I agree.

Questions: What made the author think of writing "Our Grandmothers"?
