I like this passage because it helps me get an understanding of my book, Under the Harrow. The main character in UTH is woman named, Nora who came to visit her sister Rachel, only to find her murdered in her house> Nora then becomes delusion, sad, angry, all the emotions at once. What Wills is saying in this passage about inner monologue, compliments the book because it helps the reader understand Nora. And she believes this can only be accomplished by a Woman.

I thought this was an interesting question to ask. Fiction is well, fiction. It is a concept that isn't real. It is essentially a what the question, what if this were to happen? was a living embodiment. Wills brings up this point and then further continues with an example from a novella.

I like these two stanzas because it shows what women poets had to sacrifice to be able to write their poems. They knew that they would be revered as "Strange Monsters" but still they write to break out of the "prison of consciousness"

I also like the term strange monsters as it's kinda like a oxymoron, but it's powerful. Monsters are already seen as strange creatures, but by adding strange to the equation, it gives the word a deeper depth of meaning.

I believe this line is meant to say if you don't control your emotions and think, then you'll end being the thing you're trying to stop.

This stanza proves that there are other forms of fighting that doesn't involve using your fist. Really nice.

A pretty powerful sentence. It tells you that with every kind person, there is always that one person who can hurt you But you don't want admit it would hurt you. You have to keep a positive face in front others.

I thought this was a pretty powerful sentence. It plays a double meaning in the prose as the author is pregnant and the father is either in war or died in the war. The child reminds her of her hatred for the country the father went to war with and the hatred that she wants to move on but can't because the child is preventing her from doing so.

*May've worded this wrong. Please correct me if so.

This is a pretty interesting line. I believe it's implying that if you are passive aggressive, then you'll never be heard. The author put a funny twist on that for children.

I want to say this about how we're destroying the planet. But to be frank, this poem is a bit confusing. There are some lines that I don't quite understand. Unless this is the point of the poem which I'm sure it isn't.

This could be a symbolism to the how we're killing off nature all for the sake of cosmetic and needs.

Line depicts that the end of the country, the end of humanity, will be nothing other than humanity themselves.

I believe this line is trying to tell us how revolution, change never came. It was on the right track at first, but immediately was thrown off into a chasm.

I thought these lines were interesting. It plays onto the act of not thinking and just doing. We live in a world where we think too much about what we do and what we want to do. While it is necessary to think about certain actions like what is right or wrong or how to move, there are other actions that you should think about and just do it. The bird didn't think the risk that could come from taking a leap, he just did it.

I found this quote interesting. It in a way, shows how many things we're afraid of. How the instant we find something we don't know nothing about, we're immediately scared of it.
