My partners were Cora and Emmi. I read Cora's color story, Old Farmer Red’s apple orchard, Complimentary Coral, and Danger Zone. I read Emmi's Feeling Yellow, Believe and
I really liked Cora's Complimentary Coral poem, as I feel like it can grow into much more than just a poem. I feel like it can easily be written into a full story. I feel like the person who is sitting at the beach longs for something else, and finds solitude at the ocean. Perhaps he/she is from the ocean, and wishes to return, but can't? But these are just my interpertations, and what I want this poem to grow into.
I loved Emmi's Believe story, as I think it clearly captures a teenager's fears, fruitless attempts, and struggles. I understand these feelings, these feelings of helplessness, of trying to please everyone and attempting to find something you don't even know what it is. It's very deep and somewhat saddening.
Thank you for taking the time to offer your classmates some thoughtful feedback!
