Classmate Response 2, Week 6

This is in response to Drika's Free Entry for Week 6.
This is really helpful when trying to write a story/ poem about yourself. Another person that is observing will only describe what they see without including the actual feelings of the person they are talking about (unless those feelings help in the telling of the story). It's kind of like "My Father's Love Letters" by Komunyakaa. The poem was in the view point of the child, imagine what the poem would be like if the father was the narrator. I imagine there would be a significant difference in emotion. From the father's point of view we would get more of the sadness and struggle, but from the child we get truth and actual events, from a outside's view. This also helps the story become cinematic and reduces the amount of material in the character's head.
