responding to two colleagues post

Dimetri Carter explains how myths is a perception and how it explains the things that are unexplained. He read the poem " Hazel Tell LaVerne" which he explains that the frog is trying to become a prince, and the only way he can is by kissing the maid. i agree with him him in the theme being based on true love.
Jaylen explains how myths is a in the poem "Hazel Tell LaVerne" written by Katharyn Howd Machan is revised version of the princess frog. "Myths can be a window into a culture's deepest perceptions about itself because myths attempt to explain what otherwise seems unexplained and i agree with this as while because u can understand the story in different ways.

2 colleagues favorite poems or lyrics

Jahai's favorite lyric is by Tupac. The song was,"The Rose That Grew From Concrete", and that it "is about having ambitions goals and reaching them despite the circumstances and conflicts we are faced". I also have heard this song and I understand why she likes it. It demonstrates how words are very meaning full and can encourage people to keep their heads up, even when times are rough.Songs like "The Rose That Grew From Concrete", gives people motivation & hope, 
Addisons favortie lyric is by Twenty-one Pilots. The song is called "Holding on to you". I love this lyric because it describes how people can change the way the feel about themselves. This particular lyric is very powerful to me because tons of people feel as though their mind "controls" them and that they have no power over what they can and cannot do. i never heard this song before but the way she talks about it i think it should be a good song

theme of your favorite poem !

I believe that the theme of phenomenal woman is how an average woman is still beautiful because of the way she carries herself. Its not because she looks like a model or walks like one. It's because she has soo much confidence and she has a good head on her shoulders. So when she walks around people can see that she is confident, graceful, and that she wont let anything bring down her pride in life. This is why she is so phenomenal.
