I love you Jennnnnaaaayy.

So, how many of you guys can relate to the way that Dave felt in this story. I know I can, I always felt I was more mature than I really was. Though I never killed my employers mule, I know I did some dumb stuff back in the day. Dave felt that he was ready to become a man, and hold some power that a man would hold. Like any BOY would do, he misjudged what he could handle. Then he decides to run away, which, will never lead him anywhere different than where he is at currently. Not acknowledgeding that he was still a boy will lead to him never actually maturing. Its like the old saying, we learn from our mistakes, its what makes us better, what helps us grow into more mature individuals. But I would have to say, in many ways many of us can relate to this story, maybe not the settings, but the main plot behind it all seems to be universal.

Lastly, I would like to say that I really enjoyed listening to the poetry from Maya Angelou, the way she presented it was different than anyway I had ever recieved poetry. The words that were once confusing made complete sense, and I feel that this will help me when reading more poetry. Have a good week everyone, theres only a few left!
