Still I Rise

Hi guys,

check out this link (Maya Angelou's Still I Rise)

Any comments? Pretty sassy poem, in the speaker's own words.

Appreciate the sense of pride that this poem brings out and how she uses imagery and playful questions.

The fact that Maya Angelou is an African-American who is going against oppression really forms a heap of inspiration to stand up for freedom. Word usage is also very important. The repeated use of the word 'rise'. Inspirational indeed.

Okay, now I'm not really sure what to write. Don't want to make this seem formal.
