My winner is Choosing Shoes because it made me really think about just how fortunate I am and that other people are not so fortunate. This made me think about all of the homeless people and how I can help them. In my recent trip to London and Paris I saw just how many homeless people there are, I also saw that a lot of them had pets (mostly dogs some cats) and that started to get me thinking about not only when the last time the person ate but the last time that the animal ate. I think this poem can influence a lot of people to help others less fortunate.
ReplyDeleteI cannot connect to this poem because of how fortunate I am. I am guessing that the person who wrote this poem is either the person in the poem or he is writing about someone else. Either way I think this is an inspiring poem.
I love how you can really feel how the person feels when they are choosing shoes and he/she cannot afford the shoes they want. I think that this poem is really inspiring and that this poem is awesome.
I think Choosing Shoes is about how grown ups buy use plain shoes.I agree when it says" flat shoes, fat shoes wipe them on the mat shoes that's the sort they'll buy" because that is true.We never get the shoes we want.
ReplyDeleteI think Roger the dog is about laziness. When it says " asleep he wheezes at his ease. He only wakes up to scratch his fleas" is really lazy.
I chose Choosing shoes as the winner because I like the meaning more.
