            I chose this poem because this person in the poem is talking about imagination and if she has it. I thought it was smart writing about the years gone by and you get boring and boring that's true about this in life this happens face it we are getting old slowly. But forget the past and look to the future. Make life fun don't waste it on T.V. This poem inspired me to live my life better like water slide, Go biking and so much more  you don't  need money to live your life. What I saw in this poem was me getting older as fast as lighting in front of a mirror looking at myself. Like 1 year old growing to 12 years old to see how I grown and grown my imagination.






            All those adventures with your friends in the backyard past now where into video games and T.V. Get a life people or at least play outside a little. This entire book changed my life never to generalize people for who they are. When I read this book I hear, fell, touch, smell,and see like a kid being bullied. Because of my skin color and because i'm different. This book feels alive to me. I had this happen to me before because a kid at are school was black well guess what the entire class thought he was stupid because of his skin color and had a the name Anthony. But at the end he became the smartest person in the class. I made friends with him i'm not sure about the rest of the class. This book had alot of connection's to me and loved it but didn't get it at the start.
