I decided to write about the poem; The Incident. What I notice about this poem is how it is almost written as a story. Its like the poet took a passage from a story and decided to write about it. You don't find people writing poems on that kind of thing.
The poem really describes the characters well and the setting. For example, the poem clearly states how the character had never been a victim of name calling like that. He never really thought anyone would call him that. In the poem it says how the boy never forgot that incident the whole summer. That brief encounter really changed him. I can tell that that he lived in a time period and place where that would really wasn't used by kids. I hate to say it, but now, it seams that, that would is use so much now. And sometimes its not even said to be disrespectful.
Another thing I got was how the two boys were the same age. Even though the author doesn't say directly how old the boy who cursed at the other boy was he still said, "he was not that whit bigger than me."
