Gwendolyn Brooks – We Real Cool

1) What emotions/feelings do you have after reading the poem?

Music, noise, happiness, special memories, and smiles came to my mind.

2) How does your chosen image reflect the emotions conjured by the poem?

This image is representing live. We are born as babies, grown and become children, then into adults, but at the end of those stages you will always keep memories that will help you revive special moments. I choose the image because as I read the poem I imagine a woman sitting down remembering all the fun and unique moments she lived.
