Howl

The Howl is different style of a poems that we have seen so far. The begining of poem is very powerful it starts with 'I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness' The rest of the section is a detailed description of these people specifically, who they were and what they did. it also reminds me of the one of the documentary 'zeitgeist' that i watched. its like trying the awake the people. first asks the question 'who' than 'what' and he questions what have been destroyed.

The Day Lady Died

Honestly when i first read this poem it really didn't make any sense for me. i believe i would never understand until someone explain this to me. actually this poem is starts with a regular day opening and as i go further i began to confused but thank god i found some clues about what was happening.for example Bastille day. after i look at the words the new world writing, in Ghana and after all these i began to put puzzles next to each other than it meant something. however i still find this poem kind of hard because i wouldn't figure out these before we discuss in class.
