Small but mighty

One of the things I have enjoyed in this course, has been reading many different types of literature. The pod concept allowing for many choices has been great and the chosen stories, etc I have read have been great. Whether the chosen piece was small or large, it has been interesting to read and analyze the content of each writing. In literature, size really does not matter as a short writing such as "We real cool" has considerable power and meaning. I have enjoyed doing some additional on line research for each writing and to discover things such as the recording of Brooks as she read this poem and allowed her voice to emphasize how she felt as she wrote. My mind drifted as I thought how easy it is to drive by a location and to observe a person or group and make a judgment on what they may be doing or how they look. It is interesting how quick sometimes we are to formulate an impression when really our perception may be flawed. "We real cool" is a good literary example of a small but mighty writing.
