Respond to the following quote:
"I've thought about it a lot lately and I've got it figured out. There's four kind of folks in the world. There's the ordinary kind like us and the neighbors, there's the kind like the Cunninghams out in the woods, the kind like the Ewells down at the dump, and the Negroes," (p 226).

7th Grade "Hope" poems
For Friday, 11/7, complete the first drafts of your "Hope" poems. These poems, inspired by Dickinson's "Hope is the Thing With Feathers," needs to present a metaphor in its opening line that will continue throughout the poem. In the Dickinson poem she likens hope to a bird and then uses the rest of the poem to explain the different ways hope is like a bird.
Your poem needs to begin with the line, "Hope is a ________________." Also, think about Dickinson's use of meter and rhyme scheme. There is a clear rhythm to her poem, almost a singsong quality. See if you can capture that as well.
Draft due Friday, 11/7
