Aaron Straker
My boy Aaron is always layin' it down, but his response to Please Don't Take My Air Jordans was just downright astounding. I like his opinions on the main character. You can easily tell that he put a lot of thought into the poem. He covers everything that has to do with the poem, from the rhyme scheme to relating it to the real world, for both himself (personal connection) and just in general. Nice job, big boy. P.S. Get on my "Bless You" level. GAMH
Anna Duke
Anna's response to My Papa's Waltz was really good. She was able to really read into the poem. I like how she tells the reader about her personal experience with the poem, and the whole story about how her opinion of the poem itself changed over time. That's something I can't do very well, so kudos to her for being able to do that consistently in all of her posts.
Tomin Pereachamblee
Before I start, I'd just like to say I spelled Tomin's last name without looking. That's an accomplishment.
Anyway, Tomin is just an overall amazing writer, both in and outside of the blogs. His vocabulary seems infinite, and his ideas and opinions are almost never able to be argued. It was hard picking just one of his responses, but I decided on his Please Don't Take My Air Jordans response. He really, really read into this. Unlike many other people, he expressed his dislike for the poem. I found this to be really unique. Not many people do this very often. He talked about all the aspects of the poem, and didn't miss anything. Nice job, Tomin.
