We have been reading Kettle Bottom and discussing the different poems. For this week's blog, choose one of the pieces we have read and discussed and write an analysis of the poem.
In writing your analysis, be sure to explain who the speaker is and how the speaker helps to provide insight into this world. You will also want to create a question you think the poem tries to answer in order to ascertain the theme. Be sure to include quotes from the poem to reinforce your analysis.

Barriers
Each of us comes from different families and with this comes the knowledge that our view of the world is different. Because it is human nature to experience the world and see the world through our own eyes, it is crucial to be able to navigate it in such a way that we are able to meet our goals.
With this knowledge, it requires us to identify our own barriers. What will be placed in front of us not to block entirely, but to make us work harder? What are the road blocks, the full stops, and the free passes?
For example: I wear glasses. This means that I cannot do certain jobs, but there are many other jobs I could choose from. Some other barriers that we have are because we choose to limit ourselves because of work ethic, perceived inadequacies, etc.
In this week's blog, I want you to write about your own barriers and what they keep you from accomplishing. Then I want you to look at the ones you put into place and think about how you can push beyond the barriers. Once you have written about yourself, I want you to think about a character you have read about this year. Examine their barriers and how those barriers were created, and how those barriers were overcome.
