“The heavens sense our burden:
the threat of future downpours I carry on my back.
We are drunk on wine vinegar.
The nearing storm rouses me,
it makes me want to shake the world.
We are an assembly of misery.
If our hands are bloody,
it is from the blood of our own wounds.
The grotesque scars
we bear on our bodies
testify to battles fought
that went unrecognized.
But the next storm will unfurl our flag
and uproot the rotted trees!
Then we, together with the gusting wind,
will scale Spilberk's heights,
and stand in victory on the peaks of cliffs,
our hair blowing freely in the wind.”

The first thing I want to say is that your butterfly looks beautiful and it easily connects to "The Storm." I can tell that you analyzed the poem thoroughly and that you were able to take out the true meaning behind a particular phrase. If we take for example "the heavens sensed our burdens" it shows the reader how their adversities were sensed from every corner of the universe including other dimensions. I enjoyed how you were able to pick out the most important features of the poem in order to create a theme for your butterfly representation of "Storm". The facts for the Terezin concentration camp were to the point and included the most important details. Great Butterfly Project.

DeleteGreat job. I like how you included the storm in your butterfly but did not illustrate your poem. I also like how you put a quote from your poem on your butterfly. I also liked how you described how the tone changed thru out the poem. You do a great job describing the tone of your poem and connecting it to your butterfly. I also thought that it was very cool that you had an opening door on your butterfly that symbolized the escape from the camp to freedom. I also like that you explain that the clouds are different colors because you ran out of ink not because of the poem. That clears up some confusion. Great butterfly!
ReplyDeleteI like that you made it visually clear on your butterfly that the clouds in your poem represented the Nazis. The visual alone makes it easy to interpret the meaning of the poem acurately, I think you did a very good job representing it. The cut out with the last line was an extremely clever and unique idea also!
