@wynter_aneiya969 4 года назад

I dont get that one

@jaemimi9499 4 года назад

Wynter Wonderland semi-colons (;) are used when the sentence after continues the idea. A period ends the idea to start another one. So the poet is saying that they want their story to continue growing off of what they’ve already lived through instead of seeming like starting over

I WILL NEVER STOP SCREAMING ABOUT HOW PROUD I AM OF THESE TEEN GIRLS TODAY WHO DONT JUST SIT DOWN BUT STAND UP AND DEMAND TO BE HEARD. When i was 17 if I stood up I would be knocked right back down. Fists and words. I'm 25 now and just beginning to find my own voice. I'm behind you. I adore you. Thank you. This made my soul soar.

@layanfiras7539 4 года назад

because we live in a society that thinks teaching teenagers about "la belle dame sans merci" is better than teaching them shit with meaning. shit that could save lives. shit that could be the reason that a woman stands up for herself and demands she is heard. shit that makes the boys in ur class finally realize that no. women are not inferior and they must stop treating them as though they were

In my ELA/ reading class everyone got to play one song or video and I played this, my teacher was so happy that I knew what this was (no one knew, I was sad) she said she was happy that I watched and listened to such meaningful things (everyone played songs about drugs, sex, murder. Ya know all that)
