Sarah Kay: If I should have a
daughter ...

below to view a performance by spoken poetry artist Sarah Kay.
After viewing the video, choose one phrase/section that you
really like and comment on how Sarah Kay manipulates language to make the
content aesthetically pleasing. In other
words, what does she say that “moves” you and how does she say it? Think in terms of every literary device you
have every learned.
One thing you might want to focus on is how she uses
allusions (A Reference to Something Historical, Cultural, Biblical, or Mythical). An allusion is a literary device that also
appears within essays and speeches.
Because you have so many reading and writing assignments this
week, you do not need to comment on what your peers say unless you would like
to send them a message.
Your response is due by
Sunday, September 2nd at Midnight.
