Poetry vs. Prose

The article was boring and was easy to read. The article was about the Birmingham March. Many African Americans wanted to be free of the caucasian race. They wanted to be able to do what they felt like doing without being told what not to do it.

The poem was easier to understand because it had rhyming and was more interesting. The poem caught my attention more because it had rhyming and as a child I can relate to how a mother would react.

The poem was more interesting than the article because the first stanza was what had gotten my attention and the rhyming got me even more interested. The article had gotten me bored while I was reading it. The poem has more of a rhythm to it which gets a reader's attention.

In the poem of Booker T and W.E.B, they were arguing about what all African Americans should do, either go to school or develop a new skill. Booker T wants the African Americans to have freedom while W.E.B wants them to do the opposite of what Booker T wants. Booker T and W.E.B both hoped that their plans would work. But Booker T wants them to do what ever they want while W.E.B wants them to listen and do as they are told.
