Revenge
Shakespeare's message about revenge is that it can end up being your own enemy.When you are looking for revenge, at the end you are hurting yourself by the fact that those bad feeling you have inside it would never let you pass the page to continue your life as a normal person. In other words, revenge is never going to be a solution for a problem. On the other hand, it can cause a fatal tragedy that can led to death. In my opinion, I know it is very hard to accept it and just leave things the way it is but at the end you would be satisfy of your decision. A good example would be the movie Hamlet that at the end he died.
We Real Cool
This is a really good poem that teach young people to become more aware of their action. From my point of view, I think that the author's message about writing this poem" We Real Cool" is that teenager are doing crazy thing without seeing the consequences. They think it's COOL to skip from school , get drunk and try new things as (drugs). They are just hanging out with the wrong people. In addition, the author describes that teenager are just living the present without worrying on their future. To conclude, I can say that this is a great poem to alert teenagers know that they have to start acting more mature because most of these things bring anything good than death.
Ozymandias
I specially like this poem because it gives us a good message about seeing life. This poem by Percy Bysshe was mainly written to let people know that nothing last forever. In the poem there was a sign that catched my attention that says "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings; Looks on My works , ye Mighty, and despair!"There was irony presented in that sentence, because at the end there was nothing left to look at; it wasy destroyed. In my opinion, I like this poem a lot because in reality sometime we think that things last forever, and this is a good example to demonstrate that not always.
Blakes's Lamb and Tyger
In my opinion, in the poem "Lamb and Tyger" the author compare the good and the bad things of life around the society. First of all, William Blake describe two different animals in those two poem, which are the "lamb" and the "tyger". as fearful and dark. Also distinguish as a very dangerous animal. On the other hand, he describe the lamb as something weak and inocent. To conclude, the message I was able to perceive is that the author tried to represent the good and bad side by representing those two animals.
Beauty
I believe that Keats in his lines tried to let the reader know that beauty for him is very important. Beauty is not exactly referring to a people's face instead it can be something else as places, object and art. In Keat's poem he compare truth and beauty. While reading I perceive that beauty means a lot for him. To sum up, the author contemplates that beauty is everywhere. Finally, I found this poem very interesting by the way he expresses himself and the way he describes the concept of beuty .

Mark
Mark is one of the poem I have read that had caught my attention. As i read the poem "Marks" I have to say that I saw the tone to be a bit sarcastic towards the end. A mother doesn't usually say that she will drop out. I believe that its just a way for her to vent out the anger that she has inside of her because she is the "Maid" in the house. She is the one that has to do everything and meet up to everyone's standards. To sum up, I believe we all have to consider our mother because she is the only one who is going to be in our side until the end.
Digging
In this story the author uses descriptive language to exaplain what his parents do for living. In the story "Digging" by Heany, the author use rude words such as gun and pen. Eventhough he admires his family, he didn't want to follow the tradition that they were doing for generations. In addition he is not good at digging, instead he prefer to become a writer. The connotation in this poem was that the same persistence that the author's father puts into digging is the same as the author when he writes. Finally, it was an interesting poem, but really difficult to understand.
