6. Was Margaret Atwood's first poem a good one? How does she describe it?
17. When Maya Angelou mentions people "arriving on a nightmare, praying for a dream," what do you think she is talking about? What images from history come to mind?
18. "History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived. But if faced with courage, need not be lived again." What do you think Maya Angelou meant by these lines in her poem?
19. "The rock, the river, the tree" are a framing image throughout the entire poem. Did you find them effective? Why or why not?
