Poetry Response Journal Bronx Masquerade


I think that Wesley and Tyrone are very difference.

Wesley is more concerning about his education because he went in front of his class and actually read his poem even though that no one would listen to his poem. He is a good reporter too because he related newspaper events in his poem. Wesley is really concern about those violence in the black neighborhood. The way is written his poem is a little bit with hatred, but it likes these violence don't make less strong about his dream. She feels more strong because he marks Dream Deferred as a strong impact in his life to some day being someone.

In the other hands, Tyrone is a boy who is hurt by his own experience and what is happened around him. The abysmal impact of his life is the death of his father. He really doesn't care about education and I understand. As 2pac, he was a rapper who some of his musics were sing with so much hatred to white people. However, he always hoped that one day everything would be different. However, in Tyrone's case is not the same. I think that he think going to school and listen to white teacher who verbalize him is more wrong. Even his poem shows that. He said what he has in his heart despite it could hurt the feeling of people is talking about. Moreover, Tyrone thinks that have an education is to be as white people. And that is not a good example for him because it is white people who have destroyed his life by stalking his beloved father away from him.
