Sara Teasdale wrote this poem because she felt that she could not attract a man’s love. It shows how she wants to tell her lover she likes him but she cannot. She was jealous of girls who were brave enough to flaunt their sexuality to guys without caring about the consequences. We often see guys as aggressive in this society but she was jealous of the girls who would take the first step.
I had a great time on this project. It gave me the opportunity to showcase my poem in my viewpoint. I had first hands on experience in editing a video, cutting scenes, filming to depict my thesis. I loved creating dialogues, re-taking some scenes and adding music to combine them. I believe part of this enjoyment was due to my poem because I fell in love with my poem from the beginning. I believe it had such a good thesis and it is a poem that I could have taken it so many different ways. I think this was such a great opportunity to showcase our creativity. At first, I was camera shy, but then I was like “screw this,” I decided I wanted to be in the video.
