The adventures of Todd and Viola continue and heighten the farther I read into this novel. In this section, Todd and Viola have finally reunited and assented to run away. Unfortunately, they’re caught by the Mayor and sent back with Todd receiving a beating as punishment. Bombs have been set off all over town and Corrine helped Viola escape. I will be clarifying The Answer, Predict how Violas journey will go, and visualize the bombs in the city.

The Answer is a rebel group of mostly women against the Mayor. The Mistress healers are leaders in the group. Many women disappeared during the night, leaving behind some patients, Viola, and an apprentice named Corrine. Bombs had been placed all over town in inactive areas.

The Mayor will most likely notice her absence soon and send a small army after her. I think that she will be facing many difficulties because of these

The majority of “The Possibilities of Invention,” by Cathy Song is written in a very straightforward, first-person style. Events are described with a dash of personal bias, as expected for a first-person poem written in this style. This is seen in further depth in lines 9-15, where the speaker is telling us of the teenage hierarchy, and how damaging it can be when “petty dictators demand conformity even from the lowliest worm burrowed in books.” In this case, the lowliest worm is a metaphor representing individuals who are outside of a particular social group, and do not “conform” to the status quo. Throughout this poem, there are similar messages written between the lines, statements aimed at an unforgiving society.

Viola and Todd’s lives are constantly being flipped and turned with every move they make. During Viola’s escape from New Prentisstown she was almost blown up in another one of The Answers bombs.

Now Viola is stuck in the camp of The Answer with, ironically, nobody giving her any answers to her questions. Todd isn’t fairing too well either.

Sarah Kay seemed not to be completely engaging because her poems were confusing. She defined what poetry is to her, and she explained her past with poetry and what she is doing now to give everyone else the opportunities to discover poetry like she did in high school.

The poem “A Story” by Li-Young Lee depicts the complex relationship between a boy and his father when the boy asks his father for a story and he can’t come up with one. When you’re a parent your main focus is to make your child happy and to meet all the expectations your child meets. When you come to realize a certain expectation can’t satisfy the person you love your reaction should automatically be to question what would happen if you never end up satisfying them. When the father does this he realizes the outcome isn’t what he’d hope for. He then finally realizes that he still has time to meet that expectation and he isn’t being rushed.
