My initial response to fiction writing was this is a really great way to convey messages that could be actual events in life. That was my response because of the first poem Survivor that really caught my eye. The poem talks about a real life situation that could occur in a homosexual relationship because of societies approach toward the gay, lesbian, transgender, and bisexual community. Writing can sometimes shine the light needed to effect change and bring about movements just like the Harlem Renaissance age of writing. This was greatly seen through the poem.
Survivor as well as the poem Famous Hats conveyed deeper meanings towards things that already exist in everyones rim of knowledge. Survivor talks about how gay lover wants to die before his lover so that he doesn't have to deal with the stress from the family that never approved of their family member decision. Then, it is even more noticeable that he is in someway speaking to society to right this wrong because no should be thinking of these type of questions when thinking of the death of a loved one. Famous hats take the step further into history and explains Napoleon hats.
He says that he wore many hats in a figurative way. Meaning that his mind was so creative that it could be broken down into many different aspects. This is exciting because he always wore a hat but no one really thought of it in such a way. The finishing lines were even greater than the first because it says that he always remained the same even through the different hats as the boy he was born. That is interesting because often times people lose sight of who they are along the way to success.
