Video- Poetry: Hunting Snake by Judith Wright

 A few weeks ago, we started seeing Poetry in Literature. Our teacher selected some poems from our books, and 'Hunting Snake' by Judith Wright was the one we got. 

 In this poem, the poet describes an experience she had with some friends, when they were walking down the autumn sky, and they saw a big black snake. Judith Wright uses contradictions to describe the animal, most time putting two negative adjectives and a positive one, giving us the idea that eventhough they were scared of it, the snake was beautiful and powerful. 

 The first part of the task was to make an oral presentation, explaning the poem. And then, the second part was to make a video of us reading the poem, while showing pictures related to it. THIS is the link, I hope you enjoy it. 

'Adrogué'

 Last week, in our Literature lesson, our teacher asked us to write a poem about the place where we come from, after reading the poem 'Where I Come From' by Elizabeth Brewster. Here is our poem:

'Adrogué'

 Fresh grass tickles,

 People idling, having fun

 Laughing as wind blows away their thoughts.

Trees shaking, leaves falling.

They welcome you, 

Round and round 

while dogs bark and bark,

 Day and night.

Down the Sun hides, 

 As birds fly and fly 

 Far, far and far

 Taking day's warmth, 

 Concealing day light, 

 As night traps you 

 under the stars.

Everything seems too perfect,

 so special as you,

as me,

us.
