Chris: I thought this poem was ok. I agree that fear makes you do whatever you have to to save yourself but love makes you save others.
Danyelle: I didn't necessarily like this poem but I did enjoy how she made love seem like a person; giving it arms, legs, and hands to emphasize how we as a people need it.
