The Killers
In the poem "The Killers" written by Cordelia Candelaria, the narrator explains how much we have to hear and read about killers. They question what killers do on a daily, wondering if they are normal like us, if so, showing two completely different sides of someone.

A Semi-Revolution
Although a revolution can be seen as a good act to overthrow a corrupt government to make a fundamental change in a society, Robert Frost’s A Semi-Revolution gives a new perspective on how a revolution should be made and how far a revolution should go, because he believes that a revolution should only go half way and that a complete revolution would only put the same class up on top again.

Unfaithful
In the poem “ why must U be Unfaithful” It talks about how men are selfish and doesn’t have a brain. The poem gives insight on how women look at men. The narrator uses some pretty harsh words such as cruel, empty vows, selfish and others.
Thesis- Although men sometimes treat women terribly that doesn’t mean that all men should be called unfaithful by women, because in the poem the narrator states, “ why must men be unfaithful?”.

In the poem Advertisement for the Waldorf Astoria, Langston Hughes describes six ways of life living or being a guest at the famous hotel the Waldorf Astoria. His titles were Listen, Hungry Ones, Roomers, Evicted Families, Negros Everybody, and Christmas Cards.
For all the hungry people to not be ashamed of eating with the people, your bosses or masters in an elegant place like the Waldorf Astoria. To lift your heads high and be prepared to be welcomed into the high class of society.
High class society does not frown on the lower class society once they have reached the top of the ladder and made something of themselves. We accept those who have worked hard to get out of a social class and into another.
That nobody cares about the homeless people on the street once they have become evicted. That if you have been evicted from your home, society feels you should have done better with your finances and not landed on the streets with your children.

Facing it
In the poem facing it was about a person who was in war and got killed during the action.
Although war is cruel and harmful to people and the environment, there are certain kind of good outcomes of it even thought it takes time to get back to their normal life and people get to bond that during time, because after the war there are always a help and support from different countries. It depends on what the war was about; it’s usually about justice and freedom (Yusef Komunyakaa 229)

Response to "Killers"
In Cordelia Candelaria's "Killers" we are shown a portrayal of killers. Killers are not average, their stories intrigue and excite us. However, they may appear average in their daily lives because they are only human after all. They have to eat,sleep, and earn a living.

Killers by Cordelia Candelaria
Killers
In the poem "The Killers" written by Cordelia Candelaria, we experience the curiosity of the writer about murderers’ daily life. Although the killers done something very wrong by taking a life, they are un peaceful and frighten because we read their stories. Candelaria wonders that “When it rains like tonight heavy and cold/ do they sit cozy somewhere” (198). Although this poem sounds weird, I found this poem very interesting, because narrative brings a unique topic by questioning criminal people’s daily life.

Why must you be Unfaithful (4 women)
In the poem “why must you be unfaithful” Tupac talks about men being selfish and don’t use their brain. He states that men tend to listen their heart and mistreat their women.
Thesis -- Although Tupac believes that women aren’t perfect, he also claims that most men take them for granted even though they[men] gain their trust, because most of them listen to their selfish heart rather than manipulate the brain.

Beautiful Women
Although men hold an image as the provider, they still need the woman in order to be the provider because the woman is who provides for the man as a baby until death.
