Poems for Anthology

Alone - Maya Angelou

I chose this poem because I believe what she is saying. I do think that nobody can make it in this world alone.

Jabberwocky - Lewis Carroll

I chose this poem because at first glance it does not make sense but when you use your knowledge of english comprehension it is understandable. It is a parodying the absolute of language and it is a parody of a heroic quest. The words used to describe the Jabberwocky undercut it. The poem has neologisms that I quite enjoy. One neologism is "galumphing",which is a mixture between galloping and triumphant.
