1 – Dylan Thomas – "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night" 
1) What emotions/feelings do you have after reading the poem?
After reading this poem, I have empathy for the poet. It seems as if he doesn’t know how to deal with death. He shows a grieving personality over his father’s death. Also, I believe that death takes a new personal meaning for Thomas. http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15377mMID/15377
2)How does your chosen image reflect the emotions conjured by the poem?
My image illustrates various ways to approach death in old age. To me this image is the definition of dying light. Thomas father is dying gently into the night and he doesn’t want his father to go away. It shows affirming life up until the last break of dawn, rather than learning to accept death quietly.
2 – Gwendolyn Brooks – "We Real Cool"
1) What emotions/feelings do you have after reading the poem?
My feelings towards this poem is that I don’t have no remorse if these young teenagers keep doing the bad things there doing. If they keep following that lifestyle they will eventually die.

2) How does your chosen image reflect the emotions conjured by the poem? This image shows there are no direction, and the group of boys “We” don't really care about anything, not even their wellbeing for the future. All they want to do is hangout in the streets and live a bad lifestyle. They have no sense of themselves and are not aware of the importance of education, which will sooner or later become their downfall.
3 – Emily Dickinson – "I felt a Funeral, in my Brain"
1) What emotions/feelings do you have after reading the poem?
I feel as if the author is having a pain attack or mental breakdown of some sort. I find this poem to be weird and very confusing to understand I think the title of the poem is a metaphor for the author having a mental breakdown.
