Comments by Drew Horsford Most recent public comments by Drew Horsford https://nowcomment.com/users/93794 The Diction I get from this poem is Symbol ("An object or action that stands for something more than it's literal meaning; generally contains several layers of meaning often concealed at first sight") https://nowcomment.com/documents/136885?scroll_to=2317287 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136885?scroll_to=2317287 I say this because of her using the steps you take in hopscotch to talk about the things she may have had to deal with, rent, less food, loosing jobs, etc. Every time the person jumps to their next position she tells us something new about the poverty around. Sat, 13 Feb 2021 19:47:07 -0500 The sound techniques in this poem, makes me think about it's rhythm, ("Rhythm makes language musical, emphasizes ideas, creates mood, and contributes to tone") https://nowcomment.com/documents/136885?scroll_to=2316166 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136885?scroll_to=2316166 Because of the constant reference back to the Hopscotch game while she talks about the struggles of Harlem living. "One foot down then hop", "In the air, now both feet down" , "Hold for three, then twist and Jerk" . She comes back to it as if we are in one location and then stop and think about in debt meanings, then continue onto the next space. Sat, 13 Feb 2021 19:47:07 -0500 This piece can be defined literary by it's use of tension, (The strain that results from forces pulling away from each other without reaching resolution) https://nowcomment.com/documents/136885?scroll_to=2316118 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136885?scroll_to=2316118 Because of it's quick switch from playing a game with you feet to the accommodations of "living in Harlem". Late rent, due to the lack of money. Need of food and even the constant arguments inside the household. I believe Maya was talking about how jumping between spaces reminded her of what was going on inside her family home/around the neighborhood. Or even how she may use Hopscotch as an escape from it. Sat, 13 Feb 2021 19:47:07 -0500 A question I have for Maya according to this poem is.. She talking about her own living situation and the constant hissing she had to herself when she became an adult? Or is she referring back to when she was a child and heard her parents arguments. https://nowcomment.com/documents/136885?scroll_to=2316046 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136885?scroll_to=2316046 Sat, 13 Feb 2021 19:47:07 -0500 The insight I get is, While she plays this nice friendly game of hopscotch, It reminds her of the life she's living. As each person jumps it starts to feel like her issues and how she's overcoming one and then being bombarded by the rest. https://nowcomment.com/documents/136885?scroll_to=2316035 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136885?scroll_to=2316035 Sat, 13 Feb 2021 19:47:07 -0500 The image I get from reading this poem are a group of kids on a empty street with no cars passing, playing Hopscotch. Until each time she/the person jumps, her mind floods with things she has to do/things her parents have to provide. https://nowcomment.com/documents/136885?scroll_to=2316013 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136885?scroll_to=2316013 Sat, 13 Feb 2021 19:47:07 -0500 I like the Personal experience and "Slang", Yolanda used to describe Philadelphia. https://nowcomment.com/documents/105180?scroll_to=2310317 https://nowcomment.com/documents/105180?scroll_to=2310317 For example when she shares past memories of people walking down the street, street numbers, and even the stores on the corner. It's interesting how these little details can define a place and make it different then any other location. Wed, 03 Feb 2021 11:09:33 -0500 I think this whole sentiment Sharon provided for Tish was something that could give her a little bit of strength/peace till Fonny is out. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2261742 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2261742 She's doing it for the baby. Tue, 19 Jan 2021 15:21:26 -0500 These words from paragraph 248-273. Where so cute. It's good to hear that there love is still going strong. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2261727 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2261727 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 12:39:56 -0500 (Opinion) I don't think Fonny was trying to be rude to Tish/meant that in a hurtful way but with everything going on, he just seems very stressed. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2261725 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2261725 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 20:46:44 -0500 It sounded as if Fonny was very fond of Daniel, I wonder if he made any visits to the jail where Fonny was being held. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2261721 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2261721 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 12:37:54 -0500 I'm glad that they were putting in a effort to help Fonny. He deserves it after everything he's been through. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2261716 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2261716 Sun, 10 Jan 2021 15:30:10 -0500 I think Tish understood the situation but was so blinded by the pain of Fonny's arrest, that she didn't wanna hear anything. I'm glad her mom was there to help her though. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2261713 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2261713 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 00:29:04 -0500 I'm glad that even if Fonny is nervous, he's standing up and not backing down. This shows that he really love that girl. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2261709 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2261709 Thu, 07 Jan 2021 13:29:33 -0500 That's also what I'm trying to figure out. And I wonder if Tish is having the same reaction as us. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2261706 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2261706 Wed, 06 Jan 2021 18:45:22 -0500 (Opinion) She hardly even tries to put up a nice front, being that Tish is a guest. I wonder what was going through her head when she established she wouldn't like her. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2261705 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239919?scroll_to=2261705 Wed, 06 Jan 2021 18:44:15 -0500 This was a cute metaphor, that symbolized the love Fonny had for her. In a jokingly manor. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250007 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250007 Tue, 19 Jan 2021 14:13:02 -0500 I agree, he stayed and they were both happy. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250006 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250006 Sat, 19 Dec 2020 22:52:20 -0500 Fonny's love for Tish is so beautiful and strong, despite the opinion of others. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250005 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250005 Mon, 21 Dec 2020 09:31:35 -0500 (Opinion) I love how much Ernestine cares about Tish's mental health and the baby. It's great to see a nice sister bond and I think it's what Tish really needs. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250004 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250004 Sun, 20 Dec 2020 21:36:09 -0500 I agree ocean, maybe Ms. Hunt feels "threatened" by Tish and thinks she's no good for Fonny. Or maybe Ms. Hunt thinks Fonny doesn't deserve to be happy, because of his sins. (Going to Jail) https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250003 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250003 Sat, 19 Dec 2020 22:45:15 -0500 I agree as well. But maybe his trauma might set him in a better path. If he doesn't wanna be like his parents, He will do right by there unborn child. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250001 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250001 What I'm trying to say is maybe the abuse shaped him to do better/be better. Tue, 19 Jan 2021 13:49:06 -0500 I also agree, maybe she thinks him being in jail will teach him not to do whatever he did again. It will teach him a valuable lesson, and keep him from doing anymore "bad". https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250000 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2250000 Sat, 19 Dec 2020 22:39:45 -0500 Ms. Hunt speaks about Frank as if she's embarrassed of him. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2249991 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2249991 Sat, 19 Dec 2020 18:06:10 -0500 I agree, there mindsets are so much alike. Probably one of the many reasons they click. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2249990 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2249990 Sun, 24 Jan 2021 19:58:45 -0500 I also agree, they don't allow other people's doubt, to come between them. They just keep moving because they are confident in themselves. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2249989 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2249989 Sat, 19 Dec 2020 18:03:27 -0500 I agree, Especially since they were walking past "whites" and cops. Racism was a big issue at the time, and still lives on today. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2246056 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2246056 And I'm not cutting out the "blacks" because anyone can be a bad person/make bad decisions. Wed, 06 Jan 2021 16:42:12 -0500 I'm glad that Fonny makes her feel good about herself, instead of pushing her down about her features. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2244796 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2244796 Tue, 15 Dec 2020 10:35:40 -0500 (Opinion) I'm glad that the family can agree and cherish this baby. And that her father is proud of her. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2244751 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2244751 Tue, 22 Dec 2020 13:25:09 -0500 (Question) What did the Dad (When they were younger) do to make them feel like he loved one sister more than he loved the other? https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2244748 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2244748 Tue, 19 Jan 2021 13:34:29 -0500 My question exactly. James is providing every piece of information about Fonny's arrest, but why he was arrested in the first place. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2244721 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2244721 I think he might be trying to build suspense on it. Thu, 14 Jan 2021 13:22:14 -0500 I also agree with you guys, it's interesting that they believe she can do that, but also makes me wonder if they drank when having Tish, the sister or any other family member. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2244666 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239184?scroll_to=2244666 Wed, 06 Jan 2021 17:47:07 -0500 (Opinion) I feel like this last paragraph was a weird way to end things, but also grab your attention for the next part/ continuation. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2238210 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2238210 Sun, 13 Dec 2020 19:58:45 -0500 (Opinion) Her emotions had spun around quickly. She was just relaxed and thinking about her baby. Now she is frightened. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2238209 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2238209 Thu, 10 Dec 2020 18:17:27 -0500 (Opinion) Her love for Fonny has been shown very deeply. I hope they have a good little family. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2238207 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2238207 Thu, 10 Dec 2020 18:14:19 -0500 (opinion) I'm glad Tish is feeling more emotionally connected with her baby, and that she got time to relax and truly think about the life in her stomach. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2238205 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2238205 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 02:03:29 -0500 (Replying) I agree with your questions Ocean. It's peculiar to me as well. Why is Fonny in jail if he was a good man? Maybe Tish is only referring too how he was before they started dating. Not how he is now. Maybe he changed? https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2238190 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2238190 Or maybe he was put in jail for a crime he did not commit. Thu, 10 Dec 2020 18:09:18 -0500 (Summary) The author is giving us a little background on Fonny's family, and (maybe) soon to be more involved characters. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2238180 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2238180 Thu, 10 Dec 2020 17:54:35 -0500 (replying) I agree with you Alexis, it's almost as if it gives me inspiration. A want to keep my mind clear and not get to ahead of myself. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2238178 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2238178 Fri, 22 Jan 2021 13:06:07 -0500 Her having to paraphrase the way she's saying his real name, doesn't sit right with me. She shouldn't have to feel that way over a NAME. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2238175 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2238175 Thu, 10 Dec 2020 17:46:41 -0500 What had Fonny/Alozo done to land himself in jail? Was it serious? Or a situation he had no control over? https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2238173 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2238173 Thu, 10 Dec 2020 17:41:58 -0500 What does she mean by "My mama's a kind of strange woman"? Is she saying it because of the age her mom was when she was born? https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2234108 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2234108 Wed, 09 Dec 2020 10:31:26 -0500 What is she trying to say? Is she trying to be rude or making a statement? https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2234090 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2234090 Wed, 09 Dec 2020 10:26:37 -0500 That was also my question, Is she trying to insinuate something? Or is she trying to offend her directly? https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2234088 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2234088 Wed, 09 Dec 2020 10:25:32 -0500 "The Lord's Day in Christianity is generally Sunday." So yes you are correct Leo. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2234070 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2234070 Wed, 09 Dec 2020 10:22:52 -0500 It must be hard for the woman to go about, knowing what the men do. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2234066 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2234066 "sit together in the barbershop, pass a bottle between them, walk to the corner to the bar, tease the girl behind the bar, fight with each other" etc. I bet it was hard to live there lives like that. In a repeating cycle. Wed, 09 Dec 2020 10:20:03 -0500 After that long summarized scene, they return to normal conversation as if it never happened. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2223153 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2223153 It feels wrong, how they brushed it aside. Wed, 06 Jan 2021 16:42:11 -0500 Question. https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2220313 https://nowcomment.com/documents/239056?scroll_to=2220313 Why did he feel the need to spit in her face/run after her? After all the trust she put into him, Going out of her way to HELP him. Why did he feel like that was okay? Sun, 06 Dec 2020 22:12:12 -0500 I agree. He wouldn't allow himself to be diminished by others, But sometimes you can't always win. Sometimes you don't have enough power to "fight" back. Aka fight against the Caucasians and there beliefs. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163972 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163972 He would still try though. Mon, 26 Oct 2020 22:03:43 -0400 I "agree". Especially in these times. It was tough for African Americans to do many things without the judgement of others. (Caucasian Americans.) https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163955 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163955 Mon, 26 Oct 2020 21:58:19 -0400 I agree. Things were starting to change and James had not realized until the impact had fully been made. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163942 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163942 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 00:49:19 -0500 After all the hard work James went through to get better and improve his lifestyle/emotions. His father ruined it for him. James is back to the way he once was. The way he hated and wanted to be relieved from. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163933 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163933 Wed, 06 Jan 2021 01:32:02 -0500 Connection. There was a connection between his life and his fathers life. How God granted different visions for the both of them. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163926 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163926 Wed, 06 Jan 2021 01:32:03 -0500 The authors main point is nothing could compare to the rejoicing of the church. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163892 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163892 Mon, 26 Oct 2020 21:41:49 -0400 Question. Did he stay with the church to honor his life changing moment? Did he stay with the church to help others, that may suffer the same issues he once did? Or Did he stay because he believed he needed it. He needed to have the church, the worship? https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163883 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163883 Mon, 26 Oct 2020 21:33:43 -0400 I'm glad he finally felt a sensation of relief/being released. He got a chance to forget. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163875 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163875 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 23:53:16 -0400 Question. I have the same question as James. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163871 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163871 Why? Why did things have to be this way for the world to work? Why are things moving in this direction? Why do African Americans have to suffer? Mon, 26 Oct 2020 21:25:43 -0400 Connections (Yellow Highlight) https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163863 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163863 This reminds me of James's stories from the past and the large tole it had on his life, and being able to grow up. Like a "normal kid". Mon, 26 Oct 2020 21:21:08 -0400 Opinion. I love the way this is said. It's the truth. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163837 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163837 Mon, 26 Oct 2020 21:10:21 -0400 Question (Green Highlight) https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163800 Why did he want to use the word "inflamed"? Why did he feel like the "source of fire and temptation"? Like some part of it may have been his fault? Mon, 26 Oct 2020 21:02:36 -0400 Opinion. I like the use of "I did not intend to allow". https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163788 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163788 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 23:22:34 -0400 Opinion (Purple Highlight) I think the way James put these words together, creates a powerful "acceptance" this world should not have. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163781 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163781 It lets others aka Caucasians get away with things they shouldn't be able too. Especially when it puts African Americans down to be acknowledged. Mon, 26 Oct 2020 20:46:32 -0400 Opinion (Purple Highlight) I like how this phrase/sentence is worded. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163587 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163587 "For the first time, NOT as a possibility but as THE possibility." The use of not and the was clever. Mon, 26 Oct 2020 18:51:24 -0400 Summary (Red Highlight) Change. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163567 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163567 The main point of this section is things are gonna change. No matter what. people are gonna start growing up and things will be different. Wed, 28 Oct 2020 09:52:00 -0400 I thought that too. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163494 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2163494 Especially when it said "Down at the cross when my Savior died." It gave me the biggest clue. Tue, 27 Oct 2020 20:57:26 -0400 Question (Green Highlight) Opinion (Purple Highlight) https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2160445 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2160445 I know it was hard for many people to see, children, men, woman, friends, family etc. To be harassed constantly by police, and not have a say or justification in it. How would they get over it in this time? How much hatred could one hold in there heart before they snap? Mon, 26 Oct 2020 11:07:10 -0400 Summary (Red Highlight) Making others believe. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2153233 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231335?scroll_to=2153233 I think this means Kipling wants Caucasians to be in control, Lead the African Americans as they "should". Thu, 22 Oct 2020 11:01:22 -0400 I agree, there will always be a fight to conquer and a battle to overcome. No one is free until we all are free. And his use of "they" makes me think he is talking about African Americans. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231316?scroll_to=2146161 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231316?scroll_to=2146161 There will always be something others can't "allow"/see as there own.

He can't allow others to bring him down because they will feed off that and never let him get back up again. He has to stay positive and hang on. Not let the White people bother him cause it will only cause pain. Mon, 19 Oct 2020 19:33:11 -0400 I agree because the story start off with for James and was written by James Baldwin. So I think this letter is basically one James aka the uncle writing to another James aka his nephew. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231316?scroll_to=2146155 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231316?scroll_to=2146155 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 19:27:17 -0400 Michael Joseph might be A person that thought James's letter had to be published for the world to see, he wanted others to read the great journey of his life and really take in everything that was going on and what's being said. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231316?scroll_to=2146150 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231316?scroll_to=2146150 Or Michael could be one of James's close buddies and wanted to help publish this letter to honor/glorify him. Mon, 19 Oct 2020 19:24:35 -0400 I like the way you use the word limited in you statement. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231316?scroll_to=2138610 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231316?scroll_to=2138610 Thu, 15 Oct 2020 20:55:17 -0400 I agree.

He was African American. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231316?scroll_to=2138584 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231316?scroll_to=2138584 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 13:43:52 -0400 These two sentences tell us more about James and the person writing this letter to him.

Were does this all lead? https://nowcomment.com/documents/231316?scroll_to=2138564 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231316?scroll_to=2138564 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 14:15:00 -0400 I like when James says "and for which neither I nor time nor history will ever forgive them" Because it's true, the things that have and still continue to be done will never be truly forgiven. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231316?scroll_to=2138561 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231316?scroll_to=2138561 Sun, 18 Oct 2020 19:41:53 -0400 (Important) The way this sentence was worded was powerful. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231316?scroll_to=2135391 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231316?scroll_to=2135391 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 09:17:05 -0500 (Like ) The way James Baldwin switches his statement entirely from "You may be like your grandfather--both you and your father resemble him very much physically" to "well he's dead" Grabbed my attention. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231316?scroll_to=2135386 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231316?scroll_to=2135386 Wed, 06 Jan 2021 01:32:02 -0500
