The use of sports helped me better understand an otherwise very hard to dissect piece of reading. The use of Serena Williams as a symbol and the tennis match as metaphor is an amazing clear-cut view of the African American experience.

The special occasion speech I chose was Serena Williams. The speech she gave was a speech of award acceptance.

The movement she used was that she raised and presented her trophy to show what she had accomplished. Her voice was loud and she smiled‚ showing that she felt happy and grateful. Her speech was also inspiring

Through many of his poems‚ William Carlos Williams presents the reality of poverty among a great portion of the American society. Within Williams’ work of Selected Poems‚ he not only reveals the trapped lifestyle of those living in poverty‚ but he also represents the horror of the war between social classes along with the coinciding war on the poor.
