Wordle Explained

The purpose of this concrete poem is to show that survival has many impacts on a person. Crabbe's reckless anger lead him to run away and survive alone in a forest. He then met a women named Mary who helped him understand life more and also for why he ran away from his problems. But at the end Crabbe had to face the death of  his newly close friend Mary, which helped him understand that he had to go back home to his family and face his problems. To create this purpose I made the word "survival" larger than the other words to show that the main purpose is directed towards how Crabbe had to survive alone in the forest. The other words like "understanding", "reckless-anger", and "death" are smaller than the word "survival", because this is to show the outcome and elements of survival. Wordle was a pretty cool software to use to make this poem, and I think it is a very helpful tool to use when  making a poem, especially a concrete one. 

Concrete Poem

Significant Characteristic

Two significance elements from the book that I am currently reading, Crabbe by William Bell, is the setting and the event that leads up to the setting. The setting in my book is the woods where Crabbe runs away into. This is significance to the story because this is where Crabbe wants to run away to from all his problems, and also the setting changes the way he looks at life, for example,"I lay there all night, trying to figure the answer. Was my life very different from others'? Were we all alone, in spite of the illusion of comfort from other people? Or was I only depressed by the dark, alien bush that wrapped me like a cloak?" (Bell 88). This text example shows that he starts questioning his life and what it means. Also the woods is where he gets into his accident which leads to the main plot of the story. The other significant element of my book is the event that leads Crabbe to run away into the woods. Crabbe hates his life and all the problems that he has to face. So he decides to run away, and he decides the best place to go is to the woods where his father and him would go camping in couple of weeks. He takes a lot of planning on how to run away into the woods and not leave any trace, for example, "So I planned the escape carefully. It was to be the one perfect act I'd perform in my life, pure, clean, like the edge of a razor." (Bell 19).
