    I Knew This Was My Moment I was sitting on a chair‚ tied up‚ in an isolated cabin. I felt very weary as I had just opened my eyes after a deep sleep. I had no idea of my sleeping hours‚ days or even months! It was damp and frosty inside the place. This wood cabin‚ if I were to use one word to describe it would be ‘UNKEMPT’! Spider webs clouded every corner‚ refuse scattered all over‚ hordes of flies buzzing around it‚ scavenging for sustenance. A pungent smell arose from a stale‚ discarded

    this poem was the title‚ and how it was written to be read as the first line of the poem. The title also drew me in because I have a connection to the material‚ my father died when I was ten. Not many lines about the speaker’s father draw direct parallels to my father‚ but never the less I was drawn to the work and felt a since of deep melancholy as I read.

    Story Review For this week reading‚ I chose to read "In Cuba I Was a German Shepherd" by Ana Menendez.
