Sinners Like Me “And when the doctor smacked him‚ you can bet your ass he took a swing‚ ‘cause he comes from a long line of sinners like me.” That line‚ that song‚ it’s all so true.

I’m surprised to see some people moving to the status “vegetarian” and this worries me for some rationality. These vegetarians who were once traditional eaters have transformed their diet to green-eaters. For example‚ they have become sympathizes towards animals. Especially towards “cows”. In fact‚ Taylor Clark‚ the author of “Meatless Like Me” one day‚ “realized that he could never look a cow in the eyes” and he felt as if he was doing something “cruel and unnecessary”

The three elements of the poem that I found to be engaging were the tone‚ the content‚ and the language that the author uses. This poem struck some feelings in me. Therefore I am taking a descriptive approach to my response. As a black woman I felt somewhat belittled by the tone that this author uses in this poem. She speaks about the idea of being a black girl as being someone

In comparison to previous topics I’ve studied‚ sociology better suits what it is I want to do with my life. It has taken me a while to figure what my niche is since I’ve been in college.

In the poem what it’s like to be a black girl‚ the choice made by the girl is desirable. She is determined
