Sonia Weitz- Victory
I chose the poem Victory by Sonia Weitz, a very touching poem about Sonia and her father having one last dance together before he was sent away to be killed. This was a very moving poem especially for me because I love my dad so much, and thinking of me and him together knowing I will never see him again, just breaks my heart. The part where it says "My lovely father (once big and strong)" was touching because it was saying that the concentration camps or death camps, make great strong people into small weak beings that don't have a purpose in life anymore. Also how Sonia was so hungry and so scared but when she was with him, none of that mattered and in fact almost went away. That's what really pulled at my heart, because when you love someone so much that they can make you feel safe even though your destined to die and that person is just taken away from you because of your religious beliefs, it must be the toughest thing anyone has ever had to endure. This made me extremely sad, it's even making me teary eyed. I think that it's so unfair just to separate this little girl and her father because of what they believe in.

Dear Lily,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your blogpost. You added what was needed, still when you say "was touching because it was saying", you should have added 'in my opinion', because someone might take it in a different way. In the next sentence you say "Also how sonia was so hungry". How does this relate to Sonia's father who was 'once big and strong, and now weak and frail?' In the second last sentence, when you say 'making me teary eyed' this means you are crying right now, when if you say 'made' it would make more sense. Still the blogpost was great! :D
