Wow, that Wendy Rose tale was probably something that I am glad we were exposed to as students. Her story of her life was something written so uniquely, it wasn't something that we needed to read and try to understand her, but we had to read her words to try and analyze the situation she was setting up for us. She wrote in a way that was foreign to her, yet it was simple that we could read it, and then she wrote in a way that she was so comfortable, and as vague as it was, it was explained by the words written before it.I think the fact she was so open yet it wasn't like she was try to force her writing so that people felt a need to read it. I thinks he wrote it for herself, and explained its awkwardness for herself. The fact that people got to enjoy it, was something that she was just used to handing out with her poetry.
Also, she wrote, explaining her uncomfortable side, and yet as a reader I wasn't uncomfortable reading it, i was sorry that she had to go through, and try to understand how people couldn't feel a need to reach out to her!
Off hand, I wish she could have written a novel because it would have been something I would love to read. However, her poetry is something that is an awesome insight and glad we got to read. I hope you continue to share it with your students.
