My Brother Sam is Dead
The thing that I am doing is writting is a poem for the book my brother sam is dead. The reason that I am writting this is because I think that it would be an nice thing to do. I am not writting about his life but from my point of view and the things that I wanted to know.
If only you could go back,back in time would you
Or would you just be fine with the way it is
The way that you left and went off to war
Don't you know that Tim never really wanted you to go
You never gave your family the time that they need
See cause before they know it you were gone
First your father then went you know all thats left is Tim
He has to be the man of the house before it is his time
All you left was Tim and your mom with the pain to bare
You never thought or the way your family would feel
I guess you never know the pain that this would bring
But know its all over and theres not turning back
See cause you picked this fate for yourself.........

Latifah this poem has very good meaning to it. I can feel everything you are saying. It has such good meaning in your poem. Very good job.
Nicely done Latifah this poem make think of bleming Sam for everything. Because of him that why Tim is the man in the house, eventhough Tim is still a boy.
Latifah's poem was a summary about how the Meeker family felt about Sam going to war. It is like she is speaking to Sam and making him aware of all of the negative effects his decision on fighting in the Revolutionary War had on his family. She really emphasizes how much Sam's family needed him after Mr. Meeker was captured(and eventually died).
