The type of poem on slide 8 was a ‘better by memory’ poem. I chose to tell this person because of how its my memory of my hometown beach. I told my perspective about me at the beach in Hawaii I grew up. I went there almost every other day with my friends. I used to think of the place as ‘alive’. But the island has changed from about 10 years ago. It has seemed different from all the new people there, the way the economy has changed, and how there are much more industrial projects within the island now, I know the island better from memory. It has changed from what I know the island from where I grew up and how i remember the home was meant to be.
