After watching her interview, it helped the audience understand first-hand knowledge of what she was going through. When reading her essay, it just felt like one experience and event that has happened, but hearing her talk through her experience makes the audience really put themselves in her shoes. It was inspiring and heart-warming to hear that her relationship with her grandma is what influenced her to read poems because she said that her grandma would use to chant Chinese poems with her on her grandma’s back. This is when she started to find that poetry was her safe place. Although she was influenced by her grandmother, she was also the one that was strict with her and restricted her from going to the poetry camp. Even though these events were painful to her, she wrote these poems about these situations out of a funny and “witty” experience. This not only tells her situation but, ironically, entertains the audience by making them laugh. I found it interesting that her poetry is in conversation form!
