QUESTIONS:1) Do you think the author really fell into holes in the sidwalk? What do you think the "holes" in this poem are a methaphor for? What kinds of "holes" have you fallen into in your life? The hole he said he fell that he cant get out of is like when you keep gatting into trouble and makes it hard to get out. Like me i've been into alot of trouble with the people I hang around with and i just makes it hard not to do it cause i've been getting into trouble since i was little.
2) When I first read this poem, I thought of what's happening to your grades. Some of you seem to be stuck in hole #2: your grades go down; you pretend you don't see it; you have "F"s again; you can't believe you're in the same place; you say it isn't your fault; it takes you forever to get out or you don't get out at all. Which hole are you in right now? Why do you think so? The hole i am in is my grades cause i always say i am going to get my grades up and i dont and i always end up in the same place. SO after my grades go so low it gets hard to get them caught up so thats my hole.
3) In terms of your grades, what do you have to do to reach step V and not fall into the hole of letting your grades drop? If you have already reached step V, how did you get there; and what advice can you give to the students who are stilling falling into "holes"? What i have to do is do my work and not fall behind and get help when i need it. I also have to start paying attention and stop fooling around.
