 Today we read a poem called “Incident” by Countee Cullen. I learned that no matter if you think something isn’t offensive, the tone in which you say it in can be offensive. I also learned the words that offend my fellow classmates and now I know to never use those words with them or anyone else. I liked that all of us could be vulnerable with each other and let each other know what bothers us. I struggled with talking about my word, because it is triggering. Today was kind of hard, I lost my friend Coral over the break so it was a bumpy day.

I wrote it to make the reader feel as if the child is actually talking to them and having a conversation with them.
