Diane Ackerman Notes

We Are Listening:

In Metropolis, people are too busy to listen so the best place for listening should be outside. Blind people are good at listening to the environment. The poem is in chronological order, from the beginning to the night to the dream, and the author lists several places to search sounds. The point that reminds me about listening is "we imagine". When people focus on listening to something, they will gradually block the other sense organs to imagine to sound.

Like Your Face:

A poem describes someone's face with many metaphors. Actually, eyelashes become the only part of the face mentioned in the poem, while the other lines refer the face to nature's description. From a small face to the giant world, it is a big shift.

(1) What spirit do you want to transfer to your readers?

(2) Do you suggest people use the money to support their dreams?
