    This is so cute!

  • on A Boy Named Sue by Sheldon Allan Silverstein, on November 28, 2005
    I, too, didn't realize that Silverstein wrote this. I just knew it as a song. The things we learn on AP!

    I agree with you, Martach. I had to read through this piece a few times to figure out what she was saying. She doesn't know her hands anymore; yet, they still hold value as someone else (most likely her mother) had these same hands after living the same number of years). I think my confusion in reading this piece is the lack of punctuation throughout. I want to put in commas and semicolons to make this more readable, but I'm not the author, so all I can do is read.

    This poem reminds me of the movie beaches when the woman is searching through pictures trying to find pictures of her mother's hands.
