The character in the poem feels like theres no hope for him, and thinks he has no future and is lucky enough to live to age twenty-one. I've learned that I shouldn't put myself down, because if i have something good going for me i should continue working on it until it gets better.
What inferences can you make about this poem? In the poem it tells about how the area where they live in is, and it tells about how people don't think about death and how his father was killed from all the violence in the street. Tyrone tries to fight from admitting he has a future but wants to stay in the hood. The word that can describe Tyrone's feelings is fearless because in the poem he says is too late to worry about innocence.
I can connect with this poem because of the way he describes where he lives, and it's similar to how people act now in the street. Sometimes kids feel like they don't have a future but then we realize there is hope for us even though theres so much discrimination and violence.
