Sympathy by: Paul Laurence
In the performance, he did a good job on physical presence. He looked confident and relaxed in front of the audience. It was also very easy to hear him and tell what he was saying. For dramatization, he used a few hand jestures but they didn't take away from the poem so they were appropriate. The level of difficulty was also good. The poem wasn't too difficult but it was pretty long. It seemed that he got the meaning of the poem but didn't enhance it enough to make the audience understand it as good as they could.
I think the poem was about sympathy towards a caged bird. It sounded as though the speaker of the poem knew what it was like to be restrained and not be able to do what they dreamed of doing. The reciter did a good job of articulating some words and putting pauses between some lines to add dramatic effect.
