Scott's Critique on Heidi's Poems

Both poems Heidi wrote consisted of the theme of knowledge and a higher learning. Although they were the same subject they both stood out on their own, each with separate perspectives to education. I really liked the metaphor in "Library Smell"; "...The scent of knowledge, of story. I try to absorb it through my skin but the words get caught in my pores-" In regards to "Education," I liked the rhyme scheme and the break half way through to free verse, it's an interesting pattern that I thought worked really well. "Education" was definitely a powerful piece due to the ongoing discussion in class.
