This is a response to Aprils' Free Verse Week 8. Here is the link to it: http://aprilantoniou.blogspot.com/2012/03/trip-to-grandmas.html?showComment=1331601843665#c7461917873145100788.
After reading's this piece by april, I started researching some of the things she describe in her piece. Words like "Tchotchkes (another word for small toys and knicknacks) and using member as another word from sexual organs adds a new spin on the language usually used in this piece. Even the title "A trip to grandma's" makes its seem like the character entered a new world within a place that seems so familiar. For a future revision though, I like to see the sentences played with, more of the piece broken up over multiple lines to throw the reader off. Adding some erasure to lines that might not fit into the writer further drafts.
