Ross Gay’s book Against Which, portrays his poetry to readers allowing them to gain understanding of the cruel world that one lives in. Moreover, the unusual brutalities that people are inevitable confronted with in life. The common denominators within Gay’s poems such as violence, love, fear, and loss allows the reader to visualize characters’ transformation within his poems. In a world of calamity, Gay has created poems that portray the corporal conforming to gender and sex but also human development. Using a reader-response criticism lens, I will be demonstrating my interpretation of Ross Gay’s poems and the meaning that I believe to be a common interpretation of his work. Within, Gay’s poems, “It Starts at Birth” and Angels Out of Reach” one is able to see a pattern of human transformation. By experiencing pain, love, loss, fear, and wisdom one is able to see Gay’s characters evolve through the narrators and readers gaze. In doing so, one is able to reflect on Gay’s poems and gain wisdom themselves.

During the book, Yoshino talks about how different religions have to cover. He elaborated on the fact that Muslims, after 9/11 were faced with this challenge. What took me by surprise, was the encounter of the mother going to change her son’s surname from Mohammed to Smith. I have never thought of this issue. I never knew there were Muslims who actually changed their name! I could never imagine changing my name in order to fit in with society and/or not be look upon in such a harsh way and religiously profiled.

Sometimes the most unlikely people can change your life. In the novel Tag Along, by Tom Ryan, we see a group of the most different teenagers team up, whether by fate or by an unusual turn of events, for a wild, one-night-long adventure. The story changes into the perspective of the four main characters: Andrea, Candace, Paul, and Roemi. At the beginning of the novel, they start out as near-strangers all disappointed when their prom goes askew before it even begins, but by the end, after 8 hours of haphazard events, they have formed a strong bond. The characters and the readers alike learn many life lessons, however, all of which root towards the same big  meaning, that people are not what you expect them to be. This meaning is emphasised in the story through three components, the narrative point of view, the use of irony, and character development.
