My first reaction to the Clifton Strengths was a bit complicated. First, there were a series of questions that I had to answer in a certain amount of time. Initially, it was confusing because there were two sets of answers on different sides. I assume that I had to answer two different questions and this prolonged me to answering my responses in the beginning. As a result, this confusion led me to miss the first question.

She has found her “Wild Night”. ID #4 they don’t fit into little petty places, these hips are free hips. Lucille Clifton’s “homage to my hips,” is all about women’s empowerment. Throughout the poem, we see this reoccurring symbol of “hips.” Clifton is talking about women’s hips in general, not just hers. The “hips” in this poem symbolize how strong and powerful women are.
