For the revision of The Wedding, I used the rubic and the instructor’s critiques. I changed the opening into an attention getter suggested by the instructor. I also chose the perspective of the main character to add more depth to the poem. I took the dramatic tension and gave more life to that so I could tie it into the character’s perspective. I changed the ending to make it more effective for this poem using the thirteen ways of looking at revision. For the revision of The Bra, I used

As the reader progresses through Amis’s pages, it becomes apparent that the narrator retains his memory only from the novel’s commencement, identified in reality as Odilo’s death, yet he is unable to recall anything that happened prior to this event, forcing him to relive his life in order to understand it.

At the beginning of this course, I didn’t realize that my poems would be read aloud to the whole class and that other students would be given the opportunity to tear into them. So, when the line, “Nine years before Gucci - hold onto the pole”, from my poem “Carcajou Dreams” was read aloud, I quickly realized how silly my words sounded and that I was going to need to write poetry with a bit more substance.
