In order to respond to poetry the reader must experience or connect with the emotion that the author displays in a poem. The poem “Oranges” by Gary Soto displays elements of symbolism, imagery, and tone that were engaging for me as a reader to be interested in this poem. These elements are what create focus for the young adolescent love in this poem. What drew me in to this particular poem is that the boy had a first time experience with a girl and first time experiences usually stick with a person.
William Carlos Williams makes great use of several elements in the presentation of the poem. Some of these elements are language, form and content.

This would also most likely be true for college students as well since college students, for the most part, are young and look up to celebrities. Towell’s article also talks about how students would also be interested in reading biographies written by a celebrity. Corey Taylor is a celebrity and the book he wrote is pretty much an autobiography, therefore based on this argument, this would be a good book for students to read. Towell’s article also makes a great conclusion; “if students are allowed to read about what really matters to them, they will become readers for life”
They must write in such a way that helps the man. “The poet’s voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail.” The writing must help him get through life, so to speak.

Dillard believes she must make her writing interesting, if it is dull people won’t read it.

This action also helped give women a shot at knowledge; especially helping them in making their own way in life and not limiting themselves to simple house learning lessons.
11 December 2014 Drowning in the Discourse Julie Wildhaber says that “A strong, well-defined voice is the bridge between you and your audience: It helps your readers understand who you are, and it helps you engage them” (Wildhaber). For students in college, their audience will always be their professor.

Most students tend to prioritize the more technical conventions of writing over the development of a distinguished and personalized voice. The conventions of college writing are very complex and if professors are more helpful and patient with first year students as they learn academic discourse, students will be better prepared for all future academic endeavors and they will have a better opportunity to strengthen and develop their voice.
