Imagine yourself sitting by the window, waiting. Gazing outside with optimism and hope that he will come back. But he does not. Time ticks by slowly, and every second ages your heart rapidly. The bright sun hides as the gloomy clouds eat the sky. Everything is now silent except the beating raindrops on the window. As you stare out the rainy window, you notice water in your peripheral vision, and it is not from the outside. Your heart submerges and everything freezes. Only time sluggishly grudges on. But You Didn’t by Merrill Glass is an emotional rollercoaster that enlightened me as it opened my eyes to my own life. It taught me valuable lessons like how I should live the present, hold onto the past, and to love people.

It may look like an ordinary word, but the actual meaning and significance underneath the word can be stealthily substantial. The actions the man did for the narrator means much more to the narrator. According to the narrator, “ I thought you’d kill me… / But you didn’t. / (...) / I thought you’d hate me… / But you didn’t. / (...) / I thought you’d drop me… / But you didn’t.” (2-3, 6-7, 11-12). These are her symbolic events, her significant moments that is special for her. Everyone has different objects that is truly special for us. It can raise the hairs on our skins to send cold shivers down our spine. Even their favorite tomato soup can tickle their nose. We did something similar in class when we each brought in something that was meaningful to us. We all had different objects that meant something big, including a volleyball ticket, car keys, even a CD album. Merrill Glass is getting the idea that people should treasure them and their past. These becomes part of who we are, and as long as we are alive we should remember them. Remembering gives the purpose of the past. Rather good or bad, these events create our roadways to our future. Knowing these purpose helps us move forward, from avoiding making the same mistake to getting through difficult times to honoring our loved ones and their teachings to us.

She dented his car, accidentally made him be humiliated in a formal party, and even flirted with other boys. (1-12). Instead of blowing up with red fury on his face, he continued to forgive her thanks to the power of love. My heart was perplexed at first, then was relieved in awe after being inspired. The narrator in the poem wanted to express how she felt when he showed her love and happiness. Those two things are the greatest thing anyone could ask for. Anyone who grows up with love and happiness has a great start for life. This is why I want to be the best brother I can be to my sister. Before she was born, my artwork of life decelerated as I fell into the artist’s stage of struggle and frustration. However, the birth of my sister changed me. She provided me the color I need to continue my artwork, the determination to keep pushing. I try to be the best brother I can be because she saved me and my artwork. Griffith said, “we are each other’s work of art.” The way we connect with other people is truly a work of art like Griffith says. The poem shows how important these connections are. Like the loved one, we can all push through hard and difficult times thanks to the power of love between each
