Analysis Of The Red Hat By Rachel Hadas

Rachel Hadas is a well-known poet who wrote many inspiring poems and books. Some of her well know poems that we read in class were, “The Red Hat,” which was directed to parents sending their children on the first day of school, also “Conklin 455” was directed to students at Rutgers University, and so many other great poems that we read in class. Hadas visit to our class was very inspiring. It was my first time meeting and interacting with an author amazing individual as her. This is one of my favorite college experiences so far thanks to our professor. Throughout Hadas’s visit I was reminded of many great strategies. Those strategies include but are not limited to, writing about what one knows rather than anything that they are not familiar

Hadas’s life was surrounded by books all her life that’s why she is a great writer. Hadas’s life can help me develop my writing because it inspires me to read more, although I wasn’t taught to read when I was young like her. Moving to the United States in the fifth grade was a challenge. I had to start from the basics in order to catch up with my classmates. English wasn’t an easy subject for me, I always had trouble with the language, but I had to try to teach myself some basic roles that where taught to students in the first grade. This didn’t bother me that much but rather it help me to see where my weakness is and try to work on it.

Hadas’s visit helped me understand the importance of reading. Even though I didn’t come from literate family like Hadas’s but I managed to help myself in school by reading more. Good writers read whenever they have a chance to read. This gives Hadas the credibility that she is one of the good

Trimble stated, “Good writers write in a natural tone.” Writing in a natural tone helps the writer to focus and organize their thoughts clearly. Hadas stated, “write in a way that comes natural, but it takes time to write in your natural voice.” This is an inspiring phrase that Rachel stated, because it is one of my weaknesses in writing. I tend to start my papers after reading other people’s work on the same topic, so I can follow in their footsteps in order to write a good paper. But this is not a great strategies because, we tend to shot down the voices inside of us, just to write like someone else. Now that I realized that good writing comes in a natural tone of voice, I need to work on my writings more, by thinking more compiling my own ideas in a draft. Therefore, writing in a natural tone is one of the greatest strategies to become a successful writer, and the way to do this is writing a couple of drafts to get all the ideas
