Victory!

I chose the poem victory, because sad and depressing. Mainly because its about how they both have their last moments together. What stood out was how the father spoke to sonia about the last day and the dance. And also how sonia described how the beautiful the moment was. What touched my feeling is how she siad: I DANCED WITH YOU THAT ONE TIME ONLY.HOW SAD YOU WERE, HOW TIRED, LONELY YOU KNEW THAT THEY WOULD “TAKE” YOU SOON, and TO GRASP THIS MOMENT… SENSE THE MOOD;

YOUR ARMS AROUND ME FELT SO GOOD…THE UGLY BARRACKS DISAPPEARED – THERE WAS NO HUNGER… AND NO FEAR.

O WHAT A SIGHT, JUST YOU AND I,

MY LOVELY FATHER (ONCE BIG AND STRONG). And last but not least THERE ARE NO TOOLS TO MEASURE LOVE AND ONLY FOOLS WOULD FAIL TO SCALE

YOUR VICTORY. I dont have a father by my side.... So ill use my mom as an example. That moment when i gained independence in badminton, what i mean by that is i usually cry if i lose a match when i was small, but after that i learned how to accept loss, so usually my mom would pretend to lose in oder for me to win, but this time i told her to play the best she could, i played with my mom for the first time with her actual strength, she made me go back and fourth, and in the end i lost, but now i can beat her but i thank her for teaching me to accept losing and moving on with my life, but i didn't give up yet i trained so hard so that i can be the "best" and now i have many rival to face and beat! This connects me to the poem because it shows the bond between me and my mom having fun, just like sonia and her father.

Here is the actual poem by her: Sonia Weitz Victory
