OPPOSING VIEWPOINT

 

Write a reply from the opposing point of view. This poem indeed has a DISTINCT PERSPECTIVE. Your job is to rewrite the poem from the opposite perspective in support of the Confederate Army.

 

Get to know some of the views of the Confederate Women by reading examples of their poetry.

 

While your poetry does not have to be as lengthy or complicated as the examples that you viewed, you should incorporate verses that accurately depict the thoughts and ideas of the Civil War Era. Also you should write this response from a first person perspective as if you were speaking directly to Ms. Leah Blackman.
