Blood Dazzler by Patricia Smith (first half)

Reading like a writer
Break the piece down paragraph to paragraph(or section by section). How does each piece act as a building block?

I chose the poem that we discussed in class. Won`t be but a Minute (Page 10)

The fist paragraph is about how the owners of the a dog talk about how they going to leave him at the house during the storm. The think its not going to be a bad storm anyway and they just can come back after and get him. The just want to leave him some food and some water. They make it seem like its not going to be a "big deal". But they also know that they cant take the dog with them anyway.
The second paragraph is about how how the neighbour can watch the dog while the owners are gone. and one of the most important parts in that poem is:
"You heard the man-he said Go- and you know white folks don't warn us 'bout nothing unless they are scared too."
This part changes the whole poem. Specially with that racist tone. But also the whole language is with an southern accent which makes this poem so different to a "normal" poem. I like here still a lot. I makes it much more interesting to read.
