  1. Gabe,
    I truly felt that your butterfly was truly unconvention in the most perfect of ways! I truly enjoyed what you were able to do with the corks as you placed them on your butterfly! Your butterfly, and explanation, truly helped me fully develop the idea behind both the poem and your interpretation of it. I found a true greatness within the fact that you were able to have so many elements (from the biohazard sign to that of the ankh) and efficiently tie them together. You did a phenomenal job when both presenting and the explaining the change of emotion from the writer (which reminds me a bit about Elie Wiesel for some reason.) I was wondering, are you aware about what happened to Eva in the end? Her writing certainly left me with an abundance of questions such as does her heart beat change because she is close to death or someone else? Did she fully understand everything happening around her at the age of 12, it seems to me such a young age to understand the evils you face? Great job on the butterfly Gabe!

  2. Gabe,
    I really liked how you took two aspects from the poem and focused on them. Since you put those aspects on each wing of the butterfly, it helped my understand the poem and your butterfly even more. Great job!

  3. I really like your interpretation on different quotes. When I first read the poem I was a bit confused but when I read your butterfly points everything was much clear. Everything is all very well connected. Your butterfly has a lot of texture which relates to the poem. There are different moods in your poem and you portrayed that very well in your butterfly by the colors on different sides. Another thing I loved is how you explained the cloud represents a concentration camp. The cloud is blocking the sun, which is the author's pov of life. That was very unique to incorporate weather to represent something. Excellent job, Gabe!

  4. Gabriel,
    You did a very good job explaining the meaning behind the symbols such as the teardrop that represents sadness, but I would like to know why you chose to use corks on your butterfly. Do they represent something? or are they just being used to keep your materials in? Other than that, the way that you differentiate the two sides of the death camps through your poem. The Nazi side is shown very well through your red feathers, and the side shown to the public does look very friendly, as if the Nazi's were doing it for the Jewish. You show the change in sides through yellow feathers and the Jewish cross, so I was just wondering why you picked yellow. Other than these few misunderstandings, you did a very good job explaining every piece of your butterfly, and you obviously worked hard on it. Great job.

  5. Your organization of the butterfly was of high quality. The way you change the colors really represents the poem and the changing mentality that the author expresses throughout their work. I like how you actually looked up a picture of the icy scythe, and then drew it out and explained its importance. Your butterfly was definitely one of the most creative, and material useful ones of the class. I recommend though, before posting to check spelling and grammar. There were a few instances in which you had misspelled words. Also I was a bit confused because at times you referred to the author as a he and at others as a she. Do the corks have a symbolic significance or were they just used as material? Great job, your butterfly is elaborate and colorful.
