Prompt Response: When I was in 7th to 8th grade My whole grade loved to play four square. the boys would play unfairly though, which was the only bad part. Four square has always been my favorite game to play even though I am much older now. The boys would do things like cut the line, throw the ball unfairly, and just make the girls feel like they weren't as good as the guys. It got to the point where I would speak up, but it would make them more rude and even more unfair. This could connect to the poem from the little boy feeling something is wrong, but not knowing what to do about it. When I was a young girl I also did not know what to do about it. It definitely brings up feelings of being scared and worried for what is to come in the future.
