| 阅读理解 A Writing Kind of Day: Poems for Young Poets by Ralph Fletcher is an unusual book.On one hand, it is an interesting, sometimes heartbreaking and often enjoyable, collection of poems written in the voice of a boy in middle school who enjoys writing poetry.One the other hand, it is a book of poetry for teens about the creative process of writing poetry.The book contains 27 poems, one per page.The poetry itself focuses on family, middle school, worries, and writing.The book covers a number of different topics-from the serious, like his grandmother's increasing loss of memory, to the very funny. While the book can be enjoyed just as an interesting book of poetry, it also provides a lot of information and inspiration that will be helpful to young poets.Fletcher's poems about writing show the boy's great interest in writing, his love of words, and his constant search for ideas.In the poem, "Poetry Recipe", the boy writes about trying to write a poem using the recipe, suggested by his friend and finding that it doesn't work for him; he needs his own ingredients. A Writing Kind of Day is suitable for young teens who enjoy reading poetry or who want to write poetry.It mentions a lot of things, such as homework, aging relatives, tests, which middle schoolers deal with.And it would be an excellent book to use in a middle school language arts classroom to show how easily poetry can be reached.Finally, middle school boys who are reluctant (勉强的)readers might enjoy reading it because the book is far shorter than a traditional novel. 1.
