This poem to me is very influential im only 14 years old but the meaning of
this poem touches me. Mayo Angelo shows shes not scared to voice her
opinion but it dosent have to be in a loud crazy way its like she has a
seceret but she shares by the stide in her walk or her body language. What
i get from the poem is that people are always going to try to bring you
down but if you like believe in yourself and you know that you got it going
on it shouldnt phase you. All these things are already set against her
being a woman then add a ton more tribualtions because shes black but
despite all that still i rise

Wow for me as a young black teenage girl it is amazing to hear a black
woman to talk with so much power after all she has been through it makes me
realise that her and so many other black people have paved the way for
young black youths to make something of our lives and after reading this
poem i know that through whatever problems come my way whether they would
be racial or sexism i know that i will rise because after all the pain,
suffering and tourture my ancestors have been through i have not come this
far to let them down as the poem says I am the dream and hope of the slave
i rise i will rise and i will keeep on rising

I knew few years back in Houston the Asian community made this poem into a
Play....Did any songwriter adapt this poem into a song?
Especially the following sentences are so powerful ...
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
you may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.
I wish that I can sing it.
