Our fourth reading response will be Hacha by Craig Santos Perez. He is a poet from Guam and this is the very first book written in English by anyone from his Chamorro tribe.

You are to read the whole excerpt. It is prose poetry once again and not as long of a read as Dictee. We will be talking about the aesthetics of this reading and how it can translate to what you all can do in your own works. You are to write the two-paragraph reading response.
