Greetings! Our third week at Bronzeville Classical was all about metaphor, one of the building blocks of poetry. We took a look at “Who I’ll Always Be” from student poet Riti Shrestha as our inspiration. Riti wrote about being a positive presence. Bronzeville students took note and described themselves with funny, vivid, and thought-provoking metaphors.
