Reading Response #3

I found a website that is dedicated to providing information about American Poets. The website is called http://www.poets.org/. I found this website when I googled Sylvia Plath. The reason I know this information is reliable is because it is provided by a reputable organization, the Academy of American Poets, and there are many references listed by the website. This website gives an autobiography of Sylvia Plath's life and even descibes the places she has lived, one which is included in the story. This information has helped me understand where the story takes place and also how the little boy in the story must have felt in her presence, even though she was not famous yet, to see all the papers scattered around her house and the poor condition she was in, and then to find out how famous she had become after her death must have been quite the ordeal. This information gives me, not only a better understanding of the story, but also after learning more about her, it makes the story more memorable.
