How a Young Mind Try To Make Sense Of The Tumultuous World Of Adult Relationships?

I left him many years ago

I left him many years ago. I thought it best that I should go. I was young and didn't know that love would go away. 1 only wanted to be free, to have a little time for me, but I was young and couldn't see that freedom can be shared. So I threw away my wedding ring, and went out to do my thing. Life would be one eternal fling when I was young. Now I live here all alone In a house that's not a home With no one I can call my own, And I've grown old.

Evident in many of Lana's poems is the value she places on her relationship with her children and her role as mother and nurturer even though all her children are grown with children of their own. In "Letter to Tara," Lana writes from the perspective of a child, her daughter, empathizing with how a young mind Omega Replica Watches might try to make sense of the tumultuous world of adult relationships:

To Tara, my best third grade friend I'm moving but I don't know when Mommy and Daddy had another fight Maybe it will be tonight!

Now she said to pack my clothes "Can't stay in this place, heaven knows" I don't want to go, I want to stay But I was just too scared to say

She told me that I should be glad Not having to put up with dad I know I'm gonna miss him so And I bet he'll hate to see me go!

Maybe I can come and play If we don't move too far away So, promise me you'll stay my friend 'til I can see you once again

I won't act this way when I'm grown I'll give my kids a happy home I hope no one can hear me cry P.S. I love you and goodbye.

With the narrative perspective of a young girl, Lana expresses many of the conflicts that complicate her role as a wife and mother. Writing poems seems to be a large part of Lana's literacy experience. These poems express themes from her life experiencemarital conflict, broken family, sudden moves, and a longing for a more stable environment.

At all levels of education, particularly adult education, students like Lana deserve opportunities to make meaningful connections between life and learning actively orienting themselves to the significant events Omega Replica Watches and themes from their lives and gaining greater proficiency in written language in the process. The process of mastering language as a code, governed by rules, is much more meaningful when lessons can be derived from topics, themes, and writings that students themselves create, and "the rules" that govern these writings can be understood as critical thinking about what they want to say. To echo Moffett (1968), the most timely, relevant texts in any literacy classroom are students' own texts. And while Moffett speaks to primary, secondary, and college classrooms, in light of life-span developmental perspectives and the health and healing potentials of expressive writing, his advice is equally pertinent for adult education classrooms.
