Finding Resilience: My Journey with Maya Angelou’s And Still I Rise
Angelou’s collection is undeniably bold, fearlessly confronting adversities and transforming them into rightfully claimed victories. Her work eloquently speaks to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of prejudice and discrimination, evoking a profound sense of recognition within me, despite not being the immediate target audience. Her careful exploration of societal biases serves as both an inspiration and a reminder of the resilience inherent within us all. She taught me that you can win without being worse than the enemy.

Sylvia Plath did a spectacular job in expressing herself within the pages of Ariel. Her writing showcases an incredible depth and capacity that draws the reader in. What I gained from reading this collection is a profound sense of her vulnerability, the way she laid herself bare for everyone to see.
