Still I Rise: Maya Angelou

I chose still i rise as one of my poems for my essay. I think this is a great poem. It's very inspirational and very clear to understand. I like how she ends all her stanzas with "still i rise." No mater whose trying to bring her down or what incident shes in,she always tries to think of the positive. My favorite lines are You may kill me with your hatefulness,But still, like air, I'll rise. If you analyze the poem she is ignoring criticism and judgment and that's the best thing to do.
