For Heidi With Blue Hair.
I have chosen this poem because I think the girl in the poem has a strong point and I admire her for standing up for herself. Although I don't have a personal connection with this poem as such because I have never done something so outrageous to stand up for what I think is right, I can relate to how she feels that she is constantly controlled by other people and their views.
The point of the poem is dealing with independence and growing up into an individual. Heidi is becoming her own person and is learning to harness the help of others. The poem addresses the matter of authority and how much authority is reasonable. "For Heidi With Blue Hair" also shows us how important the bond between parent and child is, as without her father's help and support Heidi wouldn't have achieved her own independence. We learn from the poem that we can't get what we want if we don't fight for it and Heidi is doing exactly this.
