I teach that verse (but only the first one, and I skip Dirt's intro) to middle school English students as a way to show them what poetry CAN be as opposed to what they think that it HAS to be. (also, analogy, metaphor, etc...)

Aside from being a well-written, engaging, even commanding, story, this novel may be the best socio-political thing I've ever read - fiction or otherwise. I feel strongly enough about this that I am going to try to start teaching this novel in my Advanced Literature class in high school.

What was your initial motivation in writing this story, and why did the movie break my heart?
