"Arson" & "Rewinding an Overdose on a Projector"

  • I think that the line breaks do help make this a poem because it shows us what’s going to happen next and this can be from someone's perspective of what's going on. If this poem was made without line breaks I think it would still be a poem but it will be hard for people to understand what's going on in the poem.


  • The “we” in line 9 would be described as 2 different people because it says “two minds”.





  • What the title does in the story is that it helps us understand what the author is trying to do in the poem and helps us understand it more.

  • I would need the title in the last 5 lines in the poem because the last five lines talk about films and burning it and in the title it says overdosing on a projector which is where you watch films on and also when you burn a film you're overheating the projector.

  • I think that the narrator for this poem is the author of this poem and the reason why I think that is because he is telling the story of the boy. And the reason for the word “I” in the final scene of the poem and its relation to the “boy on the floor” is that i think that the word “I” and the “boy on the floor” is one person.

  1. i agree the line breaks in the poem provide w way to understand the poem more clearly.Itv makes you understand where the story is going.

    the last 5 lines of the poem stand out since it talks about the title and the actions that came afterward making you understanding the poem more.

  2. Can you say more about why you think the narrator is the boy on the floor, Stacy? I don't read it that way. Don't most narrators use the word "I" when they're talking about themselves?
