Nina's Blues--------------




In the match up of Let Us Consider and Tornado Child, it was a pretty obvious win. I thought Tornado Child did a much better job of conveying its message. In the match up of This Is a Letter and Nina's Blues, I chose This Is a Letter because I really liked how it emphasized all of the little things that are normally overlooked in life. I also thought that the poetry itself was much more effective than that of Nina's Blues. In the championship it was This Is a Letter against Tornado Child. This is a Letter won because, like in its first round, I thought the poetry was more effective. Also I just really liked the message in This Is a Letter and had to give it its props!
