IB Program
Alice Walker's poems are connected to the IB program because she talks about taking risks in life. In IB we approach unfamiliar situations and uncertainty with courage and forethought, and have the independence of spirit to explore new roles, ideas and strategies. We are brave and articulate in defending our beliefs. She talks about standing up for our rights and beliefs. She has gone through this herself. In her time people criticized people by the colour of their skin and were treated badly for no exact reason, She took risks in life. Sometimes she didn't and hid in a corner. Now in her poems she tells us, about what she has gone through and tells us not to make the same mistakes as her. Don't care what you look like and believe in yourself.
