Change Change
 
From White to Black
 
From Brown To Blue
 

 
 
 
Chameleon Brown by Lou Syguia is a poem about changing your appearance to fit in with people in your life. In today society appearance is everything, you cant even walk outside your house without someone judging you. Everyday of every moment you are getting judged by someone. Getting judged often leads to bullying especially in schools, everyday you always here of some little boy or girl killing them selves because they are getting picked on in school. people have to understand that everyone is different and they need to except that.
 
 
In the poem Chameleon Brown it says "change change like a chameleon do from white to black form brown to blue" this means that if your not one color than you need to change yourself to fit in with others. Why should anyone change who they are and what they look like to be excepted. In Chameleon Brown it also says "that clothes are not the skin of the man just as skin is not the essence." this means that it shouldn't matter what you were but whats on the inside.
 
 
When I moved to California, I notice that fashion was a big thing out here. If you didn't dress a certain way,  people wouldn't talk to you. I wasn't used to people getting made fun of because of what they wore. It was a big culture shock for me. Being the person I'm I did not adjust well to California's style and I knew that who ever talked to me is because they liked me for me and not what I wore. Its been 6 years and I still have they same friend that I did when I moved out here and I can say that they will be by my side through thick and thin. Change is a big part of life and you have to go through it everyday of your life, but remember change what needs to be change don't change yourself to someone you're not.

  2. The change, change poem reminds me of all the kinds of identities, masks, and postures we take on in different situations. Even in a single day, I play out a variety of roles - teacher, son, brother, uncle, student. It's like we're each a "bag" full of different identities!
