I watched Amanda Fernandez recite the poem unknown girl in the maternity world. Throughout the whole poem, Amanda had very appropriate physical presence in which she didnt make too many gestures with her hands, she didn't act out what she was saying, and she looked very comfortable up in front of the audience. Not only was her physical presence outstanding but her voice and articulation was flawless. She didn't mispronounce a single word and she made the poem flow out professionally. For dramatization, she even added some tears which greatly enhanced the dramatic effect
As far as the level of difficulty goes, the poem was incredibly long as well as very sophisticated content and very high diction. To have such good articulation and confidence reading a poem of such difficulty and length is very impressive. congratulations to Amanda.
