Model Essay:“Inspired by Arnold Adoff”Model EssayNotesInspired by Arnold AdoffHave you ever thought the sounds of the city were like music?Arnold Adoff did. His poem “Street Music” describes the sounds youhear in the city every day in a musical way. His vivid descriptions ofsound have inspired me to write my own poetry about the music ofmy backyard.Arnold Adoff is a poet and children’s author who was born on July16, 1935 in the East Bronx in New York City. As a boy, he visited thelibrary often and loved to read. When he was a teenager, he spent alot of time listening to music in jazz clubs. This inspired him to startwriting poetry. After graduating from college, Arnold Adoff workedas a teacher and counselor in Harlem. In 1960, he married anotherchildren’s author named Virginia Hamilton, and they had twochildren. In 1968, he published his first anthology with a collection ofpoems by African American writers. As a poet, he became known forhis unique style of “shaped speech” poetry. This kind of poetry haswords that run together or are broken apart. An example of this styleis his poem “Street Music.” Over the years, he has published over 30books. He has also been awarded the National Council of Teachers ofEnglish Award for Excellence in Poetry for Children.Arnold Adoff’s poem “Street Music” describes the sounds of a citystreet like music. He uses lots of vivid words like grinding,slamming, and screeching. His use of vivid imagery to describe thesounds of the city made me feel like I was on a noisy city block.Reading his poem inspired me to write about the sounds I hear everyday in my backyard. Like the birds chirping, the garbage truckbeeping, and dogs barking. I hope the imagery in my poem is as funto read as Arnold Adoff’s “Street Music.”Written by Expeditionary Learning for Instructional ors/11714/Arnold Adoff/index.aspx?authorID 11714, efault.aspx?pageId 865852, offArnold.aspx.32
