"Cloudy Day" by Jimmy Santiago Baca is to show how there can always be sunshine on a cloudy day. Meaning that no matter how bad things are, it could possibly b worse, so we should always be optimistic.
The purpose of the flashback is to show how the speaker has changed from the start of his prison time to the end.
As shown in this excerpt from the story, " ...the wind in my face gave me the feeling I could grasp the tower like a cornstalk..." (Lines 15 & 16) This quote shows that even though he was in the prison he still felt powerful.
This one time I was walking upstairs to go to my class and I started running so I would'nt be late. So when i was running up the stairs I tripped and with me tripped 2 other kids that we're infront of me luckily I did'nt hurt myself. I was late to class because of what had happened. Just when I thought things couldn't get anyworse I was walking into class and the teacher screamed at me I got scared and farted infront of the whole class. Everybody laughed at me while i was standing there embrassed i didn't talk or look at anyone for the rest of the class.
The poem was so bad the person wrote a metaphor to explain how bad it is
