Aguilera: Lot's Wife

This critical response for Lot's wife is very..whats the perfect word..inspiring? Already knowing this story of Lot's wife from the Bible, it seemed like this poem took a different turn and perspective of things. Reading in details the tragedy of Lot's wife could be clearly understood as a lesson. The lesson of this would be to listen and obviously not look back on bad situations that could, possibly stop you in your tracks to where you're going. Even though it was for the better of Lot's wife she couldn't bare the memories that had been in the city she grew up which is perfectly understandable but when trying to better a family she couldnt do it. There are situations like this still happening today with teens, adults, and everyone choosing the "wrong" crowd and end up hurt maybe loosing a life possibly. This poem was a good one to learn from that we should all look back and just read over from time to time just to see the direction we are heading in life.
