Rita Dove's poem "Dawn Revisited," read alongside Zadie Smith's "Commencement Address at the New School," calls attention to the feelings a person experiences during a time of transition. Is it better to look back where you came from or to jump ahead into the future. YOU MUST USE TEXT EVIDENCE.

I do not have the book so I cannot use text evidence but It is better to jump ahead to the future and not worry about the past because you can't change the past
