English teachers in a certain urban school were once criticized for having their students read this poem: it was said to be immoral. What essential poetic device did the critics misunderstand?
The reason that the poem was banned in some schools because of the word jazz! People thought that the word made a sexual reference. She did not intend for the word to be translated in that manner. She used to word jazz to mean cool and layed back. Because of this small misunderstanding people thought this was an immoral word.
