Kudzu

In James Dickey's poem "Kudzu" we understand that fear and ignorance can make a situation worse than what it really is. This poem explains to the reader that kudzu is not an ordinary vine but a killer vine. Kudzu was introduced to the United States in 1876 at the centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Hollis 1 of 3). Japan imported kudzu to landscape their elaborate garden (Hollis 1 of 3). In the south kudzu can grow one foot a day …

…the farmer slept. <Tab/>In the end we all learn that education and experience makes us all change. Next year for this farmer will be better. Kudzu will not have supernatural, military, and communication powers. The old legend in Georgia will be just a legend nothing more. Ignorance and fear are all of our worst enemies. We all learn that if you overcome fear and ignorance than we can overcome anything.
