Testament

Boyle's role as a professor in the 60s is documented powerfully in the testament she wrote after going to jail for demonstrating with her radical students. I like that she referenced classical authors and that she is writing particularly about unity. This intrigued me, because she was nearly 70 years old when sent to jail. Even though she was brought up in an entirely different generation, she still related to her students and their beliefs. I think that the most important aspect she is arguing for in this poem is for individuality and freedom from a strict government.
