Poetry

I have never really liked to have to read poetry in highschool but that is because it was usually boring and hard to follow. After reading Chapter 18 I believe that I was not reading poetry in the right way at all. I was not asking questions and wondering why the poet did the things he/she did. I knew poets used a lot of metaphors but I must have had a horrible teacher because she never made sense of anything and she would only allow the poems to have one meaning the way she saw it. This made class very frustrating and confusing because poems impact me differently than others due to the experiences I have went through.

I am kind of excited for this next unit it will definetly be different than some of the stories we have been reading.
