Over the break we had to do the poetry presentation and we had to memorize our 14 LINE SONNETS!!! Plus Ms. Hegeman made ME go first! She said that life is unfair so I had to go first. I did good though for my first time because I stuttered like once or twice, but I knew my poem because I had studied it over the break line by line. This presentation made me be able to memorize and present poetry and be able to explain what the poem means. Even though, my interpretation was kind of wrong I got most of it right. It was just one be part that messed me up. I have realized that I really `need to work on my interpretations and trying to figure out what the poems mean. However, it is hard for me because every time I think I know what a poem is talking about, I get it wrong or only get half right. I guess I just have to keep working on trying to understand what I'm reading and try annotating more because that may help me figure out what's going on in the poem without asking for help. I like poetry sometimes, but I hate when I can't understand it and it's really the language they use that gets to me because I can't understand exactly what they mean. Anyways, hopefully I did a good job on my presentation and get a good grade because I really did try to interpret it and memorize it and have it ready for the day we come back.
