Week 7

More poems! The poems weren't that difficult to understand this week. Except for the merman one. I really just had no idea what it was suppose to mean. The other two were fairly easy and I enjoyed reading them. When I read "The Last Duchess" I thought it was kind of sad that he could just treat his wife like something to be discarded. To him it wasn't a big deal. I guess it was that way because he knew that there would be another wife waiting for him and he could do the same to her if he wanted. I'm glad I didn't live back then!

More Poems

Well even though we are getting back to some poetry I feel better about interpreting them than I did the first time. Maybe they are just easier to understand this time or maybe I'm just not making it as hard as I did the first time. I am interested to see what the Victorian Age is all about. It seems to be happier and nicer than what we just studied.

Frankenstein

Frankenstein has been an interesting book. At times it was hard to get into and follow. But then it got easier. When I saw that we were going to be reading it I wasn't all that excited. In high school we attempted to read Frankenstein but my teacher decided that we weren't going to anymore. I don't know if it was because of our lack of interest and understanding of the book or if he just didn't want to read it anymore. I definitely like reading a book better than trying to interpret poetry. Well that is all for now!

Week 4

So this week has been very busy. I was happy there weren't any poems to interpret. I am looking forward to seeing what happens in Frankenstein. In my english class my senior year of high school we started reading Frankenstein. Then all of a sudden my teacher decided we weren't going to read it anymore and that was the end of it. It seems like it was harder to read and understand the first time. Well that's all for now have a great week!
