Poetry Wrap-Up
What's on thing you've grown to understand, appreciate, or value about poetry that you haven't in the past?
When I learned that poetry was going to be one of the first topics in this English class, I was, to say the least, not excited. I have never been a fan of poetry simply because I do not understand it a good majority of the time. But as our class got deeper into the unit, I began to change my mind. I started to pick up on more and more as we analyzed poems, and now I can say that truly I appreciate poetry and poets. I never understood poetry because I didn't understand what the author was trying to say in their works, but I see now how with the use of their figures of speech and sound devices that they give their words emotion and depth. The most important thing I can take out of this unit is the respect that I now have for poetry and poets.
