This week we spent a lot of time reading and analyzing The Eagle. For me, it helped me learn and improve my analytical skills especially in poem reading. I have always been a person who could see and understand metaphors, similes, personification and other literary elements but struggled to talk about or explain them. I feel as though they are kind of a challenge to talk about because everyone interprets them a little bit differently. I am not typically a huge fan of poetry at all, I find it even more of a challenge for me to write about because the easiest things for me to write personally are things I could almost ramble about, things I could go on about for hours, and poems are not that. I still struggle to write a paper longer than a couple paragraphs about a six line poem, let alone a couple pages. There was a time restraint but I stopped typing before the time was up because I genuinely just felt like I had typed everything I had to say about it like there was nothing more to discuss. It helped this week to practice this and be able to discuss with my group and the class about what we interpreted from this poem. Every group did kind of come up with something different but in this case that is not necessarily a bad thing. For me, this is something I really need to improve on, even though I believe English/language arts are my strong suit, within that, poetry is sort of my weak spot.
