Thanksgiving Extra Credit Blog

The most important skill in English that i have learned is to understand symbols and grasp poems. I didn't get to do much of that freshman and sophmore yeah, so all of the poems we have gone over in detail for one reason or another, just help me understand how to recognize symbols and certain ideas when i see them. This is useful because I can insert my own ideas into my writing in a more sophisticated way. Another way it helps is to make reading poetry a bit less boring because i understand whats going on and its not all just mumbojumbo to me. It makes me feel smart that i have a vague understanding of poetry because of this class (sucking up) so i thank you, Mrs. Gilman, for the amazing experience and the sucking of the marrow out of life.
