Another week of AP lit down, and many more to go. This week has been the most challenging yet for me, and I feel stressed and discouraged, but I know I need to just continue on. We worked with the poem Bright Star by John Keats this week. It was a beautiful love poem, but for the life of me I could not connect to it. Maybe it's because I have never had a love that strong, or maybe it's that I would never compare my love to a star. I understood the meaning of the poem, but I could not connect to it, could not feel anything as I read it. When trying to analyze the poem, everything felt forced for me, it made sense, yet did not feel like it had meaning.
The poems of the day however, are helping to me enjoy poetry. It’s nice to hear poetry that has a lighter meaning, that gives me emotion. They allow me to find some poetry that I actually like, since I have seemed to hate poetry for so long. As we started our project this week, I am excited to do something that is more in my element. I enjoy independant work and projects, so this is right up my alley. I need to work on doing better when I work in groups. I feel that working on my own gives me confidence, and I can do things my own way without feeling like an idea is wrong. All in all, I enjoy the class and I enjoy how it stimulates my brain. I had a rough week, but who doesn’t from time to time? As long as I push through and persevere, I am not worried. https://www.buzzfeed.com/maritsapatrinos/tips-for-getting-through-this-week?utm_term=.aayBLKExE#.xmxZrax4x
