Togetherness is the key to success  Today my teacher, Mr.Rease, let us gather up into our groups to fix the wrong answers on a test we took last week because we did poor on it as a whole. When I was taking the test last week it was somewhat confusing but when we put our thoughts and ideas together as a group we made a 100 on the test. 

Poem presentation to the class! Today my teacher separated  us into groups and gave each group a poem by Emily Dickinson to analyze. Analyzing this poem wasn’t as hard as analyzing some of her other poems. The poem that my group and I analyzed was called This is My Letter to the World. I really enjoyed this poem because it had many themes and different interpretations of the poem. While presenting this  poem I learned that the word “world” has more than one definition to it. I also recognized that the authors poem was edited because the first line of the poem didn’t match the title of it. All and all it was a great poem and a great productive day in class. 

What a powerful poem!   Today’s lesson was on a poem called I Felt a Funeral in My Brain by Emily Dickinson. I really loved the poem because of its complexity and because it is very powerful. The theme of this poem is that silence can be very powerful. With that being said this poem taught me life lessons as well. I tried my best to analyze the poem on my own and I got very far but with the help of my teacher and classmates I understood it even more. I’m glad that my teacher introduced this author and this specific poem to me because I really enjoyed reading and analyzing it.
