         This week I decided to talk about a poem that I read which is "Medusa" by Louise Bogan. When I read the title I thought of the fictional character that is involved with the movies. I thought the poem made me visualize a lot of the stanzas. It used great senses that help out to picture everything out. I liked the part "and the hissing hair" because that simply summarizes what this poem is all about. It's the most important part of the character Medusa which is what makes her scary. I would recommend this poem to someone who enjoys this character and wants another view on this.

         A work of literature that I read this week was "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? by William Shakespeare. Once I noticed who the author was I knew that this was going to be a great work of literature. Even though it might be a bit difficult to understand at first, the sonnet seems to make more sense after reading it a couple of times. I like how the author compared it to a summer day because that sounds really good. It was very detailed which is always important when helping out the reader. I would tell a friend to read this if he or she wants to read something about a calm summer day.

            This week I read another poem called "Rite of Passage" by Sharon Olds. After reading the poem I thought it didn't have a big meaning. To me it was just a simple poem describing a kids birthday party. I disliked it because I thought the author could have described the kid a little bit more. It would have helped with the poem and the point that the author was trying to get across. I did like how it related the kids to trying to be grown men and how they act. I would recommend this poem to people who want an easy read and don't like many details.

                This week we had to read poetry and poems that were each unique in their own ways. One poem that stood out to me was "Lonely Hearts" by Wendy Cope. The reason I liked it was because it contained imagery in which helped me understand the poem in its complete context. One thing I didn't like was that it was difficult to understand who was telling the poem. Other than that it was a great poem with a great use of words that help out support its theme. I would recommend this poem to someone who needs a little pushing towards love and it might just create something.
