Oops

The funny thing about online classes is.....you have to really watch what you are doing. I found out only a few hours that I was supposed to be posting on this site at least once a week. Oops.

I am having a fairly difficult time with the material we are studying in this class. I think this is due to the fact that I am taking an advanced composition course. When I look at one of the poems I have to fight off the instinct to begin bracketing all the clutter that I find. I know that they are poems. I know they follow different rules. But I still want my red pen anyways.

I am eager to move on to prose. I want some concrete images and solid facts. I want to know what is going on in the things that I read.

I find it hard to keep up with the lofty and literary language that many of the other students are using in their posts. I imagine that it sounds like a literary response is supposed to, but the amount of actual information could be put into no more than a few sentences. When I look through my previous posts I find the same thing to be true of myself.
