This week has been pretty difficult. The fog days made it impossible to dive into the project that you introduced to us. With the limited time, I felt as though the project wasn't explained as well as it could have. What exactly should our presentation entail? How do the short stories fit into the picture? The same is true with the poem of the week; I think I'm going to run into some problems writing my PoW because we didn't get to discuss it as much as we normally do. Also I am struggling with how to write the PoW's too; I know we went over how to do them the first week of school, but I still don't know what I'm doing. I feel like a refresher might be in order for me, and some others who have expressed similar feelings, to feel more confident when doing this week's poem of the week writing assignment.
One thing I did take away from this week was the apostrophe in the poem "bright star". The speaker was talking to the star, which represented his love, even though that star can't talk back. I felt like this allowed his emotions towards his love to be more clear since he was expressing them to her, rather than talking about her. It’s a concept I had never thought about before, but it seems like it would be very effective in all sorts of poetry, Poetic Apostrophes
