Final Discussion Board Adib Sharif

During this semester, online classes were a bit of a challenge for me, and I picked up two jobs recently. However, the times we had to do readings for this English class, I was actually intrigued. I had much previous knowledge about Shakespeare especially and the poems in general. I wouldn’t necessarily say I had a favorite reading, but I rather enjoyed reading the poems. Even since high school, I have always appreciated and took interest in poetry. The idea of not knowing what to expect and how to analyze it entrains and stimulates my way of thinking while reading. To seem to know what something means, but it may mean the opposite is almost like a mental adrenaline rush. This semester, our professors provided our class with various types of poems with a diversity of authors. For many of the other readings, the author was also chosen very strategically and for good reason. I must admit, some of these literary pieces that we have read are indeed true works of art.
