Evelyn Ramos_Week 7 discussion

I would rate my reading in poems a 5/10, I have always struggled with poems. I always need to re-read it, especially if the poems are complex and have strong vocabulary words that I don’t understand. It helps when there is a definition of the word on the bottom of the page. If not I need to find the definition and re read the poem again. Something that has boosted my confidence in reading poems is in class when it’s read aloud and it’s discussed. I am still not fully confident in reading poems but I have been doing much better in reading between the lines and having an understanding of the overall message of the poems. For example While reading “The Last Duchess”  I felt more confidents I only had to read it twice and I was able to have an understanding.
