Blog # 4: Reflection.

First I have to start saying that I have never seen any literature in English. However, I took some literature in my country (in Spanish), which was very much easier than in English. So before coming to this class I started asking my friends, who already had taken ENG-102, how the class is. After asking my friends I felt comfortable and “ready” to start this new class. So far, this two weeks have been kind of a lot of reading, so when you say(professor): "please always read twice every poem", my friend and I laughed about that because being English my second language and living here just for awhile, if an English speaker has to read it twice to understand and get the meaning of the poem properly, in my case, I have to read it at least four times to get it(not always). I also liked blogging. I have never done this before but I think blogging is a nice way to learn and see others’ work.

  1. Been there, done that. I STILL have to read a poem in Spanish 4-6 times to even get close to a clue. Still love it though. However, tone I can get pretty quick. Tone is how the words "taste", especially in Spanish.
