The week in literature

So, this week we read Great Expectations. This book is long. I think it has around 136,000 pages. Ok, maybe not that many. We also read a poem "Goblin Market". I thought it was a pretty good poem. I had a little trouble in my interpretation of it, though. That is the thing with poems. Maybe it is just me, but they all seem to be open to different interpretations. Maybe, that is why poetry could be compared to lyrical content in song. You hear a song and you can interpret it to fit whatever you want it to say to you. However, the song writer may have had a different meaning when writing the song. Oh well, I have definitely learned a lot more about poetry and authors by taking this class.
