Today is Dr. Reed's birthday! We had a little surprise party for him. He is very appreciated around here, and we were all so happy to celebrate him! We had some great homemade food, and were able to chat with one another. There were other people there that know Dr. Reed and came to celebrate with him, and that is just wonderful! Wonderful to know the impact he has! He is also a very wise man, and funny!
At the beginning of Dr. Reed's class, learning poetry was tough for me. This is because I do not like it. I just can't analyze works in that way. The only way I can is if the meaning is very obvious, like "Scaffolding" by Heaney. Other than that I am pretty much hopeless. I also am not a fan of poetry because I like to read fiction books and what not. Basically, what I am trying to say is that Dr. Reed helped me understand poetry a little bit better! In class, he goes into depth with them, and explores multiple ideas behind the meanings of a piece. I am not saying that I have a new found love for poetry, but I am more "open" to it. Overall, Dr. Reed was able to make an important impact on me. I am grateful for that!
