I'm Screwed

[delilah_den]

Okay, so in my English class everyone had to sign up to write and present a position paper. I signed up to write about Jimmy Santiago Baca's book. I didn't know that it was a poetry book.

I suck at analyzing poetry*. I'm going to write about what I barely know anything about and I'm going to have to direct discussion.

Why did I have to choose poetry?



*I do like some poems, such as Wilfred Owen's Dulce et Decorum est, but I usually focus on novels when I'm analyzing something.
