Week 6 Part II:

I knew there were various things to think about when it came to poetry, however; I had no idea of so many things.  Imagery, Abstract, Denotation, Connotation, Lyric poetry vs. Dramatic poetry.  There is so much to think about, but when I just read a poem, such as those we had for this week, I truly enjoy it more that way than worrying about the above and then some. 
Looking at the selections for this week, I found the poem, "The Unknown Citizen", as the best.  I enjoyed how it can relate to any person who can put themselves in that person's shoes.  I find it relates to many people I know, but also brings me to think of those I wish would be that unknown citizen.  I saw not as a poem about any one person, but rather that this poem can relate to anyone that has those same characteristics.  I hope that some day my family and friends will be able to describe me just the same as this unknown citizen.  I want to be known as being trustworthy, genuine, even keeled, and family oriented.
