Okay, so maybe I totally missed it, but there was an extra credit reading aloud thing? So you did one of your own personal readings? And if I am not totally off topic, what did you write about? How did you come to decide that you wanted to read about that? And finally, where you freaking out?
So when you mention other readings being cleaner this time then last time, what would you say made for a better atmosphere? And did it make you feel more comfortable with less “pornographic” readings? Obviously. Hahaha.
Did you find other readers to be more experienced than others? Was there one particular reader that you liked the best out of all of the ones that you heard?
I wish I would have listened better so I could have gone, I doubt I would have read because I am a huge chicken. I can perform any character in a play, but putting me on stage reading a poem is a totally different story. Probably because I wouldn’t have my character identity to hide behind.
That’s neat that you experienced that, hopefully you do continue to do readings!
Hey Meagan,
ReplyDeleteI think he said that going to the reading would get one a few extra points in class.
I read a few of my poems. Hmmmmm . . . What did I write about? Learning Korean, My Stuttering, and I attacked a lot of people through using Epigrams.
No real reason for choosing the first two poems other then I was told they were finished. I read epigrams because I was really nervous and thought they were at least witty.
I think it was a way better atmosphere(at least for me-- and last time I think a few people left early because of it, though I can't prove it).
Everyone else that read seemed a lot less nervous than me, but maybe I only think that because I was, as you put it, "freaking out".
