The more we read poetry, the more I am understanding it. I still think that it is a bit odd, but it makes more sense. The poem I analyzed for my blog post was a little short, but I saw the patterns being used and writing techniques. I was a little annoyed when the author changed perspective in the poem though. I was reading about the boy being whipped and then he said "My" and I got really confused because up to that point it was in third person.
I also read some more Eragon, but I never have much time for it. In it, the dragon is still growing very fast, but he realizes he knows almost nothing about dragons. When he gets the chance, he goes to see Brom, a man who lives in the nearby village who always tells stories of dragons. He is hoping Brom can help him learn something. His whole conversation with Brom was a little awkward for him because he had to hide his emotions when Brom said certain things and make up excuses for the questions he was asking so Brom wouldn't know he had a dragon. That made it kind of funny to read.

Hey Brandon, I still don't really understand the point of poetry but it makes more sense. I also heard eragon was a good book.
