Reading journal
Lately most of my reading has been online through fan fictions and online comics. However, I always keep a book of poems by Robert Frost with me in my bag. Poetry is my favorite form of writing to read. The expressions and emotions that can be put into a poem is one of the most wonderful parts of writing. The poem in the book that I am most in love with is the Road Less Travel By. Many people say that as kind of a way to get away with not reading poetry. I like this poem because everyone says Frost is talking about taking a path in life that only a few might take, but recently I read an article about in an interview that was not what the poem was about at all. The poem was about how no matter what paths we take in our lives our decisions are still random, and there is not a for sure place where we are going to end up. Someone can land themselves in prison not, but still end up having a decent life. The world is not just something that can be predicted. There are many misconceptions of what a work of art may or may not mean. Poems seem to be the most hard to read to some extent. Some of them are straight forward, or we feel that they are straight forward, while others are not. In the end it is up to the creator to decide what they meant when they wrote it, and even then that can change.
