For the Art-A-Thon event, I went to “How to Read a Sonnet” with Professor Laura Kolb. The event fit my schedule perfectly so I decided to go to this one to fulfill my assignment. I didn’t have any expectations of learning anything new and I’d be really bored. However, the event was the total opposite. It was a very insightful and enjoyable. From the event, I learned the true meaning and how beautiful Shakespeare’s sonnet was. The fourteen lines were explained so in depth and clear that it made reading the words off the paper so understandable. I really enjoyed the event and gave me a different view of poetry. I used to hate poetry but it never, made sense to me, I never understood what the intentions of every line in a sonnet. It was amazing to know how clever simply fourteen lines could be and were. I was truly amazed by learning how to read, interpret and understand the sonnet. I had a great experience at this event because it really changed my mind and view on really poems. I enjoyed this great learning experience because it was very helpful to know the technical things about a sonnet and finally udnerstand and enjoy a sonnet. After going to this event, I am more interested in reading other sonnets to see if I can interpret and try to understand the sonnet on my own.
