 Today we read another poem by William Carlos Williams called "This is just to say". What I learned from todays lesson is the use of certain language makes a text be perceived differently depending on the person. The speaker in the text appeared to be apologetic but certain phrases made it apparent that the short poem carried sarcasm.  How this can be used in the future is when encountering text where the true intentions and not readily apparent. Tuesday was a busy day where i had a lot of work but it was okay.

Class was long since we had a block schedule.
