 Today in class we were given a poem called “Constantly Risking Absurdity” by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. We were then told to take out a two sheets of paper where we would take down notes and answer 9 questions that were on the back of the poem. We then read the poem as a class analyzing it and writing things down. Once we finished taking down notes and analyzing the poem we had to answer questions 1-3 for the last 10 minutes of class and tomorrow we’ll be given the first 15 minutes of class to finish up the rest of the questions
