 In class we were each given a different letter either A or B. Which ever one we got was the assessment that we were supposed to do and each had different codes to get into. There was 30 questions on the assessment which was on the poem “Constantly Risking Absurdity”. The questions asked about what different lines meant as well as having to give the definition for words that were used in the poem but in a different literary way that they were used.
