This past week we began reading some poetry more in depth and learned some points on analyzing poetry.

I learned some more about the mechanical side of poetry and read some poems that I enjoyed, and also a few that I did not. 

This week I received insight on how to analyze a poem properly, and also the different types of poems and how they are mechanically different.

I really have no new observations or questions that I have formed over the past week.

I read the poem "We Wear the Mask" by Paul Laurence Dunbar. As far as technical analysis, I noticed that this particular poem followed the rhyme and rhythm pattern for a Rondeau. I also felt that the subject matter was correct for this poetic type, seeing as this poem seemed to refer to spirituality. Overall, I personally liked this poem, because of its particular subject matter and its flowing rhyme scheme.
