Poetry Project

For this project, we had to pick a Spanish author and one of his poems. For all the components, we had to describe the poets life, our personal life, their poem, and then create a poem based on the themes in the poem. My poet was Mario Benedetti. His themes in the poem were about love and happiness. I chose to incorporate those themes, along with the requirements like all the tenses we needed, to make the poem about someone close to me. This project gave us a chance to be free and express our-self by writing openly in a different language. I think this was one of the better projects because we really got to connect to it.
