When we started discussing ideas for the epic poem we wrote as a class, I thought that it was going to turn out completely insane. After reading through the entire thing, I think it's safe to say that I was absolutely right. As crazy and hilarious as it is, it's amazing that we can all say that we wrote an epic poem. At first glance, it seemed to me that a poem about Justin Bieber's lost manhood couldn't possibly be in the same category as Milton's Paradise Lost, but our poem has every quality required of it to be considered an epic. It just goes to show that anything, even something as complicated as an epic poem, can be made modern and fun.
Writing our own Epic Poem was a great assignment, and probably one of my favorites this semester. I loved how everyone was responsible for their own segment, and it was great to read how everyone tied their parts to the previous ones.
I loved it! I agree, Taylor, that it was awesome to see that something that is typically seen as "complicated" and out of our league can be seen as fun!!!
