This Is Just To Say

I admit that sometimes I feel scared in Dr. Edwin’s class even though there’s nothing wrong with him or his teaching. However, no matter how scared I am, I always enjoy his class because I feel lots of input was given to me. For instance, in the previous lesson, we learned something about the poem “This Is Just to Say” by William Carlos Williams. Honestly, before he explained to us what the poem was all about, I never imagined that it could have other meaning which has something to do with sex. When I first looked at the poem, I just read it, understood it, and perceived plums as fruits and nothing else. Only after Dr. Edwin’s explanation that I started to see the poem in a different way. Now, I realize and more appreciate the beauty and the ambiguity of words and how sometimes, we can fooled by the use of certain words, even simple word like ‘plums’.
