I don't really know where to start out with my blog this week. I did learn a lot of things, and I could write a lot about how I learned to revise my pieces by commenting on them, but there's another topic that isn't sitting well with me that I want to write about.
I've noticed a reoccurring topic and literature and poetry, and it's sex. Coming from a conservative, Christian point of view, the use of sex as a casual topic for many of the poems and pieces we read in class is kind of concerning. Of course I know that this is something that is relevant in many of my peers lives and I'm not here to judge them for doing things that are below my personal standards, but I'm having a hard time understanding why class is somewhere appropriate to be constantly talking about sex like it's a casual topic. Over the last two weeks my friend and I have had many conversations about this, and I've compiled a list of things in my head that would be more worthwhile to write about in poetry and present to a group of teenagers than sex, so I'm going to list them here to add more words to my blog and stress how inappropriate and out of context the poetry and literature containing the topic of sex is in this class. We could listen to poetry about dogs, family, nature, food, skydiving, babies, farmers, etc. Okay so these aren't really relevant or interesting topics either, but they still are more appropriate to talk about in a classroom that's not health class.
