Question: How should i start this!?
im writing an essay about a collection of poetry i read!.
my teacher is all about opinions and stuff, and i want to start it by saying something along the lines of: you should be able to enjoy reading poetry, but when you don't understand what you're reading and your too bored to even finish the poem, its not that enjoyable!.

we cant use second person, which is saying "you"

Please help me!. Ive been working on this forever!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Thesis statement:
I like to enjoy reading poetry, but if you don't understand it or find it boring then it isn't enjoyable!.

To back this up you'd want to bring up confusing or boring examples!. This will work better if you can find a poem or poems you DID like reading, then you can contrast a poem you like to one that bores you!. In that case the thesis changes a bit:
Poems that I understand that aren't boring are much more fun to read!.

Now you can provide some examples of text you understand & what you got from it, and what was exciting or interesting!. Now contrast that with the most boring or hard to follow poem!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
