Looking Over the Task at Hand

So let's see if I can sum up what I accomplished in my poems. Well to me the stories really didn't make that much sense so I began to look up little words that I was confused about; like Hessian and Farm Labor Transport. Really just trying to get a grasp on what the story might actually mean. Like why a witch would have gold or why migrant workers used tickets instead of money. Well, research helped mostly with the Peggy Clevenger story and how she might or might not be a witch during a witch hunt. Then it was more of cutting out unnecessary words and trying to arrange the lines that remained in a cohesive pattern; into a story that made sense. I really don't think that I accomplished my task to be honest. With the migrant workers, I got a bit of help in figuring out what the main idea was from Professor Zoller. With his suggestions in mind I set to work cutting down the poem and keeping the lines short and to the point. I do think that I did a better job with this one.
