I hate reading comprehension in my Basic Spanish class.

I don’t know if my frustration matches that of people who live outside of Puerto Rico, but I absolutely despise being assigned a poem every day and then having to analyze it in 300 words. After a while, it becomes straight-up monotonous. One time, we had to read this ridiculously long poem, which already sounded like enough work, but then we had to listen to four different versions of the same poem being spoken by different people and write a 300-word analysis about the whole thing.

The worst part is that the majority of these Latin American authors use OLD Spanish, with extremely difficult vocabulary and messages hidden underneath an excessive pile of, sometimes completely nonsensical, metaphors. And every time I feel like I got the hang of what this authors talking about, my professor immediately shuts me down and says that I'm wrong.
