Reading The Giaour

Last week in my Comp II class we went over The Giaour, which is a super long poem. The poem was hard to understand. I would have to read a couple of lines over and over before I would be able to get a since of understanding for what is trying to be said. I am glad that we went over The Giaour in class, because without the help of our teacher, Ms. Hodges, I am sure I wouldn't have understood the meaning of the poem at all.
