Choose a line or several lines that you find interesting, puzzling, or problematic. In your post do the following:
A. Quote your chosen lines and give the verse number and the line numbers.
B. Then, write a carefully thought-out question about these lines.
C. Next, write a one-paragraph (5-7 sentence) interpretation of this line(s). You will need to make an original interpretation. So, you can either give a very different reading of a line that Sohn interprets, or choose a line that she has not addressed. This is also a short assignment, but it will require some careful thought
