recast reflection

The recast was challenging because it made me pull the information out of the original text totally out of context. I understand that was the point, but it is hard because you aren't provided with all the information that is necessarily required for the type of text you are creating. For example, a poem generally focusses on emotions and feelings, whereas a newspaper article concentrates on facts and concrete information. It isn't exactly a "walk in the park" trying to get the two to mesh.
