Freewrite on"I Felt a Funeral in my Brain"(p.60)Perrine

By simply reading the title of this poem I believed the poem to involve some individual's struggle in comprehending some complex idea. Upon further observation and analyzing of the text, I realized that this was not the case. Instead, it would be more accurate to describe it as an individual's overwhelming feelings concluding with a mental breakdown. The elements of a funeral being described also led me to believe it was something much more emotional than just not being able to understand some foreign idea.
