If I'm asked to annotate something, like an excerpt from a poem, a random document, or whatever, what does that exactly mean?
I never really saw the necessity of it, since I've felt it wastes time, especially if it's on a timed exam, and I'm trying to understand the meaning of the document in the first place.
But if I'm required to do it, what do I do exactly? Do I define words I don't understand, do I circle words which grab my attention, showing the intensity of a phrase or something?
I'm sorry, but I don't see the point of wasting my time to find words with a similar theme, and finding some kind of imagery, when I don't even know what the story is about.
