[…] boys

don’t write poetry.

Girls do. 

O: Jack does not want to write poetry because he thinks poetry is for girls.

N: He seems very certain that poetry is for girls.

He seems to have some existing beliefs/assumptions about poetry. (This seems quite different from my personal understanding of poetry.)

W: What made him believe that poetry is for girls? What is it about poetry that makes him think it is associated with girls?

What does Jack think boys should write?
