A New Understanding?
I do not really think my view changed that much during the writing process of our first paper. I did a lot of pre-writing thinking in order to isolate exactly what I wanted to speak about particularly in "The Chrysanthemums" and "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place". Because I put a great deal of thought into the paper before i even started writing anything down, I did not really need to change my opinion all that much, if at all. I do know,since poetry is my weakest part of English, that I will have a lot of changing opinions when it comes to analyzing poetry critically, but i could surprise myself depending on the topic.

Yes, doing a lot of thinking and analyzing before writing is a good way of planning out an essay. Unfortunately, that process of planning is still not helping me, but glad to know that you are doing well! What kind of process did you take? Maybe it will help me out in the future. Also, maybe you could try to use the website http://www.shmoop.com/poetry/ to help you clarify some concepts that you cannot understand when reading the poems =)This website has helped me a lot so far.
ReplyDeleteI think poetry is an inferior form of writing because it is unnecessarily complicated. Poets need to express their thoughts better.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why poetry is always associated with flowers. Because not all poetry is about flowers and love. Although Edgar Poe theorized that all poetry should be about a beautiful woman.
