The beauty of poetry to be so simple yet so easily complicated.
Sometimes a spoon is just a spoon.
Ms. Yu has mentioned to me the thoughtful insights you have regarding the analysis of poetry. You remind me of when I was going through my English Literature and Art History major. We would look at paintings and analyze the way people stood, the way people sat, the way people looked or did not look at each other and the colour they were wearing. At the time, I had a question, why can't the painting just be pretty. Now, I have begun to realize there is a joy in the puzzle. I can understand it from the point of view of a literary expert but I can also understand it from mine and that is okay. I can be critical but I can also be simple.
The ability to look at issues, objects, experiences and topics from multiple perspectives gives you wisdom. That wisdom is knowledge and that knowledge gives you a sense of power. A power to see what is the author saying, not saying, meaning and not meaning. In the end, you can choose to see a deeper understanding about life, humanity or just see what is on the page.
At least, you have the ability to do so. That is the intellectual part of being an intellectual.
I hope that gives you some insight about poetry and analysis.
Talk to you soon,
Ms. Chan
P.S. The Outlaw passion in writing is missed in my current English 10.
Definition of Outlaw Passion --- Creative, deep, insightful, mature, thoughtful, entertaining, engaging, different, unique and makes the reader anticipate the next sentence. Touches the heart. Persistent. Determined. A masterpiece on its own. When I read it, I want to jump up and down and show the world. (Qualities of a perfect mark)

I just lose myself by the unfair,heartless,bored world. I don't know how to write,because somebody negated all my thinking. In fact,I know how to write, but somebody still negated all my thinking. How autocratic the world is!!!!
This is beautiful... I love the imagery and sensory words.
