Poems are a great technique for the depiction of a certain message. According to me, a good poem is well written with the concise and accurate use of language, is extensively engaging and it is relatable. A text which fits this criterion very well is a poem called “Santa Claus” composed by Banjo Patterson.

    He starts to comprehend his harsh behaviours and asks the spirit to 'conduct [him] where you will. I went forth last night on compulsion, and I learnt a lesson…let me profit by it.' The spirit, through Dickens, transports Scrooge to view an affectionate scene during Christmas with the Cratchits, where Tiny Tim's feeble self is seated next to his father. Scrooge feels miserable for the family even though they are 'happy [and] grateful' because it was Christmas time and are always 'pleased with one another and contented with the time'. Dickens, through the Spirit of Christmas Present, has also used caricatures to juxtapose with Scrooge's characterization by revealing that even though on the 'dismal reef of sunken rocks' and in isolation, the lonely men at the lighthouse still 'wished each other Merry Christmas…and struck up a sturdy song', which shows Scrooge that no matter where people are, Christmas is a time for…

    Introduction: “Notice that your judgments of what exists are the same kind of judgments you make about how to live your life. There aren't two kinds of things we do: judge what exists and decide what we want to do about it. Fundamentally, there is one kind of thing we do: live our lives. And we can reflect on this activity more or less abstractly.” This is a quote that really stood out to me while reading this book.…

    Since my high school Creative Writing class will be an elective class that will consist of students in tenth through twelfth grade, I will need to find ways to bring student fun into the learning as much as possible. I have found that students love to eat and socialize, so I will include food, props, and games whenever possible. Difficulty will occur as the norm for class size at my school is thirty-two to thirty-six students, and not all students want to be in the classes where they are assigned. Since a text will not be available for the students, handouts and overhead projections of terminology and examples of writings will be needed. Keeping the class light and the learning fun and engaging at all times will be my goals.…

    Poetry is used as a device to convey confronting concepts to the reader and explore human encounters, which the author communicates through poetic language. In Margaret Atwood’s ‘Christmas Carols’ and Sylvia Plath’s ‘Stillborn’ the application of extended metaphor, persuasive language and juxtaposition generates thought and feeling through poetry.

    The poetry they write do not inspire anybody. Their art does not transport anybody anywhere. The capacity for grandeur and sublime has deserted the creed of the poets in the land of the poet. Neither the subject matter nor the poetic ways in which they convey their message reach the heart and the mind of the readers. The banality of daily life has taken a toll on the poets as they are unable to see anything beyond that.…
