Life In A Mid Summer Night's Dream

How can literature and life be a parallel some may ask, it can be a parallel in ways that people may not think about on a regular basis. Parallels between the genres that we have covered in class and real life are very prominent. The poetry unit in class shows how life is like poetry in the way that everyone sees and feels things in a different manner. Reading A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream, demonstrates how life is like a play,even if it is misled one, also it shows how life is like a triangle of events in which you have no control over. Also, a parallel that can be made is how life is a struggle and how we are not always proud of the actions that we take, but we have to push through to try to make up for them; this can be portrayed by connecting …show more content…
In The Kite Runner the parallels that are made are extremely comparable to real life. In the book, Amir does a variety of things that later in life he isn’t proud of, and he later feels the guilt and the pain that was caused by his actions. For example, later in his adult life Amir begins to feel terrible for not helping Hassan when Assef and his two “sidekicks” brutally assaulted Hassan. In the moment he only cared about his life and about what would happen to him, but as he grew older and learned new lessons and started to think about what he had done he began to realize that he was a terrible person for the actions that he chose to make. When he came to this realization he felt guilt and pain that he wanted to make up for, even though he knew that he could never make up for what he had done (or what he had let happen). This is a parallel to the real world because in life every single person makes mistakes and does things that affect those around us, even the ones that we love and that love us. This part of the book portrays how in real life we do things and say things to others that at the time we may not think is a big deal, but as we grow older and wiser we look back on those moments and realize that what we had done was wrong and as much as we want to/try to we can 't go back and fix those mistakes or make up for them.

Life is a lot life poetry, there are good times and bad times as well as happy and sad times. When writing poetry there is no defined structure that you have to follow, poetry can be about anyone and anything as long as it comes from the heart. Poetry can appeal to a variety of different audiences depending on the topic and the message it 's trying to portray to the reader. Poetry is a lot like life in the way that there’s poetry expressing a montage of different feelings, from being sad and lonely to being happy and feeling powerful. For example, Maya Angelou is a very respected poet who has created brilliant poems, one of my personal favorites from the semester is the poem, Alone. This poem sends a message to all readers that it 's impossible to make it through life alone and without the support of others, even the richest of people or the most confident people in the world need others by their side to be successful in life. Another poem, Acquainted with the Night, is about the loss of hope and how a happy moment can instantly turn into a sad one, he also portrays the message of being lonely, but in the opposite way of Maya Angelou does, he feels that he is all alone, but covers it up by listening and observing others to feel like he is part of the crowd but in reality, he isn’t. This makes the connection to life because in life we every person at some point will feel every type of emotion possible,
