IT emergency lesson 2

Hey hey.. Haha 2nd day of IT on9 lessons
Will be touching on famous poets and stuff like that. ^^

Question: Choose a poet by going online to a couple of the internet sites such as Poets.org (Academy of American Poets website) or American Poetry Online. Blog on your favorite poet. Your entry should be approximately 400 words.

Answer: Hmm.. I would say that Robert Pinsky is my favorite poet. I find Robert intriguing as he uses figurative language in many of his poems and exaggerates and emphasizes on his main points, using words to play with our emotions like making us sad at one moment and happy at another. he also toys with the sounds and rhythms of sentences in his poems.
Another point that shows he is intriguing is from his interview with Encarta Yearbook. He arouse our interest when:
Encarta Yearbook asked, '' Do you see poetry flowering or withering as the next generation grows up in a world connected by the Internet? "

And he replied, '' Poetry seems to be flourishing in reaction to the fluidity and highly duplicable, mass quality of electronic media. I like my computer, my TV, my VCR, my CD player—but they are by their nature, each of them, inherently a mass medium. The CD performance happens in no one place, but is created electronically and can be multiplied indefinitely. The poem takes place in each reader's voice. We crave both. "

And he ended it with "The human appetite for art, I believe, is infinite."
This line shows his passion and motivation to poetry writing and his believe that poetry writing will be flourish in the years to come.

Who is he:
Robert Pinsky is an American poet and former Poet Laureate of the United States (1997-2000). He is known for his innovative, personal style, and his use of contemporary themes. Pinsky is a professor at Boston University where he teaches in the graduate creative writing program.
His collection of essays:
Landor's Poetry was published in 1968 and was followed by other essay collections in 1977 with The Situation of Poetry and Poetry and the World (1988) which was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award in Criticism. He received a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship in 1974 and in 1975 published his collection of poems, Sadness and Happiness.

3 poems done by the poet:
Impossible To Tell by Robert Pinsky
Ode To Meaning by Robert Pinsky
To Television by Robert Pinsky

In To Television, he describes about the television in his house. I esp like the 1st stanza:
Not a "window on the world"
But as we call you,
A box a tube
Where he describes vividly what is a television and how it looks like.
In Impossible To Tell, there's one line which I extremely fell in love with:
And brittle leaves that touch and die and suffer
The changing winds that riffle the gutter swirl

IT emergency lesson 1

Poem^^ ( and a long one -.- )
The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
How are the figurative language used in the poem? Give the specific word(s), explain what type of figurative language it is and why the poet chose to use this figurative language?
Answer:
It is used as metaphors and hyperbole.
'Two roads diverged in a yellow wood' is a metaphor as they are choosing road like choosing paths in life. Some roads are dangerous like some paths of life are risky. The poet uses metaphor here as he wanted to emphasis on the importance of decision-making.
In Line 2, 3 and 4, 'and' is a hyperbole and is used as a exaggerated statement. The poet wants to invoke an emotion and exaggerate that he can only make one choice. And he had only one chance to make the right move.
Question:
Tell us why you like this poem in no less than 100 words.
Answer:
I like this poem as the poet uses the roads of a forest to link with paths of life. He emphasizes on how important his decision was and he had only one chance to make the correct move. The poet includes interesting punctuation which tell us about the poet's feeling like the dash in stanza 4 ,line 3. It tells us that the writer paused, probably, hesitating and pondering on which path to take. He too uses quite a lot of figurative language which makes the poem more realistic and interest the reader more.
Finally,after much decision,the writer chose the one less traveled, which presents the writer's personality,he is an adventurous and curious man, has the courage and willing to take risks.

Which part of Village by The Sea do you like best? State your reasons.

Haha I'm going to do another Language Arts Blog Prompt and as usual, in Perfect English ^^
So, I've done the blog prompt on my least favorite character, if you have read my previous post ( Not the one on random pics of course! xD) and I've stated that Hari's father is my most disliked.
Hmm.. I would say that Hari's journey in Bombay was the part which I like best. Firstly, Anita Desai's describes very well the urban people and their living lifestyle in Bombay, about how bustling and hectic the living environment is. She too emphasises that there are also some peple like Hari living in urban areas as in the case of Jagu's family, who lived in shacks made out of rags and flattened tin cans called 'zopadpatties'. I also like how Desai describes that there are also caring and kind-hearted people in the world, despite the ever changing climate and technology that we're having now. Desai also adds in some hurmour on some parts of the dialouge conversation between Hari and Mr Panwallah and gives the reader a sense of dread and suspense at the coconut seller and begger part, where she said that '' By day he uses his knife on coconuts but by night he uses it on..." keeping the reader in shock and suspense.
So, to conclude, Hari's trip to Bombay is the part that I like best but I would say that every part of the book is enjoyable as Desai writes soo well, playing around with our emotions and keeping us in suspense most of the time. ^^
