10,668 wordsWHY WE SHOULD READ POETRY WHY should one read Poetry That seems to me a good deal like asking: Why should one eat One eats because one has to, to support life, but every time one sits down to dinner one does not say, 'I must eat this meal so that I may not die. ' On the contrary, we eat because we are hungry, and so eating appears to us as a pleasant and desirable thing to do. The necessity for poetry is one of the most fundamental traits of the human race. But naturally we do not take that into...

Meaning Of Plato's Theories Through Poetry
518 wordsI thought this reading was relatively difficult to follow. The first part went into explicit detail. This seemed unnecessary, because Havelock could have explained his logic with less detail. The second part was much easier to follow, but nonetheless was still relatively difficult.

This term has been extra special because we studied no less than three types of literature: short stories, poetry, and drama. While I was in high school, a short story was a book with less than three hundred pages. This term I learned that even though a shor...

Rumi And Mirabai's Poetry In Different Ways
425 wordsRumi and Mirabai's poetry, in different ways, has the ability to convey a deep longing for something sacred in their time. Mirabai sometimes refers to herself in the third person that deepens her desperation of being heard by the dark one. In overall poetic structure, Mirabai's work is seldom more than one page whereas Rumi's poems tend to be several pages in length and the different sections broken down into smaller poems. After hearing the Songs of Mirabai in class, the persistent longing for ...
