Blog Entry 5: Essay 3 Preview

After reading the Essay 3 and Essay 3 sample, I think we need to gather what we had learned so far in the class. We need to put what we had learned in class such as tones, symbolism, themes, rhythms and others in the next essay. Besides, we also need to define this words using internet source to clarify the meanings and uses of each of them in a poem. In addition, we need to do some research about the author of the poem that we choose and try to understand the reason for the poet to compose that poem. This is very effective for us to really understand the hidden meaning of the poem. The part that I think I am confused is I am not sure about the motif and archetype. I am not sure how I could incorporate both of them in my essay. I also not sure do I have to get some ideas from Shadow (Psychology) into this essay.

To complete this assignment, I think I need more knowledge about items that made up a poem. I need to really understand the meanings and roles of them in a poem to have a clear image of the poem. As a result, I think it will be much better if I can incorporate what I had learned in class into this essay. I also need to do more researches to fully understand the poem that I chose so I can write a vivid and interesting story about that. In essay 3, I think I will use the poem “Dirge” from William Shakespeare. This poem is talk about death. I think this poem is related to our class theme “Supernatural”.
