- How confident you are in analysing poetry.
I am pretty confident in analysing poetry. I think I can excel with this. But I am just afraid that I thoroughly analyse the poems too much. Because in the last Poetry CA, Ms.Kerry stated that I was 'too imaginative' which I thought, we can think of the poetry in any way we liked/thought. So the fact that I was 'too imaginative' gave me a new impression of poetry analysis. So I do try not to be too imaginative. - quote by Mr.Martin,
"teenagers. pfft" - If you feel you can confidently identify the varies poetic devices.
I am confident in some of the poetic devices but I need to learn more of the other poetic devices a bit. I think I am stable with it.
- What we've done that you've found useful.
I have found out that knowing the tone, the difference between character and poet were very useful to me. But I thought learning the tones, the beats, what the singer was trying to express through his lyrics in songs was the best. It was the '
cooler' way of analysing a poem -
they are sort of like poems.- Anything you're not confident with or sure of.
I am not sure how to not be too imaginative and what to write down on the CA. Because I seem to always go out of topic or non of my analysis actually makes sense to the examiners. In my defense, I like my analysis but if it doesn't make sense to the examiner, than they are the one who mark my grades. And that grade determines my future, in a way.
So I need to know what to write or what not to write.
