For week four in A.P. Literature, a lot of discussion occurred over the types of imagery used in literature, and in all works of art. This is extremely beneficial to me because it allows me to write about more than just visual imagery, and think more about other types of imagery, like auditory, that has an even deeper effect on the reader. This week, I realized that imagery is everywhere in literature, just varying in types.
In addition, this week, we took an in depth look at why literature parallels art. Through the Ted Talk that we viewed as a class, we learned to be selective about what we choose to write about in literature. It is smarter to take an in - depth view of a work of art in a museum, from a portrait that captures your attention, rather than scan through every piece. Being selective helps the author get down to business directly on to a couple key topics, which is more efficient and timely than touching on a wide variety of topics. Lastly, our poem of the week, I felt a Funeral, in my Brain, by Emily Dickinson, was a difficult poem to analyze, mainly due to the saddening mood of the poem, making it difficult to connect to our own lives. The poem was effective, although, leaving something behind for the reader to explore in their own mind. A really depressing poem, but I am thankful to have spent the time learning all the pieces and parts Dickinson created.
