These past two weeks have been filled with a plethora of learning and stress. I've been absent a lot which makes these RL blogs difficult. This blog post is mainly about our PoW because I made such a huge connection with it.
The poem of the week Bright Star was one I connected with on an extremely deep level, and is my favorite PoW thus far. Keats really presented such amazing layers that gave the text true life even at multiple levels. I enjoyed that I could connect to the poem at the aspect of all three presented levels; The Star, The Man, and His Lover. This allowed me to feel the poem, which isn't something I've been able to do with our poems of the past. The essay was difficult at first, but the longer I sat the greater the connection I made. I'm eager to revise this essay, because I truly feel confident about the response I gave. Though it came on slow, it felt like my ideas had solid standing because I thoroughly understood how to connect with the text. Making this textual connection made to prompt easier too, even though it wasn't and idea I'd thought too terribly much about in class.
I feel that the idea of growth is really beginning to show in my writing. I'm becoming more flexible and the weekly essay has helped me to think on my toes as a young student in all classrooms. Writing is really not something you can escape, and even beyond writing you still have to clearly form your thoughts in order to really be heard in this society. That's something I see more and more in myself as time marches on.
I leave you with a video of the interview of actors in a film called "Bright Star", a film about John Keats and his life. If you go to 2:22 you can see the actor who played Keats give his opinion of Keats as a man. It's very reflective of the poem, and if the time permit in my life I'd love to watch this movie.
