    Poetry is stupid

    You dont like others presuming what you would or would not do, but you are fine with presuming that 'Psychics do not use literary techniques'. The Hollow Men and other like poems have also been re-interpreted many many times, so what is your point in mentioning that the Bible has also been...

    Poetry is stupid

    We don't know his intentions in the first place because they are clouded by his own devices, in particular that of allusion. IMO, an authors intentions does not have to be plain to see but must be able to be found. I believe that it is the authors duty, to express their intention in a way that...

    othello?

    Wow....tons of ppl doing othello...as with me IMO, othello is better than some of his other plays which drag on and on and on... What im just wondering about is how long Shakespeares plays will be in the HSC syllabus for and whether there will be a point where the Board of studies says...

    Poetry is stupid

    IMO, the use of smiley faces or the use of "...lol" clearly shows it was a joke. If you can pick up on Eliots' message (if any) through a multitude of allusions then im sure a bit of humour wouldnt be too hard, would it? In on the joke? Its not a private joke or anything. How you see it is as...

    Poetry is stupid

    Who said anything about forcing our views on anyone else. We are merely stating an opinion and arguing our case (yes i admit, a little fiercer than usual). Replies have been made to argue their case as well, if you have not noticed. On a forum, that is what people can do. Someone states an...

    Poetry is stupid

    Back up claims with actual proof? It was just sarcasm, again. It thought it was clearly evident. Jokes dont require proof as back up. Thats why they're jokes.
