Through out my experience in literature and performance I believe I have learned a lot of different things about poetry, writing, novels, playwrights, plays, theatre, actors etc. i have also learned how to become a better performer and understand the thought and creativity that goes into a piece of theater, and the performers mindset. I am new to theater in general and with this class it has given me the opportunity to explore new things and learn a lot about theater. It has pushed me to want to do more and get to know the ins and outs of theater and performance. this class has also helped me a lot with my public speaking skills and being able to be in front of an audience and communicate without freezing up or getting nervous. I am able to do this now because of my experiences performing in front of class class, and having to memorize my lines for performances and projects. a lot of what we have done over the past two years has been a lot about thinking in depth and critical thinking,...

4. Colour and sound provide some of the most vivid effects in poetry. How have at least two poets that you have studied used such visual and auditory aspects as these to enrich their poems?     Two poets that  have studied  were my grandmother in the stars and one inch tall. both of these poems gave a very good representation of visual and auditory aspects.  for example in one inch tall the line that says "the teardrop of a crying ant would be your swimming pool." this part of the poem along with other lines gives the audience or the reader a visual representation of what it would be like to be an inch tall.they do this by using common things they were are all able to recognize while adding n the human of personification("crying ant"). another part that was very visual for me was the part were   shel said "you'd surf across the kitchen sink upon a stick go gum.

2. The passage of time and its significance can be handled in many ways in poetry. Consider the ways in which at least two poets have included aspects of time in their poetry through their effective use of stylistic techniques. in the poem grandmother in the stars the poem talks very in depth about the past present and future life. this is explained through the beginning middle and end of the poem. the poet is describing her grandmother and the long lasting  relationship that she will continue to treasure and have for the rest of her life and afterwards. this was very effective because it she brings up all the memories that keep her grandmother still relevant and present in her life. she puts a lot of emotion into this piece especially in the beginning showing her un comfort and struggle with not having her grandmother in the present but having memories to serve as the replacement of joy that she wants.the other poem t...
