Hello there, lovelies! So after thinking a lot about this (and talking to Ammara about it), I decided to keep the same topic but instead of comparing novels, I’m going to be focusing on poetry. Why? I think that poetry is often oversimplified to so many people. I think that poetry is the hardest thing to write, because to write poetry is to open a vein. You can argue that it’s the same thing for writing in general, but poetry is supposed to be shorter. It’s the description and imagery that speaks rather than the dialogue. Writing poetry not only opens a vein, but it stays open, thus creating an impact with select words.
My “research question” would be: can poetry and music create miniature movies and invoke emotion? I am going to investigate this by comparing the two as I have been doing. I’ll look at the descriptive language and analyze the tones of the poetry and the music so that it invokes a certain emotion.
I’m excited to do this for another semester, so let’s see how this goes!
WHOOT WHOOT! AWESOMENEEESSSSS. Ok, I love the topic, and I am excited to read your posts. I think we should definitely try and share poems with each other, it will be amazing. And there is nothing better than knowing that someone else shares my interest! I am sure that your blog will be full of amazing descriptions and connections between the life of short words and sound.
