Write To Be Free

To me poetry is an escape. I get to step in someone else's world and try to comprehend their way of living. By reading other people's pieces of work, you learn a whole new outlook on this person. Most poets write about things that occur in their live that either bring them a abundance of happiness, or a lake of sadness. I found why I write poetry, I just let everything go. It is almost as if the hands just do the talking, as my brain allows every little detail I need to put down fall. Over all poetry has taught me one major thing, it isn't real if you censor yourself, so don't hold back your true emotions when writing poetry.

Reflection on School Assignments

 In school we are given many of projects a year. There are some projects where people cannot place their own interests in depending on their interests. For me I find my English, Religion and Art teachers have truly hit topics I enjoy learning or researching about. With courses related to individuality it is much easier to take you own learning into you own hands. While in the Science and Math departments it may be much harder to find an interesting topics to fight for. With a creative twist, and hard enough thought you could make any topic hit your interests as well as the teacher main assignment.

Sylvia Plath

 



   Sylvia Plath was a famous poet, most of her poems were written in the 1950's. She was born on October 27th 1932 unfortunately on February 11th 1963 she had taken her own life by sticking her head in her oven. Sylvia struggled with a divorce and depression causing her to find her writing being much more sad. Her work that is most known is The Bell Jar, Journals, and Letters. 

"Perhaps some day I’ll crawl back home, beaten, defeated. But not as long as I can make stories out of my heartbreak, beauty out of sorrow."      
-Sylvia Plath (The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath)

Sylvia is explaining how no matter how beaten down you become in life, it only empowers your writing ability. She is stating that no matter how much pain might be brought to your life, you can make it a beautiful ending. Once you go through a situation is life, it is your choice to write the ending of it. I truly love the meaning of this quote overall because of the issues I have been through, it means I can write it in my own ways and change my ending.
