entry #10 "Medusa" by louise Bagan

    This is a really good poem "Medusa" by Louise Bogan. the author uses a lot of different techniques and literary element such as imagery in order to help the readers to understand better the poem. for example in the first stanza when the bell going to strike there is a lot of actions. also the author presented many different phrases to show how she turned into a stone. Medusa is a really good and interested history. However to get the best interpretation it is better to know the story of medusa first. I really recommend to read the story of medusa first and then read this poem by Bagan it will be more enjoyable.  

 

entry #9 "Nothing Gold Can Stay" By Robert Frost

This poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" By Robert Frost after reading it several time become one of my favorite. Before reading it I looked at the title and I didn't get any clue of what it will be about. so I started reading it multiple time. my interpretation of this poem is the power of changing. sometimes can be a change for a person, sometimes things can change and also places. that's why I think that the author used nature as a personification changes as is stated in the title "Nothing Gold Can Stay". sometime things that we really want to keep in life leave away. many changes in our life are just inevitable we can do nothing about it. I really recommend this poem to a friend because it makes us to think a lot and also to get a sense of why things change.

 

entry #8 "The Magic Study of Happiness" by Charlottes Simic

    Before reading the poem "the Magic Study of Happiness" by Charlottes Simic I had a completely different expectation of what the story really was about. when I looked at the title I thought that the poem would be about maybe the connection that magic have with happiness or how magic help other people to be happy. After reading it about 7 times or more I realized that it is completely different from what I expected.  What I came up with is the crumbs represent a young family and that in the beginning it was lake a  paradise. so I think that the table is where all the emotions were spilled over meals. A sad poem and sad time also this has an open end. what I like the most on this poem is that no matter what scenario you apply to this writing, there is no ending. I say that I recommend it to a friend because is kind of interesting poem.
