Insights from Angeline Yap

Upon speaking with Singaporean poet, Angeline Yap, I was able to learn a lot about the crafting and messages of her poems. In particular, learning about her creative process of writing poetry was fascinating. When I have personally written poetry, I have found that I am very conscious of the poetic techniques I use and … Continue reading Insights from Angeline Yap

Allusion and Intertextuality in Fun Home

This week, we focused on intertextuality and allusions in Fun Home and the purpose they have in forming the plot, building character tensions and adding imagery to explain moments. These are some of the notes I took in class that define what intertextuality is and what an allusion is, as well as zooming into certain … Continue reading Allusion and Intertextuality in Fun Home

Common Assessment Task 2

This is my common assessment task 2, I definitely think this one was not as articulate or as insightful as my last CAT, especially as I realised I was mostly repeating my points, rather than developing them.

Sestina Assessment Task

This is my Sestina assessment task. I think that this sestina was able to be personal to my experiences and hopefully add some humour at the same time.

The Great Gatsby – My Initial Response

This is my initial response to reading the Great Gatsby, linguistic techniques I recognised and things I personally found interesting. I think this was an interesting exercise because it allowed me to fully reflect on the text that I had read without the pressure of trying to find the larger meaning or trying to overanalyse … Continue reading The Great Gatsby – My Initial Response

‘The Poet and the World’: My Thoughts

Reading Szymborska’s Nobel Lecture ‘The Poet and the World’ has allowed me to consider the world concerning poetry in relation to the purpose of life. As Szymborska says, poets “publicly confess to being poets only reluctantly as if they were ashamed of it.” Is this due to the way we perceive jobs which have regular … Continue reading ‘The Poet and the World’: My Thoughts
