So for my recast I'm going to write a series of poems. I know, now just hold on and listen! Poems can be dry, boring, and complex. However, I feel insulted you would think that of my writing, I thought you knew be better than that by now. The plan is simple, well kinda I mean we are talking about poetry here, not really a simple form of writing. But the think I love about poetry is that there is no right or wrong way to expose the feelings convade by the writing. Poetry can be put to any meter and has a way of expressing powerful and fericaly intense emotion in just a few short stanza. Poetry is short and to the point, kinda like yours truly! It says what it needs to say without drawing it out, unless you read "The Raven" by Eadgar Allen Poe. I promise no "nevermore" in my poems! And even though some of the most powerful poems are short and simple, Shakespeare (my favorite author! I know it's sounds like a dumb pick up line, but it's true. I have a weak spot for englsih writers Shakespeare, Dickens, ect. Their elveated language and layered writer is like a crime case. You have to sift through the evidence to understand the motive, what happened, and why!) did not take that route. Even though I love his work and have read many of them, I do not plan to follow in his foot steps. It would be impossible to challenge the greatest English writer, and an insult to even try. So I'm going to write my own story, in my own way. I have written and studied peotry since elementary school, yes there has been years of brain washing that can now no longer be reversed. I am no poet, I do not understand all poetry, and my poem are not something to send to a publisher. I enjoy writing, so thats how I'm going to recast my argument. I will write four poems. Each from a different point of view, and each will be a different proof. The sister poem will be justice, the mother poem will be religion, the father poem will be detterence, and the last poem will be from hte point of view of the murder. The next step is not set in stone but I think I will then have different people read the poems, as if from the different point of views. These reading will then be recorded and made into a CD. Even though I hate writing those playlist for Aaron, it inspirited me to make a playlist of poems for my recast. So, thank you Aaron for the inspiration!
Love,
You'll like poetry when I'm done, I hope?!
1. You write a novel for each post you make.
ReplyDelete2. This is a really cool idea.
3. If you want to compile them to put on a board or something, I have construction paper and such (if you wanted help to make it look cool).
Molly I agree with Katie, you should publish a book of these at the end of the quarter :P but I am taking partial credit for this idea because I suggested the rap (which is kinda the same thing.) But I'm excited to see your project because I know it will be good :P
ReplyDeleteThe credit is all yours, Amelia.
