I was thinking that I could use a diagram in a way that I can write the central key words or ideas Consequently, I can explain my points. I found this a very interesting format to use because I do not think everyone is going to do it, which makes it unique. In addition, I must admit that I might change my mind about the format as long as I start doing the assignment due to unexpected feelings that can appear inside of me.
I chose to analyze “Dear Mum” because it seems interesting how the author of this poem found the right words to touch my heart, as well as write it with perfect rhythm and alliteration. I also would like to know how the author created this poem, what happened in his mind or his life when he decided to write about her mom.
To conclude, I am very excited because I appreciate the message of this poem, the way it was written and spoken. I feel that when we read or hear a good poem it sticks to our souls better than when we read an informative or persuasive essay.
Live long and prosper indeed, Gaby! (I see your Big Bang reference and I raise you a Star Trek reference.)
I am totally stoked that you want to do a diagram — I think that has extremely cool potential, especially because of the way the artist who created #DearMum used images/visuals/those white lines to illustrate his words on his own body. A diagram is a super fitting genre for analyzing such a visually-aware poem, and I think it has tremendous potential.
Of course, all that said, if you do decide to go in a different direction, don’t worry, I shan’t hold it against you! Looking forward to your rough draft!
