1) The poem that I understood was He Is More Than a Hero. I believe it was easiest to read because there weren't any confusing metaphors. It was also very relatable to me because she puts her emotions and feelings out in a simple way of how she the loves the man. Love is also something most people can relate to because everyone experiences it.
6) Sappho's poems would be done justice if Kelly Clarkston sung them. I think Sapphos's poems represent emotion and love and needs to be expressed by an experienced singer who knows how to portray each emotion in a song. Kelly Clarkston's songs, in the past and present, show every type of emotion and can be felt by the listener. I think Sappho's poem would be beautifully represented by Clarkston because Sappho wanted her readers to experience what she felt.
Q1: Your thematic summary is correct, but the context is wrong.
ReplyDeleteQ6: I can see Clarkston singing Sappho - I would have liked a little more analysis; ie. comparable lyrics?
