The romanticism presentation was very informative and interesting. There were tons of information and detailed background knowledge of romantic artists. Before I watched the presentation, I wasn’t quite sure about what is romanticism and the difference between realism and romanticism. “Tyger” by William Blake had a great impact on me, because this poem explained almost [...]

Personally, Sandpiper was quite boring for me to read, because I couldn’t really understand the story. When I first read this story, I didn’t know what is meaning of “Sandpiper”.

What I learnt from The Merchant of venice_HJ

From Merchant of Venice, I learnt how badly Jews were treated and difference in person’s belief can lead to alienation. I wondered is this right thing to do?

Happiness_HJ

Happiness by Jane Kenyon made me to wonder about what is happiness’s true meaning. I read through this poem as I contrast with other poem from Jane Kenyon, “otherwise”.

Otherwise_HJ

It became one of my favourite poem since “Our other sister”. I liked how the writer Jane Kenyon repeated word “otherwise” few times and describe the setting of the story in detail.
