My favorite quotes from the movie, "The Dead Poets Society Club".

The art of poetry.

For centuries, art has inspired poets and poetry as an artist. It gives lessons, ideas, and multimedia that explore creative expression and inquiry at the crossroads of poetry and visual art. These resources will motivate the students to pen poems, create visual poetry, and compare and contrast similar themes across visual art and verse. What is poetry? Poetry is literature in meter form. It is a form of written word that has pattern and rhythm and rhyme. It can be serious or it can be fun. Poetry is as creative as you if you know how to express it. Basic poetry is in verse form, called a stanza, made up of meters created by feet. The amount of lines there are in a stanza decides what type of poem is written. There can be more than one stanza to a poem and then for effect throw in a chorus and a refrain. The stanzas can have rhythm and rhyme or just be a blank verse. There this one poet that I sincerely adore who is, Sylvia Plath. She was one of the most dynamic and admired poets of the 20th century. Her depressing poem speaks to so many young girls that happened to felt the same thing that she feels and of course, including myself. By the time she took her life at the age of 30, Plath already had a following in the literary community. In the ensuing years her work attracted the attention of a multitude of readers, who saw in her singular verse an attempt to catalogue despair, violent emotion, and obsession with death. Her famous book entitled, The Bell Jar that for me was a queer and sultry for summer. I'm stupid about executions. The idea of being electrocuted makes me sick, and that's all there was to read about in the papers. It had nothing to do with me, but I couldn't help wondering what it would be like, being burned alive all along your nerves. I thought it must be the worst thing in the world. I have never read something so utterly compelling and literally could not put it down. It was quite terrifying how often I read something the narrator thought or felt and found myself thinking, "I know exactly what you mean. “In the New York Times Book Review, Joyce Carol Oates described Plath as “one of the most celebrated and controversial of postwar poets writing in English.” What I like the most about her is she let her writing express elemental forces and primeval fears. In doing so, she laid bare the contradictions that tore apart appearance and hinted at some of the tensions hovering just beneath the surface of the way of life in the post war period. With this it can affect humans and at once it can affect the society as well. There is this quote from one of my favorite movie, Dead Poet Society which is, we don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are the members of human race. It shows that this affects us in a very emotional and psychological way, and for me that is much more important to us, as a member of society.
