Last Weeks Class
Last week we learned a lot about Victorian Poetry, when i first heard we were learning about it, i thought it was going to be horrible and boring. As the week went on it started to get better and better. We have read a lot of Victorian Poetry type things like Jeckyll and Hyde and in our Victorian Poetry book. We also made a pretty cool short story rubric that is really going to help a lot.
In the Victorian time period a lot of things were different, the mood and tone always seem to be gloomy, with no hope of good things, and dark setting suck as Jeckyll and Hyde. Victorianism art and writings consist of many different themes; suck as utilitarianism with is the thought of everything having a purpose, and love winning in the end, which means connecting all thoughts by the end of the story; making sure everything makes since and there are not any stray thoughts. Also themes like rise of technology, but in my mind it seems like most Victorian writings have a lot to do with love.
Thinking about writing our short stories, it scares me. It’s going to be really hard for me. I think that it will help me some more if I go through and read some more Victorian writings. After reading Jeckyll and Hyde and reading some Victorian poetry, I think my understanding of this writing style is alright, but it must get better in order to writing a short story. I need to work on learning this writing style some more so I’ve got to go!!!
