Reading Responses:
Students are required to submit four 1- 2 page responses (250-500 words) on class readings and / or discussions over the course of the two semesters.
These responses are meant to have students practice critically engaging with course material, to provide another forum for class discussion and participation, and to raise questions or concerns throughout the course. As such, we are interested in your critically informed response to class material or discussions not your class notes or summaries.
These can be “personal” responses, in that you may take these as an opportunity to let us know that you connected strongly with a poem, that you really didn’t like a story, and so on, or that you have concerns with how something was taught, but you must be sure to be specific and to explain yourself using the critical concepts, vocabulary, and argumentation we have been exploring in the class.
My information:
As we already discussed in our class Paul Dirac, a well respected physicist, said, The aim of science is to make difficult things understandable in a simple way; the aim of poetry is to state simple things incomprehensible wat.
The extensive use of complicated language in Literature was a question for me since I started studying science in high school.
As an engineering student and science enthusiast, I learned about Occams razor or parsimony principle. This principle states that the simplest explanation is usually the best one.
However, Literatures purpose is not to convey information, data, facts; scientific writing usually is. Literature conveys the experience, both external and internal; it speaks to our emotions, it stimulates our memories, it creates connections between our own lives and the lives (however potential/fictional) of others
Also, Aristotle talks about complexity in poetics. I would appreciate it if you cant connect Aristotle’s nemesis with the use of complexity in tragedies.
