LESSON OF THE 20^th SEPTEMBER 2011

Arts generate emotions, positive or negative reactions, pleasure or troubles. Different forms of art use different ingredients and tools to produce this feelings: literature is made up of words, painting is made up of colours, sculpture of marble, music of notes, and so on...

Whenever poets write they must follow a stright DISCIPLINED THECNIQUE, so their language (the language they use) is charged with a lot of meanings. That is why poetry arouses and stirs several emotions.

Literary texts send a lot of meanings and most of this meanings can be all correct because every reader provides a personal interpretation of a text. BUT the interpretation is NOT FREE because in order to propose any interpretation we must be able to advance an interpretation which is supported by textual references.

Literary genres are: poetry; fiction & drama; poem; literature
Literary forms are: the sonet; the ballad; the novel; the haiku.
