Learning Log 5

I have learnt that to do an unseen poem, we have to be focus, and read the poem slowly because a pharase written in the exact same manner can be said in many different ways and mean different things. The steps on how approach an unseen text are. 1. Understand the overall meaning of the text which is simply understanding the text. 2. Do a close reading, question yourself why the writer choose these literary devices and also what effect do these devices create on the text or have on the reader. 3. Provide a philosophical insight and an informed, personal reponse, like what is the message the text is trying to convey to the reader, how do you feel after reading the text and what issues about the world and human nature does the text highlight.
