Whether we choose to conform with everyone else becoming controlled by rules and regulations‚ or if we choose to develop into free thinking and confident adolescents we have the ability to change the way

ENG. 1102 Paper 1 Carpe Diem Poetry “To The Virgins‚ To Make Much of Time” by Robert Herrick and “To His Coy Mistress” by Andrew Marvell are two great examples of Carpe Diem poetry.

After reading about the Carpe diem theme‚ I believe myth 9 (“all you need is love‚ so it doesn’t matter if you and your partner have very different values”) is more related to any other Galician’s myths.

I find this true after reading about the example in popular movies that myth 9 was categorized as Carpe Diem themes such as turning points‚ overcoming the odds‚ and

Seizing the day has a profound meaning behind it‚ in Latin it is known as Carpe Diem. Carpe Diem refers to having no fear to do something‚ taking chances and risks. In the movie “The Dead Poets Society” a character named Knox has a crush on a girl‚ while she was already dating another guy. Knox was trying to seize the day by trying to spend time with her. There are many more examples of carpe diem in this exceptional movie‚ but this I feel is the most pertinent. Many of the poems that we read in

Carpe Diem Life is a moment. There is no hereafter. So make it burn always with the hardest flame. “The Picture of Dorian Gray” What will you do when the time will over?
