IS POETRY DEAD? Yes‚ poetry is dead to some extent. Poetry in the classical sense is dead anyway‚ but there is still poetry in today ’s society. We may not look at it in the same way we did years ago because it has changed. We as a society do not take the time to read as we once did‚ to understand and enjoy literary text. I agree with Wexler ’s statements "we have become lazy and lack the knowledge‚ commitment‚ and patience to understand and enjoy poetry." I myself do not understand poetry and

Evaluation 1 On 12th of December we went to Stifford Clays Primary and performed our piece to 180 year 4’s and 5’s.

We all agreed to have the boards on a slant so that we could get changed and await our queues without the children seeing us as if they did it would ruin the illusion. We did this and got changed into our costumes in 20 minutes which I thought was really good and professional

Stage makeup is thicker and a lot harder to take off. It is formulated to stay on longer than cosmetic makeup and also be used with glues‚ prosthetics‚ sweating and minor rubbing. Under the strong lights on stage‚ the actors features will look washed out and their skin will appear a lot paler than it actually is.

While some people may think that an author does not use any sort of elements of poetry to write‚ they actually do use it more than we all know. They tend to exaggerate a lot when writing‚ making things seem “bigger” and more important. They also use metaphors to compare things to other things totally unlike them. They also use rhyming to its full capability to get their points acrossed. They use rhyme schemes in couplets to get their points across. When an author is writing about something
