What is the Movie Saying About Poetry?
What the movie is saying about poetry is that it shouldn't be measure upon a mathematical way (Welton's Way). They are saying that poems should be measured upon effort and thought. When the boys go up to present their poems one of the boys presented a very short poem (I believe it was this) The cat sat on the mat. The End. Keating didn't mind because he thought the boy tried and did good.
What do you Think of Poetry? How is it Similar and Different than the Movie's View of Poetry?
I believe that poetry is a way in which people can release there inner thoughts in a unique way instead of just saying them out loud.I personally don't enjoy poetry a whole lot however it can be fun to do at times. The things that the movie and I think about poetry which is different is that the movie is how different teachers then Keating use the math scale to measure poetry.
Manjot states a valid point that poetry is about expressing one's feelings in an unigue way but he lacks evidence to support his statements. Though Manjot illustates many great ideas he does not support it with detail. Overall Manjot's work was well done and straight to the point.
