Learning Log 6
After writing Learning Log 5 not long ago, I was very reluctant to write a new post. Actually, I am always reluctant to do homework! In this round, we are supposed to write about what we learn about literary devices. At first, I thought that the number of literary devices that I had leant in secondary 1 was a lot. But I was wrong! There are still a lot of things to know, understand and learn in Literature. That impact and effect of each literary device have its own function. The unique literary is just like the ‘key’ to every special poem, prose or unseen poetry, which is the ‘lock’. It is very important to identity and recognizes the different devices used as it usually represent or symbolizes something. By studying the imagery, we are able to identify the feelings, the thoughts and the reactions of different people. It is very essential to understand these as it deeper our thoughts of the poetry and provide a philosophical insight and an informed personal response. In my first few practices, it is a challenge for me to be able to figure out which one is the literary device. The next problem that I encountered is that what does each and every one of its significance, what does each of it stand for. I also ask myself if there is any hidden meaning and constantly remain myself to read between the lines. To conclude, I find this week Literature lesson a very meaningful one as it teaches me new things that I never knew it meant so much. I tend to miss out these important points but now I know I should always keep a look out for it. This knowledge can also be applied to other subjects such as English. Hence, I would put more effort in my studies and keep a look out for there literary devices that are used in daily life.
