Inspired by Emily Dickinson's poem, Much Madness is divinest sense. Pg 670

When one dares to be unique, they are immediately shunned by society, as we are all expected to have standards and act a certain way. “ACT” that’s what we are all doing in life, playing a role and not being our true self. When one or a group decide to ignore the social ( Read more... )

Hey Georgina

Great work! That was one of my favorite poems in the text we had. It clearly demonstrates how society enforces these 'rules' upon us. It pretty lame although many seem to abide by them.

I think by being different and not caring what others think, you are unique, different, and courageous. If everyone was the same life would be ordinary ( Read more... )

Love the way you thought about it, now it makes me think of all the character I play in life.
I work as a receptionist so I guess I play the person that has to care whether or not the customer’s glasses look nice. Then it’s off to Uni, where I play the 'I Am smart' role, smiling to everyone, and then playing a funny role along with a relaxed role ( Read more... )

Hi Melissa

Great piece and very critical.

I also have never read any of Emily's work until the lecture and I loved reading it. Yes it was hard to understand at first but once her work is unfolded it makes so much sense and she dares to question society. I especially loved the poem ‘What Soft- Cherubic Creatures, we had to figure out what it means in ( Read more... )

I have had a really bad week everyone, so this is me letting it all out.

I don’t want to read 500 pages

I don’t want to write a 2000 word essay

I don’t want to wake up early everyday

I don’t want my room to look like a bomb of books exploded there

I don’t want to go to work when I’m sick

I don’t want to stay up all night for an assessment

I don’t want to ( Read more... )
