Question

Hello everyone I have an English advanced assessment and I'm kinda confused. The stimulus is "by reading narrative, we escape the anxiety that attacks us when we try to say something about the world". We have to choose 2 out of 5 poems (refugee blues, September 1 1939, the unknown citizen, muse des beaux arts and in memory of w b Yeats). I don't know whether my to agree or disagree with the statement because i feel like the poems actually don't give us the ability to escape the anxiety that Auden embeds within his poem. Can someone please help and tell me what I should argue and why thank youu :)

Answer 1

I’m not much help but if I was doing this in school I’d probably disagree towards the statement as you said the poems don’t give us the ability to escape the anxiety that auden embeds within his poem.
