What reasons does Jason Reynolds give to show that poetry can change someone's opinion about reading?

English
1 answer:
ehidna [41]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

1. The amount of words in poetry is less compared to prose and other literary pieces.

2. The rhythm produced from one line to another adds a natural flow to poetry.

3. The small chunks of words at a time helps to make the reading less threatening.

4. The white space left on the pages makes the reading breathable and less choking.

Explanation:

Jason Reynolds, an author explains that the reason why many young people are not being helped to overcome their fear of books is that the teachers and instructors still bombard them with voluminous books, thus adding to their fear. He compared it to a person scared of dogs still being confronted with a Pit Bull or other intimidating dogs.

To solve the problem, Reynolds explained that the less volume of words contained in Poetry can help instill a love for reading in the students. They can enjoy the rhythm created as they move from lines and stanzas. The small chunks of words also makes reading less intimidating.

Where is discrimination shown in the merchant of venice??​
DIA [1.3K]
Discrimination is a resounding theme in The Merchant of Venice (Meyers). All of the characters are affected by inequality. This inequity is evidenced clearly in Shylock, the Jewish usurer. He is treated with scorn and derision by all the characters.

After the optimism of the Renaissance, neoclassical writers strived for structure, order, and balance. The cultural trend change
Phantasy [73]

According to Zygmunt BaumanIt we live in a liquid world, that is we are overwhelmed by information, relationships are not mostly meant to last, things change at a pace never seen before by humans, having said this, our literary culture is bombarded by mass produced literature, for instance the <em>Twilight</em> saga and the <em>Harry Porter</em> saga which by themselvesis not bad but it seems that people compete to say how many book they have read, but the question is how many books have they really read? Although I wouldn't change much of the writying style, I don't think there is a general school of writing nowadays so anyone can be romantic, barroque, neoclassic, moden, what suits them, but the approach to reading for details and cross reference to traditional and classic must be preserved. There is no denial that more people read now but they need to be taught how to read critically and challenge the classic tropes, but not by enacting newer tropes, for instance I am yet to see a prodigalson story emphasising and redeeming the older brother.

The government cannot have a say on cultural matters, the max they can do is help promote new artists.  

It certainly differs to the mass production approach of publishers, as everyboidey else they need money so it is understandable that they encourage this liquid approach to reading, the faster you read, the more books you will buy, so although we have analysed the phenomenom it is difficult to pass a final judgement on how things ought to be.
