Stevens and Moore.

Well, getting a late start on this assignment not really understanding much about it, but then talking things over in class made me have more of an understanding.. When we did the group activity and we had to translate Moore's writing of "Poetry," we came up that she is critizing poetry writers, but at the same time she enjoys poetry. Writers don't have to make things so difficult because that turns people away from reading it. Every day events happen and they are good without us making a big deal about them. Both Moore and Stevens talk about nature, and animals a lot. They both also rhyme at times. When you asked about sound, I think my atempt to read them aloud was more difficult reading Stevens. Altho his stanza's clearly ended, it seemed choppy. Moore's was more easy going, when talking about sound, and i also think an easy going type writing style. When in class we also translated Stevens "Anecdote of the jar," I noticed he rhymed a lot more compared to Moore's in "Poetry." This poem that he wrote, seemed to be complicated because there's just random lines stuck next to eachother. I'm not sure where they came from, but he put them together to make a jar have a whole history. He starts and ends the poem with the same idea about "Tennessee," compared to Moore's that just kinda got to the point without making it so complicating to see the point.
