Reverdie Recitationwanted to recite this poem to my father in father’s day last Sunday and I did it. Before I started memorizing the poem, I wanted to understand it very well. At the beginning, it cost me a little bit to understand the meaning of all those words and the poem in general, but after I read the poem a few times I could finally understand the meaning of the poem and what was the author trying to say. After I understood the poem, I started memorizing it. It cost me a few hours because this is the first time that I am reading books related to English literature, so all those words are phrases are totally new to me. Also, it took me while to memorize the poem because some of the lines had some words that do not make sense when they are written in the same phrase or sentence. After, I memorized all the poem and I understood word by word, I started practicing in front of the mirror and when I had nothing to do, because I really wanted to impress my father by reciting this in poem in his day.
When I was reciting this poem, my father was making like a funny face because he did not understand a word of what I was saying. Before I started reciting the poem, I did not tell him that the poem was going to be with old English words, so he was not like prepared for a poem like this one. After, I recited the poem one more time, I tried to explain him the meaning of this poem, but after I explained it to him a few more times he could finally understood it. Also, I talked to him about Chaucer and the tales, so he could have a better idea of the context of the poem. I think that he really understood the poem when I explained to him from when the poem was and who the author was. This type of experience was new to me because this was my first reciting a poem like this. Also, I do not remember when was the last time that I recited a poem in front of my father, so I remembered the good times that I had when I was in high school. In overall, this was a good experience for me because
Praise
This is a book of stories, poems, and song that shows that literature is alive and well and is being used as a means of communication for people of all ages, cultures, religions, and genders. Its message of love and humor is often seen to be resonating with other cultures. The poem is a natural extension of that message. In the beginning of the poem, I mentioned how I thought this might be a good idea to learn some English, but after reading some of its lyrics, he said that he may want to get into literature first. After a moment, he asked some questions, and I had to give him some ideas. This experience is interesting because it’s an idea that he might have experienced before we start a reciting, because of his experience as a young person.
I enjoyed the poem about the history of the “The English Family”; it is not typical of this sort of recitativeness of the English language because the poem is told not of the birth and/or death of our ancestors, but rather the current, current situation in our country. It may make you think that those who are familiar with the English language and/or history of that country and who have never lived here or there, or who have traveled abroad or who come from our region, might be familiar with the poem; but I don’t think it seems to. The poem has a very large audience, because in it, the English language is telling stories and the English poet is drawing the world. My father is a very generous writer. So I do not think he was a typical “The English Family” person.
The poem is also one where the writer describes how he’s been on an English journey, as having traveled from the north in the mid-1800s to North Carolina to study the English language in its daily life and then following through with his mission to “learn the English language.” His journey is a very long story in its own right, as well as it involves a lot of physical and emotional hardships. But it is good to see what it has done to those who have traveled through history from their homeland during the past three generations. For example, in the early 1800s, the last time Mr. George A. Bush was elected as president, the author took a break that same year from studying the English language in order to follow through upon his mission of learning the English language. After this, he took an old life as an immigrant to the United States and lived in a temporary town in Illinois, where he learned English from his American grandparents. (Mr. Bush’s father served a long term in his government career in the Army. Then he moved to Canada and became fluent in English at age 16 and then aged 20.) From the start of writing the poem, Mr. Bush’s poem would end like this:
I do not know why I have come
from these lands all we know
about the English language
I know so well
that I can do this
again if you want to follow
in my footsteps
To learn it
I call your poem
Your poems are not just
words
but
real things.
It’s amazing, that these things can become something that is about real things. You know how this poem can be interpreted and understood? Think about how it expresses the real world in a way that is not just literal but real. Even when the poem is still the text, the people who want to read about it will have to look for something more than actual words. The fact that it ends like this makes it better in this regard: when the poem ends, everything begins anew by a story and a way of seeing that
