Australasia in the Playground V

[Elemental]

In English we are meant to do a Close Study of texts Belonging as the theme.

Okay. Well... That's boring.
Poetry should be about things that actually inspire people! War and bloodshed and fear! And other things not so negative! If a poem is about something boring and obvious, then it will likely be boring, and how can you have a discussion about things that are boring?


Seriously... Nine months of poetry about belonging? Are they trying to turn today's youth away from the written word?
When I was in English, we got to read poems about violence, discrimination and other weighty topics. Much more interesting.


Edit: I shall have to produce artwork on this topic.
