This
writing assignment opened my eyes to the power of writing, and the helpfulness
of peer review. It was an encouraging experience to receive feedback from my
fellow classmates, and there was not any comment which my fellow classmates
made that "blind-sided" me. Although, there was a helpful suggestion,
of noting that Jadis quickly went to the other side of the wall because she saw
Fledge's wings.
I thought it would be a challenging experience to create a
sub-world based in Narnia. I started with the idea of wanting to write about
Jadis's journey to the garden, and then as I wrote, my imagination unraveled
and thoughts fell onto the page. It was exciting to write, and I enjoyed making
sure that every detail was coherent with The
Magician's Nephew.
Furthermore, I disagree with Plato's opinion that poets
cannot be philosophers because they create that which we do not understand. The
reason is that when I think of poetry, I imagine imitations of the past or the
present, that provide meaning or truth to reality. Poetry expresses the
particular or what is ideal. In my opinion, poets are philosophers because they
perceive the world in a distinct and unique fashion. Art provides us with more
than what we can actually see.
