Okay, ye Ozymandian critics, what did I do here, how did I do it, and what was my aim?

http://www.nupress.northwestern.edu/cont... (( "To make sense of "free verse" in theory of in practice, the study of prosody--the function of rhythm in poetry--must be revised and rethought. In Free Verse: An Essay on Prosody, Charles Hartman develops a theory of prosody that includes the most characteristic form of twentieth-century poetry." )) As it seems, mr Hartman considers the 20th Century poetry, different than anything written previously. Therefore his opinion on things is subjective and arbitrary.

Prosody has existed since the times of ancient Greece and Rome. This is why the term is Greek. Why should we accept mr Hartman's opinion on prosody, especially when he annuls the classic theory and becomes the inventor of something new that costs 19 dollars in paperback but it is not an Academic text book?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
