"Kubla Khan"




The three statements presented in the power point are completely related to the Kubla Khan's poem. First of all, the way how he express his feelings in front to what he is seeing in that moment, how he describe the environment and how he transmits the experience that he is having are really interesting affections.

According to us, his words touch you and your feeling and even more makes you react to it, allowing you to be there next to him seeing the same. It is marvelous to read the poem and feel you in the same environment as the writer. The simplicity of the words but the magnanimity how he writes them, are great and call you to continuing dreaming and imaginating.

However, the last statement is not really related to this poem. Within it there is not (apart from the writer) another character that we can define as supernatural itself. But we can classify the nature as supernatural because it gives you shadow, shapes, etc that permits to you make different interpretations.

Hi Paulina,
Poetry has the power of transporting us to worlds of imagination that are only possible when we read with an open mind, with our senses, with our feelings. You´ve pointed out that very well in your analysis. Coleridge´s descriptions are powerful and they make the connection between nature and man, what he imagines, perceives and feels at the time he is writing is passed on to the reader using expressions that make us "dream".
Good job!!

My friend!!!!!
I agree with your opinions about the poem. Coleridge can really take you to another place totally different and ideal...
However, there are some points I disagree with you. For example, when you said that the last stanza is not related with the rest of the poem. I do not think that is true because it shows you the pleasures and feeling that nature can give you and from that point of view is a supernatural matter.
Well done!!!!


anyway and please take care when you write with the "s" and verb tense
