Reflection with my Critical Friend on "Ode on a Grecian Urn"

PART ONE

Task 1 (Critical Friend: Jaz Larreta)

A) The making of the urns helped on the understanding of the poem. In the first place, it directly expressed through drawings the images Keats' included in each stanza (Including his own synaesthetic images), bringing to reality the images we had build with our own imagination. Secondly, through these drawings, language was also explored and analyzed in a deeper way, depicting every aspect of the ode. In the third place, metaphors were portrayed with the help of these representation of the images, helping on the understanding of them in a more dynamic way. For example: "What men or gods are these? What maidens loth? What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape? What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy?", this quote was illustrated as woman running (Escaping), and in this way the metaphor was explored and worked for it to be understood better.

B) Is Keats' reflecting on his own coming of death? (He was already infected with Tuberculosis)

    Is he allucinating? What is real and what is not?

C) - Group Work

     - Patience

     - Efficent Communication (Listening to others)

     - Creativity

     - Division of tasks

     - Correct use of time
