It may seem strange, but advertising and poetry have a lot in common. Like advertisements, poems: have vivid imagery a
28、nd impressive sound; are richly symbolic; operate on an emotional level, use a language of feeling; are by nature brief, clear, economical with words; are narrative sometimes, non-narrative other times. But unlike advertisements, poems tend to express complex, deep or various feelings rather than si
29、mple, sentimental, surface, or unchanged emotion. If there s drama in a poem, it s more likely to be subtle, or tragic, or truly comic instead of overstated or silly. But the most important difference to observe is that poems do not mislead readers the way ads do; they are not conveying messages see
30、king to control or mislead your thinking and behavior. Similarities and differences aside, it s possible that being good at interpreting ( 释义 ) the subtle, unspoken messages in ads makes a person more skillful at interpreting poetry.

37、g time to do,” Ross Perry, Grade 10, said. “ It helps you learn sometimes, but not really that much.

38、rage students. “ I try to give minimal homework because students should be playing and taking exercise more than working inside all day.
