Over the past few weeks, my English class has been working on blogs, as a project. This is another blog of John Keats and his works, titled, "The Life and Work of John Keats." This blog happens to talk about just that- John Keats' life, his poetry, and impacts he has had on people and culture, even today. I wanted to see what other people my age had to say about Keats, and how they had interpreted his works. I am also interested in some of the information they have found of Keats, like the impact his work has on today's culture.
I like the format of this blog because it is simple, and easy to navigate. The blog is visually appealing with its simple and colorful scheme. I also like how they covered many different aspects and works of Keats; and I found their blog about Keats' impact on today’s culture very interesting. I had never noticed the reference to Keats and other Romanticism poets in Natasha Bedingfield’s song, “These Words”. I didn’t realize how Romantic poets influenced art and music. I also like their blog about Keats' poem "When I have Fears", because it gave another view on the interpretation of this poem. The video kind of creeped me out, but it was refreshing to see a video and hear the poem; not to just read another poem. It is also helpful in understanding the poem to hear it spoken. In my opinion, this blog is helpful for someone who knows little or nothing about John Keats. It shows a few of his most popular works, which is helpful in understanding a poet. I also think the interpretation of the poem is helpful for someone trying to learn about a poet, and one person’s view of the poem can help another person understand it in their own way. I also like how they have a list of vocabulary, to help you understand the poem better. I think it is definitely helpful for someone who knows nothing about the Romanticism Era and its poets, because the use many uncommon words.
