Modern poetry refers to poetry written between 1890 and 1950
in the tradition of modernist literature. Walt Whitman (1819-1892) is often
considered a pioneering modern poet because of his innovative style, themes and
approach to poetry. His works break away from traditional forms. It embraces
free verse and focuses on individuality, democracy and the complexity of human
experience. Whitman’s poetry demonstrates his modern sensibilities and marks
him as pivotal in the transition to modernist literature.
The Iliad is an epic poem written down in Homeric Greek, a literary
mixture of the Ionic Greek and other dialects, probably around the late 8th
or early 7th century BC. One of the foremost achievements in Western literature, Homer’s Iliad is a part of an extended mythology around the
legendary Trojan war that tells the story of the Greeks and the Trojans fought
for ten years. Its center is Achilles, the greatest warrior champion of the
Greeks, and his Conflicts with his leader, Agamemnon. Agamemnon has captured a
woman named Chryseis during his siege against the other towns around Troy.
Chryseis’ father is a priest of Apollo, who begs Agamemnon to return his
daughter. When Agamemnon refuses, the priest prays to Apollo, who, in turn, unleashes havoc on the Greek armies in the form of plagues.
Cognitive theory suggests that the human mind is like a computer that is constantly processing and encoding data. According to cognitive theory, when a person experiences stimuli, his mind will look toward prior schema (or internal frameworks created by memories) to help them understand this information.
Cognitive theory is a psychological theory that explains how
peoples’ thought, beliefs and perceptions shape their behavior and emotions. It
focuses on the idea that how and what people think leads to their emotions and
that certain thoughts and beliefs can lead to healthy or disturbed emotions and
behaviors.
