Approaches

McMahan`s approaches that is used in our book that I find appealing to me are the Mythological and Archetypal approaches is one. I enjoy reading stories that keep you guessing what is going to happen next. I like to read stories where the character has challanges, because if they did not have challanges then the stories would be boring, and there would not be anything to keep you on the edge of your seat. Another approach that is appealing to me is the Historical approache, because it takes a look at how the original adience viewed the piece of work. Like Shakespeare I find that the imagery in some of his work amazing and then some of it confusing. Shakespeare has to be one of the greatest men in the history of literature writing. He is one of my favorite writers.


Fog by Carl Sandburg 1878-1967

The Fog comes
on little cats feet

It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

This poem reminds me of Newfoundland, I think that is why I am choosing this one. The imagery in this poem is actually amazing. Fog comes on little cat feet, the way I look at this is that cats feet are quite and fog creeps in when it does roll in. Looking over harbor and city well we live in Newfoundland and where I live to the fog when it does come in it creeps in, it is silent and it just sits in the harbor and coves and looks over the city and when it is done doing its watching over us it moves on. I can picture a really grey foggy day in Newfoundland and relating it to this poem
