What value is there in discussing and analyzing poetry?

There is a lot of value in discussion and analyzation of poetry.  When talking with other people, they could give you insight that you hadn't thought of.  They can give you new ideas and help you understand important concepts in a poem.  People help give you ideas and opinion.  Having someone discuss with you after reading is a very productive thing to do!

No, i don't believe that a portrait has the same weight as it did a long time ago. i don't believe if the president were to send a portrait of himself to an ally it would reaffirm a relationship. portraits have lost a lot of there meaning now and it is quite sad. in today's society if you want to create or strength a relationship you wouldn't send them a portrait you would send them money or other gifts of value. in today's society authority would be based on power that the person has. most powerful people try and keep them selfs from looking weak so others won't doubt them, so if a man of authority were to send someone a portrait to reaffirm a relationship i believe it would make them look weak. those with authority use there power telling others what they are to do.

Photojournalism adds emphasis and power. if some one told you that a bomb blew up the world trade center, you wouldn’t have believed them until you saw it on the tv or in the newspaper.
