Easyst Playwright Whose Essay Samples the Past and Present
Easyst Playwright Whose Essay Samples the Past and PresentJohn Keats, when reviewing one of his essay samples, remarked, 'A ready poem is never equal to a ready essay, which it may produce; for if it be not well composed, you may make it worse.' So Keats's sentiments are perhaps true, and they could also be said of some of the essay samples I've seen online. There seems to be no balance when it comes to how well written the essays are.The easyst playwright whose essay samples the past and present is in no doubt that poetry and essays are absolutely related. Whether they can be considered as 'the same' is debatable, as one has a very different perspective from the other.Yet, a poem can help to illuminate and interpret the events and happenings, while essays, as well as reports, documents and other information, can help to present that information and explain the context. A poet can record an experience, whereas an essayist can explain the same event or experiences. Poets can describe things, while the essays can tell us what those things are, and they can be used in a variety of settings.By contrast, there can be no poetry or a true 'essay' about the simple things that happened in the day to day life of a writer's/poet's perspective. But these are things that affect a writer's/poet's mindset. And a poet can add such a collection of diary entries and notes and other stories and reflections to help him or her improve the product of the 'essay'. As the composer of the song explains in the end: 'This has been a beautiful song, but there is a real beauty here to me, too!'The easyst playwrightwhose essay samples the past and present is also concerned with how those things can affect and change, as the years go by, the writer's/poet's perception. She might be writing an 'essay' on how as the years pass, the roles of women change, as the roles of men change, how marriages evolve, the methods of choosing a teacher, or a patient at a hospital, or how the different issues and concerns of a parent can alter, how the same issues may be affected by illness, disease, or disease with its associated symptoms.And an essay which is able to take that one aspect and then observe, document, record, and interpret the influences or conditions that shape that aspect is truly a work of art. It is an extension of the writer's/poet's creative process. And the importance of both the medium and the viewpoint must not be understated.Now, as to those types of essays which seem to belong more to the past and less to the present, like literary fiction or a 'play', we can see that these are written primarily for the enjoyment of the author's audience, and not for the more scholarly audience of essay samples. Writers or poets can explore and find their personal experiences, and provide a contemporary perspective on those experiences.But the purpose of an essay sample is to convey important, perhaps even unique, insights and viewpoints about the events of the past and present . An essay that meets this purpose is even more valuable. If the writer is writing on some topic that has very little relevance to the modern day, or to the social and economic environment, or indeed to anything else, then it is best to focus on something more timeless.
