A Type of Writer

Week 2
Upon reading O’Flinn on Orwell I contemplated about the kind of writer/poet people choose to be in a society. People either choose to be the kind of artist that reflects the current events in a society or the kind of artist that expresses the conflicts they may be going through in a society. I would like to believe that artist, writers or poets choose to express themselves on what they have experienced from society and at the same time reveal any challenges that he or she maybe facing in a society. The artist or poet who conveys the current events of a society is a poet that depicts a subjective historical point of view. This type of writing reveals the feelings and emotions of what he or she is experiencing at that given time. From this perspective it maybe one-sided to the experiences of the poet; nevertheless, still can be useful to the understanding of an individuals experiences of that time. The artist or poet who conveys the conflicts of a society also provides some sort of context to the reader because he/she is giving an insight on the experiences that has occurred. For example, if a poet is to write about economical problems that occur at present day- he/she may express about the difficulty of keeping a job and reveals the economical status of people in current society. At close, a poet can express occurrences of a society and the conflicts he/she is experiencing- and can be valuable to the reader because it provides awareness on past societies and individual experiences. Overall, poetry and literature is influences by a society one way or another.
