Poetry and Hamlet
Read over the definition of Existentialism.

Today I would like you to read over some poetry and select a poem, of your choosing, that shows a character trying to understand their sense of identity or sense of self.

Poetry Question of the Day 2:
Choose ONE of the following...
1. Rap/music versus poetry. Go.
2. Think about the internal struggles Xavier and Hamlet wrestle with. What themes emerge from these struggles? How could poetry be used to express their struggles? Does Hamlet already use poetry?
3. Do you think the definition of poetry has become too flexible? Do you think a specific form is important/demonstrates more skill? Or, is it more about self-expression?
