life struggles
Struggles, challenges, and suffering all strongly evoke human emotions such as anger, sadness, fear, and the feeling you get when you overcome a challenge. For some people, it can inspire great stories, and poems that people will come to recognize. For others, it’s not always the easiest thing to express or explain through writing, but when you are able to it’s a easy thing to relate to. It’s human to go through struggles, and by going through them we get a chance to know people, make deeper connections, and have greater understandings of each other. I know in my life, I met my best friend because we ran into the same problem and helped each other through it, and we‘ll always have that connection. Another reason for writing about struggles is that saying “ misery loves company” because people like sharing their misfortune and suffering. Authors may write about their struggles just to show the world how miserable life really is and that there is no fairy tale ending, and that’s just how it is like in all the readings we were assigned there wasn’t really anything happy about them, some of it was just writing about a sad day in someone’s life.

I think you hit on great point that suffering is not always to convey in writing, and think "the love song of j alfred prufrock" is an example of this. It is almost indecipherable in how it is written, but it is the real ramblings of a man in pain, suffering through existence.
ReplyDeleteI like your comment on how human like to connect through their experiences. It is very relieving to get share both good and bad experiences. Writing is also a great method to do it. Writing allows us to record the moment and than share it when we want to.
ReplyDeleteI love how you pointed out that there are no fairy tale ending. Sooooo true. It doesn't mean that life it awful, but it's not all rainbows and cottoncady.
