Reflenction#3



Aristotle
Aristotle’s literary theory, which people in the past until now can use, is about giving public speech.  His theory can be adapted to people in the real world, and it is very general that people can follow.  His speech separates in to three parts which are Forensic; concerns with the past, Deliberative; concerns with the future, and Epideictic; concerns with the present.  I can see many movie and play use this theory to talk about flashback and flash forward, especially on speech scene.  On the other hand, Plato’s main point is about perfect good.  He wrote anything he wants to write down in his opinion.  He used of understanding of form and reason, but he was missing of fact in human life.  Aristotle’s theory deals with people feeling, so the writers should do what is made people happy and straight forward thing to make them happy, and break their way.  His poetry is separated into comedy, tragedy, and Epic.  Before I took this class, I had no idea about literary poetry.  It is very complex and hard to understand.  Only one scene in the story is meaningful.  All elements in the scene have the meaning.  The professor and all students discussed in the class about meaning of a law court scene.  I admitted my fault that I could not tell what the meaning was, but when classmates started to discuss, I started understanding.  This theory is complicate.  In addition, what sublimity is, it is depended on how people look and experiences people met.
