An Apology for Poetry

the Apology on Prezi

Poetry is a useful tool in the system of learning. It's capabilities lean towards the idea of having a personal and imaginative feel towards the author. History and philosophy play a big impact on the society; however, it doesn't allow the student to interact with it and express their own feelings. It has been told that when an individual is more connected with the topic, it is easier for them to grasp the concept. Sidney develops different types of learning through his literature, which requires the reader to think more about what is being said. Poetry, in a way, makes the reader to process and ponder on the things the author is portraying. Therefore, poetry can be more beneficial to the human thought because it requires more thinking than historical facts where people mainly only memorize. Sir Philip Sidney created poetry that was didactic and entertaining.
