REFLEXIVE WRITING

 reflexivity: the embodied researcher; looking at yourself looking in the mirror.
How are YOU affecting your work, a way to approach interpretation as the same part of the same whole as the same truth. 



Reflexive: introspective/self-reflection, looking at your own implication in a situation while creating the text; the influences absorbed and presented ,decisions and effects

HIGHLIGHTS SALIENT POINTS
This essay unpacks the creative process of my two poems titled () and (), on the focal point of conception, implementation, and revision. The selected revisions in turn will be expounded under the framework of reflexivity.
-Working with a voice and tones that fit the intention of the poem

OUTSTANDING KNOWLEDGE OF MATERIAL: INNOVATIVE AND ORIGINAL CONTENT
ANALYTICAL CONCEPTS, FOCUSED ARGUMENT

OUTSTANDING CRITICISMS TOWARDS EVIDENCE OF EXISTING DEBATES, - line in poem, struggles, decisions, before and after in drafts, MHRA citations of references, influence, inspirations

Process of writing for both poems

                           SIN 
meek measures taken     a muted mug  still tinkling as i swill   
at each pill      a pause      i listen to its tune thinking before i swallow
sing    play    yearn     notess     pool silky refrain hold
two drops                of sweat glistening on soft dunes of skin
eerie tingling ache unsurfaced held
release in the k  e  y    
    o
      f      
         
              G               

(3: reframe poolsilky refrain hold interpreted as drink/liquid. Revise.)
(4: juxtapose liquid with sweat—image parallelism)
(5: foregrounded padat)
(6: weaker, play on space not constrained within a line to exaggerate )
Redundancy does mean stagnancy and lack of progression e.g. pause meek muted
(1: tinkle connotations)

ABSURDISM, EXISTENTIALISM, FREE WILL, POSTMODERNISM

 After the war, Introduction The first world war threw society into a state of disillusionment, and a fracturing of the staunch belief in morals became prominent, sparking literary advancements that challenged romantic ideals, advocating for a new perception of stability and sensibilities. In the poem Gerontion by T.S. Elliot, the modernist stance of fragmentation and the pursuit of purpose lies in man’s actualization of himself. Meanwhile, Samuel Beckett’s waiting for Godot written in the post-war environment of World War II can be viewed as an attack on modernism, rejecting its ideological claims to legitimise purposeful meaning that interprets the world of Estragon and Vladimir with a Grand Existential Narrative . Nonetheless, both these arguments provide a post-war lens that views life without inherent importance nor singular purpose/essence, resulting in the rise of ‘absurdism’— a search for answers in a world that offers no true answer . In this essay, the aforementioned conc...

Bredlik

 https://yeahwrite.me/writing-help-bredlik/ Bredlik isn’t as easy as it looks, folks. It’s a very tight form with very tight parameters. Technically bredlik is four lines (two rhyming couplets) in iambic tetrameter, or two stanzas of four lines each in iambic diameter with an ABCB rhyme scheme. The other thing that bredlik has going on is that the original poet took inspiration for the poem not only from the incident but from the fact that it happened in a re-enactor setting. So he used 18th century spellings (or reasonable facsimiles thereof) for some of the words.

Manglish and its Cina Particles

"The ubiquitous word lah ( [lɑ́]   or   [lɑ̂] ), used at the end of a sentence, can also be described as a particle that simultaneously asserts a position and entices solidarity.  Note that 'lah' is often written after a space for clarity, but there is never a pause before it. This is because originally in Malay, 'lah' is appended to the end of the word and is not a separate word by itself." SNEAKING SUSPICION: "lah" was originally from the Cantonese practicing south of China. The land of Malaya had relations with China since the Ming dynasty, when China was the protector of the Malaccan Sultanate (maybe even from the 5th-6th century), and the use of la as a sentence-suffix particle got integrated into the Malay language its formation, probably during the second phase is Early Modern Malay (1500-ca. 1850) that witnessed the indigenization of Arabic loan words, changes in the affix system, and a rather liberal word order.  Confirmation alternatives: ...
