Reading and Thinking
【习题】
(1) Before you read, discuss the questions with your partner.
1. Compared with other forms of literature such as the novel, drama, and the short story, what are the characteristics of poetry
Compared to other forms of literature, poetry tends to be shorter though a poem can be very long. Words are used differently, not in sentences and paragraphs like in novels, but lines and stanzas. Often grammar and punctuation are ignored or used differently. Poetry is more emotional, and the possibilities are much more open than in prose.
