WHAT IS IT

Living the Moment

Advancement in Technology has always been the hallmark of the 21st century. It has made
a big impact on people especially on lifestyle. One of the many things technology has benefited us
is through having information and communication easier and convenient. In our present
generation, people especially the youth, is so obsessed in using gadgets. That is why, it is
undeniable to say, that the use of gadgets in this modern age has become a way of life. It is
needed in everyday lifestyle and helps us a lot in making things easier and faster. As we become
addicted in these devices, we sometimes forget to live in the moment and just focus on things that
are virtual. The poem that you will be reading is a poem written by Irish writer Eavan Boland.

Europe and European Literature

Europe is one of the seven traditional continents of the Earth. Physically and geologically,
Europe is the westernmost peninsula of Eurasia, west of Asia. Europe is bounded to the north by
the Arctic Ocean, to the west by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south by the Mediterranean Sea, to the
southeast by the Caucasus Mountains and the Black Sea and the waterways connecting the Black
Sea to the Mediterranean. To the east, Europe is generally divided from Asia by the water divide
of the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, and by the Caspian Sea. European literature refers to the
literature of Europe. It includes literature in many languages; among the most important of the
modern written works are those in English, Spanish, French, Dutch, Polish, German, Italian,
Modern Greek, Czech and Russian and works by the Scandinavians and Irish. Important classical
and medieval traditions are those in Ancient Greek, Latin, Old Norse, Medieval French and the
Italian Tuscan dialect of the renaissance. European literature, also known as Western literature,
and can also be defined as the literature written in the context of Western culture in the languages
of Europe, as several geographically or historically related languages. Diverse as they are,
European literatures, like Indo-European languages, are parts of a common heritage belonging to
a race of proud nations which boast the likes of Homer who wrote Iliad and Odyssey, Virgil who
wrote the Aeneid, Dante who wrote Divine Comedy, Chaucer who wrote Canterbury Tales.
These, and other literary masterpieces form part of what we call as Western Canon.

Instructions: Read the poem from Ireland and be able to answer questions for in-depth
understanding.

Atlantis—A Lost Sonnet


Eavan Boland/ Ireland

How on earth did it happen, I used to wonder


that a whole city—arches, pillars, colonnades,
not to mention vehicles and animals—had all
one fine day gone under?

I mean, I said to myself, the world was small then.


Surely a great city must have been missed?
I miss our old city —

white pepper, white pudding, you and I meeting


under fanlights and low skies to go home in it. Maybe
what really happened is

this: the old fable-makers searched hard for a word


to convey that what is gone is gone forever and
never found it. And so, in the best traditions of
where we come from, they gave their sorrow a name
and drowned it.

Poem Analysis

In the first stanza, the narrator begins the poem by asking herself how an entire city could just
disappear. How could an entire city, animals, cars, and buildings, just melt into the ocean--never to be
seen again?

In the second stanza, the narrator again, asks how a whole city could suddenly disappear. She
reminded herself that way back when, the world seemed "smaller", so surely a huge city disappearing
would be a big deal! The narrator then flashes back to her old city where she grew up.

In the third stanza, the speaker thinks back to her hometown, with the amazing food and boardwalks,
and having friends to go home to. Then the narrator makes a guess about really happened to Atlantis.

In the fourth stanza, the narrator tells herself that it would be impossible for an entire city to be lost.
Then she guesses that maybe, Atlantis is just a symbol that people made up to describe the feeling of
losing something, and never getting it back.

lOMoARcPSD|36078453

In the fifth and final stanza, the narrator convinces herself that Atlantis is just a metaphor, used to
give emotions a name and a reason-not an actual city.

About the Poet

Eavan Boland

Eavan Boland was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1944. She is one of Ireland’ preeminent
contemporary poets and the author of A Poet’s Dublin and A Women Without a Country,
among others. Boland is currently working as a professor of English at Stanford University,
where she directs the creative writing program.

She lives in California with her husband, the author Kevin Casey, and their two daughters. In
"Atlantis: A Lost Sonnet," Eavan Boland uses literary devices to illustrate and express her ideas.

Dictionary of English Literature. Retrieved from http://www.credoreference.com )

Here, let us define and identify the different 21st literary genres we enjoy today.

Diary- It is a collection of discrete accounts of a person’s experiences and


thoughts each day.

Drama 3 It is a literary work that tells a story through actions and dialogues.

Comedy- A type of drama that makes the audience laugh.

Downloaded by Clyde Crystal Jade Eramis (xxccjadexx@gmail.com)


lOMoARcPSD|36078453

Fiction- It is a literature that describes imaginary events and people.

Blog- This refers to your regular thoughts, opinions, or experiences that you put
on the internet for the people to read
(Source: Jean-Marie, Gaetane, Anthony H. Normore, and Jeffrey S. Brooks. "Leadership for social justice: Preparing 21st
century school leaders for a new social order." Journal of Research on Leadership Education 4, no. 1 (2009): 1-31.)
.

Literary devices are techniques a writer uses to produce a special effect in their writing.

Examples are:

Simile- It is a figure of speech comparing two unlike things that is often introduced by like or as.

Metaphor- is a figure of speech in which ideas, actions, or objects are described in non-literal
terms. In short, it’s when an author compares one thing to another. The two things being
described usually share something in common but are unalike in all other respects.

Symbolism- refers to the use of an object, figure, event, situation, or other idea in a written work
to represent something else—typically a broader message or deeper meaning that differs from its
literal meaning. The things used for symbolism are called "symbols," and they’ll often appear
multiple times throughout a text, sometimes changing in meaning as the plot progresses.

Hyperbole- is an exaggerated statement that's not meant to be taken literally by the reader. It is
often used for comedic effect and/or emphasis Imagery- is a figure of speech where an author
describes a scene, thing, or idea so that it appeals to our senses (taste, smell, sight, touch, or
hearing). This device is often used to help the reader clearly visualize parts of the story by
creating a strong mental picture.
