Hi Guys, last hr i just made a small practice essay for section III, and just like if someone would help me with "The Door", here's what i've got so far:
In M. Holub's The Door change is said to be an action of which you should undertake. Need help with this intro
The poem is comprised of 5 stanza's, each beginning with "Go and Open the Door". This suggests to take action towards change, and have a different view.
It is said that change is uncertain "Maybe outside there's...", Whether the outcome of the change be simple "...a tree...", The building blocks to something bigger "...or a wood...", something pleasant "...or a garden...", or ultimately something completely different to what would be expected "...or a magic city..."
Here i wish to talk about the following, but do not understand what this part of the poem is talking about:
Go and open the door.
Maybe a dog's rummaging.
Maybe you'll see a face,
or an eye,
or a picture
of a picture.
Holub also states that no matter what the outcome of the change, for good or for bad, it at first may seem uncertain whether the change is desirable, or undesiable, but over time it will eventually become clear "If there's a fog, it will clear"
No matter how insignifacant the change may seem to be, still undertake it. Holub says this, by suggesting that "Even if there's only darkness ticking, even if there's only hollow wind". This tells the reader that no matter how small or empty the outcome may seem, change should still be undertaken. Holub isolates 'nothing' in "even if nothing is there, go and open the door" to emphasise 'nothing' to the reader, giving it greater meaning.
Finally, in the last stanza, the length is reduced to 3 lines to give a sudden impact on the reader, concluding that after change there will always be something in the end "At least there'll be a draught".
Any reccomendations? Also, feel free to use this as help (Don't completely copy tho ) as it's to help everyone (That's if any of it is even right )
