One concept that caught my attention this week was
expressive language, which “communicates feelings and attitudes and is used to
bring about an emotional impact on the listener” (Boss, pg 63). This type of
language is popularly noted in religion and poetry. I am taking a creative writing
class this semester, and we are currently studying poetry. The strength of
poetry is when the listeners reminisces about memories or feel the emotions of
the poem. One time, a poem was read to us by the poet, and by the end of the
reading, I was thinking about the happiness I felt playing as a young child
with my friends and how we let our imagination take us to a whole new world. It
kind of shocked me how deeply it affected me because I never knew words could
bring about such feelings. This type of expressive language is very unique and
powerful, and is good for all of us. Reliving my happy memories always reminds
me that I should live within the moment and make the best out of every
situation.
