Read this for school!

And I'm not smart enough to understand any of this!!

It seems that I'm really struggling with this task. I feel so frustrated because I just can't seem to make sense of it all.

Maybe I need to read it more carefully, or look up some of the words I don't know.

But even then, I'm not sure if I'll be able to understand it.

I wish there was someone who could explain it to me in a way that I could understand.

Maybe I should ask my teacher or a classmate for help.

But for now, I'll just keep trying to read and make sense of it on my own.

I hope that eventually, it will all click and I'll be able to understand it.

Until then, I'll keep working hard and not give up.

The study of Aristotle's poetics provides a clear reflection on how to weave a story while attending to the sense of its ultimate goal: generating emotions and feelings.

His reflections are still relevant to contemporary theater, cinema, and literature, and offer important lessons that are applicable to them. The plot of the actions (argument) is the most important, while the characters, staging, discourse, and technique are not as significant. This lets us know why some stories make us feel emotions that stay with us over time, while others do not, as well as their reasons.

Even though poetics imitates reality, "it is not the poet's mission to tell what has happened, but what can be, according to what is likely or necessary." Thus, Aristotle asserts that poetics is much more philosophical and serious than history. Poetry speaks of the universal, while history speaks of the particular, insofar as the former can tell truths through a fabric of lies.

The text is short and its style may seem unstructured. However, its reading is agile.

I didn't understand much of this because I have little familiarity with Greek epics and tragedies.

However, it is interesting to note that even with this lack of knowledge, I can still find a connection to something more contemporary.

In this case, it's the ability to quote Aristotle while arguing about the unnecessary Star Wars prequels.

Although the two seem worlds apart, there is a strange sort of parallel.

Just as Aristotle's works have endured through the ages and are still studied and debated today, the Star Wars franchise has had a profound impact on popular culture.

And while the prequels may not have been as well-received as the original trilogy, they still spark passionate discussions among fans.

So, even though I may not fully understand the nuances of Greek epics and tragedies, I can at least use a bit of Aristotle's wisdom to add some depth to my arguments about the Star Wars prequels.

It just goes to show that knowledge from different eras and disciplines can often intersect in unexpected ways.
