Эссе

Невозможно быть образованным человеком не зная поэзии

It is impossible to imagine our life without poetry. To our mind, there is no educated person without knowing it. We learn and recite poems at school. In adulthood people choose poetry according to their preferences.  However, others think  that it is a waste of time. They declare  poetry is not an indicator of  educational level. Who is right?

   So, an educated man is not only a person who has a profession or a degree. Firstly, he is a person of a broaden soul with a rich inner world.  It makes people be deep in thoughts and evokes  the whole range of thought-provoking emotions. Moreover, it shows the level of knowing language, its rhythm,  developing the mind by colourful stylistic devices such as metaphors, epithets.

   Nevertheless, there are people who think that poetry is tiresome and needs a lot of time. They believe that  poetry and education have nothing in common.

   We can not agree with the points given above because poetry helps  find beautiful in ordinary life and gives energy. It enriches our language and such ability is necessary in any profession.

   Thus, we strongly believe that poetry elevates human feelings, desires and thoughts. All educated  people need it.
