Why are you scared.... I love my ob/gyn

I have an underlying condition that makes cervical cancer more likely.....

If that's how you view symbolism, you're going to hate the Da Vinci Code.

I don't think that way.
But in this case...
I do.

I agree. I prefer to read stories, poems, etc. for what they are, not what they could be.

Poems are the epitome of symbolism. That's what a poem is. Symbolism.

You should never read Shakespeare in literal terms.

I have an underlying condition that makes cervical cancer more likely.....

So, you'd rather stay in the dark about the cancer and just hope it goes away?

If I were more suseptable to a certain illness, I would make sure I got checked regularly. To not do so would be ridiculous.

I do.

What, what?

I don't like poems.

 

[Connor002]

English teachers are AWESOME. I'm had some great ones.

I enjoy english...

And symbols are not made up.

Yes they are.
If no one made them, where did they come from? :lookaroun :veryconfu :lookaroun

I highly doubt the Aslan resurrection scene mirrors that of Jesus Christ's so perfectly on accident.

Well... why not?
Stranger things have happened. :lookaroun

 

[Pongo]

I don't like poems.

Yet you read them.

This reminds me of Aestheticism. You should read into Oscar Wilde.

 

[Pongo]

That's not what I meant.

Well... why not?

That's true, but such a parallel coming from a devout Christian writer who wrote numerous texts on Christianity...

I don't think it was mere coincidence.

Understandable...but the more reason to see him more often.... You need to take care of yourself..its important.....:kiss:

I didn't say it was rational, thanks for the encouragement.....

Not necessarily.
Most rely heavily on imagery, more-so than symbolism.
Although the two are very similar.

You should never read Shakespeare in literal terms.

A. I can if I want to.
B. Where did that come from?
C. I somewhat agree...

 

[CaptainMichael]

Not under free will. I only read poems because I was required to in school.

 

[Connor002]

I'm just throwing the option out there.
It's not fair to automatically assume something without looking at other possibilities.

I refuse to sugar coat anything as serious as cancer. That of all things needs to be detected ASAP!

 

[Pongo]

B. Where did that come from?

When he mentioned poems, it made me think of two things: Shakespeare's sonnets and Emily Dickinson.

Neither of which I am a fan of and neither of which I suggest reading under a literal eye.

I'm staying out of this debate, but I'm enjoying it immensely!

That's true.

But I think this one was actually intentional. But my name isn't Clive Staples Lewis.

...

Or is it? :drevil:

I agree with Michael.
Get checked.

I aim to please
