Talk:Du Fu

New comments in 2013

Dear Brandon, impressive! Can you try to add a little bit more from the commentator role (maybe indicated by "Contemporary Commentator" and then evaluate and discuss the topic from different angles, put it into context, criticize etc.). Best, Root (talk) 13:58, 25 February 2013 (CET)

WOW! I have nothing to say that could really help you. My only suggestion could be to expand your conclusion, but even then I dont know if it really needs it. --MerchantThief (talk) 00:43, 28 February 2013 (CET)

Good start, I'm impressed- your English writing is quite good. Just a word of advice, double check your spelling ( I have trouble with that too!). I corrected a couple of errors for you ("poets" instead of "poems" etc,).

I like the "tone" of your paper so far. It easy to imagine Du Fu really sitting here talking. I hope you can keep it up in the rest of the paper.Dekeo 05:56, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Have you decided on an argument yet? One option is that you could argue about what had the strongest affect on Du Fu's writing; Taoism, Buddhism, his travels, other poets, personal experiences, or the Classics. You could contrast Du Fu with other poets of the time to prove how he was unique and a rebel, or you could compare him to other poets to show that he wasn't too different. You could try explaining why you think he wasn't popular during his lifetime and why he became popular later. You could argue that he was the best poet, or point out his flaws. You could even do a combination of these things. Name 08:02, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

I generally like it so far. for your aurument you can analize a poem of your ffrom your point of view like WANTONG not Du Fu and support your claims. bye bye... black bird
