Comparing a poem to everyday life

Element of choice is what the poem implied about . This theme is emphasized when the speaker of the poem got tired and sick ' of hearing extensive lectures of the learn 'd astronomer , he decided to went outside the hall and there he knows and discovers the beauty of stars (line 6-8 . www .quotations .about .com .This simply cues that learning does not only comes from the words of experts , from the book , maps , and other figures but by chasing it in reality . Learning is a continuous process When the narrator went outside the hall

, it signifies that there is more way to that

In real setting , our learning is only dependent to what is only provided to us . We have deprived ourselves to learn and experience things in our own way . As pictured out in the poem , we can sometimes be compared to the crowd ' the audience of the lecturer who seems also reliant - they have barred the opportunity to discover it by themselves . In everyday life , there are many opportunities given to us only that we have to pick the right choice to chase that opportunity - to learn (John L . Waters 2002

The scenario of the poem can also be best pertained to the academic setting . Commonly , students perceive that learning is measured academically that is why they rather choose to explore books and analyze problems than observing real situations . This complexity makes them ideal , they can provide explanations but does not aid to the real need of the problem

This is a challenge to educator and to students that the more variety of methods of learning to take , the greater the chances to grow as thinker and knower . And the key to this possibility is making appropriate choices

To learn is to experience , and to experience is to make a choice
