Here's why:
* Literature response is a broad term that encompasses any written or spoken reaction to a literary work. This can include personal interpretations, critical analysis, or even just personal reflections.
* Literary analysis is a specific type of literature response that focuses on the deeper meaning and structure of a literary work. It involves examining elements like theme, symbolism, literary devices, and authorial intent.
Therefore, when you analyze a poem, you are responding to it in a specific and critical way. You are going beyond simply stating whether you liked it or not, and you are diving into its complexities to understand its deeper meaning.
Here's an example:
* Simple response: "I really liked the poem because it was sad."
* Literary analysis response: "The poem's use of dark imagery and metaphors like 'a heart of stone' effectively conveys the speaker's profound grief and sense of emotional isolation."
As you can see, the literary analysis response goes beyond a simple emotional reaction and demonstrates a deeper understanding of the poem's techniques and meaning.
