The Proper Way to Express My Feeling
Silvina Nugrahwati
There are a lot of ways to express our feeling. One of them is writing a diary. Why diary? Because we can express what we feel without the other people know as much as we want. And for me, writing a diary is one of my hobbies. For the way writing style, either using story or using poetry, I prefer using poetry in writing diary.
When I write using poetry style in my diary, I get more satisfaction then when I write using story style. Why? First, poetry has a deepest meaning making my feeling more meaningful. Second, the diction in poetry makes my writing more beautiful and more interesting. Because in Poetry often uses particular forms and conventions to suggest alternative meanings in the words, or to evoke emotional or sensual responses. The third, in poetry, the diction can make different interpretation for the readers. So, someone who read my diary will not understand what I mean directly. It Mean that my secret can be saved. And the last, poetry is a form of literary art. So, we can make my poetry in the diary becomes my literary work or the ontology of my poetry.
On the other hand, writing diary using story style makes me bored. Sometimes, I feel stuck to write using that way, because I feel hard to make a beautiful diction. Because as I know that way using a simple words. Unfortunately, I even loose my words when I write. And it made my feeling worse. As I want in writing is getting a satisfaction in my soul not the opposite. Then, the other reason is, I can hide my secret because someone can understand what I write directly.
Well, that is why I prefer using poetry in writing diary. Cause, by using that way I cannot only express any feeling that I feel more beautifully but also make a literary work.

yusanthiya : hi silvi ,,,
BalasHapusi think when i read your essay, i said to my self, it is interesting. i like your essay, because it compares two things which are different, and especially why i like it, because i like the topic. but besides that, i want to give you some comments about using word. i will quote one, 'When I write using poetry style in my diary, I get more satisfaction then when I write using story style' i think word of 'then' is not correct, because in that sentence, perhaps silvina wanted to compare two things. and if silvina wanted to compare, silvina can use word of 'than'.
and i will quote one about using of verb. 'someone who read my diary', i think, someone is subject which is singular, so 'read' as verb, it must be added by 's'.
