Question: say in a nutshell (or a paragraph) what has most interested you about this brief familiarity with Webb’s work. This could be in the form of a letter to a friend or to a member of your family.
Dear, whom ever this may concern.
I felt it necessary to highlight an inspirational tale of a poet who, out of all odds, created wonderful pieces of art completely contrasting his lifestyle. His strength to face his situation and continue to express himself through his poetry shows the outstanding will of human kind.
It is inspirational people like Francis Webb who’s story and their art, teach us valuable lessons in life. Whether it be on purpose or not, they share their stories and we, as readers, travel alongside them.
Webb in particular, has his story of practically living in an asylum most of his life yet is still able to create magnificent pieces of art through expression. This expression is a gem in the world as today so many people are manipulated into the confinement of others. We are all TAUGHT from when we are little, from our parents, to many, many teachers, to our bosses and even medical staff what we can or should and cannot and should not do.

Artists, I feel, are people struggling to accept these ways and are trying to express this struggle to others. By letting others know, some type of recognition is formed and it is only then, when something can be done to help.

Through taking mental and emotional adventures with writers and painters and all artists, we can go on a journey of self-discovery to find out where we stand and who we are as a person. Are we one to side with the protagonist or the writer? or both? Do we accept critics options of artworks as solid fact? Or do we make our own interpretation?

Hi Emily,
I really enjoyed how you were able to retell Webb’s story without coming across as too overwhelming, particularly through the provoking questions at the end of your letter. I especially liked your description of his artistic expression as a “gem in the world”. One thing I would suggest for next time, however, is perhaps addressing the letter to someone specific rather than “whom it may concern”, considering that letters are rather personal texts.

Hi Emily, i really enjoyed reading your blog this week. I agree with how Franciss Webb, even if he was in an asylum still spread message through his work. I would have liked for you to also include some messages in his poetry. In addition, for future reference, the sentence where you state “We are all TAUGHT from when we are little, from our parents, to many, many teachers, to our bosses and even medical staff what we can or should and cannot and should not do” sounds too repetive. Ultimately, you blog for this week was a good read.
Keep up the good work,
Ronny.
