Abstract
Literature and reality have been said to be closely intertwined; more often than not, the literature we read revolves around the world we live in. Hence, using literature as a medium to present the world to students in the classroom can further expand their classroom experiences. Poetry, in particular, has the ability to draw out emotions in a way that connects to the readers’ lives. This study intends to showcase students’ voices of their classroom experiences through the response poems they have written. Drawing on Rosenblatt’s (1982) reader-response theory, this study aims to explore and understand how students are able to make meaning of their classroom experiences through the themes that emerge in their poems. The poems used as data in this study derived from twelve response poems written by fourth-semester students, who responded to a poem titled ‘Did I miss anything?’ by Tom Wayman (1994). This number emerged as the selected poems were written in more than three stanzas. Through this study, it is revealed the chosen student poems have a variety of themes that can be categorized into three, which are, themes that challenge Wayman’s poem, themes that are neutral, or themes that defend it. This study shows that students are capable of thinking critically and are able to express a vast range of emotions, such as remorse, guilt, contemplation, validation, defensiveness and acceptance in relation to the theme of skipping class in Wayman’s poem. By employing Rosenblatt’s (1982) theory, the students indicated to have developed the ability to relate, reflect and be critical in perceiving their own classroom contexts. By analyzing the students’ poem and understanding the themes present in each poem, this study confirms that reader-response theory gives students a space to express their individual experiences and their emotions towards a particular issue within the scope of their interpretations of Wayman’s poem.
