MAJOR THEMATIC CONCERNS IN  ONE DAY IN THE LIFE OF IVAN DENISOVICH 1. Dignity      The efforts of the prisoners, and most of all those of  Shukhov , to retain elements of human dignity is among the most important themes in the novel. Despite the barbaric living conditions in the  Stalinist labor camp  in which they are imprisoned, those living there manage to treat each other with respect and even kindness. The stark contrast between the inhumane circumstances in which they find themselves living on 200 grams of bread and sleeping on bare mattresses with holes, highlights the ability of human beings to overcome terrible obstacles in the struggle for dignity and recognition.

Poetry’s definition

-
Poetry’s definition :  1. Percy Bysshe Shelley : There are a few more choice snippets from Shelley’s 1821 essay, A Defence of Poetry, that articulated the essence of poetry: “Poetry, in a general sense, may be defined to be ‘the expression of the imagination’: and poetry is connate with the origin of man.” “Poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which is distorted.” 2. Robert Frost : “Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.” “Poetry is what gets lost in translation.” 3. Salvatore Quasimodo : “Poetry is the revelation of a feeling that the poet believes to be interior and personal which the reader recognizes as his own.” 4.
