1. Introduction

We will talk about the poem ​“if you forget me”​ by Pablo Neruda. The reason why

we chose this poem is because we think that it is very beautiful and we can feel a lot of emotions and understand Author’s point of view.

3. Author’s biography Pablo Neruda was born on July, 6 in Chile. He got a lot of prizes, for example “The Nobel of Literature”. He is considered one of the most important poets of his century.

4.Group analysis We think that the first stanza is the introduction and it tells what he will do.

The second stanza talks about the emotions when you start with a person that you love.

In the third stanza the author tells that he won't be dragged if she lets him go “if you love someone let him go�

The next stanza tells that if the person forgets you, you will forget the other person quickly.

19

The stanza number five talks about the end of the relationship and how he will pass the page in his live.

To finish, the final stanza ​tells what would happen if they continued with their relationship and the emotions of the protagonist about this relationship.

4.1.Individual analysis Antia’s analysis I chose this poem because when I read it for the first time I thought that it was happy and sad at the same time because it talks about what would happen if they were together and what would happen if they broke up, it talks about the feelings that she or he has when they start their relationship and the feelings that she/he has when they broke up their relationship When I read this poem for the first time I understood one thing but when I read the poem with my group I understood something different​.

5.Group conclusion We think to work in this project was very funny because we learned about new reading, because we had never worked with poems this way. We liked it very much and if we could, we would repeat​.

5.1.Individual conclusion Antía’s conclusión For me to work in this project is very interesting because before starting the project, when Loly told us about this project I thought that it was going to be very difficult but now I think that it was not so difficult.

Nuria’s conclusion I think that to work in this project is different and a good idea because in the other subjects when we have to analyse poems we have to talk about the meter, rhyme, and their resources. Also I think that it is a good way to know other types of literature, for exemple I didn’t like poems but this year I bought my first

poetry book and I love it. The book and this project made that I want to read more poetry​.

Marta’s conclusion I think that to work in this project was very good, because you learn how to express your feelings, and also we meet new types of very interesting readings. To write poems, for me, was incredible because we learned how to change our way to think and this way we discover new things, for example, how to understand the author’s feelings, or how to interpret differents poems, and new tastes because I didn’t know much about the poetry world and I liked it very much, because I t​hink that it is incredible to be able to express your feelings. I’m

keen on this poem because I think that if you express your feelings about someone, it helps you to order your mind and it is a form to say to the other person you love what you feel, if you are shy. And I like this form to express that feeling because for me, it is very important to tell what you feel.
