Comparision between Chandler's Literary theory, and Fish How to recognize a poem when you see one.

Chandler’s “Introduction to Literary theory” and Fish’s “How to Recognize a Poem when you see one are very similar. “How to Recognize a Poem” includes a structural pattern. The pattern between Jacobs, Rosenbaum, Levin who are Hebrew, two throne, and Hayes are Christian, and one Ohman is ambiguous. This allows for a distinction to be made similar to Chandlers genre, certain patterns are made for one to choose the specific genre. For example, based on a movies setting, plot, time frame and maybe taking into consideration the style of clothing of the characters, helps one classify a genre. Certain “structural patterns” that people are used to seeing. In comparison to our discussion in class, genres sometimes cause controversies, because some do not believe that a particular text belongs to a specific genre. This is a result of different views. Also described as “old testament events with new testament events meanings” This can cause a “blurred” vision as how fish describes it. Due to these different views people look at the text in another light. A question was asked during our class discussion which stated “ How can one tell what genre the text belonged to”. (Professor Henkel) one answer stated that a movie would be considered romantic comedy because of its outrageous moments, that go along with the plot. Usually characters fall in love. Or the Rich person develops a strong emotional attachment with the poor person. Or the poor person develops a strong liking for the rich person, and they live happily ever after. These characteristics tells one what genre this movie is apart of. A comparison can be made in Fish “How to recognize a poem when you see one” in paragraph six. “You know a poem when you see one because its language displays the characteristics that you know to be proper to poems”. ( Fish) Just like texts and genres, Fishes describes certain characteristics in a poem. Chandler mentions that “ There is a relationship between the person who creates the text, and the person who reads it”. This statement can be displayed in Fish “How to recognize a poem when you see one”. Where he describes the poem search as “following a recipe” (Fish). Readers are directed to what to look for in a poem, “ they instruct them in ways of looking that will produce what they expect to see”.
