Meanings

Most of the time poems seem the same, like they have the same meaning/theme, a lot of times about love. I think it was interesting how there were two different types of poets following the War of 1898: modernism and generation of '98. These artists had the same idea about writing about what they believed was going on, or their reactions to the events.

Writing is a good way for people to get their emotions out without anything turning violent. When someone is having a hard time sometimes it's just easier to write it down and get it out of their systems, some write songs, some write poetry, some just write letters. I believe these people writing the poetry helped calm the events and helped people cope with what was going on.
