    W wypracowaniu maturalnym pojawia się polecenie: "Zinterpretuj utwór poetycki." Co to oznacza?

    • AOpisz tylko formę wiersza (gatunek, budowę)

    • CWyjaśnij sens i znaczenie wiersza, analizując jego środki artystyczne i kontekstCorrect
    • DNapisz własny wiersz na ten sam temat
    Why this answer?

    Interpretacja (interpretation) requires explaining the meaning and significance of the poem by analysing its artistic devices (środki artystyczne) and context (kontekst). A mere formal description (budowa, gatunek) fulfills only part of the task; translation and personal creativity are different tasks entirely.
