2
tone,
voice,
sound,
response,
and
so
forth
in
poetry;
that
is
why the
writer
interests
to
discuss
it.
The
writer
chooses
Khalil
Gibran's
work
to be
analyzed
in
this
thesis.
Gibran
was born
in
Bechari
(Bsharri),
Lebanon,
a mountain
vi!lage
of Maronite
Christian,
in
1883.
He
was
a
talented
child.
His
first
book
was
AL-MUSIQA
(1904), and
followed
by
two
collections
of short
stories
and
novelette
in
1912.
From
1918,
he
wrote
mostly
in
English
and
managed
to
revolutionize
the
language
of poetry
in
the 1920s
and
1930s.
His
first
book
for
the
publishing company
Alfred
Knopf
was
The
Madman
(1918), a
slim
volume of
aphorisms
and
parables
written
in
biblical
cadence
somewhere
between
poetry
and
prose.
Although
Gibran was
not
a
great
poet
in
verse,
and
most
of
his
writings
in
prose
should
not be
regarded
as
'poetry',
he
opened
doors
to
a
new
kind
of
creativity (!illp://www.kafel.cornl!loetry/Gibranlgibran.html).
Gibran's
best-known
work
is
The
Prophet, a
partly autobiographical
book of
28
poetic
episodes,
which
has been
translated
into
over 20
languages
is
one of
the
reason
why the writer
decides
to
use
Gibran's
work
as her research.
Gibran
makes
the
writer
interested
to
analyze
his
work
because
he
has
opened
her point
of
view
about
life.
He
teaches
her
to
see
the
different
side
of
!ife
and
the
different
side
of
human.
Besides
that,
his
writing
style,
a
combination of
beauty
and
spirituality,
well
known
as
Gibranism (
is
another
reason
to
analyze it.
