Bruce Dawe, Apology For Impati
Number of Words: 684 / Number of Pages: 3
... Dawe uses the flow of the stanza’s to reflect the recurrent image of growth; this image is reinforced by the metaphors of plants and nature used in the poem. The stanzas seem to be heading nowhere, but they are always moving forward. This reflects the growth of the persona’s character and the growth of the love throughout the poem.
“Beans, beans are climbing,” climbing is a metaphor for his love and for the development of his character. Incomplete, not having reached their full potential but ever “growing”.
“Lying hunched in darkness” represents the lack of direction and loss of hope, it is a ...

Number of Words: 411 / Number of Pages: 2
... theme most revolved around by the others is ideal beauty. In using marshalling verse, imagery, rythym, rhyme, and subject matter a poet tries to capture the impression of beauty. Poe's simple definition for beauty was this: "The pleasurable excitement of the soul as it reaches for a perfection beyond this earth."

Poe felt that for a poet to seek appropriate images for ideal beauty he should avoid concrete, ordinary objects of everyday life. Realms ...

... it”, his blood ran cold whenever it fell upon him (106). This is something many people can identify with as many have experienced a hatred for a physical characteristic on someone they know. Just as the character did not understand the hatred but just saw this body part, far out of the control of the old man, as something to be vanquished.

Tale Of Two Cities
Number of Words: 631 / Number of Pages: 3
... closer to us. This book definitely offers insight into life in the two cities at the time of the French Revolution. I think it does an excellent job of depicting just how totally involved some people became in the revolution.
It shows how people were blinded by the desire for freedom from their

excellent characterization, using each character to depict a different aspect of
society, then contrasting them by making them rivals. I really took ...

Never the less, no matter what you believe, within Song of Solomon, t ...

... and symbolism is used in the first two lines of the second stanza, where it says: “In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes?”
The images of “distant deeps or skies” again presents images of a realm of darkness, and one is reminded again of the traditional interpretation of hell. It is implied that the “fire of thine eyes” had its origins in this place, thus reinforcing the symbol. The image of fire in connection with the tiger is conceived again, this time within the eyes. The fire in a tiger’s eyes can be seen as a symbol of ferocity, and it takes no stretch of the imagination to ...
