Edgar Allan Poe's "The Bells": Analysis
Number of Words: 379 / Number of Pages: 2
... clamor and clangor out of tune in order to send
the message of alarm to those around it.
In the forth stanza there are bells that are rung for the diseased.
He says that the noises they make are mainly moans, and groans, from their
rusty iron throats. This gives the feeling of sadness and sorrow. He
also makes it seem like the bells are alive, and they want to be rung
making more people dead. Which means that they are glad when death comes
around.
I think that Poe repeated everything so that people get a sense of
what really is happening. But I think, when he says things over, and
over like the wo ...

Andrea Del Sarto: A Statement Worthy Of Examination
Number of Words: 1814 / Number of Pages: 7
... yet contain deeper, more specific meaning. First of course, the
pessimistic mood of the statement must be identified. For to understand
the implications of the quote, the pessimism needs to be understood.
Browning is writing from the point of view of del Sarto, a severely
depressed painter, yet comments like these come from the mind of Browning.
How is Browning to know del Sarto’s particular beliefs? In fact, Browning’
s knowledge of del Sarto is confined to one, single biography of the
painter that Browning read. Andrea del Sarto is as much Browning speaking
as it is del Sa ...

Exploring The Theme Of Premature Death In Three Poems
Number of Words: 1605 / Number of Pages: 6
... direction. The character in the story is certainly not having a “normal” spring break at all, as he is spending it grief-stricken over the death of his four-year old brother. If one examines this title on an interpretive level, the word “break” takes on a new meaning, as it could refer to the death of the child as breaking the heart or spirit of the family and the speaker.
The situations and tones in the poems are very similar, in that all the poems deal with the speaker in the poem expressing deep emotion over the death of their departed loved ones. However, each poem is different in the events th ...

Comparison And Contrast Of William Blake's Poems
Number of Words: 2744 / Number of Pages: 10
... "O Earth, O Earth, return!
"Arise from out the dewy grass;
"Night is worn,
"And the morn
"Rises from the slumberous mass.
"Turn away no more;
"Why wilt thou turn away?
"The starry floor,
"The wat'ry shore,
"Is giv'n thee till the break of day."
The Chimney Sweeper (Innocence)
When my mother died I was very young,
And my father sold me while yet my tongue
Could scarcely cry "'weep! 'weep! 'weep! 'weep!"
So your chimneys I sweep & in soot I sleep.
There's little Tom Dacre, who cr ...

Sonnet 71: Forget Me When I’m Gone?
Number of Words: 446 / Number of Pages: 2
... is dead and to not even speak the poet’s name. This repetiveness of forgetting the poet would really make the audience feel guilty, and make the audience feel obligated to mourn, which is the poet’s true intentions in writing this particular poem.
This poem does contain some imagery reinforced by alliteration. The words, “surely sullen bell”. The sullen bell is a form of auditory imagery. It simulates bells chiming at a funeral service at a church. The bells are really the only vivid imagery used. The lines after that contain little to none. However, the vivid imagery of the bells become ...

Analysis Of The Poems Of William Wordsworth
Number of Words: 2657 / Number of Pages: 10
... that he presents in his writings
(Wordsworth, William DISCovering).
Wordsworth went to college at St. John's College in Cambridge and
later wrote that the highlight of those years was his walking tour of
France and Switzerland taken with his friend, Robert Jones (Watson 1421).
He graduated in 1791 when the French revolution was in its third year, but,
even though he had showed no prior interest, he quickly supported the
Revolution's goals. After Wordsworth was forced to flee France he became
involved with the studies of philosopher William Godwin; Godwin became one
of the most inveterate influ ...

Number of Words: 1154 / Number of Pages: 5
... the cavalry to hasten their search and
find him. The troops hear him and begin to come barreling around the bend
only to hear the dying soldier murmur his last screams. In "Dulce," the
regiment are tired and marching like "old hags" because they are fatigued.
As the enemy discovers them they attack by dropping a gas bomb on the men.
As they scatter for their masks one man doesn't quite make it. He goes
through an agonizing process of dying. Like the soldier in Rosenberg's
poem his cries out for his troops, his friends, to help him. To no avail
does he get any help and the whole squad is force ...

Crossing Brooklyn Ferry: One And The Same
Number of Words: 867 / Number of Pages: 4
... lead the same life as they, who
lead the same life as their children will and their ancestors did. The
poet questions the significance of a person's achievements by asking, "My
great thoughts as I supposed them, were they not in reality meagre [sic]?"
It would be hard for any person to measure their self-accomplishments on
the planetary scale which Whitman is speaking of. The second verse of the
poem introduces the metaphor of the world being a "simple, compact, well-
joined scheme" with the people dissolved into the "eternal float of
solution." Like the mechanical"scheme" that Whitman refers to, m ...

... a sword and eight horses with
golden cheek plates.
The second act of Beowolf's conflict with grendel showing his
nobility is not with Gredel himself but with Grendels mother. After Grendel
was killed his mother was very angry and killed a knight in king Hrothgar's
court the same way her son had. King Hrothgar was very disturbed by this
and didn't know what to do. He called for Beowolf and told him of a
dangerous swamp where Grendel and his mother lived. The king also said that
no one would go into the swamp to kill Grendel's mother. The noble Beowolf
answered Quickly "sorow not O King! I will persue ...

... I've learned -
That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be
the last time you see them.
I've learned -
That you can keep going long after you think you can't.
I've learned -
That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
I've learned -
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I've learned -
That regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first,
the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its
place.
