Analysis Of "13 Ways Of Looking At A Blackbird"
Number of Words: 571 / Number of Pages: 3
... he makes the connection between seeing the
blackbird and him himself metaphorically being the blackbird. He makes this
connection even more clear in the fourth stanza when he says that “A man
and a woman Are one. A man and a woman and a blackbird are one." In the
sixth stanza he goes back to being the poet observer as he watches the
blackbird fly by his icy window. Again in the next stanza he goes back to
the point of view of the blackbird wondering why the men of Haddam only
imagine golden birds instead of realizing the value of the common blackbird.
At this time, he makes the connection that in seein ...

"Dover Beach" By Arnold: Irony, Images, And Illusions
Number of Words: 476 / Number of Pages: 2
... to the
visual sense. While “ Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land” and “With
tremulous cadence slow, and bring...” uses an auditory sense. “Come to the
window, sweet is the night air,” can apply to both senses. Sweet can mean
angelic or precious to qualify to be an visual image, or it can mean almost like
a melodious tune.
Illusions are used in this poem as deception for the girl that the man
is trying to hold a non-romantic conversation with. A theory is portrayed in
this poem by Plato, the world is an illusion. In many case this that falls true.
In the first stanza of the poem , the su ...

Physical Artifacts In Adrienne Rich's "Aunt Jennifer's Tigers" And Seamus Heaney's "The Harvest Bow"
Number of Words: 1639 / Number of Pages: 6
... beliefs and situations.
Thus, the use of physical artifacts provides a freedom to express that
which the characters in each poem lacks in their lives. Though unable to
grasp the images that they create, each character in the poems gains a
sense of self awareness. These utopian moments expressed by the creations
are frozen, images that surpass the lives of their creators and remain
intact with meaning. Through the utilization of physical artifacts, Aunt
Jennifer and the Ornament maker depict idealized situations through the
use of visual imagery, applying symbolism onto the physical artifacts in ...

Poetry: Not Me
Number of Words: 527 / Number of Pages: 2
... He thought of that during supper and hurled.
His mother soon tired of the grades he brought home.
She made him study each day after school.
He was grounded from TV, and from the phone.
He was shut in his room and force-fed gruel.
His grades slowly improved, thanks to his mom.
Although he didn't thank her at the time.
He averaged all B's by the time of the Prom.
He imagined that God had dropped him a sign.
No longer requiring his mom's motivation,
He came home on his own and went straight to his room.
Reading Provid ...

Interpreting Poetry
Number of Words: 688 / Number of Pages: 3
... in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
In the simplest terms possible, Shakespeare is saying that the woman of whom this poem speaks of is beautiful. But even more than that, the eloquence in which he expresses her beauty demonstrates that Shakespeare loves the woman he is addressing.
In what seems almost a response to Shakespeare’s sonnet, Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote a poem titled, “If Thou Must Love Me, Let It Be For Naught”.
If thou must love me, let it be for naught
Except for love’ ...

Compare And Contrast The War Poems By Jessie Pope And Rupert Brooke To Those Of Wilfred Owen
Number of Words: 1980 / Number of Pages: 8
... over the public. Her amazing naiveté made her renowned amongst the British during war- time and in my opinion, her recruiting poem; “Who’s for the Game” is irresponsible. It gives young men, and their families who would want to persuade the men to join the army, a completely false image of war. However, it is an army recruitment poem, and for the reason it was written, I believe it is a very powerful and manipulative piece of propaganda . This is down to the way the poem is seemingly directed at YOU, no matter who is reading it. It makes you feel that if you do not join the army, you will be missing o ...

Blakes's "London": Your Beauty, My Despair
Number of Words: 677 / Number of Pages: 3
... two children at the age of twelve and thirteen,
how she struggled to regain her childhood but failed miserably. Now she
just lives day by day thinking that there is no hope for her or her
children. Blake saw the pain of this and yet he did not rejoice in its
reality, but wept.
“And the hapless soldiers sigh Runs in blood down the Palace walls”
(lines 11-12). Yes. Explain how the truth of families unnecessarily loosing
loved ones to war can cause a merry celebration. A war of hatred or greed
that was not their war to begin with, but the war of governments that
didn't quite get what they wanted ...

Romantic Sonnet
Number of Words: 1036 / Number of Pages: 4
... in
this traditional natural setting is the use of the sea as stormy, deep,
extensive, and dark which ties the speaker in with the setting as the scene
applies to the tone of the poem as well. Also characteristic of the Romantic
sonnet is the retreat from the neo-classical age and its significant historical
references into a new age where it becomes common to speak of "nothing." In
William Wordsworth's "Composed Upon Westminster Bridge," there is no deeper
meaning to be grasped other than the beauty of the day's dawning. The speaker's
view of the morning and its "majesty" and the "calm" that comes ...

Analysis Of Jarrell's "The Death Of The Ball Turret Gunner"
Number of Words: 319 / Number of Pages: 2
... life" as if life only existed in birth and death (line 3). When he
awakens to "black flak" and "nighmare fighters" he seems to imply that all
that lies between birth and death is war (line 4).
The theme to this poem emerges in the last line with almost a plea
that he not be forgotten. When he says "they washed me out of the turret
with a hose" he implies that there is nothing left including the memory of
him and the war goes on.
