Poetry: Always And Forever
Number of Words: 393 / Number of Pages: 2
... Something I hardly understand,
But I must tell you how I feel.
So I close my eyes,
And let my heart guide my hand.
Perhaps the tears that falls from my eyes,
Will show you my love and how much it means to me.
To me our love is everything.
I believe love will find it's way and show us the answers
To the questions being revealed,
I promise you that I will always love you
And I never meant to hurt you.
I know you love me,
I can see it in your eyes and feel it in your touch,
I promise I will never ...

“Fanthorpe’s Poetry Stimulates The Reader To See People And Things In A New Light”
Number of Words: 1536 / Number of Pages: 6
... people who work in hospitals have the same traits that the rest of us have. But we prefer to see people who are in charge of our health, our recovery or our lives even, as better and stronger than that. The title “Patients” has two sets of values. It is referring to the general patients of the hospital and also it is saying that everyone in the hospital is in fact a patient, including the staff.
The poem BC:AD is like its title, a short, snappy poem. It presents an unconventional way of looking at the birth of Christ. It challenges us to see this supposedly momentous occasion, the birth of Christ ...

Barbie Doll: An Analysis
Number of Words: 729 / Number of Pages: 3
... faded under the standards of society.
In the second paragraph, her true identity & characteristics are further described in more detail. She had everything a "normal" happy girl could have; yet she didn't meet the norms of society. She was not what society expected a girl to look like so she slowly became a victim of society's expectations. As is mentioned in the second to last line of paragraph 2, she "went to & fro apologizing. Everyone saw a fat nose on thick legs." She no longer saw herself in that same light as before, that light which allowed her to see equality in everyone. How the world ...

Analysis Of Blake's "London"
Number of Words: 989 / Number of Pages: 4
... even a river which is a force of nature, is owned in London. When Blake says that he sees "marks of weakness, marks of woe" in "every face" he meets, he means that he can see how this commercialism is affecting everyone rich and poor.
Yet, despite the divisions that the word charter'd suggests, the speaker contends that no one in London, neither rich or poor, escapes a pervasive sense of misery and entrapment. The speaker talks of how in "every cry of every man" he hears the misery. Blake is once again reminding us that this is affecting everyone. As he goes on to comment on he can hear it in " ...

Analysis Of John Donne's Sonnet 10 And Meditation 17
Number of Words: 434 / Number of Pages: 2
... In the final stanza he says that our
lives are but a short sleep compared to the eternal live we have after we
awaken from that sleep. Once we die the soul is alive and death no longer
presides. We are brought into eternal life. Death can no longer take us
because it already has.
Meditation 17, by John Donne
The passage that I chose that best demonstrates the theme is, “No
man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent,
a part of the main.” This passage says that no one is by themselves in
this world there are always people and spirits there to help and guide us. ...

Tony Harrison's Poetry And His Relationship With His Parents
Number of Words: 1806 / Number of Pages: 7
... obligation to be the emotional rock of the family, his role as the father. Harrison’s father had great love for him, however Harrison resented the way that he put him down, however the father was proud of the son but had no way of conveying this emotion. In later life Harrison did not think of his father as an illiterate wreck, who had no chance of glory. The father could not keep the same social ground as the son and this was what divided them, he could understand the beauty of literature. The fathers emotions on the lose of the mother were great and life could not continue in the Harrison household ...

"Dover Bitch": Mockery Of Victorian Values In "Dover Beach"
Number of Words: 352 / Number of Pages: 2
... a scary reality in Hecht's mind that times were changing and women
wouuld not be at every beaconing call of their husband. Hecht reinforces his
Ideas of change by taking Arnold's "...the cliffs of England stand, glimmering
and vast" and transforms the Victorian idea of women into "...cliffs of England
crumbling away behind them,". This supports the idea that Hecht is aware of the
changes that are happening and he is envious of the way things used to be.
In short, Hecht uses the Victorian values shown in Arnold's "Dover Beach" as a
comparison to the changes of values of his time. Hecht brings reality ...

Analysis Of The Poem: The Fly
Number of Words: 633 / Number of Pages: 3
... it lives in and
feeds off of.
The second stanza depicts the fly flying as a minute messenger of filth
and disease. It is described landing on the heap of dung, then
contaminating all that is clean with its filth and decay. Its hungry
burrowing and laying of maggots in a dead body is described, as is its
perpetual shyness from its adversary, man.
In the third section, the fly's close interaction with those that would
destroy it is discussed. The horse is shown as being its mortal enemy,
sweeping it with what the fly sees as the hurricane force of its tail. The
author shows how the fly dares to ...

Harlem By Langston Hughs: Analysis
Number of Words: 442 / Number of Pages: 2
... black people had to put up with. He talks about how prices of food are going up, tax increases, and jobs black could never get just because they are colored. In the first and second stanza the tone is one of anger and frustration, but in the last stanza however, it seems to be a threat or a warning to white society. The last several lines state, “ And wonder what we’re gonna do in the face of what we remember.
Finally, the poem, in some aspects reflects every day life in Negro America. Not all, but a good number of African-Americans live in urban areas and central cities. Harlem is one of t ...

Poet's Use Of Mockery As Diction In Poem
Number of Words: 382 / Number of Pages: 2
... towards the heroes as people. It seems to elevate
the status of the majors to a false superior position. "Scrap" makes it seems as
if the soldier's death occurred on a playground, not a battlefield. It seems to
trivialize war in general.
"And when the war is done and the youth stone dead,
I'd toddle safely home and die - in bed."
The poet's last lines give the reader an insight into the true wishes of the
soldier. The youth stone dead allow the reader to acknowledge the finality of
death and the wasted lives of the young soldiers while the old, fat men are
allowed the luxury of li ...
