Contradiction In Antigone

Contradiction In Antigone
The death of a loved one is often tragic for most families, but may drive individuals to do heroic
acts. In the play Antigone, she seeks to be successful in the burial of her beloved brother. Her
actions speak louder than words in her ambitious, yet stubborn behavior, to bury her brother with
dignity and respect. Antigone exhibits her aggression that causes readers to question society and
laws. Antigone is fighting Creon, King of Thebes, for the dignity and honor of her brother rather
than herself. She remains committed to her family and disapproves of the political shaming for this.
The poem, If We Must Die, contains language that describes the characteristics of Antigone. The

Death Is Not Master By Thomas Miller
Let them die – They want eternity In May Miller's Poem "Death is not Master" the persona explains
that death is not the master that will increase the desperation but it is a way to become eternally
calm. Many poems on the topic of death explain how it is as powerful of a thing that fears the
existence of human beings, but Miller's persona death is a way to achieve eternal serenity. She
explains death as something that can end all the worldly tears, desires and tension and transform the
human memory into a sculpture which is unaware of tensions. Miller's persona believes that
blocking death will be unfair as it will be a barrier to the everlasting happiness and calmness that
lies inside the grave. Miller's persona is an elaboration of Christian beliefs that death ends all
worldly problems as an eternal life starts after the death. The eternal life of a human or corpse after
death is same as that of 'sculpture' which shines at night and remain in one place free of all tensions
and problems. As the life after death is full of calmness and happiness, so it must not be blocked and
everyone must welcome it to gain the everlasting lasting life. Thus, in Miller's perspective death is
not the master; instead, it is the slave of eternal life of serenity and calmness that lies ahead. So, no
one should try to become a barrier by blocking the death. Repetition of 'you' six times and 'I' three
times creates the relationship between 'I' and 'You' who love each other a lot and never want

Breaking And Entering Sherman Alexie Summary

Pablo Neruda Poem Analysis
I want you to stop and think about tone in day to day conversations. It mostly depends on the body
language, volume of voice, and pitch of the person speaking. Written poems, on the other hand,
develop their tone through imagery, language use, and form. To show this, I will be using the poem
"Tonight I can write" by analyzing how Pablo Neruda works with distant imagery, nostalgic past
tense, and repetitive form to develop a grief–filled tone. Through my analysis, I will be mentioning
that the author generates loneliness in the persona. I expect the reader to agree that solitude is a state
naturally feared and unwanted by humankind because of our undeniable biological drive to
reproduce and survive, which requires the company of others. With that being said, I hope that we
can assume loneliness is essentially connected to grief.
The first way I noticed that Pablo Neruda uses form to establish a grief–filled tone in his poem is by
repetition, specifically, of the word "night". The word is present through his entire work. Nights are
linked to darkness, and darkness is neurologically linked to depression. In 2007, some
neuroscientists at the University of Pennsylvania conducted a study with rats which concluded that
light deprivation produces depression in rats. So it is scientifically correct to say that this repeated
darkness adds to the grief–filled tone. His first word in both the title and line 1 of the poem is
"Tonight" (1) which derives from the word night. After this,

Comparison of Federico García Lorca's Poems, Romance de la Pena Negra and La Aurora Romance
de la Pena Negra (Ballad of the Black Sorrow) was written by Lorca on the 30. July 1924
(Catedra:80). It was one of a collection of poems he entitled the Romancero Gitano (Gypsy Ballads)
that, when published, was a huge success, among academics and the general public alike, making
this book one of his most well known pieces of work. There are many reasons why the poems
received such wide acclaim in terms of Lorca's wider audience: It is clear that the ballad, with its
simple, eight–syllable line rhyming structure makes for uncomplicated reading, in addition, the
subject matter would have sparked general interest due to the mysterious nature ... Show more

What better way to reach the masses than via the ballad, a form of verse with a rhyming metre that
was easy to remember and historically used by those unable to read and write to pass stories on
through the generations since the times of the Reconquista. This move towards social responsibility
in the arts was intensified after the American economy crashed in 1929 and is much more tangible
in the collection of poems Lorca entitled Poeta en Nueva York, which he wrote between 1929 and
1930 when he lived in New York and was able to see the effects of the Great Depression first hand.
The Gypsy Ballads have been described as, "una verdadera serie de mitos gitanoandaluces"
(Catedra: 100) and this is what Lorca hoped to achieve, a collection of mythical stories set in a part
real and part imaginary ancient Andalusia, told in ballad–format and using the gypsies as its main
characters because it was this race, ancient, timeless and mysterious, that, through songs, dances and
traditions passed down through generations, were most able to project the ancient Andalusia that
Lorca wanted to portray. The driving force behind the 'Gypsy Ballads' is the myth of the "duende", a
spiritual force that takes possession of the best artists in southern

Essay on An Explication of “a Valediction: Forbidden...
"A Valediction: Forbidden Mourning" is a poem about a couple on the eve of their separation. The
speaker is trying to convince his lady to accept his departure by describing love as something that
transcends the physical and therefore can endure or even grow through separation. John Donne
makes three main points throughout the poem. He informs the reader that the love he and his partner
share is beyond a normal love, that their love is strengthened in absence, and that he compares their
love to twin compasses.
In the first stanza, the speaker uses a simile to compare his parting from his lover to the parting of a
soul from a virtuous man at death, "virtuous men pass mildly away" (line 1) because the virtue in
their lives will give them ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The speaker is attempting to separate physical love to their level of love, which lies on their soul. If
their love is "Inter–assured of the mind" (line 19) they are connected and no distance can bring them
apart.
In the sixth stanza, the speaker creates a simile comparing their love to gold, making it sound
precious and strong. And, just like gold that stretches incredibly far without breaking under
pressure, their love could be expanded and stretched without a "breach" (line 23).
In the seventh stanza, the speaker compares his love to twin compasses feet. In this simile, the
infinity of their love is being shown. The foot of the compass that "far doth roam" (line 30) always
returns to the starting point and he should do the same.
In the last stanza, the speaker explains that it is the strength of the love of his lady that will make
him come back home, where he begun, and they'll reunite.
In conclusion, John Donne uses similes and metaphors to describe the profound relationship
between the two lovers in his poem. He relates through similes that the speakers love is beyond a
normal love. He states that their relationship can grow in absence. And, finally, he uses similes to
compare the perfection and the infinity of his speakers love to a

Pine Island
The poem "Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy's Farm in Pine Island, Minnesota has inspired
reams of analysis and debate and still does to this day. We are presented in James Wright's poem
with several images which are actually distinct, though they are loosely connected by situation, but
is for us connected with them by neither logic nor association. A great majority of the images that
occur in the poem are based off of the basic senses such as our auditory and visual senses. Although
almost basic in a sense, the content of the poem uses our own natural, human senses to express this
aura of mediocrity and usualness. At first glance, one would wonder about the unusually long title of
this poem. The title, although extensive, gives readers an exact location. In this case, that would be
Pine Island, Minnesota. Oddly enough, a specific location actually brings about a sense of
anonymity, considering it is somewhere as out–of–pocket and "normal" as Minnesota. The author
chose such a place to make readers picture the conceived rural image associated with states like
Minnesota, North Dakota, Nebraska, and so forth. With this image in play, the author begins the
poem by speaking of a "bronze butterfly" in Line 1. The description of bronze brings rigidity to the
softness of the butterfly. It also initiates the connection of light throughout the ... Show more content

England's Rose
Princess Diana at the time of her death was arguably the world's most renowned celebrity. Privately,
Diana felt she was just an ordinary person; however, she was much more. She was known to be an
advocate for the helpless and the hopeless. Diana's influence was felt worldwide through her vast
humanitarian activities, which consisted of working with and starting many charities. Diana used
her royal title and her celebrity to raise awareness about many forgotten or overlooked causes. As a
result of her worldwide travels, Diana became the people's princess and the public was intrigued
with her devotion, consideration, and graciousness. Diana's wide and profound influence is seen in

John's audience might recognize the Royal Family and the paparazzi as the wind that blew against
Diana's candle and ultimately snuffed it out. John continues to use picture words in the chorus to
symbolize the struggles Diana faced. In line 12, "when the rain set in" allows the audience to picture
her hard times. Still, Diana was a resilient woman, and her grieving audience would realize that she
persevered over many obstacles in her life. She married at the age of 19, and anyone's marriage is
difficult by itself. Add to the fact that she was thrust onto the world stage when she married into the
Royal Family made it that much harder. John's lyrics suggest that Diana remained positive and
rarely let the dark times get her public persona down. Next, John uses the image "your candle's
burned out long before" (line 15, 31, 47),and the audience is able to picture a candle snuffed out
before it had completely burned. This shows that Diana died early. However, John does not want to
leave his audience with the idea that Diana lived a short life and then died in vain. John's powerful
repetition of "your legend never will" (line 16, 32, 48) shows that Diana did not die in vain. John's
lyrics fill his audience with hope by reminding them that Diana's life will be remembered and that
she did as much in death as she did in life. The emotions conveyed in Elton John's "Candle in the
Wind" showed his

Essay On Anne Sexton
"A number of psychotherapists have explored the use of poems in psychotherapy as an agent of
communication between psychotherapists and client," says David Lester and Rina Terry. Anne
Sexton is a perfect example of the quote above because she uses her poetry as a form of
communication and as an outlet to however she is feeling. In this paper four poems of Anne
Sexton's work will be used to support the quote above: "Music Swims Back to Me", Wanting to
Die", "Her Kind" and "The Room of My Life." These poems portray what Sexton was feeling and
going through at the time and also all four of the poems have a common theme. David Lester and
Rina Terry state, "it is often easier to communicate important messages either through their own
poetry or through the poems of others." (David Lester and Rina Terry) In these four poems, Sexton
clearly is portraying her deepest darkest thoughts and motifs that come out with her diagnosed
depression. As Doctor David Lester and Rina Terry say, "poetry is an outlet for patients who have
trouble communicating their exact thoughts and feelings" (David Lester and Rina Terry). Poetry is a
great outlet for them because it is a free way of expression there is no limit to what you can and
cannot write and more than likely the writers feeling and emotions will come out. But Sexton found
poetry as more of an artform she dealt with so much more aside from her depression, sexton goes
into life experiences and her bad days versus her good days. Also, what

Relationship With Religion In John Donne's Holy Sonnet XIX

constant habit; that when I would not 3 I change in vows, and in devotion. 4 As humorous is my
contrition 5 As profrane love, and as soon forgot:6 As riddingly distempered, cold and hot,7 As

and flattering speeches I court God:10 Tomorrow I wake with true fear of his rod.11 So my devout
fits come and go away12 Like a fantastic ague; save that here13 Those are my best days, when I
shake with feare14. After reading this piece of writing from John Donne, it becomes very clear that
the writer is having an internal conflict with himself. He is going back and forth in his own mind
about how he truly feels about religion. John uses many different tones, word choices, and
metaphors to get this point across to the reader. Overall, after getting a closer look at this writing
one can see that this is clearly about John and his relationship with religion. More specifically, this
passage shows how John is frustrated with his internal conflict over if he is religious or not. In the
end however, it becomes apparent that he truly knows how he should feel. To begin, lines one
through three set the tone throughout the entire paper. For instance, line one says "Oh, to vex me,
contraries meet in one:..." (Line 1). With the beginning "Oh" it gives off an exhausted or frustrated
tone (Line 1). This

Because I Could Not Stop For Death
Emily Dickinson is one of the most important American poets of the 1800s. Dickinson, who was
known to be quite the recluse, lived and died in the town of Amherst, Massachusetts, spending the
majority of her days alone in her room writing poetry. What few friends she did have would testify
that Dickinson was a rather introverted and melancholy person, which shows in a number of her
poems where regular themes include death and mortality. One such poem that exemplifies her "dark
side" is, "Because I Could Not Stop for Death". In this piece, Dickinson tells the story of a soul's
transition into the afterlife showing that time and death have outright power over our lives and can
make what was once significant become meaningless. While we now ... Show more content on

Our entire existence is constrained by time, not even allowing us the right of determining how or
when our mortal lives draw to a close. The ensuing line states, "He kindly stopped for me" (Line 2).
From this, the reader could possibly deduce that the narrator was glad to see death. Dickinson was
known throughout her life to have been oddly fascinated with death and immortality, so it's not out
of the question to assume that this fascination was reflected in the narrator's personality and was
why death was welcomed. However, a more likely conclusion is that Dickinson was merely being
ironic. Death is ominous as it is a leap into the unknown; we simply cannot fathom the eternity of
afterlife. Taking us without consent from our lives (which we already have no power over), and
thrusting us into an incomprehensible eternity is not exactly a kind act to commit, thus irony was
used in this case. This further strengthens the idea that our lives are out of our control because with
or without consent, death will choose to take a life whenever he pleases. The first stanza concludes
by stating, "The carriage held but just ourselves/And Immortality" (Lines 3–4). These lines are used
to acknowledge that there is a difference between death and time, because while they work in unison
they still are not one and the same. Time has control over our lives during both mortality and

Analysis Of John Donne 's ' Batter My Heart
John Donne's poem, "Batter my heart, three–personed God," holds the central theme that he has
rekindled his faith and love in God. By proving his faith to God, he hopes it will be enough to show
God that he finally needs to be saved. Faith is not the only theme that can be found in this poem.
Love is also prevalent in the poem. The theme of love shows his undying devotion to God, his back
turned towards the enemy, and he is ready to move forward. The themes of faith and love are
exhibited through the speaker's tone and use of similes and metaphors to showcase the desperation
of the speaker to be recognized by God. John Dunne's poem focuses mainly on being rescued by
God, or the Holy trinity – God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. He asks God to free him from what is
keeping him captive, "Reason," and holding him back. He wants God to make him new, purify him.
The speaker is overtaken by some evil, and he expresses that he needs God to use all his force to
take him and free him from what is holding him back. About the first half of the poem, the speaker
is telling God what he needs to do instead of praying and simply asking him. At the beginning of the
second half of the poem, the speaker confesses his love for God, but is explicit in why he can never
be free until it is God who has captured him instead. The main themes throughout the poem are
faith, or perhaps unfaithfulness, and love. Faith is an obvious theme because the speaker is talking
to God and asking for salvation and

Since its introduction in the 1530s, nearly every major British and American poet has made use of
the form" (Sonnet xxi). In Versification, James McAuley defines that the sonnet is, "In the strict
sense, a fourteen–line poem usually in iambic pentameters. The Italian or petrachan type, consists of
an octet, usually rhymed cdecde or in some permutation of these. The English sonnet type consists
of three quatrains plus a concluding couplet, rhymed variously, the Shakespearian form being abab
cdcd efef gg. In sixteenth– and seventeenth–century use, the term was also loosely applied to any
lyric poem, especially a love–poem, as in [John] Donne's (1572–1631) Songs and Sonnets" (82).
The sonnet, however, is not simply a fourteen–line poem having a prescribed rhyme scheme.
Certainly most sonnets are fourteen–line poems, and most sonneteers do confine themselves to
prescribed rhyme patterns (Bender and Squier xxii).
The theme, in Sonnet 73, is the poet's aging. Each quatrain develops an image of lateness, of
approaching extinction – of a season, of a day, and of a fire, but they also apply to a life (Abrams et
al. 867). The poet compares his age to three images through the quatrains: autumn, the dying of the
year (first quatrain); the dying of the fire (third quatrain). The first line draws a picture of himself,

"in me," and in a certain time, "That time of year," of his life (surely, he is old now). We can see that

One Art by Elizabeth Bishop is a poem that explores loss in comparison to an art; however, this art
is not one to be envied or sought after to succeed at. Everyone has experienced loss as the art of
losing is presented as inevitably simple to master. The speaker's attitude toward loss becomes
gradually more serious as the poem progresses.
Keys, having virtually no reason for emotional attachment, are mentioned in line 5 with a tone of
acceptance that, "Yes, it is okay to lose keys." Although vital to the penetration of a lock, keys are
such a generic object that they can be easily replaced and, aside from the inability to open that door,
will not be missed for long. Lines 2 and 3 state that "so many things seem filled with the intent ...

At this point in the poem, the speaker's attitude toward loss is rather blasé due to the fact that the
items she has misplaced holds no emotional attachment and can be replaced.
As the poem progresses, the misplaced or forgotten items become concepts such as names and ideas,
and therefore carry more of an impact. For example, forgetting someone's name, however not
uncommon, can be associated with feelings of embarrassment from the forgettor, and annoyance
from the forgotten when they discover that they were not important enough to be remembered. The
speaker simply shrugs off these losses because "None of [them] will bring disaster," as mentioned in
line 9. Emotion, often associated with memories is introduced in line 10 when the speaker
announces, "I lost my mother's watch." An item such as a mother's watch holds sentimental value,
unlike the previously mentioned keys; however, the speaker repeats, "I miss them, but it wasn't a
disaster," (line 15) indicating that the watch was merely a material possession crowded with
memories. At this point, the reader recognizes the feeling of missing something associated with
greater losses of objects and ideas the speaker regards with more emotional attachment.
In line 16, the speaker's emotional attitude toward loss changes as it becomes evident that the
speaker has lost a person, yet they still view loss as a part of

The Complexity Of Identity Work Constructed By Manh Essay
Data analysis
This section provides an analysis of several aspects of identity work constructed by Manh, one of
the five teachers participated in my study. Through the analysis, it is interesting to observe the
complexity of Manh's identity construction. The identity work constructed by Manh encompasses
not only aspects of Manh being a friendly and approachable teacher, but also Manh's approach to
power and morality exercising in the classroom context. The analysis is divided into two main parts.
The first part exhibits examples of how Manh portraits himself as a funny, sensible and
approachable teacher. The second part presents examples where traces of power practice and
morality are under scrutiny. Class observation notes and interview data including are used as a
complementary sources for the analysis.

Drawing from the classroom data, there are examples where Manh's identity construction can be
associated to the identity of a funny, friendly and approachable teacher. This observation is drawn
from several teacher–initiated humour examples found in the classroom discourse. The humor is
delivered through teacher's use of humorous questions, imaginary situation and metaphor that
provokes humor. These phenomena are found in extract 1.
Extract 1 is taken from one of Manh's lessons and the main topic is about 'friendship'. According to
my observation from this particular stage of the lesson, Manh writes on the board one at a

Compare And Contrast Africa And Lot's Wife
'Lot's Wife' and 'Africa' are poems depicting the effects of the abuse of power and how the forceful
villains mistreat others due to their positions of ' superiority and trust. 'Lot's Wife' shows how under
a tyrannous rule which holds no regard for personal emotions renders people either devoid of
humanity, Lot, or devoid of life, Lot's Wife. 'Africa' demonstrates the chaos and terror involved in
invasion and how an overwhelming military force and covetousness can extirpate the magic and
God out of a place. I will argue that both poems show how excessive force and violence can have a
strong impact to both people and places as they circumscribe emotion and obliterate the potential of
a civilization. 'Lot's Wife' indicates how unsettling and unnatural the presence of the harbingers of
caustic rulers can be. In line 1, the adjective "just" is used to describe Lot as he "trailed" behind the
Angel. Just is used with a touch of sarcasm as Lot is only just because he follows the Angel. The
verb "trailed" could have been replaced by "followed" or a verb which is more indicative of any
interest in following the aforementioned Angel. This suggests that Lot may not want to go with the
Angel. This engenders an aura of fear which is further developed in line 2, the ... Show more content

activity whilst destroying Africa. There is further irony developed from how they are bastardizing
God's will yet devoutly praying. The uncapitalized "god" with the presence of the aforestated
capitalized "creator" diminishes the importance of their God and suggests their lack of knowledge of

Douglas Dunn's poetry? (The Kaleidoscope/Sandra's Mobile/Second Opinion)
It is considered more difficult for a poet to grab the attention and imagination of an audience than it
is for an author. The use of metaphor and symbol in poetry means that the poet can say one thing
and invoke a whole range of possibilities, be it love, anger, jealousy or envy; an old memory or a
new wish. The use of metaphors and symbols enables the audience to see what they believe Dunn

Throughout the poem, Dunn recollects and remembers the memories, however, the use of the word
''wait'' could symbolise the wait involved in grieving, finally accepting that your loved one is gone
and beginning to piece your life back together. The repetition of 'wait' in line 13, in reference to an
absurd forgiveness shows us that Dunn blames himself for his Wife's death, and it symbolises the
amount of guilt he is carrying, especially when combined with the line above in which Dunn begins
to resort to desperation through the use of the verb 'offering me' followed by the triad 'my flesh, my
soul, my skin' which could symbolise the ultimate sacrifice. In line 7, 'A symmetry of husbands,
each redesigned' shows the imperfections that Dunn believes he has, not even symmetry, the idea of
an exactness to two halves, could stop Dunn being redesigned. It could also symbolise, through the
idea of husbands, the huge workload that was placed on one man. This links with the triads placed
in the poem, the idea of constant simultaneous actions, 'stand, and wait, and cry', 'foresight, prayer
and hope', having to juggle the knowledge of The 'tray' mentioned in line 1 and line 10, could
symbolise the idea of slavery, to be carrying a tray, responding to every movement and request, and
yet, the reader can see that Dunn does what he does out of love, he puts himself through
unimaginable turmoil to prolong the time

The Lynching By Claude Mckay
The Lynching Analysis Chloe Chrysikopoulos How to Read a Poem ARTL 100 October 31, 2014 As
Ida B Wells said, "Our country 's national crime is lynching. It is not the creature of an hour, the
sudden outburst of uncontrolled fury, or the unspeakable brutality of an insane mob." Claude
McKay in his sonnet The Lynching describes the gruesome reality of a lynching and how "it is not
the creature of an hour, the sudden outburst of uncontrolled fury..." but simply white men, women,
and children who carried out this act of cruelty and celebrated it without remorse. McKay uses
various sounds and rhythmic devices to reflect the intensity of the horrific images depicted. The
sound devices combined with the symbolism, allusion, and dark imagery illustrate the violent
crimes committed against the African Americans. This poem was published in 1922 after slavery
had ended however hatred and violence toward African Americans continued. This sonnet is about a
lynching and the attitude of the white population. The first quatrain explains what happens to the
victim after the lynching. McKay uses the words "spirit," "heaven," and "father" to describe the
religious experience of the victim after his death (lines 1–2). The author portrays the lynched man as
a Christ like figure who "ascended to high heaven" and is welcomed by God, his father. And at the
same time God rejects the white men, women, and children who were lynchers because "their awful
sin remained still

Commentary on Feet
Analysis on Feet Feet is a prose talking about a little child looking at his sister's death. The story is
set in a post war period, when poverty and diseases are everywhere. We can know this by looking at
the date written under the title, "September 1948". The story happened in a working class family in
Ireland. We can know that it is set in Ireland from the little sister's name. From the sentence in line
7, " Una. My younger sister, Una." We know that her name is Una, which is an Irish name, so we
can know that it is an Irish family. It is showed that the family is in working class by looking at the
descriptions of the uncles' work and the mother's feet. In paragraph 4, it mentioned that the uncles
are working in a building site as ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
It appear in line 17, "Pain and pressure", which are plosives and also appear in line 44, "cough–
crying", which are fricatives. The author uses quite a lot of sensory appeal in the third paragraph
where the narrator is imagining things about the diseases' names. They are mainly sounds and
smells. There is a lexical choice of vocabulary in line 25, "IT had a fright and hiss in it", this
sentences has the word hiss which we usually uses to describe snakes. This shows that the disease is
as danger as snakes. Imagery can be found in the prose too, in the last paragraph, line 48, "the
autumn air darkening" using the image of autumn being the period when most living things die to
describe the dying image. Last but not least, rhetorical questions can be found in the last paragraph.
What ideas did the author expressed through the passage? Poverty is showed in the passage through
the shoes of the characters, knowing how harsh the lives of the mother and the uncles have.
However, the main idea of the passage is the child learning about the nature of death. We know that
the child doesn't know much about the disease nor death, having all those questions that have no
answers. He has fear and is too sudden to him that he can hardly accept. He is far too young that
limited his view point which is expressed by limiting the view point to only seeing feet when being
under a table. "Feet" thoroughly showed how the little boy go through his

Compare and Contrast Helen- HD POE Essay
Comparison and Contrast Essay
In the poems, "To Helen" and "Helen", both Edgar Allan Poe and H.D. emphasize the beauty of the
infamous Helen of Troy; however, the speakers' attitudes differ as one praises and worships Helen
while the other condemns her for her treachery and remains unmoved by her beauty. Although both
poems discuss Helen of Troy, both speakers' withhold different perspectives within the first stanza.
In "To Helen" the speaker sets Helen on a pedestal as he uses the apostrophe "Helen, thy beauty is to
me" (Poe, line 1). He emphasizes that he speaks to her as the title "To Helen" sets the praiseful tone
within the poem. However, the unimpressed speaker of "Helen" displays the loss of connection to

the opposite as she is "the glory that was Greece" (Poe, line 9) and "the grandeur that was Rome"
(Poe, line 10).
The varying structures in the third stanzas emphasize the differentiating views of Helen. The style
and structure of "To Helen" contribute to the persona's romantic notion of Helen of Troy. The stanza
is set up like the rest with five lines that illustrate her beauty. She is an "agate lamp" (Poe, line 13)
which shines light on Greece and she is "Psyche, from the regions", "which Are Holy Land!" (Poe,
lines 9 and 10). However the unmoved speaker uses just a simple sentence as the last stanza and

Analysis Of An Absolutely Ordinary Rainbow
For the Australian poet, Les Murray, a natural and peaceful life is, Driving Through Sawmill Towns,
and spending An Evening Alone At Bunyah – a place without war or, The Burning Truck, that
produces Blood. The cycle of life for Murray means "going home again from the cities of the
world", where he can find, An Absolutely Ordinary Rainbow, without changing the "actual" world.
Similarly, the Irish poet, Seamus Heaney, wants people to get rid of The Mud Vision and, "figure in
[their] own eyes for the eyes of the world". He believes nature and labour are a balanced symmetry
of life. The world should be natural and peaceful where the Two Lorries, would never explode.
Through their poems, both Murray and Heaney stop the readers in their tracks and lead them into a
new territory. Their poems challenge the readers' perceptions by using the four elements of seeing,
hearing, feeling and thinking to develop a theme of nature where they have desires for a truly
natural and peaceful world.
––– Beneath Hill 60 Movie scenes, peaceful and quiet life compared with the life on the battle field.
(natural to artificial)– it is a movie, just want the audience to make some connection.
What is the best lifestyle according to Murray? Murray stresses a need for peace, quiet and the
transformation from artificial to natural. He successfully wins the empathy from the reader and
leads them into a new territory through the senses of seeing and feeling in his poem, Evening Alone
At Bunyah. The ironic first line, "home again from the cities of the world" infers that people think
the cities make up the world; however, Murray shows the real world to be the places like Bunyah,
where life is otherworldly and has a consistent theme of the subtopic of nature (line 1). This
positions the reader to question whether they are enjoying their lives in the cities or not, because the
artificial does not make everyone feel the pleasure. The magic number four has been widely used in
the Evening Along At Bunyah, four perfect firs, four seasons, foursome reels and perhaps four
dancers dancing around the trees. These concepts compare with the four most important elements in
the world – water, earth, sky, and blood which demonstrate the cycle of life and

A Report On The Subway Closed At 11
No one spoke English in the bookstore. But there was still an English section – populated by cheap
copies of public domain classics like "The Odyssey" or "Jane Eyre." Beyond it, the sprawling
window revealed a neon–glitzed row of karaoke bars.
"Excuse me," a voice said.
It was an American girl – about 20 years old. Boston accent.
"Do you know what time the subway closes?"
The subway in Beijing closes at 11 PM. I learned this firsthand, when a thunderstorm stranded me in
the Zhonglouwan Hutong. I plodded back to my hotel as water flooded the cobblestone streets. My
shoes practically melted off my feet.
She was a nice girl. After a while, I invited her to grab a drink with me at a cafe down the road. She
was down. After all, the subway closed at 11 and it was only 9:30.
It was late summer, 2015. I was 24 years old. I had been living alone in Beijing for the past month.
The American Film Institute sent me to China through a partnership with IDG Media. I had spent
the past year battling through AFI's rigorous – and rewarding – first year. Frankly, I could use some
time alone.
Be careful what you wish for.

things."
In Beijing I was mostly alone.
Then I got lonely.

Imagery In Anne Bradstreet's The Author To Her Book
One point or another in a person's life, he or she wonders what it would be like if an inanimate
object was alive. Anne Bradstreet does just this in her poem The Author to Her Book. She brilliantly
takes the fears and worries of publishing a book into treating it as if it was her own child and, in
many respects, that is what a book is to its author. There are many elements used to give the reader
the sense what the author sees the book as through metaphors, complete imagery to visualize the
scene, and voice to let the reader know just how difficult it is as an author but not just an author, a
female author. To emphasize, being an author is very tough, being a female author can be even

Bradstreet successfully aids readers with this with the voice she gives the Author in this poem.
Revisiting all the metaphors and visuals, it's easy to at least see that this is a motherly–like person
who regrets the fact she must boot what she feels is a somewhat messy, "child" out the door. It's a
voice filled, once again, with worry, regret, a motherly figure hoping her child will find its way in
the world. If one wonders why somebody would have so much worry for the flaws of their creation,
it is important to note two factors. Right out the gate the reader knows this author is poor, so she
needs money. This is revealed when she says, "And for thy Mother, she alas is poor," (Line 23).
Seventeenth century is not like today where poor means the government will at least help to an
extent, so the person isn't out of luck. There were efforts in the seventeenth century to help the poor
but for the most part, that person was kind of out of luck. The second thing is just being an author in
this time. In every respect, line 23 right here draws conclusion to the voice of this poem, especially
if the reader hasn't read it already. The other part of the voice that is given out in this piece of work
is this tone caring and fear mixed together. Leading off is the fear factor which the Author has every
right to be since

Innocence In Poem
"Once you start asking questions innocence is lost"–Mary Astor What is innocence? How is it lost?
There are many cases in which innocence can be lost , some of which are portrayed in the two
poems. Innocence is when you are pure, clean and vain. This is due to the fact that you haven't
experienced any corruptions which would give you spiritual wisdom that is useful in decision
making in future situations. These poems , Out Out and Disabled, both portray the loss of innocence

An example of this would be in stanza two line 7 where owens says "About this time town used to

were interconnected, had a strong sense of community, and shared the same feelings – gayness. This
depicts how serene and happy the setting was. This quote however directly contrasts line 4 in stanza
one –"Voices of boys rang saddening like a hymn", in this quote we can see that Owen has separated
the boys and their voices to create a sense of individuality and also uses the word 'saddening' to
paint an image of the state of the town as a place that is no longer cheerful anymore.This combined
with the sense of individuality is distinct from the other quote where the town is connected and

all the water competitions were hosted. After the 2008 Beijing Olympic, those multibillions

Positive Economic Impacts: After the Beijing Olympic game in 2008, many people raise the
questions of whether spending $41 billion in hosting the game bring benefits to China's economic or
not. According to the nature of economic, the economic impacts of the Olympic game are hard to
measure and has became a major debating topic for many economic scholars. However, one thing
that we are sure off is that the Olympic game did tie on to many economic measures such as,
employment rate, economic growth rate, inflation rate and tourism growth rate. Also, as we know
from the economic standpoint, fiscal and monetary policies are inevitable measures in hosting mega
event like the Beijing Olympic game.
A pre economic study by two Chinese economists Zhang Yaxiong and Zhao Kun addressed that the
Olympic game has brought many Olympic related investments and consumptions to Beijing,
surrounding cities and the entire country. According to their models, the estimated growth rate of
Beijing prior the Olympic game from 2002 to 2007 has increased 2.02%, the surrounding areas
growth rate raise 0.23% and overall an 0.09% increase for the entire country. We can tell from these
numbers that the impacts of pre Beijing Olympic game are not significant in the measure of positive
impacts for the China's economic over the duration of 5 years.
Lets take a look at the economic impact of Beijing Olympic game after the event. According to the
article of "Olympics Help Fuel Beijing's economics

The Manifestation of Death in Poetry Essay example
Death is a reality that can be interpreted in many ways. Some people fear the possibility of no
longer living and others welcome the opportunity for a new life in the afterlife. Many poets have
been inspired by death, be it by the approaching death of loved ones or a battle for immortality. Just
as each poet is inspired differently, each poem casts a different hue of light on the topic of death
giving readers a unique way to look at death. In the poem "Because I Could Not Stop for Death"
Emily Dickinson portrays death as a polite gentleman who ushers people into the afterlife. The
poem's opening lines reveal death to be the driver of a carriage who stopped for the narrator of the
poem. The narrator and death travel alone passing by ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Almost as revisiting youth, the carriage passes a school yard where children play, followed by fields
and then finally the poem takes a turn and the narrator tells of the sunset. The poem reflects at this
point that the carriage is moving at a very slow pace or possibly even stopped, saying that they did
not pass the sun, "rather–he passed us" (Dickinson line 13). As the sun sets in the poem, the
procession comes to its end with the carriage coming to a rest at a house. It is in the last two stanzas
that the narrator reveals they are at a grave and it has been many years from the time they died. The
narrator describes the home the carriage stopped by as "A Swelling of the Ground" (Dickinson line
18) and further alludes to the fact the roof was just visible within the ground leading the reader to
the realization that the house is actually the grave of the narrator. In the last few lines of the poem
the narrator confesses that the entire poem is a memory of a past experience that happened a long
time ago but feels as if it was recent. The addition of the last two lines, "I first surmised the Horses'
Heads/Where toward Eternity" (Dickinson lines 23–24), add the first and only glimmer of surprise,
leaving the reader with a jarring disconnect from the previous easy going nature of the poem. Like
Dickinson, John Donne shows us a death that is a vehicle to the afterlife in his poem "Death Be Not
Proud". However, the narrator in "Death Be Not Proud" is

Summary Of KeatsOde To A Nightingale
Keats' "Ode to a Nightingale," can be classified as one of those most well–known Odes to ever be
written. Although the poem is a tough lyrical poem to understand, it is as if the poet feels the pain
and bleakness from the day to day repetitiveness of life; therefore, seeks to disappear into the make–
believe world of the Nightingale to find relief which eventually leads him to acknowledgment.
While listening to the Nightingale sing, the poet describes Greek and Roman figures to enhance the
feelings he is portraying. The poet described an inconsistent life of contradictory using the concept
of life and death. As well as, representing the struggle of reality and fantasy achieved through a
transformed state of mind. One can see the poet's feelings are described by words that show the
mood of the situation while his thoughts change throughout the poem. The day to day life of the
poet is filled with pain and disappointment. Although the poem starts out with, "My heart aches, and
a drowsy numbness pains (Line 1)," momentarily, the poet is happy because of the singing
Nightingale which he describes as, "some melodious plot (Line 8);" and it "Singest of summer in
full–throated ease (Line 10)." The poet uses musical language to give the audience the portrayal of
how the bird is singing. Quickly, the narrator is filled with agony because he remembers that life is
unpleasant and could be explained in the third stanza, "Where Beauty cannot keep her lustrous eyes,
Or new Love pine at

I Am Nobody Who Are You Essay
"I am nobody! Who are you?" (Dickinson, 2013, line 1). A very famous but quite controversial line
from the poem written by author, Emily Dickinson. Many say she writes her poems using her
thoughts, others think that she writes about her friends feelings. Quite intriguing, based on what her
poems are written about. Given the fact that Emily herself faced many tragedies in her life,
including the death of most of her immediate family and a best friend, and also faced many health
issues herself, it isn't much of a wonder that when it came down to religion, she didn't really have an
opinion. But, did she make this known in her poems? Did she try to voice her opinion, with an
explanation of why she felt this way? And is she really as complicated as readers think? In the
poem, "There's a certain slant of light", many religious references have been used. This poem
specifically focuses only on the significant effect of a certain type of light that the narrator / speaker
notices on winter evenings. But, this poem is not going to be a pleasant one, because this light is
very heavy and it "oppresses" the speaker. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This poem resolves to be that in the end it is so powerful, that everything, including nature herself,
notices its presence, and then ends with a departure that allows for a complete but terrifying
understanding of death and remorse. This poem completely sums up Emily Dickinson. This poem,
along with almost every other poem of Emily's, share the same and obvious theme: Death and
weirdness about anything religions. By using religious items and well known subjects relating to
God and Heaven, she gives off a purely negative vibe to anyone who reads her poems. But in this
particular poem, the "certain Slant of light" may be oppressive to the narrator but this is definitely
not an ordinary case of

My Vacation Experience
It was 1:30 in the afternoon, and my 2nd grade class had just returned from lunch when the phone
began to ring. My teacher informed me that it was time to return home, where I would prepare and
pack for my vacation to China. This would be my first international flight, and I was unable to
contain my excitement.
In the year 2010, my father and I visited our relatives in Beijing, China. My ingenuous 7–year–old
self had no idea what awaited me in this foreign country. Before boarding the aircraft at Dulles
International Airport, the intercom warned passengers flying to China of dangerous levels of
pollution in certain areas, and that we were advised to wear masks to avoid breathing in harmful
chemicals.
As I stepped out of Beijing Capital International Airport, I felt the cold, polluted air blow against my
face. I did not have a good first impression, as the air was extremely dirty and the streets were filthy.
Unsurprisingly, our hotel was surrounded with trash and beggars. Gradually, I became accustomed
to my sojourning conditions in the heart of Beijing.
On our 3rd night, my relatives invited us to a luxurious restaurant in downtown Beijing. Upon
arrival, two people opened the doors of the car for me. As I stepped out, I marveled at the entrance
of the restaurant, it was shaped like the gate of the emperor's palace. However, I caught a glance at
the back: it was a dark, back alley. Despite that, we ate a lavish dinner, my cousins ordered me a

A. Tennyson’s in Memoriam: Stylistic Analysis
The poem that we are going to analyze in this paper is section XI from the poem In Memoriam,
which was written in 1850 by Alfred Tennyson. In Memoriam is a long poem with 131 sections with
a varying length. Besides this, it also has a prologue and an epilogue, a happy marriage song on the
occasion of the wedding of Tennyson's sister Cecilia. It was written after the death of Arthur Henry
Hallam, a friend of Tennyson's and it deals with many intellectual issues of the Victorian Age, since
the author tried to find a meaning for life and death and he also tries to cope with his sense of loss.
Furthermore, In Memoriam links traditional religious faith and belief in immortality with the
theories of evolution and modern geology which were ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The tension is increased throughout the poem. In the beginning, the author talks about nature as an
idyllic place where people can find peace. However, in the end, and more concretely from the last
two lines of the fourth stanza onwards, the tension is increased through the use of the first person.
This grief is more "palpable", more "real". The first thing we should know is that it is the author
who is speaking and expressing what he feels. This illustrates the thesis exposed above:
Romanticism emphasizes the individual and the subjective. We can see that it is the author who is
speaking in the fourth stanza, when he says: "and in my heart, if calm at all, if any calm, a calm
despair" (lines 15 and 16). Tennyson uses the first person singular possessive pronoun ("my"), so
that we know that it is him who is talking and expressing a feeling of despair. We can also conclude
that it is Tennyson who is expressing his grief when, in the last stanza, we read: "And dead calm in
that noble breast which heaves but with the heaving deep" (lines 19 and 20). The word "noble"
refers to the author himself, since he was a nobleman. Another remarkable thing is that it is in the
moments when we perceive the presence of the author when the poem reaches its climax. Now, we
are going to try to see how the different parts of the poem are linked. Arrived to this point, there are
many things that deserve our attention: 1) There are not

The Importance Of Tourism In China
As a leader of the tourism department in Beijing,,I'd like to tell you what Beijing is like .There are
four questions that I want to explain.
First of all ,"why someone should visit Beijing?". As the capital of China ,Beijing is a city with a
long history and rich culture. It is also the capital of the last five dynasties in Chinese history. It is in
the north of China. There are many places of interest in Beijing,such as The Great Wall and so on.

Analysis of the Short Story: Super Toys Last All Summer Long
What is real? I have been trying to answer this question since we started our project about robots.
It's a very complex question. The classical sense of what is real is something natural, something that
is not man–made, for example the nature or the universe. But the world isn't the same as it was for
hundred years ago and the reality concept has moved in time with the technology. For instance I
read an article where computers had been taken over the stock trading instead of real manpower.
The robots are mechanical artificial agents and because of the advanced technology they've become
much more real. They become more and more like us, and if computers can take over the stock
trading what can robots, who look and act like humans, do to the ... Show more content on

Further more the language isn't readily accessible but manageable. There is in between some
difficult words, which is an obstacle for the understanding of the text, for example "Lambent,
engrossed, moist and mowervator". The short story is written in 1969 so the choice of words is old
and not always so familiar "Henry, Henry – oh, my darling, I was in despair . . . but I've just dialed
the afternoon post and – you'll never believe it! Oh, it's wonderful!". The environment in the story is
very beautiful, almost perfect. The garden is described with positive words and it makes
associations to paradise, for example "In Mrs. Swinton's garden, it was always summer". The
Swintons' house lies in a rich part of the city with no windows. The house and their belongings are
very advanced and technical, and it's clear that there has been a big technological development, for
example Monica has her phone on her wrist "She punched the Post Oﬃce number on the dial on her
wrist but nothing came through" and "The Swintons lived in one of the ritziest city–blocks, half a
kilometer above the ground. Embedded in other apartments, their apartment had no windows to the
outside; nobody wanted to see the overcrowded external world. Henry unlocked the door with his
retina pattern–scanner and walked in, followed by the serving–man". It seems like they don't really
have contact to the outside world and live in a small bubble of isolation. The humans are described
so

Analysis Of ' Mutability ' By Percy Bysshe Shelley Essay
Portfolio Part B 'Mutability' (Greenblatt 752–753) is a poem written by the Romantic poet Percy
Bysshe Shelley in 1816. The Oxford English Dictionary defines the word 'Mutability' as: Liability
or tendency to change. (OED Online) 'Mutability' was most probably written in order to portray
Shelley's own views that humans do not have control over changes which occur in their own lives.
However, it asserts Shelley's belief that, "Nought may endure but Mutability." Shelley demonstrates
this idea by using various literary devices, diction, and a sombre tone which is reflected through his
choice of writing in the lyric form. 'Mutability' was written at a time when Shelley experienced
significant life changing events; January 1816 saw the birth of his first child to Mary Shelley, in the
same year Shelley experienced financial struggles, and the suicide of his first wife Harriet in
December 1816. (O 'Neill, M.) In addition to the changes he endured in his personal life, Shelley
was very much aware of the changes happening during 1816 which was named, 'The year without a
summer' due to extreme changes in weather. During his trip to Switzerland, Shelley and a group of
other Romantic poets began to create works to reflect this time of great change. (Gardiner, Lisa)
This is significant as being exposed to so much change during 1816 more than likely inspired
Shelley to write 'Mutability' to demonstrate the human ability to accept and embrace change, as it
cannot be prevented.

My Papa's Waltz: an Analysis of Speaker and Situation Essay
The poem "My Papa's Waltz" by Theodore Roethke is a moving representation of childhood spent in
a working middle class family. The speaker of this poem is a man recalling his childhood, his father
and his mother through the means of a waltz. The following essay will present a detailed analysis of
the dramatic situation and speaker through the explanations of the various poetic tools used in this
poem such as similes, choice of words and style. Theodore Roethke portrays the father figure as a
working class man he does so by his description of him and thus his choice of words. For example,
line 9 and 10, says that the father's hand was battered or even more so in line 14, the description of
his palm is caked hard by dirt. The ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
It is also seen in the title, the word "papa" is a warm word in contrast to the word father. Throughout
the text there seem to have a particular roughness to the actions, for instance, the pans sliding off the
shelf, the mother's countenance, which would not unfrown it self and the father's whiskey breath are
all image that represents the hardships of life, for example, the father drink after a long hard day of
manual labor. Although these images can be seen has child abuse if you take them out of the poems
context. The child abuse angle is more evident in line 13 where the father beats time on the child's
head because of the connotation to abuse the word "beat" involves. Due to the simple middle class
language of the text, the phrase beat time is common use for counting time, thus the social context is
important for the comprehension of this poem. Theodore Roethke's poem "My Papa's Waltz" is a
Shakespearian sonnet composed of four couplet and of a rhyming scheme style a,b,a,b, which aids
to depict the rhythmic movement of a waltz. The movement of the waltz is also conveyed to the
reader through the actions of the poem.. For example, both the first couplet and the last couplet
involve the child holding his father. And, in line 5 they "romped" which used to be said of
renaissance and medieval women's attire

Sonnet 29
Sonnet 29 1. In the introductory clause of the sonnet, the speaker makes it clear that he envies those
with "hope." By this, the speaker means that he resents those who have a clear, bright future ahead
of them, a future made possible by the qualities he goes on to describe. These qualities are
friendships, skill in art, and power (lines 6–7), and the speaker makes it clear that he envies these
people by explicitly stating that he desires what they have. 2. The turn of the sonnet occurs in line 9.
The argument that this line is where the turn occurs is supported by the content of the sonnet both
before and after the line. For example, the subject of lines 1–8 is how the speaker is feeling self–pity
and jealousy towards those who have what he does not. After line 9, the subject of the sonnet shifts
to how the speaker finds the thought of his lover to be uplifting and how it makes him feel like he
has everything. This drastic shift in both tone and in subject indicate that line 9 is where the turn of
the sonnet occurs. 3. After the turn, the speaker's diction and imagery indicates that the speaker's
tone shifts to an uplifted and content one. This is evidenced by the image of birdsong rising from
"sullen earth", which makes the rising nature of the speaker's tone clear. In addition, the usage of the
word "arising" also suggests that the speaker's tone is uplifted. Finally, when the speaker says that
he would "scorn to change my state with kings", he
