Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets. His sonnets talk about love, friendship etc.The sonnets to the young man express overwhelming, obsessional love. The main cause of debate has always been whether it remained platonic or became physical.The first 17 poems, traditionally called the procreation sonnets, are addressed to the young man urging him to marry and have children in order to immortalize his beauty by passing it to the next generation.Other sonnets express the speaker's love for the young man; brood upon loneliness, death, and the transience of life; seem to criticise the young man for preferring a rival poet; express ambiguous feelings for the speaker's mistress; and pun on the poet's name. The final two sonnets are allegorical treatments of Greek epigrams referring to the "little love-god" Cupid.
“Felix Randal” is a particular individualistic poem written by Hopkins and it highly represents the Victorian poetry in its Romanticism in theme, feelings and tone. At the same time the poem can be categorized as a religious poem too. Moreover there can be seen some effects of Pre-Raphaelitism which means an attempt to reveal truths through nature. The poem is all about the relation between a spiritual healer and the sufferer- how both complement one another in the act of attaining salvation.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

6. Literary Review
In this poetry “A Red, Red Rose” by Robert Burns, we can figure out that
figurative language used almost in all stanzas. Figurative language itself means
speech or writing that departs from literal meaning in order to achieve a special
effect or meaning, speech or writing employing figures of speech (any expressive
use of language). The figurative languages that are used the most in this poetry
are metaphor, simile, and symbol. All the figurative languages that are used in
this poetry help the readers to be able to understand the real meaning of this
poetry, the message that the poet wants to deliver.
As read in Metaphor We Live By, the book written by George Lakoff and
Mark Johnson (1980:3) “metaphor is a device of the poetic imagination and the
rethorical flourish—a matter of extraordinary rather than ordinary language.
…typically viewed as characteristic of language alone, a matter of words rather
than thought or action.”As for metaphor, we can find it in the fourth line of the
third stanza.
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.
Burns uses sands o’ lifeas a metaphor of the time of his life. Why does he
use sand? Because as we all know, hourglass is commonly used to measure
time with sands in it. Thus, the poet represents the love of the guy in this poem
will last as the sands stream down the hourglass. In other words, he will love the
bonnie lass until time stops running.
7. Based on the book Understanding the Elements of Literatureby
Richard Taylor(1981: 167-168) simile is comparison and substitution
being made using the words ‘like’ or ‘as’. The similes in this poetry are
so recognized in the opening of the poetry, which is in the first stanza
there is word ‘like’ in the first and third line.
O my Luve is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune.
The poet compares the love to a red rose that is newly sprung in
June. As we all know, a flower that has just grown is a new and fresh
thing. Then he defines his love is new, fresh and young.
Richard Taylor (1981: 175-176) also said in his book that symbol
means to represent or to stand for (stand in place of) …include under
subdivisions or distinctions according to the kind of meaning and the
way in which it is a sign. It can be said that symbol acquires meaning
through the context of particular work, because symbols mean beyond
the dictionary meaning of the words. For the symbol itself, we can see it
from the title of this poetry, Red Red Rose. The poet uses red rose as a
symbol for the love. It symbolizes how deep and passionate the love is.
8. Discussion
This love poem from Robert Burns is clearly pointing to the way
the poet sees the guy’s love and how deep he praises and loves his
love. To see it, we can analyze there are three figurative languages that
are used to talk about his love in this poetry. They are metaphor, simile
and symbol.
Firstly, we are going to discuss this poetry stanza by stanza, one
stanza at a time. At the first stanza we can see:
O my Luve is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune.
‘Luve’ in the first line means ‘love’. The word comes from English
in Scottish dialect. There is existence of this dialect is caused of the
poet, Robert Burns, is a Scottish and well known with his notable
Scottish language poems. In this stanza, the author is trying to say that
the love in this poem is so fresh and new just like a flower that has just
bloomed in summer days, that the love is still lively and will be livelier as
the time goes by, just like a blooming flower. Red rose is often used as a
symbol of love and for us;it does also symbolize a bold, deep and
passionate love.
9. “…the melody; That’s sweetly played in tune…’
symbolizes a good music, a mixed of notes that
played in tune, a good music produced by a mix
of melodies that is beautifully arranged with
perfect pitch, or in the other words, “That’s
sweetly played in tune”. Also, he used melody to
identify the love that flows really smoothly. We
can see that simile is the most used figurative
language in this stanza, by using the word ‘like’.
10. As for the following second stanza, we can see a metaphor
as a figurative language used by Burns in order to show the way
he praises his bonnie lass.
So fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I;
And I will luve the still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry.
Here still we can see the Scottish word “luve”. Besides, “a’”
is commonly used in Scottish dialect to shorten the word “all”.
Also “bonnie” means pretty in Scottish dialect, which it
strengthens the next word the poet uses to praise the pretty
lass—lady. Fair art is used as a metaphor to identify the beauty
of the loved lady. How the guy sees the lady is really pretty,
beautiful (and even magnificent) like a piece of fair art. Here we
can see how the guy in this poem praises the lady so high, so
high until he equalizes the girl with an art. Because, what can be
more magnificent and classy than a piece of fair art? In this
stanza we can also really understand that the guy really is in love
so deeply with this beautiful figure. So deeply in love with the
lady until he will love her, and he will not stop loving her until “the
seas gang dry”.
11. There is another metaphor used in this poetry and we can
figure it out in this following third stanza:
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
The rocks melt wi’ the sun;
I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.
Burns uses the sands o’ life as a metaphor for the time of
life. He identifies the time of the guy’s life with sands of life.
Sands are mostly known as a media in an hourglass that is used
to measure time, therefore this line means “as long as there is a
time to live / until the end of his life”. Like the drops of sands that
are still running show that there are moments and time of life that
still going on. In this stanza, the poet shows how big the
commitment of the love in this poem is. The stanza shows that
he will still love his dear “till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear; the
rocks melt wi’ the sun”. ‘Gang’ itself means ‘gone’ in Scott-
English, as the poet is a Scottish so no wonder there are some
Scottish dialects found in this poetry. Until the seas gone dry,
until the rocks will melt with the sun, The guy declares that he
will love his dear still. The seas will dry and the rocks will melt
with the sun only if the world ends. Therefore, it shows us that it
measures that his love will last until the end of the time, the end
of the world, which is very long and can be forever.
12. In the fourth and also last stanza, it clearly shows
the Scottish side of Robert Burns. It can be seen in
the first and second line of the fourth stanza.
And fare-thee-weel, my luve!
And fare-thee-weel awhile!
And I will come again, my luve,
Though it were ten thousand mile!
In slightly seeing, people may think the ‘weel’
means a ‘wheel’. But, let us say it aloud, and we are
going to hear that weel is the Scottish accent of ‘well’
rather than ‘wheel’. Thus, we can say that those two
lines refer to farewell. Here, the poet wants to say that
even though they have to be separated by the
distance, it will not last, and the guy in the poet will
come again to see his lady, no matter how far it is.
13. Read it again, and feel it more deeply. We will see
the very romantic words with a very romantic
meaning that is shown bythe guy in the poet that
he doesn’t want any other girl in his life, but that
one bonnie lass. It can be seen in the third and
fourth line of the fourth stanza. In spite of finding
new people and perhaps new girls in a new place
in even thousand miles away, it will never change
his mind. He will back still, and they will never be
separated by anything.
14. Conclusion
The poem “A Red, Red Rose” by Robert Burns is clearly a
love poem that has its hyperbole yet romantic way to show how
deep the poet’s love is to a lady. Burns’ poem also represents all
men when they love someone, how they will show how much
they love by words, by illustrating the lady and his love to
another beautiful image.
To emphasize the love felt in this poem, Burns uses some
of figurative languages which are metaphor, simile, and symbol
so the readers can also feel the image of the love. While the
poet’s background affects the poem a lot, since there are some
Scottish-English words found in this poem, the imagery of love in
this poem still can be obviously seen.
The love that is told in this poem is a beautiful eternal love.
A love that is beautiful is imaged by a red rose that symbolizes a
romantic and passionate love, and a love that is eternal is
imaged by the measuring of the time of life, until the world ends
up.Such a beautiful eternal love, this poem brings a perfect
symbol and imagery of love that can be accepted by most people
in the world.
