Piano by D.H. Lawrence analysis
This poem describes a man whose memory is transported back to his childhood by the soft singing of a woman. He recalls sitting under a piano as a child, watching his mother play and smile as she sang. Though he tries to prevent it, the "insidious mastery" of the song pulls him further back in time to memories of Sunday evenings spent in his cozy parlor, listening to hymns guided by the "tinkling piano." Overcome by nostalgia for his childhood, the man feels his adult identity washed away as he weeps like a child for the past.

My papa's waltz new crit
Theodore Roethke's poem "My Papa's Waltz" depicts a father waltzing with his son, but underneath the surface of the dance lies darker emotions. While a waltz should bring two people closer, this one is unsettling and disturbing. Roethke uses literary techniques like alternating frightening and comforting images to mirror how the reader's emotions sway back and forth. The meter and slant rhyme schemes also imply something is "off" about the waltz, as the father misses steps. Ultimately, the waltz represents physical control and possible abuse, as imagery suggests the father manipulates and hits the son, using the dance as an excuse to assert power over him while losing control

Eminem &Pamela Prentiss-Harrison discuss the impact of child abuse. Pamela's poem "There is no Peace" describes a child curled in a ball, praying their doorknob won't turn, as a dove looks for light.

Both works shift perspectives with each stanza to fully portray the toll abuse takes on a victim.
Spring, the sweet spring
The poem celebrates the arrival of spring through vivid imagery and auditory descriptions. It depicts a scene of natural rebirth and human celebration as maids dance, lambs play, and birds sing their cheerful songs. Each stanza focuses on a different sense: visual imagery in the first, auditory in the second, and olfactory in the third. Throughout, there is a tone of joy and nostalgia, reflecting both the pleasures of spring and memories of youth. The simple rhyme scheme and repetition of the bird chorus create a sing-song rhythm that enhances the poem's cheerful and uplifting mood.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Piano by D.H.
- 2. Poem is in rhyming couplets – these create a sense of harmony.This is built upon with the use of three equal quatrains. Perhaps the regular rhyming structure sounds musical? Moves between past and present – look for the time words – ‘Now’, ‘back’ etc.
- 3. Instrument which links speaker’s present to his past. Symbolic of 2 main things he longs for in his past: His mother. Recalls security and warmth of her presence.

- 4. Softly, in the dusk, a woman is singing to me; Taking me back down the vista of years, till I see A child sitting under the piano, in the boom of the tingling strings And pressing the small, poised feet of a mother who smiles as she sings. Speaker listens to the piano and recalls his past. Belongs to warm and stable family. Nostalgic/Sentimental – ‘Softly’ Line 1, ‘Smiles as she sings’ Line 4. Music – Contrast between strong and weak sounds, like the struggle between the two singers. E.g. ‘softly’ and ‘boom’. “pressing the small, poised feet” shows sense of touch and closeness. Aura around her of grace and beauty. Adoration and admiration – watches her as she plays. Metaphor “the vista of years” compares the events of his life to a long road indicating how far in time he is recalling Repetition of the ‘s’ consonant in phrase “who smiles as she sings” complements the soft, gentle music of the piano.
- 5. In spite of myself, the insidious mastery of song Betrays me back, till the heart of me weeps to belong To the old Sunday evenings at home, with winter outside And hymns in the cosy parlour, the tinkling piano our guide. Moves from happy to bittersweet - ‘Betrays me’. “old Sunday evenings … with winter outside” - contrast used to amplify security felt in warm home setting. “the insidious mastery of song” indicates the overwhelming power of the music. “till the heart of me weeps” shows the extent of his being moved by his memories. Mood is depressing and sad as tone intensifies to a passionate cry for his lost past. “In spite of myself” – lack of self control. “Insidious mastery” – subtle effect of music.
- 6. Strong word indicating sense of frustration. Unable to stop himself from recalling his past. Shows how overwhelming, how deep, his longing to return to his past is. Suggests how different and perhaps how unhappy his present life is compared to his past.
- 7. So now it is vain for the singer to burst into clamour With the great black piano appassionato. The glamour Of childish days is upon me, my manhood is cast Down in the flood of remembrance, I weep like a child for the past. Moves into sadness as nostalgia builds in Stanza 3 – ‘glamour of childish days’, ‘I weep’. Climax “I weep like a child for the past” (simile) - speaker compares himself to a child, shows openness and childlike sincerity. Unable to control emotions any longer and breaks down. Stuck in the present but like the child, he longs to return to security and warmth of his past. “glamour” suggests beauty and grace. Childhood is glamorous because it is one of security and beauty. Overwhelming longing – tears compared to ‘flood’ and ‘cast’ indicates strength of his emotion destroying his façade of pride.
