Compare & Contrast between John Donne & George Herbert
John Donne and George Herbert were both 17th century English poets and clergymen. While they both used religious themes and imagery in their poetry and were considered metaphysical poets, their tones differed. Donne's poems tended to have a darker tone and express doubts, while Herbert's conveyed assurance in God's love. Their styles also differed, with Donne writing for a more limited readership using complex language and imagery, while Herbert's lines were simpler and aimed at a broader audience.
Ode
Ode is a type of lyric poem written in praise of a person, animal, or object. It is serious and meditative in tone. There are two types of odes: traditional odes, which are usually longer and more formal in structure, and modern odes, which are often written in free verse. A classic ode has three structured parts: the strophe, the antistrophe, which responds to the strophe, and the epode, which completes the movement.
Language of Elizabethan Drama
The document provides an overview of Elizabethan drama conventions including pronouns, verb forms, iambic pentameter, rhymed and blank verse, and how playwrights would "cheat" to make prose fit the meter by rearranging words, using contractions, and omitting words.

The prisoner of Chillon

It also analyzes the historical context, themes, symbols, and literary devices used in "The Prisoner of Chillon". These include isolation, exile, dichotomies between freedom and imprisonment, and figures of speech like simile, metaphor, paradox, and personification. The document quotes another author praising Byron's ability to convey authentic impressions and situations through his works.
English IOP Practice
The writing in "The Road" is more like poetry than narrative prose through its use of unique grammar, long complex sentences, and imagery. It employs few punctuations and grammatical structures to create a sparse style that matches the desolate post-apocalyptic landscape. Long sentences connect ideas through metaphors and convey the feelings of characters. Figurative language and vivid imagery are used dynamically to represent motifs throughout the novel. Through these poetic techniques, McCarthy's writing has an artistic style closer to poetry than standard narrative prose.

Teaching Compassion
This document summarizes Barbara Lazear Ascher's views on compassion based on her observations of interactions between homeless people and others in New York City.

Ascher believes these acts are motivated by compassion rather than a desire to get rid of the homeless individuals. She argues that exposure to adversity makes people more empathetic and able to feel compassion, as denying the existence of suffering will not make it go away.

- 3. In May, when sea-winds pierced our solitudes, I found the fresh Rhodora in the woods, Spreading its leafless blooms in a damp nook, To please the desert and the sluggish brook. The purple petals fallen in the pool Made the black water with their beauty gay; Here might the red-bird come his plumes to cool, And court the flower that cheapens his array. Rhodora! if the sages ask thee why This charm is wasted on the earth and sky, Tell them, dear, that, if eyes were made for seeing, Then beauty is its own excuse for Being; Why thou wert there, O rival of the rose!

- 4. 2 MIN EX of Modern use of Rhetoric Shift in Tone The ancient philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BC) was the first to record a definition of rhetoric: writing and speaking for the purpose of arguing in court and celebrating great events. He invented formal logic and the argument form. The words essay, rhetoric, and expository writing, in the context of English class mean the same thing. College English composition classes used to be called 'rhetorical' or 'expository writing.' The word rhetoric comes from the Greek 'I say,' or eiro. So, in an essay you are saying something about what you think or know. Rhetoric, as defined in the dictionary, is 'the art of speaking or writing effectively.' A 1913 definition of the word is 'the art of composition; especially, elegant composition in prose.' Many definitions refer to ancient 'rules of composition' and the art of persuasion. Rhetoric, in the sense of writing, is both. In college, you are not only writing to inform, analyze, compare, argue or tell a story; you are also trying to write with style and creativity, in your own unique writer's voice. historical context of rhetoric: English 11 HARMON
