Transitional Period & Ode to Evening by William CollinsRaniaAlghamdi3
this presentation was made for my poetry class. it contains information about the transitional period, William Collins, the poem "Ode to Evening", themes of the poem and the figures of speech.
This presentation is prepared to assist students to understand American Poet's Robert Frost's famous sonnet Design.
This presentation is not a mere creation of the author, as it is based on various sources and purely designed to assist students in their examination. Quality of this presentation cannot be compared with original text and genuine resources. Students are advised to prefer the authentic texts and resources for better results.
It is a project about the fall season. Getting into heaven fall, we merged with the richness that a gate on her shoulders high and painted nature, autumn, in paintings, drawings and collages by what he says imagination of children.
As with narrative, there are "elements" of poetry that we can focus on to enrich our understanding of a particular poem or group of poems. These elements may include, voice, diction, imagery, figures of speech, symbolism and allegory, syntax, sound, rhythm and meter, and structure. While we may discuss these elements separately, please keep in mind that they are always acting simultaneously in a story. It is difficult, for example, to discuss voice without talking about imagery, sound, meter, diction and syntax. Above all, these elements reveal something about the poem's "theme," meaning, or function.
Voice: Speaker and Tone-
As DiYanni notes, tone refers to the poet's "implied attitude toward its subject. Tone is an abstraction we make from the details of a poem's language: the use of meter and rhyme; the inclusion of certain kinds of details and exclusion of other kinds; particular choices of words and sentence pattern, of imagery and of figurative language" (479). A poem could convey reverence toward its subject, or cynicism, fear, awe, disgust, regret, disappointment, passion, monotony, etc. Tone has a great deal to do with meaning, for a description of a parent would be radically different depending on a poet's attitude toward that parent.
Diction, Imagery, Figures of Speech, Symbolism and Allegory-
Simply put, diction refers to word choice and is intimately related to imagery and figures of speech because a poet chooses a word to achieve a certain sensory, emotional, or intellectual effect. Choosing "wandered," for example, suggests something different than, say, "walked around," "shuffled," "drifted," "floated," etc., for each word suggests a different attitude, image, or connection. Your job is to explore the possibilities, always broadening the meaning and linking it with other words and images. For example, placing words in new contexts creates metaphors, for the word suggests one meaning and the context another.
As noted earlier, word choices creates images, the "concrete representation of a sense impression, feeling, or idea. Images may invoke our sight, hearing, sense of smell and taste, and tactile perceptions." Imagery refers to a pattern of related details. When images form patterns of related details that convey an idea or feeling beyond what the images literally describe, we call them metaphorical or symbolic. The details suggest one thing in terms of another. For example, images of light often convey knowledge and life, while images of darkness suggest ignorance or death. This leap from one image to its symbolic counterpart is based on an interpretive act and must be done in context. For example, white is usually associated with purity, cleanliness, and virginity, but in Moby Dick the great whale is white and suggests absolute evil, but the use that symbolic color is consistent within the novel. Figures of speech refer to special kinds of language use.

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
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

6. The Falling Leaves – Margaret Postgate Cole
November 1915
Today, as I rode by,
I saw the brown leaves dropping from their tree
In a still afternoon,
When no wind whirled them whistling to the sky,
But thickly, silently,
They fell, like snowflakes wiping out the noon;
And wandered slowly thence
For thinking of a gallant multitude
Which now all withering lay,
Slain by no wind of age or pestilence,
But in their beauty strewed
Like snowflakes falling on the Flemish clay.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbGOmG912vI
7. Here the poet has compared the falling leaves
to dying soldiers. Why do you think she has
done this?
Think of as many reasons as you can!
8. This links to ‘Futility’, as
Owen also uses natural
imagery – the sun.
November 1915
Today, as I rode by,
I saw the brown leaves dropping from their tree
This person
is a
spectatorobservingthe scene.
The leaves could be a
metaphor for the
soldiers dying. The
poem is set in
November 1915, which
is during World War I.
9. This links to ‘Mametz
Wood’, as Sheers uses
alliteration.
In a still afternoon,
When no wind whirled them whistling to the sky,
Alliteration. The repeated ‘w’ is a
soft, peaceful sound. This
contrasts the chaos of war. It
also sounds like ‘why?’ – why are
the soldiers dying?
The day is peaceful. Nothing is making the
leaves fall off the tree. This suggests
there’s no reason for the soldiers’ deaths.
10. Similes are also used in
‘Bayonet Charge’.
But thickly, silently,
They fell, like snowflakes wiping out the noon;
Noon is the middle of the day. This
suggests the soldiers were being wiped out
in the prime of their lives. Snowflakes are
cold, which links to death. Also, snowflakes
are unique; the soldiers each have their own
lives away from the war.
11. This links to ‘Futility’, as
the poem is split into two
parts.
Today, as I rode by,
I saw the brown leaves dropping from their tree
In a still afternoon,
When no wind whirled them whistling to the sky,
But thickly, silently,
They fell, like snowflakes wiping out the noon;
And wandered slowly thence
For thinking of a gallant multitude
Which now all withering lay,
Slain by no wind of age or pestilence,
But in their beauty strewed
Like snowflakes falling on the Flemish clay.
Literal.
What

speake
r sees.
What it
makes
them
think
about.
The poem is split into two parts.
They are separated by the semi-
colon. There is only one full stop at
the end. This suggests that the
poem is one thought – the speaker
stays focused on it throughout.
12. This links to ‘Futility’, as
it is a sonnet with a
turning point.
Today, as I rode by,
I saw the brown leaves dropping from their tree
In a still afternoon,
When no wind whirled them whistling to the sky,

And wandered slowly thence
For thinking of a gallant multitude
Which now all withering lay,
Slain by no wind of age or pestilence,
But in their beauty strewed
Like snowflakes falling on the Flemish clay.
The poem has a volta (turning
point). This is similar to a sonnet.
However, this poem only has 12
lines. The rhyming couplet is
missing. This could be because the
soldiers are dead; there is no
resolution.

the poem.
13. This links to ‘Charge of
the Light Brigade’, as the
soldiers are “noble”.
And wandered slowly thence
For thinking of a gallant multitude
“thence” means
from there
“gallant multitude” means lots
of brave soldiers.
14. This links to ‘Futility’, as
Owen also mentions “clay”.
Which now all withering lay,
Slain by no wind of age or pestilence,
But in their beauty strewed
Like snowflakes falling on the Flemish clay.
“Flemish clay” is a reference to
Flanders Fields. The snowflake
simile is repeated.
“withering
” means
dying.
The
soldiers
were not
killed by
old age or
disease.
Their
deaths
were
unnatural.
