In Erich Maria Remarque’s book, All Quiet on the Western Front, nature appears as a means of projecting the mood of the book. There are many instances of nature that affect Paul and how he thinks of war and how both nature and war have changed him. In chapter one for example, the mood is placed by how nature is being described. The first chapter has descriptions about how the flowers and butterflies were so beautiful even if it was a war zone. "The grasses sway their tall spears; the white butterflies flutter around and float on the warm wind of the late summer."
However, as I continue to read, it is apparent that she is referring to herself as all these different things such as the ocean which calls down the moon so she can rest in its light and dream. She also referred to herself as the sand that holds the ocean in her arms gently rocking the planet. Nikki Giovanni transfers her thoughts and feelings into her poety like no other poet can do. What she does is remarkable; her use of emotion is one reason why she is one of the most profound poets in American literature. Truth is very evident is some of Nikki Giovanni's poems.
One of his artworks, "Midsummer Snowballs" (2000), consists of thirteen oversize snowball sculptures formed out of concealed pieces of natural materials, including river pebbles, ears of barley and feathers. Goldsworthy challenges the art institutions by displaying each of his sculptures outside in different public areas throughout London during the summer seasons. He also challenges the permanence of the art object, as some of these snowballs took as long as six days to melt. Many by passers took notice of the sculpture and couldn’t help but be amazed by its existence as they gazed and touched the snowball during its exhibition. Through this sculpture, Goldsworthy presents a unique confrontation between the wilderness and the city – snowballs made in the Scottish winter brought to the city of London during the summertime.
People come from all over the island to dive here, since the water is extremely clear allowing you to see all the different sea life. When the tide is low, small tide pools are created. My children can spend numerous hours playing in the pools. They’re either looking at all the colorful fish that are trapped or just sitting in the pools, cooling off from the hot Okinawa sun. Sometimes they get overly excited going from one pool to another and slip on the coral reef, which can put a damper on all the fun.
In the sentence , “I feel their pulse of life racing through their bodies” not only means moving through them but it means it’s happening rapid pace. Another example is when Cox describes the sensation of sand in a swimsuit rubbing against her like sandpaper, she is describing physical pain and numbness she feels. Cox describes the sunrise as a giant eye opening but she is talking about the shape. She describes the whales dimples like golf balls because of there form and contour. She describes the whale’s hair like the whiskers of a cat, since they are same thickness and shape.
In this poem, and most, there are examples of figurative language. When describing the snowman, the author writes, “the pale-faced figure with bitumen eyes” as a way to give the poem life and depth, as opposed to just saying the white snowman with coal eyes. We all know what a snowman looks like, but here the snowman is taking on more of a lifelike personality. By saying, “Returns him such a God–forsaken stare, as outcast Adam gave to paradise,” the author is giving this snowman a human-like personality. In the little boys mind, the snowman is begging the young boy to come in, like a puppy.
In F.R. Scott’s poem entitled “Calamity”, he shows that a natural disaster isn’t only a terrible thing, but also as chance where people could unite together for the better sake of mankind. In the poem, a laundry truck rolled down a hill and hit a maple tree. This calamity brought the people around the neighbourhood, who usually don’t even speak to each other, to give assistance because of the disaster that had just happened. Later on, the police came and
Fitzgerald uses imagery to compare the components of hockey with other finely detailed images. In the first paragraph, the author describes the ice to appear tired and resigned. He goes on to compare it to a "Xmas store window, not before the miniture fir trees...were arranged upon it, but after they had been dismantled and cleared away" (6). Continuing on to the second paragraph, Fitzgerald envisions the game to be full of energy, motion, and speed. To the "innocent" this sudden change seemed "paradoxical like the frantic darting of the weightless bugs which run on the surface of stagnant pools" (14).
The movie is not entertaining at all. It is very misleading and anti-climatic. Babette makes decision that no ordinary person would make that a large majority of the audience would find illogical. Three other movies that caught my eye is Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Ben-Hur, and Life is Beautiful. Willy Wonka showed many vices and I saw that Willy Wonka is actually symbolic of God.
Boo is afraid of how Maycomb will judge him, much like how the blacks are judged and prejudiced against by the whites. Another example showing Boo’s innocence is his relationship to the tree in front of his yard. Throughout the novel, Jem and Scout find many assorted items in an oak tree in the Radley yard- from chewing gum to an old spelling bee medal. There is a strong implication that the items in the tree are left by Boo Radley. It is never said, but all the evidence points to this because the tree is in the Radley yard itself.
