At first the poem doesn’t seem to have any of the traditional flow and rhymes at the end of the lines, but he does show internal rhyming within the lines. Stafford is a poet who does not follow traditional formatting within is work. The title of the poem is “Ask Me,” any reader may think “Ask Me what?” But the title speaks for itself as you read on. His poem at first is a little unclean on what is really being asked and to whom. The first line says “Some time when the river is ice ask me mistakes I have made” (Stafford).
Sandra Lee Scheuer Gary Geddes poem titled, “Sandra Lee Scheuer”, is written as a response to a tragic death reported in a small news excerpt from the Akron Beacon Journal. Within the poem Geddes truly puts a face to a young woman who was murdered by an Ohio National guard during a student protest. The poem brings us into the day in a life of an unassuming student who may have otherwise only been known through her closest family and friends. In contrast, the Akron Beacon Journal explains the death of Sandra Lee Scheuer as unjustified due to her seemingly proper stature by comparison to her peers. Both of the writings exemplify a certain regret towards her death, yet Gedds' poetry creates an artistic channel which quickly pulls on the reigns of the readers emotions.
She often exprienced "periods of unhappiness and questioning the loyalty of her friends" witch became her motivation to really begin writing. She talks about death and anti-love in many of her stories. That became her niche, and she used that to her advantage. Both authors seem to write about diffrent topics but try to reach the same audience
Aibileen's only son had been killed in an accident where a white man had basically left him to die. This has made Aibileen hurt a lot inside, but also made her quite tough. She is the first maid who opened up to Skeeter and helped her with the book “The Help”. In the film Aibileen goes from having (what I would say) quite low self confidence, to a woman who is willing to fight for herself and for her people's rights. Sadly in the end Aibileen is punished for helping Skeeter with her book and is fired by Elizabeth(under the influence of her friend Hilly).
In this essay, I am going to highlight just a few of the many types of figurative language in just a few of Emily Dickerson’s Poems. In the first poem on page 751 called “This is my letter to the World” by Dickinson, she uses personification. On lines 1 and 2 she writes “This is my letter to the World Than never Wrote to Me-”. In these lines, Dickinson is expressing to the reader that she never really got much of a response from the world after she expressed her feelings towards it. This use of figurative language helps me understand by helping me see how Dickinson feels that people feel about her.
The rhyme scheme is AABB; meaning that the first two lines of each quatrain rhyme as do the second two lines. This rhyme scheme creates a very simple and easy to follow flow for the poem. The poem is told from the point of view of an ambiguous narrator. Withholding the identity and all personal details of the speaker, makes readers able to place themselves into the poem. The first quatrain explains that the narrator at one time became angry with a friend.
Reading T.S. poems at first is like reading a language that is not fluent to you. T.S. Eliot uses many different techniques for his poems to be read aloud to make no sense to then after further investigation being acquitted in to his world of the modernism era. Such techniques include personification, metaphors, epigraphs, sibilance, dramatic irony, imagery, simile and symbolism.
Although they don’t know much how to pronounce the words, they are good at grammar and writing composition. This result still affects me when I learn English in the Unites States because of my habit. I feel feared to pronounce something wrong that make the people will laugh at me so I decide to use writing to express my thoughts. The relationship between reading and writing is a strong and important connection. Without reading, you can’t become a good writer because you don’t know how to gather your ideas in words.
Ralph Waldo Emerson taught her about transcendentalism which would become a big part of her poetry later on in life. By the age of 20, Emily Dickinson had begun the path to seclusion that would define the rest of her life. The deaths of several friends and mentors had begun weighing heavily on Emily’s mind and sent her depression even
Hardy published Tess of the D'Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure which are now very well thought of but were criticised at the time. Such was the level of criticism for Jude the Obscure, Hardy decided to move away from writing books and turned to poetry. The death of his wife Emma in 1912 had a huge impact on Hardy and he wrote many poems about her and his feelings for her. Even though he remarried (to his secretary, Florence Dugdale) it is said he never got over the loss of Emma. Themes which recur in Hardy's writings are injustice, love, break ups, disappointment, fate and the unfair treatment of women.
