Other photographs from the film illuminate scenes and speeches from selected plays, along with the texts of sixteen of the 154 sonnets first published as Shakespeare’s in 1609. These sixteen sonnets, presented to the unwary buyer as “the love poems of William Shakespeare,” have been carefully chosen and cunningly ordered. The first two selections, sonnets 104 (“To me, fair friend, you never can be old”) and 106 (“When in the chronicles of wasted time / I see descriptions of fairest wights”), give to the whole affair an antique patina. Next comes that poem of ten thousand weddings, sonnet 116 (“Let me not to the marriage of true minds / Admit impediments”). Two sonnets explicitly referring to a woman, 130 (“My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun”) and 138 (“When my love swears that she is made of truth, / I do believe her”), then establish a thoroughly heterosexual, if not altogether conventional, context for the eleven sonnets that follow (18, 23, 24, 29, 40, 46, 49, 57, 71, 86, 98), even though all eleven of these poems in the 1609 Quarto form part of a sequence that seems to be addressed to a fair young man.
The poem has a rhyme scheme of A, B, A, A, B, C, B, C, B. The poem follows a one nine line stanza with a pivot in the fifth line. There is no specific setting in the poem.

In parts, rhymes occur in rhyming pairs of lines in succession called couplets: “Apples I didn’t pick upon some bough. / But I am done with apple-picking now” (5-6). Triplets also occur: “But I was well / Upon my way to sleep before it fell, / And I could tell” (14-16). Sometimes, rhymes occur at every other line: “Essence of winter sleep is on the night, / The scent of apples: I am drowsing off. / I cannot rub the strangeness from my sight” (7-9).
Whereas, a short story varies from a few hundred to about 15,000 words and according to Edgar Poem, “ a short story is to be read at a single setting”. Subsequently, the novel expands, whereas the short story compresses and the similarities in medium and the distinction between artistic methods in the novel and the short story, can be indicated in any of the prior mentioned. In “Love Orange” written by Olive Senior, language is used economically and yet, tells a complete tale. Limited in perspective (with the use of first person narration and short length of words), Senior’s main concern was the symbolism. The orange represents love and what it meant to the little girl in the story and this is evident through the phrase, “ Love, I thought, was like an orange, a fixed and sharply defined amount, limited, finite.
Sadly, Daisy nor Gatsby achieve their desires. Fitzgerald explores this theme of loss of dreams through the use of color symbolism. There are three prominet color symbols throughout the novel.

The Gift – Unselfish Love ENG 125 Introductions to Literature Instructor: April MacGrotty John E. Riggs November 27, 2011 The Gift pg. 1 The timeless short story The Gift of the Magi, penned by O. Henry and first published in 1905 uses the dichotomy of wealth and poverty and brings a splendid account of the love and the treasured relationship between two young people bound to each other in austere point of time in history. O. Henry takes the story reader to a time when that could transcend decades as there always seems to be dichotomy mentioned above. Times were challenging for the young couple and salaries reduced just meeting the eight dollar a week rent on the small furnished flat they occupied, with shabby furniture on the poorer side of town. The young couple, who knew better financial times, used Jim’s full name to bring an air of importance to their place in the building.
Blackberry-Picking Blackberry-Picking is a poem written by the great Seamus Heaney. The poem creates a contrast between Heaney’s perceptions of the world as a child to his new perception as he begins to grow up. Once again, similar to his other poems, he addresses the theme of childhood memories. The poem surrounds the constant use of different imageries and an irregular rhyme scheme to describe the feelings the writer endures while picking blackberries. The poem includes two stanzas that were filled with opposite contents, the first stanza being twice as long as the second.
