In both poems phonetic spellings are used to emphasize the point the poet is trying to make. By using the kind of dialect they speak instead of the proper written language they are trying to show why people think of them differently. In a way they are ridiculing these people because they obviously know how to write properly and are merely using the phonetic spelling to help prove and accentuate the point they are trying to make. However, the phonetic spellings also help make the poems more personal because we can relate to the poet more and what he is trying to prove. It also means that the poem seems more conversational and less organized.
I talk to my friends in a different way than I should, so when I begin to write, I write what I’m use to speaking. This is another major problem I have in writing because I will never learn how to write proper English. My third goal is to focus and understand a piece of literature. In other words, if we begin to read an uninteresting book, I start to slack off and not pay any attention. I need to learn to get use to books that I never imagined me reading because I don’t have a choice but to do it.
I was nervous and I didn’t have speaking points so I just decided to read directly from my script. One weakness that I had while delivering this speech was memory, which is one of the classical cannons of rhetoric. I didn’t practice as much as I should so I decided to read directly from my script, since I didn’t remember everything I wrote. Another weakness was pronunciation, I didn’t pronounce some words correctly which led me to pause and re-read it again. Delivering this speech was a little difficult for me since I’m a little shy in front of a group of people.
Meaningless words are words that get used so much that people have developed different meanings for them. “In certain kinds of writing, particularly in art criticism and literary criticism, it is normal to come across long passages which are almost completely lacking in meaning” (Orwell, 2). In today’s society, words are being associated with things that they would not normally be associated with. For example,
By Matsuo Basho|My Original Piece:“The porcelain knob With beautiful blemishesLite up the dark world”By Simran Patel| Explanation of How Form Affects Theme In Matsuo Basho’s poem, the closed form haiku, affects the theme in multiple ways. Since the haiku is a short poem and only has a certain amount of syllables, it creates a mysterious aspect to the poem as not many details can be given. The author chose to use the vague form of a haiku for a reason, as it does not give enough detail to paint a picture of the character. In this sense the haiku can be interpreted in multiple ways and is easier to relate to, in regards to the theme of isolation. The haiku can relate to the possible isolation of the reader as it does not have enough lines and syllables to specifically describe who the character in the poem is.
In “No Time”, the narrator is plagued by problems concerning society. In “Leisure” the narrator seems to not notice the beauty of nature also due to their lack of time.Another instance where these poems differ is the tone of the speaker. In “Leisure”, The speaker’s tone seems slightly perplexed while on the other hand in “No Time”,The narrator’s tone sounds as if they are rushed as if they are late for an event such as a job. In “Leisure”, by William Henry Davies, the concept of time is addressed in many aspects of the poem. The main theme of “Leisure” is the way humans have forgotten how to spend their leisure time appreciating the small things in life, in this case enjoying the epitome of nature’s beauty.
He claims that the best writing is writing that not only amuses the reader, but impacts them as well; and in order to do that, a writer must be in touch with their emotions. Without emotions, such as fear, a writer simply writes as if they have forgotten the problems of the human heart. In the speech, Faulkner continues provide the necessary steps in writing for a bigger purpose: to fulfill their duty as writers. Faulkner challenges young writers to become the pillars for an unbalanced society by sprinkling the speech with antonyms, parallelisms, and polysyndetons. When opening up the speech, Faulkner describes the type of writer he is by incorporating antonyms.
Character Essay The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock An insecure yet very opinionated character was Prufrock. A “seen it all” kind of attitude was through the whole poem, but there was still a simple love character beneath him that he was too shy to show. He expresses a lot of himself, though he lacks a sense of confidence. (40) “And indeed there will be time, to wonder, ‘Do I dare? And ‘Do I dare?’, Time to turn back and descend the stair, with a bald spot in the middle of my hair”.The poem starts out with verses of “what not to do with your love”, yet he fails to express the person he has feelings for but also fails to recognize himself in all this.
He made his mind up that it was a bad book. He realized to that quality of composing the books of Mr. Leinster. First of all, he noticed that Mr. Leinster used the word “Zestful” too frequency. He also considered that “Zestful” is not an appropriated word to use in a novel or a story. Therefore, he won’t do that in his writing because it may decrease the reader’s attention.
Prompt: British critics have expressed a sense of disbelief that Henry would not recognize the lines of Matthew Arnold’s poem, “Dover Beach, “ones of the most famous poems in English literature. Yet Henry has pointed out repeatedly that he’s impatient when reading literature. Is it ironic that Henry- a character, after all, in a literary work- is so resistant to the appeal of fiction and poetry? Why might McEwan have chosen “Dover Beach” as the poem that saves Daisy by appealing so powerfully to Baxter? What does it mean to him?
