On the other hand, Slessor’s poem “William Street” challenges the readers by attributing beauty to the urban setting of the city streets. The poem “Harbour Dusk” conveys sadness and demise that an individual can experience due to place. The persona
‘Marks of weakness, marks of woe’ Blake uses marks as an abstract noun to describe the sadness of the people that he meets and also as a concrete noun to describe the physical cuts and scars. This is also commented on in Jon Crook’s critical reading of London where he states that the word shifts from a verb to a noun and that by making marks Blake discovers worlds, in London he has discovered a world of misery marked in the faces that he passes. The second stanza has a semantic field of sadness and pain, the repetition of ‘in every’ is an effective way to show that this sadness is affecting everyone in the city of London at the time. It shows the emotion in ‘cry of every man’ and ‘infants cry of fear’ that they are all going through the same pain. It also symbolises the lack of freedom when he says ‘in every ban.’ The last line in the second stanza is ambiguous ‘The mind-forg’d manacles I hear’ is a metaphorical phrase that reinforces the feeling of being trapped in London, the word manacles has connotations of slavery and that the people of London are enslaving themselves.
In Robert Frost’s poem, the imagery brings about a sad and depressing mood. In the line, “I have looked down the saddest city lane.” You can observe that the character is taking in his surroundings, which prove to be gloomy and depressing. It almost shows that he has a very negative outlook on life, like he’s stuck in a state of depression. On the other hand, in Dickinson’s poem the imagery brings about a state of confusion almost as if the narrator is lost in the darkness. This can be seen in “The Bravest – grope a little – And sometimes hit a Tree Directly in the Forehead – But as they learn to see –” This line shows that the narrator is lost in the night and doesn’t know where to go, due to the inability to see anything in the dark.
Author Peter Moskos took a different approach to writing a book about the police than most authors do. Instead of interviewing different officers form departments and believing all they have to say (because they never talk up stories or stretch the truth), Peter Moskos became a Baltimore cop and worked in the ghetto of the eastern district. In his book Cop in the Hood, he talks about the everyday struggles of being a cop and also talks about his personal view of policing and the academy. In the beginning of the book Peter talks about how useless he and other officers feel the academy is. He says that the sole purpose of the academy is “to protect the department from the legal liability that could result from negligent training” (22).
Henry Lawson ‘Up the Country’ and Kenneth Slessor ‘William St’ The view of the city being beautiful and the country being awful, is shared by both Henry Lawson and Kenneth Slessor. ‘Up the Country’ (Henry Lawson) show this view in his poem, by saying the country is a horrible, monotonous place to stay. ‘William St’ (Kenneth Slessor) portrays this view by beautifying the slums of the city. In ‘Up the Country’ Henry Lawson gives a very negative image of the bush. He has written this poem in first person, so as to give his personal opinion of the bush.
The article claims that efforts targeted to catch offenders are harsh, inappropriate and a waste of time. Since neither prostitutes nor the male customers run to the police to complain about the other's conduct, police must count on trickery and deceit. For example, in some cities, laws against prostitution are converting local policemen into de facto car thieves and policewomen into masquerade prostitutes. Unfortunately, according to the article laws against prostitution bring out the worst among the nation's law-enforcement agencies. Putting prostitutes and their customers in jail will just overcrowd jails which causes hardships to many
Robert Mullner The soft focus of the photograph and the solidity colour of the rocks with the calm colours of the sunset intrigues me. I admire the fact usage of the mood that is being presented which is a calm mood. The significance this photograph has on me is how it is such a natural photo being made into a beautiful landscape photo Ozlay The digital composition of this photograph make the time being experienced seem vintage. The red tones in it create a feeling of summer and its festives. The disrupted focus is intriguing as it creates more creativity to the close-up shot of the Esky.
However, the way they presented the book and the styles of writing are very different. One should be focus on the purpose of writing these books in order to compare them. Bernier wrote this book as if it was the diary for his stay in Mogul Empire. I assumed that he did not have any plan to see or to do in Mogul Empire. Professor Liu once mentioned that “the doctor travelled without purpose.” It is the main reason why we can read a lot of random materials in this book.
Adeline feels the fresh breeze; she sees the flowery luxuriance of the turf. Her senses all lead to the feeling of enjoyment, as happiness and warmth flow throughout her body. As the setting is described, it seems as if time stops, so the character can absorb all the nature she is viewing. Radcliffe depicts the environment so perfectly that readers breathlessly follow the scenery with rich images. It’s an almost magical setting that depicts particular feelings, mainly pleasure
The poem “London” describes Blake’s dislike of London and how he views it as the downfall of modern society; he continually repeats the word “Chartered” and sees the city as fake, regulated and unnatural. Wordsworth, on the other hand, expresses his feelings towards London in the form of a sonnet. This – along with his admiring language such as “Majesty” and “Splendour”- make it clear to see that he adores the city. The moods created in the two poems vary greatly, from dismal and hopeless in Blake’s, to proud and ecstatic in Wordsworth’s rendition. In the following essay I will explore in greater detail the emotions and romantic aspects of the poems, and the opinions of the writers and audiences.
