Both “The Prelude” by William Wordsworth and “London” By William Blake” convey strong ideas and feelings about a place. Blake’s poem is most subjective about the city, contrary to the title. The reader would think that the title “London” is objective and unbiased; however Blake’s condemnation of the city is apparent from the start of the poem. On a simple level, the poem is a description of the misery Blake sees as he “wanders” around London. On a deeper level however, he is criticizing not only the condition of the city itself, but the monarchy and government who oppress it.
Now to think that Sandburg Would steal work from other poets is outrageous, people just don’t know good poetry when they see it. Majority of Sandburg’s poetic works including “Chicago” was based on Chicago, Illinois. I Am ht People, the Mob” from Chicago poems is an example. The ending of the poem is similar to the style of Walt Whitman (1819-1892). Many of Sandburg’s best works came from the poem book “Chicago”.
In the description, Fitzgerald uses pathetic fallacy at the very start to portray the moods and emotions of the time. He uses such words as ‘grey land’, ‘dismal scene’ and ‘dimmed’. He uses such words to reflect Nick’s mood, as he is reluctant
Maybe it is because the events in Chicago are a lot worse than any other city. According to Anti Essays, the main purpose of this poem is to defend the common theories that are directed toward the city of Chicago. This makes sense because the speaker addresses the corruption of the city in lines 6-11, and he also points out the flaws of other cities by saying “Come and show me another city with lifted head singing so proud to / be alive and coarse and strong and cunning.” (14-15) When Sandburg says this, he is saying that regardless of all the negative things about Chicago, it is still full of good people and he is proud of that. Why Carl Sandburg probably talks bad about Chicago in the beginning but says he is proud to be a part of it at the end is because in his eyes there is no other city like Chicago, whether it is in a good way or a bad way. He talks about how the people of Chicago brag and laugh together which shows that the people in the city have a strong relationship with one another.
Meyer presents several incidents that support his opening premise; “there’s something rotten in the state of America.” He filters this statement through his lens and the similar viewpoints of those who are close to him. Despite the fact that hate and malcontent are emphasized in each of the present day situations he describes, the main point of the article is not so much about hate as it is about the consequences of hate, which include individual isolation and a general lack of human
Throughout Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain uses satire to attack what he sees as the hypocritical views of the midwestern society. Nothing is sacred to his words, especially not slavery, politics, human nature or religion. From the first chapter with Miss Watson's preaching about heaven and hell to the performance of the Royal Nonesuch to the dramatic escape planned for Jim, Twain infuses the story with satire to the detriment of our opinion of the river society he is describing. Religion is one of the key victims of Twain's satire. He speaks through Huck declaring it, at least as it was taught, to be irrelevant to the average person's life, "Here she was a-bothering about Moses, which was no kin to her, and no use to anybody, being gone, you see..."

The Bracelet-Japanese Internment Numerous stories and poems have different views of America. “The Bracelet” by Yoshiko Uchida, “I, Too” by Langston Hughes, and “Chinese Hot Pot” by Wing Tuk Lum all show America from various perspectives. In “The Bracelet” the author shows America in as a negative place. It shows how cruel America can be once we become apprehensive about something. The narrator, Ruri, is frightened throughout the story and it shows that through the tone of the story.
At several points in the story, he all but addresses us directly, imploring us, for example, to notice how bad Aylmer looks in comparison even to an animal like Aminadab. The narrator can also be characterized as a moralist who condescends to his readers. Rather than trusting us to figure out the symbolism of the birthmark, for example, or allowing us to draw our own conclusions about the soundness of Aylmer’s experiment, the narrator rushes to explain every metaphor and symbol as if we might miss his point. The strong narrative voice of “The Birthmark” epitomizes a key difference between modern American short stories and nineteenth-century American short stories. Modern stories are often told in an objective, distant, even ironic voice, whereas nineteenth-century stories were usually told by passionate narrators who infused their own strong opinions.
Analysis of Chicago by Carl Sandburg Imagery played a very important part in the poem because it gave the reader an image in there head of the city and the environment inside along with the people who lived there The main purpose of this poem is to defend the common theories that are directed toward the city of Chicago. The speaker addresses the corruption of the city, which shows he is honest about what he says, but also points out the flaws of other cities and their people. The speaker also points out that even though Chicago is corrupt and bad on the outside, it still has good people on the inside. In the first stanza Carl Sandburg gives details about the jobs of the city and the things most noticed about it. The first stanza states the name HOG butcher of the world which gives the person an image of a butcher in the city; it also states tool makers, Stacker of wheat and railroad workers.
Owen sympathizes with the vain young men who have no idea of the horrors of war, who are 'seduced' by others (Jessie Pope) and the recruiting posters. The detail in Owen's poetry puts forward his scenes horrifically and memorably. His poems are suffused with the horror of battle. Many of Owen's poems bring across disturbing themes and images, which stay in the mind long after readers have read them. His aim is not poetry, but to describe the full horrors of war.
