As they walk the wall together “one on a side” repairing damage, the narrator muses about why they need a wall at all. While the other farmer only repeats the mantra he learned from his father “good fences make good neighbors”. Upon closer examination we find that this story is probably about more than a simple wall. What this poem means exactly and what conclusions can be drawn, is open to interpretation. Like the narrator in this poem, Frost sometimes had
This may be why this poem is written like it is, compared to poetry written years after this. Marvell puts across the point of they don’t have all the time in the world together, if they don’t have sexual intercourse soon. This may be because points we’re looked at differently two hundred years after Shakespeare time. The first similarity I noticed was that the both poems share the same theme. This is the theme of Love.
Each poem I have chosen reflects aspects of contemplation, sadness or regret. Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" examines feelings of regret and choices in time, Sir Walter Raleigh's "Life" is a poem of contemplation; of existence and time before its end. Finally, John Milton's "Of Time", a typically dramatic piece by the 16th century master of 'epic' poetry. "Of Time" is written of the bittersweet relationship between mortal lives and the aching shortness of said lives. The chosen image of an hourglass is a typical, although, undeniably apt choice of symbolism wherever time is involved.
The author uses the poetic device of rhyme at the end of every line. If you start at the beginning the ending to the first line rhymes to the next consecutive line. For example, “gold and hold “, “flower and hour “, and “leaf and grief “are all rhyming pairs. In the second line of the poem the author uses alliteration when repeating to initial consonant sound “ H “ when saying “ her hardest hue “. The rhyme and alliteration in the poem help to set the rhyme scheme of the poem.
A wrath that could be as simple as facing turmoil or tragedy in your life or in the life of a loved one. On page 66 there is a chart that shows morality of hot-buttons. I agree with each of those categories and where they lie under the Authoritative God column. Our Bibles, which are the ultimate guide to the life that God wants for each of us, tells us how to live our lives. God created man and woman so that they would have each other as partners, the same as each animal.
Even thou at the time I didn’t know they were called Nursery Rhymes until I began learning more about it in my school. Having my parents read to me at a very young age somewhat jumpstarted my brain and led me to learn lots of words and phrases as a kid. Being that they read to me every night, I always was listening and hearing words and even sometimes having an image to relate words to. I believe that the reading that was done for me every night before I went to bed was a large part of my learning to read. At this age, it was almost as if I’d rather not see the words, but just listen to them and look at all the pictures.
This poem is very well organized with words chosen very carefully making it smooth and easy to recite. These rhyme schemes help make the poem more interesting. Rhyme schemes also help Poe highlight key words that he wants his audience to notice. Poe had many rhymes in The Raven, yet he made it so the poem does not sound like a nursery rhyme or a children’s poem by using his very complex vocabulary. Symbolism plays a very big role in “The Raven”.
[10 points] The ideas and images presented in the poem follow its formal organization. However, the Shakespearean sonnet is the most flexible form allowing for the poem to follow the fluctuation of an octave/sestet and flows as a [(8)+(4+2)]. Thus, the first eight lines form the octave with a shift just before the ninth line. The last six form the sestet, which is broken up into four lines then there is the turn and the last two rhyming lines of iambic pentameter create the heroic couplet. This formation works particularly well for “Oh, think not I am faithful to a vow!” because she presents her problem in the first eight lines by giving two examples back to back of reasons that would cause her to leave.
The poem “Upon the Burning of our House,” by Anne Bradstreet, was in many ways one of the most devout showings of Puritanism. Bradstreet makes many allusions to the bible, as well as to God himself. The poem proves that all in the world is temporary in the eyes of God, but only as a test for our faith in him. Bradstreet uses both allusion, and inverted syntax to show just how temporary mundane items are. These two literary devices are also used to create the dramatic setting of the poem and form the ideas of Puritan values.
