On Monday, october 25,th I went to a state park after I finished work. Since I had endured so much stress from my job, it was a great opportunity for me to go to the park and relax, to be able to look at the world and forget about everything. The weather was beautiful and the sun was shining. There was an especially nice breeze that made the trees move and leaves fall. I had noticed that the sky was extremely clear and the birds seemed happy about the weather because they were flying every where and going from tree to tree.
Wiry grasses and wild flowers stripe the rocky ledges of the alpine capped with a white covering of snow. Wilderness coastlines are scattered with driftwood as the tide rises and falls with the sun. Ancient forests soak in the rainfall and offer a lush carpet of moss and lacy ferns under a ceiling of spruce, cedar, fir, and hemlock. Adventure, solitude, peace, and beauty are just a few of the offerings that attract over four million visitors annually. The matchless trio of ecosystems provides endless opportunity for activities for every family and level of fitness, from whale watching to winter snowboarding.
An Explanation of the Contrasts of Language used in “Silent Spring” Rachel Carson, presents a story of life in the country in her book “Silent Spring” (see Ref. 1). Where the world was once a comfortable place to live in, and nature all around us was pleasing to the human eye, this was all about to change and not for the better. It was the spring a wonderful time of the year, a season full of beauty a radiance of colours, birds sang in chorus, on the trees where they perched and ate the healthy berries that had ripened on the trees. The grass in the fields, where of different shades, some with tints of yellow where the sun had beamed down and scorched the grass, this was the glorious and beautiful countryside.
Jim Perrin uses a variety of descriptive and informative language in his article when talking about the differences between the Welsh hills in the summer and winter months. In the opening few paragraphs use of adjectives and creates a stunning picture of the fells in the readers head. He describes the hills as the “shapeliest” of British hills and says that only musical notation can describe their stature. Musical notation is believed by some to be the most graceful and elegant creations at the best of times which is how Perrin is portraying the mountains. Jim Perrin uses a strong contrast of positive and negative description to persuade the reader that the winter seasons bring more out of Snowdonia than the summer months.
When tracking Emily, he discovers a fine strand of hair in a tree, literally finding the needle in the outback haystack. As he calmly searches the land he is comfortable in that the ‘white man can’t understand’. The musical score is soft and melodic to demonstrate his bond with the environment. The experience for the audience, as determined by Perkins’ choice of song lyric, is enhanced through music as it provides and effective and simple avenue to achieve greater tolerance. Music allows for the development of expression as it provides a common language, something only Albert truly appreciates.
It's almost like singing, "If you're happy and you know it, think again!" What was a carefree bliss for the speaker turns out to be a fleeting joy that he ever can't recapture. What a bummer. Stanza 1 Summary Get out the microscope, because we’re going through this poem line-by-line. Lines 1-2 Now I was young and easy under the apple boughs About the lilting house and happy as the grass was green * Welcome to Fern Hill, where the speaker was once young and carefree.
These are all things that we associate with the spring season. The poem has great word choice and uses very descriptive words such as “red buds”, “beautiful orange twilight” and “jade powder”. These are all phrases that paint vivid pictures in the reader’s mind. For example, using the word jade is much more descriptive than just saying green. The excellent word choice of this poem also contributes to the amazing imagery that the author uses.
We fall into routines, take for granted what special gifts have been given to us and fail to appreciate and give thanks. PAY ATTENTION! Listen, and look for the positive in your life. Not just in your relationship, but especially in nature. The way the wind caresses the tops of trees, the dance a red-tailed hawk does amongst the clouds, and the warmth of the sun warming our very being.
The fact that they wobble makes a positive feeling in the reader becasue wobbling usually is cute and creates an image of the ducks being adorable. Furthermore the movement has a pattern, making it very similar to skipping, which is often done by young innocent children when they are happy. MacCaig touches on the stillness of this poem, when he uses sibilance of the sound “S”. It creates a vivd imagery of the place and it creates a sound that makes it seem like all the creatures and the everything thats happening is real. It draws the readers to think that they are at the farm with him.
Its bright green simplicity is the basic foundation to all of nature. When the small rabbits and doe frolic through the gorgeous green locks of the plain, that itself is beauty. Even the simplest little dandelion growing from the ground surrounded by the charming grass, or the newly growing flowers bursting with colorful life is true beauty in nature. To some, these things may not strike them as ‘beautiful,’ but to me, it’s the most delightful thing on this planet. I feel that the sun takes its energy and just injects it into the grass, and from there it explodes in the form of beauty as that grass develops and matures.
