The first and probably most obvious similarity is that they are both fruits, and quite popular fruits at that. Both apples and oranges are tasty and are good sources of vitamin C. The FDA recognizes apples and oranges as a full serving of fruit on the food pyramid. Another similarity between these is that they both grow on trees and are generally a round spherical shape with seeds in the center. They are both often packed in lunches or as snacks because they are easy to handle and can last a long time in a refrigerator before going bad. In contrast, apples are usually red or green, and oranges are surprisingly an orange color.
In the first stanza, the poem opens by portraying the warm days of early autumn in their finest, representing a mother’s pregnancy and the birth of a new life. Newly-born autumn and the “maturing” sun are personified as “conspiring… how to load and bless / With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run” (3-4), closely associating young autumn with the aging sunlight while alluding to the Christian belief that the father God, through his son Jesus, blesses those who take the path of the righteous with the “fruits” of joy and peace. It is curious that Keats would use the word “conspire” with such positive intentions on part of autumn and the sun, suggesting a sort of kind-spirited wittiness that is common among the nymphs and mythical creatures of Greek and Roman lore. Keats goes on to write that autumn and the sun “bend with apples the mossed cottage-trees” (5); one would not expect something as short and stumpy as an orchard tree to grow something as rich as apples, providing an implied sense of irony and an appreciation that life “knows no bounds,” as one would put it. Keats expands this idea of growth being a merciful bounty by using the olfactory and gustatory imagery of providing “flowers for the bees” (9) and “fill[ing] all
Spring Hail Analysis Spring Hail is a poem written by Les Murray. A literal interpretation of the poem tells the story of young boy and his pony and their journey through the aftermath of a storm. The repeated refrain “this is for spring and hail, that you may remember: for a boy long ago and a pony that could fly” allows a hint of nostalgia to seep into the consciousness of the audience while reading the poem and allows the audience to understand that the poem is a recollection of past events. The lilting voice of the poem and lack of rhyming scheme also means the poem can be easily taken as simply a vividly written narrative. But further contemplation reveals the poem to be a lyrical analogy.
In Erich Maria Remarque’s book, All Quiet on the Western Front, nature appears as a means of projecting the mood of the book. There are many instances of nature that affect Paul and how he thinks of war and how both nature and war have changed him. In chapter one for example, the mood is placed by how nature is being described. The first chapter has descriptions about how the flowers and butterflies were so beautiful even if it was a war zone. "The grasses sway their tall spears; the white butterflies flutter around and float on the warm wind of the late summer."
Browning over-exaggerates the features and beauty of the nature of England almost making them come alive with her use of personification. The poem is very descriptive and also plays on all the five senses. She shows the sense of taste with the use of the word ‘sweeter’ in line 12, ‘ Made sweeter for the step upon the grass’ and also line 20, ‘Fed full of noises by invisible streams,’ the sense of hearing is shown using the word ‘noises.’ Browning also used the repetition to give the reader a sense of continuity. She shows that nature is evergreen and will be omnipresent in this world. This can be seen with the repetition of words like ‘the’ and ‘and’.
He first describes his surroundings with things such as “sunshine and great bursts of leaves growing on the trees” which convey happiness and fresh start (4). He compares this to movies, saying that it grows just as fast and he shows hope by saying that “ life was beginning over again” (4). While utilizing these particular words, the author develops a cheerful mood and a bright outlook on what may happen to Nick in his future in the West Egg. Rhetorical Analysis Chapter 4-6 Thesis: In this passage, Fitzgerald uses affectionate and admiring diction to describe Gatsby’s feelings towards Daisy. (90-91) The author sets an
Cather made the seasons the biggest connection with the life of Burden. The spring brings lovely fruit and life with it. For example "I couldn't feel so tired that I wouldn't fret about these trees when there was a dry time (340). They were on my mind like children" (340). Cather uses Antonia’s life that is steadily growing and changing, to change the way Burden see Antonia.
“There was a touch of warmth in the autumn sunshine, and what few trees I saw, all bent a little away from the prevailing wind. Still had a few last russet and golden leaves clinging on to the ends of their branches” this is meaning that the nice autumn feeling you get from the change from summer makes it so easy to describe. Golden leaves suggest that the leaves are now changing colour because of the season change and so the leaves will eventually fall. This will have an effect on the reader because they will be able to imagine the scene and what mood it is trying to make you feel. However…further on in that paragraph it says what Arthur Kipps imagined it would have been like.
The story begins with a descriptive picture of exactly what the town looks like creating a vision of small town perfection. The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blooming and the grass was richly green. (261). Jackson’s choice of details pulls us into the town in which unthinkable brutality is blindly taking place as a normal everyday occurrence under the false image of perfection. We are given specific details of time (about 10 AM), date (June 27th), and temperature (warm) allowing us to feel a part of the anticipated adventure that is about to unfold.
How do the differing structures, forms and language change the feel of ‘March’ and ‘But These Things Also’ Both ‘March’ and ‘But These Things Also’ comment on the ways in which winter transitions into spring. They both specifically focus on the theme of cycles; spring is seen as the season of new life, a fresh start, and new beginnings. Therefore both poems show a hope a search for spring. The poem uses two specific species of birds to represent the promise of spring. In March the poem describes thrushes as a sign of spring.
