She gains more emphasis of the tone towards the end of the poem, when she is taking the fall off of the window ledge. The poem uses first person point of view. “I apologize for disappointing you.” (lines 5-6). This causes the poem to be even more melancholy and sad, than it would be if the poet were to have used third person limited point of view, because the reader would not feel the intense emotion behind the words of the speaker. The poet uses simile throughout the poem to explain that if she were something different than herself, then she would meet the expectations of her parents.
Dickinson's poems were unique in those days; they contain short lines, typically lack titles, and often use slant rhyme as well as modern capitalization and punctuation. Many of her poems deal with themes of death and immortality. 5 Facts 1. Only fewer than a dozen of her nearly eighteen hundred poems were published during her lifetime. 2.
Jesse Smith Close Reading Anna Barbauld’s poem, “The Rights of Woman,” has a controversial debate, describing how women should take over and rule the world. Baurbauld was a poet, a freethinker but she wasn’t considered a feminist. In the poem, Barbauld acknowledges, “But hope not, courted idol of mankind, on this proud eminence secure to stay”(25). Meaning she’s advising women to stand up and play a higher role than men. But in reality she is scared to voice her true goal of the passage.
She’s just self-obsessed, and unable to judge herself and her position honestly. It seems at every chance she gets, Curley’s wife likes to talk about her lost opportunities. She speaks of a traveling actor who told her she could join their show, without gathering that this is a pretty standard pick-up line. Same with the offer to go to Hollywood: Curley’s wife has convinced herself that her mother stole the letter, rather than realize the men weren’t really interested in her for any actual talent. Curley’s wife’s obsession with herself ultimately leads to her death.
#). For poems or plays with line numbers, you can use the line number instead of paragraph number. o When quoting lines of poetry less than 4 lines in length use a slash (/) to indicate a break between the lines. Example: “What happens to a dream deferred / Does it dry up / like a raisin in the sun?” (cited in Clugston, 2010, Imagery, para. 15).
Nichols uses a essential of life "water" to introduce what the poem will be like: her describing how much Nichols needed her. Next Larkin says "Not the usual stuff about being beautiful" He does this as if to say that he is not going to say anything about being perfect "the usual stuff" (informal tone suggests he intends it to make the poem quite plain.). However he does wish that if one of these exceptional qualities shine through, she should have a happy life like that "And should it prove possible, well, you're a lucky girl." (once again the use of the informal "well" furthers the sense of plainness.) Nichols however uses a very different tone, she uses words such as "pull", "mantling", "warm" and "replenishing" to say that her mother was essential to how she is now.
These readings and poems are literally inspirational. It does not matter if you’re a lesbian or a queer, if there is love, then there is love. Like there are a few passages and poems I loved. In “La Ofrenda by Cheeríe Moraga” chronicling her love for her childhood friend Tiny, Moraga casually exposes the failure of the heterosexist machos of the Chicano movement to keep their women satisfied, and in doing so undermines the male ego: “Tiny used to say her contribution to La Causa was to keep the girlfriends of the Machos happy while they were out being too revolutionary to screw”. Not only does
Though, their “duties” may be completely different, each makes their writing all the more better. In Anne Dillard’s To Fashion a Text, she told her readers right away that she wasn’t going to write an autobiography, because it would be dull to read. Dillard knows that her work must be interesting in order for the reader to continue reading the piece of work. To make sure her writing
I mean, of course, a time will come when Torvald is not as devoted to me, not quite so happy when I dance for him, and dress for him, and play with him. Explanation for Quotation 1 >> In this quotation from Act One, Nora describes to Mrs. Linde the circumstances under which she would consider telling Torvald about the secret loan she took in order to save his life. Her claim that she might consider telling him when she gets older and loses her attractiveness is important because it shows that Nora has a sense of the true nature of her marriage, even as early as Act One. She recognizes that Torvald’s affection is based largely on her appearance, and she knows that when her looks fade, it is likely that Torvald’s interest in her will fade as well. Her suggestion that in the future she may need something to hold over Torvald in order to retain his faithfulness and devotion to her reveals that Nora is not as naïve as she pretends to be.
