Let me count the ways.” (Line 1 Sonnet 43) The use of first person, authenticates that both poems are written for a personal response, this however cannot be seen in ‘Romeo and Juliet’ apart from when the characters speak. The use of alliteration in ‘Sonnet 43’, confirms that the poem was written for Browning’s lover. The repetition of “I love thee...” Shows it’s a personal poem for her true love. However, ‘Valentine’ could be interpreted as an open poem to allow the readers to understand the experiences Duffy has faced. The use of “...we are, for as long as we are.” (Line 16 and 17) Shows that Duffy is inviting her readers into the poem to help reflect upon how she feels.
They both explore the theme of love or rather painful love. the poet revels the link between the two poems’s through a verity of techniques which is done very effectively but also shows the difference between the obsessive love in “Havisham” and the possessive love of “Valentine”. The pain of love is evident from the beginning in both poems. “Carol Ann Duffy” uses the tone in the first couple of stanzas to show the unorthodox nature of the love. “Not a day since then I haven’t whished him dead”-Havisham This is very effective as the aggressive tone shows “Havisham” has been rejected and her love is causing her pain.
In doing so he borrowed from the Christian ethics to draw his theory. He said that the religious experience even though it was not something that one could see, or open to inquires of our senses; it still could be studied as a phenomenon. He found it interesting that everyone who had described their religious experience with him had stated that it had changed their lives. James said that there is no right or wrong theory of the presence of God, but we as humans all make our own selection of what to believe and what not to believe. He states that someone can easily substitute God or final reality for fairies, if the outcome is the same.
Native Americans believed everyone was the same no individual was better than the other. Puritans believed that God had chosen a numbered of individuals to join him in heaven. According to Deloria, Puritan literature was written plainly to reflect their plain lives, while Native American literature was decorated with colorful expressions, reflecting wilderness life (210). The Puritans, unlike the Native Americans, who lived slow paced lives, tried to glorify God in their every action. Literature reflected the lives of both cultures.
The gravity of this spoken word is demonstrated in the work of Walt Whitman, who is frequently lauded as the all-American advocate of “democratic” poetry or the use of common language to join individual readers and evoke a sympathetic exchange of experiences. The sound devices and rhetorical devices that Whitman employs in his poem, “Hours Continuing Long,” are used specifically to demonstrate, through using common language, the turmoil and suffering the speaker endures after experiencing unrequited love. Although there is no regular meter, identifiable rhyme pattern or specific line length, Whitman employs the use of free verse effectively. In a sense, the lack of organization concerning the metric pattern reflects the speaker’s innermost feelings of disarray and confusion, both of which are emotions often experienced shortly after heartbreak. Grammatically, each line separately is considered a sentence fragment, yet the effect of the incomplete sentences in this poem is beneficial rather than
Nina Phan 01/17/13 Period 2 British imperialism in India had many positive and negative effects on the mother country, Britain, and the colony, India. Many people argued about which effects were more important while some agreed that they were both equal. According to O.P. Austin, the benefits of the British imperialism were building roads, canals, railways, and telegraphs. They would be able to establish schools and newspapers for the people of the colonies.
Many people tried to civilize Huckleberry Finn as they saw necessary. Widow Douglas and Miss Watson tried to conform Huck into a proper young gentlemen. They made him literate, tried to teach him the basis of etiquette, and gave Huck some religious knowledge. No one of this made Huckleberry a relatively happy little boy, and what the two women tried to teach Huck almost all faded away when he did into the river. However, the things that Widow Douglas and Miss Watson tried to instill in Huckleberry Finn was exactly what Mark Twain wanted to point out.
Enlightenment Influences The Enlightenment period brought about a lot of change for life thereafter. The Enlightenment philosophers and writers influenced literature, creative arts, government documents, and much more. Some ideas from the Enlightenment were: the need for a new government structure, with “consent of the people”. Freedoms from oppression, power of democracy were key ideas during the Enlightenment period. Balance of power and natural rights were also ideas birthed during this period.
The year she died, the couple took a brief holiday in Greece and the Aegean; Lewis was fond of walking but not of travel, and this marked his only crossing of the English Channel after 1918.” (156) Lewis’s book A Grief Observed describes his experience of “bereavement in such a raw and personal fashion that Lewis originally released it under the pseudonym N.W. Clerk” (“Lewis, C. S” Facts on File) to keep readers from associating the book with him. However, so many friends “recommended the book to Lewis as a method for dealing with his own grief that he made his authorship public” (“Lewis, C. S” Facts on File). Lewis continued to raise Gresham's two sons after her death. While Douglas Gresham is, like Lewis and his mother, a “Christian, David Gresham turned to the faith into which his mother had been born and became Orthodox Jewish in his beliefs” (“Mere Lewis”
Both believe in one ruler over all, both believe in a good place (heaven) and bad place (hell) after death, and both believe in guidance through spiritual leaders(prophets), to name a few. Another reason I believe Natives practices have not been abandon is because their culture is inextricably linked and connected with Mother Earth. The land, the plants, the animals, and all around contain their culture, spirit, and identity; all working together to create a balance of harmony (Page 68). How can a culture’s spiritual identity gets lost when it is rooted into everything living and non-living? Lastly, spirituality was designed without written rules to be edited and manipulated, without limits and boundaries, without segregation and prejudice.
