Keats’ poem is one extensive run-on sentence that truly “runs” across the page. It entails a great deal of information in a very short work. Because lines are jammed into one another, the reader is given a sense of abruptness. The lack of punctuation at the end of each line causes the poem to emanate a rushed, nervous and hurried tone. The narrator explains in the first line that he “may cease to be” and rushes to include he is afraid to die “before [his] pen has glean’d [his] teeming brain”.
Disabled and Mental Cases Both 'Mental Cases' and 'Disabled' are anti-war poems evoking powerful and sometimes shocking emotions. Owen shows a less pleasant side to 'The Great War' in his typical fashion. 'Disabled' paints a vivid picture of a young man's misfortune and shows the contrast between his old life - full of hope - and his new life, in which he has no hope. 'Mental Cases', on the other hand, outlines the mental effects of the war, with strikingly realistic images. The title of the poem itself distinguishes its main character from a normal person.
In On His Blindness, many interpretations focus on the negative mood and resentful tone of the poem surrounding the author’s blindness. According to one interpretation, Milton’s blindness limited his ability to write poetry because, “there was no way for a blind man to put words to paper” (Answers.com). Although these interpretations highlight the dark side of these poems, it’s clear that the authors were presenting a self-revelation about choice. The self-revelation about choice occurs as the main character is presented with choices. The first line of each poem uses a first person format.
This is a significant turning point in the narrative, as afterwards, the boy loses control of the saw, which ends up hitting his hand. Another example would be when the boy was keeping “The life from spilling. Then the boy saw all” which signifies that he is finally realising that his future is bleak, and because he was forced to be more mature and do an adult’s job, he realises that he will never be able to have a childhood. The last part of “Out, Out” reveals the unimportance of child workers such as the boy. When they listen to his heartbeat, there was “Little-less-nothing!
The title almost seems to drag out the letters of the word, contrasting against the rest of the poem, which due to the rich enjambment, results in a more broken and muddled effect. In the first stanza, Mr Bleaney’s weakness is portrayed well with the phrase ‘they moved him’, suggesting his lack of power and need for aid, which differs from the common idea of masculinity. The line ‘thin and frayed’ uses an everyday object, as it refers to the curtains, to connote Mr Bleaney himself in an equally weak way. In the third stanza, the line ‘no room for books or bags’ could suggest Mr Bleaney’s lack of social skill or education, symbolising his limitations in life and portraying him as weak once again. In stanza’s four and five, the idea of cyclical routine helps to reflect his sedentary life, displayed with the line ‘I know his habits- What time he came down/His preference for sauce to gravy’ in stanza four.
The persona does not use any inclusive language in the poem, the persona appears to be alone the entire time, even when speaking of playing games such as "chasings". The personas use of dark imagery also reflects their sense of entrapment within the school and that he doesn't belong to or understand the school values and that he will be free to "let [his] light shine" when he leaves school. Much like the poem, St Patrick's college, skrzynecki's poem 10 Mary Street focuses on the personas relationship with certain locations and buildings. The poem demonstrates how an individuals interaction with with the world around them can deepen and enrich their understanding and experience of belonging. In the poem, the house is described as a member of the family and gives the characters and persona a place of refuge and belonging.
MIGRANT HOSTEL A tone of instability and insecurity is set within the first stanza where the accumulation of the nouns “comings and goings”, “arrivals” and “sudden departures” suggests a sense of chaos and highlights the lack of stability within the poet's life. The use of enjambment of “wondering/ who would be coming next” allows the emphasis to fall heavily on “who”, illustrating the transient nature of the hostel environment and putting emphasis on the uncertainty of who is to arrive next. This constant change becomes unsettling and prevents the poet from finding a place of belonging and further hindering his self-identity, leaving him lost and confused. The physical and emotional divisions set up by different nationalities is further
The poem deals with the complexities of belonging and the daily struggles of assimilating. The opening line, “No one kept count” shows the reader that the persona and his family are in a negative situation. The emphasis on the ‘no’ highlights the personas tone which is also negative and the lack of order within the hostel. “We lived like birds of passage”, is an example of a pronoun to show that the migrants tried to unite and feel a sense of belonging within another but failed as the persona still feels a sense of not belonging. Pronouns are used throughout the poem to make the reader connect with the persona.
Even forcing changes to inheritance and the will. -Institutional abuse The failure to provide appropriate and individual services to vulnerable people. Lack of stimulation, no flexibility, restriction and inappropriate use of rules custom and practice. -Self neglect This is a behavioural condition when the individual chooses to neglect their basic needs. This could be choosing not to wash, not eating correctly if at all, or even tending to medical needs.
Shakespeare’s Othello presents us with a tragedy that highlights the concept of not belonging and being an outsider. Individuals within the text hold certain attributes and behaviours which isolate them from society. Iago is an example of an individual that does not want and does not intend on belonging with the Society. The fact that Iago never becomes close to the other characters and instead uses them to assist his plan in destroying Othello, shows his lack of involvement and elevated sense of superiority. Iago’s separation from Society allows him to manipulate and deceive
