Both titles serve as a strong beginning for the exploration of aspects of the natural world by effectively introducing the reader to the thoughts and feelings of the poets about the theme. The form of each poem is very important to understand as it deepens the readers understanding of aspects of the natural world. Both poets use the form of a dramatic monologue. Duffy’s use of the dramatic monologue is very effective in her exploration. She takes on the persona of a dolphin so the reader gains access to the inner most thoughts and feelings of
Leeza often shows good sides to her that make Reef want to be a better person. Leeza shows how she is open with her feelings witch makes Reef also do the same as appose to his regular self which consists of him living in a shell and not expressing himself. An example of Reef showing his feelings is when on page two-hundred sixty-three the author says “Reef did not look up. He did the only thing he could do. He wept.” This shows how Leeza made Reef open up his emotions during the scene at the rehabilitation center.
The sea was walking the earth with a heavy heal. ‘De’ lake is comin’!’ Tea Cake gasped… ‘It’s comin’ behind us!’ Janie shuddered. ‘Us can’t fly’” (Hurston 162). Hurston makes the reader feel as if they are actually in the book through the use of southern black vernacular and vivid description. Her characters are realistic and the places special, well thought out sentences and speech keep the readers interested.
This is pure genius, because like eels, the different things she is describing flow together, or ‘crawl’. As the audience reads on, they will realize how the story is full of detail. This imagery is shown in the following quoted from the excerpt, “…balls of dew droop from the curved blades of grass.” We now see this image as if we were actually there, picturing the shape and actions of the dew, but also the angle of the grass. When
Behaviour of Fish in an Egyptian Tea Garden IB HL English Literature – Practice Commentary Sibonay Koo Keith Douglas’ poem, “Behaviour of Fish in an Egyptian Tea Garden”, is a brutal yet subtle exposé of the mindless, animalistic nature of society. Through his employment of an extended metaphor in the descriptions of fish beguiled by a white stone, an image that parallels the actions of a woman and her many suitors in a Tea Garden, he depicts and then proceeds to condemn mankind’s values. Vanity, lust, and selfishness are shown to be omnipresent, with both the men and the one woman in the poem displaying these traits; nevertheless, it is the men that are ultimately categorized as the cruder sex and more in the wrong, with the woman suggested to be just another victim of society. Initially, Douglas portrays the woman as mysterious and alluring, but also dual-natured. The poem opens in media res by having a “white stone [drawing] down the fish”.

The loaded dog displays the distinctly visual aspect of short stories very well as it describes what is occurring. An example of distinctly visual language is “rich gold quartz reef” this quote using imagery to shows the visual aspect of what they are searching for. Henry Lawson describes many images and paints them into every reader’s head so they may have some idea of what he is seeing or imagining. He continues to use imagery to get the distinctly visual out to the people by saying “the creek was low, just a chain of muddy water holes,” this showing us the harsh dry land that the Australian outback gives us. He continues to describe the harsh heat and humidity of the Australian Outback “sickly smothering atmosphere of the summer sunrise” with the use of sibilance we get the picture.
The effect of these hallucinations on Miss Drake cause an extreme anxiety and nervousness; at the start of the second stanza, the letter ‘k’ is repeated, this hard alliteration accentuates the jerky, hesitant eye movement as our bird-like character scans the floor for danger, to ‘outwit the brambled plan’ of the floorboards. Write your Poetry of Sylvia Plath'Miss Drake Proceeds to Supper' research paper Miss Drake, “her bird-quick eye cocked askew”, appears like a small bird constantly scanning its surroundings for danger. Miss Drake’s journey to reach to calm atmosphere of the dining room appears fraught with danger, the paranoia conveyed as “she edges with wary edge” through the “perilous needles” which “grain the floorboards and outwit their brambled plan”, Miss Drake is thoroughly examining her surroundings, showing her fear and vulnerability. Miss Drake is “ambushed” and scared by the “bright shards of broken glass”, not sure of
The underlying reasons a character carries out an action are often hidden deep in the words of the poem. The speaker in Elizabeth Bishop's “The Fish” ultimately releases the fish due to her newfound respect towards him. This newfound respect is highlighted by the use of diction and descriptive detail. The use of diction is a key element to reveal the speaker's respect for the fish. The us of the word “tremendous” not only allows the speaker to show the size of the fish, but also help the reader grasp the effect the fish has on the speaker.
As I gazed into the Gate Keepers eyes I felt as if she in gulped my very soul. It was as if I could feel her take some of the very life from my body. The white baboon, the serpent, the gargoyles overseeing the gate way to the other side, the sleeping child in darkness, the gate keepers evil eye are all a part of the Cajun
