These symbols throughout the story include the old mans eye, the heartbeat and the contradiction between love and hate in which I will be talking about in this paper. When reading Edgar Allan Poe’s, “The Tell-Tale Heart”, it is more easily understood as a figurative text rather than a literal text. A literal reading of this story would make it very difficult to understand the details. By taking this story literally it is not easy to understand the entire meaning and representation of the story. In the beginning of the story, the narrator describes the old man’s eye.
Christian Biggers Beginning Again The “Beginning Again” is a free verse poem. This poem has a lot of great symbolism in it and is really deep. It’s not written for a child’s mind, one could say, but rather an intellectual’s. I liked this poem because it forces you to think, the reader has to read closely to find out what Franz Wright is really saying. The first line of the poem, “’If I could stop talking, completely cease talking for a year, I might begin to get well’”, tells us that Franz most likely gets in trouble with his mouth a lot.
Forge, (interpreted as a verb and/or a noun) suggests that it is the act of completing a task or belonging to a sense of place. Whereas, The Forge is a combination of a definite article with that of a common noun. Also, these poems could also be both the poets answer as to why they are deciding to forge an identity as an Irish poet. The structures of these poems are extremely different, Montague divides his poem into five tercets whilst Heaney structures his into 14 lines: a sonnet, alas, it should be noted that this is not immediately recognisable because he does not follow the typical rhyme sequence a sonnet usually has. The Forge, is split into an octave and a sestet.

This man was metaphorically out of his depth. The second factor to consider in this poem is the methods that the author used. Throughout the poem, the narration shifts between first and third person, almost like a conversation between the living and the dead. In the first stanza, Smith uses a colon to switch the point of narration. “But still he lay moaning: I was much further out than you thought.” this also repeats in the last
The speaker uses different techniques in order to make sure the certain points are emphasized. For example, though the meter of the poem is iambic pentameter, some lines do not fit into that category as well as they should. This connects with the fact that though the speaker tries to “make thee even feet” (15), she cannot fix the meter, and even once she is done, it is still “more hobbling than is meet” (16). In other words, the poem is now worse than before. The whole poem consists of 12 heroic couplets; however, in lines 19-22 the rhyme is imperfect.
Analyzing “Introduction to Poetry” “Introduction to Poetry” by Billy Collins is a poem that seeks to teach a reader to listen to a poem for all its beauty and not to tear it apart. Poetry is a beautiful form of art that is not always easily understood by most concrete thinkers. Like a painting with different textures and colors and details, poetry is an expression of art that is set to a rhythm. It is created to illicit memories or feelings or images that not all people share.

He was mystified by the clash between realities of society and destiny of God. After knowing where Milton is coming from and what state of mind he was probably in, one can finally know what types of literary devices he used to fully incorporate and portray his ideas. One of the literary devices Milton used in his poem is diction. One of the most common way a poet incorporates diction is highlighting and repeating one word. In this case, it is the word “forbid” as it is showed in lines 752-758.
The Growing up of John Donne in his Love Poetry “Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime, nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time” is a quote from John Donne which talks about how love defies time however he did not always have such an optimistic view of love. John Donne was a writer in the 1700s’ who used the theme of love in quite a few of his poems. Donne can be a pessimistic poet, which often creates misunderstandings in both the theme of love and how the poem is written. Since love is so unclear and there is nothing definite about love, it makes it difficult to write about and often misunderstood says R.V. Young (251).
