What fancied triumph and delight and glory for the later morning when she could make known the secret! It was almost too great for the childish heart to bear.” (Orne 627) Her desire to make the secret known is proof of her desire to please the hunter and be seen as helpful.

She still keeps the image of her face being lit up from the joy and that life is turning around and that her light is over flowing all throughout the sky and even into other people’s faces. She is spreading her joy and hope though out others, trying to make them see the light, trying to help them see that change is coming and prayers are being answered. Phillis says that the monarch of the day I might behold, once again stating that they will rule one day. Because monarch is a form of government, a form of ruling, and she is letting her people know that do not give up, because one day we will be rulers, we will be queens and kings. “And all the mountains tipt with radiant gold, but I reluctant leave the pleasing views” (Wheatley 2).

One may call me crazy for believing in hope and future goodness, but the outcome and success has proved them wrong. My darling, your life is only just beginning and so you are only just beginning to learn the art of breathing and living.
Both poems address the idea of seizing opportunity and living life to its fullest, but from different perspectives – one positive and optimistic, one negative through pessimism. The poems are similar because they both speak of love and seizing opportunity. Herrick’s first stanza begins by stating, “Gather ye rosebuds while ye may/ Old-time is still a-flying” (lines 1-2). What these lines portray is we must seize opportunity as we can because time is always moving and doesn’t slow down for anyone. Through the visual imagery of “gathering rosebuds,” the rosebuds are a symbol for purity and innocence we can draw the conclusion that the speaker is telling the virgins they are innocent and pure, but soon they will bloom and that is when life should be lived to the fullest, for example by having sex, marrying and having a family.
Megan Sullivan Professor Feeley English 102 May 26, 2011 It is amazing what people will do for their loved ones. To have the perseverance to keep pushing on and never give up on the ones that mean the most to them is a crazy feeling.

In the poem, Remember, by Joy Harjo, she talks about a theme that people must cherish life, must reflect on what they have been given and earned, and not take the small things for granted. This is brought about through figurative language, imagery, and sound. Joy Harjo uses figurative language to relay the message of the poem. “Remember the suns birth at dawn.” (Line 4) This personification is saying not to forget how the sun rises. It also means don’t take for granted that you have another day to live and express yourself.
