In this stanza he uses the words flame and name, which goes along with the irregular rhyme scheme that happens throughout the poem. In the last stanza, the speaker states “Don’t believe me, please if I say/ that was just my butterfingered way, at thirteen, of asking you if you would marry me.” This part of the poem would elicit skeptical emotions from the reader, as they would not know whether to believe if the speaker is legitimately remorseful. The poet also uses alliteration in that stanza when he says “marry me”, and from its demeanour, it evokes forgiveness from the reader because he wants to let the reader know that he was immature in expressing his love. The alliteration provides
English 1010 The two poems “The New Colossus” and “The Unguarded Gates” are considerably the same in that they are explaining how immigrants are coming to the “enchanted” land. But as Emma Lazarus writes “sunset gates shall stand”, Thomas Bailey Aldrich writes “ is it well to leave the gates unguarded” exclaiming how he is weary of letting immigrants trample over the land he considers pure. Thomas Bailey Aldrich’s poem “The Unguarded Gates” gives off that he is a white supremacy. In the second stanza he says “Oh liberty white goddess, is it well to leave the gates unguarded?” worrying that immigration will only bring “unknown rites and gods” into his pure land. To me this sounds as if the land he is used to is only of white people set in their own ways and he doesn’t want poor and non-whites in to “trample” on their customs.
“...he was consumed with wonder at her presence… he was running down like an over-wound clock” (92) Gatsby’s love for Daisy was succorded by his deception of her image. This quote compares Gatsby to an overwound clock because Gatsby wants to ignore the lapse of time where they were separated and wants to have it revert back to when they loved each other in Louisville. Once Gatsby realized he had succeeded in acquiring his dream of Daisy’s affection, he no longer had the vitality of his allusion for what life could be with
I think he realizes that his presumptuous little flirtation is over.” * This quote emphasizes how the upper crust 1920’s society of NY has substituted materialism with spirituality (or I guess you could say they could worship money..). Tom easily forgives Daisy for her infidelity because he doesn’t care about her or his marriage, he simply cares about the illusion of a marriage they put up together. In contrast to this, Gatsby cannot forgive Daisy for loving Tom rather than him because he wants their love to be flawless, the way he sees it in his dream – the American Dream. Chapter 8 #1 - “I jumped out of bed and began to dress-I felt that I had something to tell him, something to warn him about and morning would be too
When Gatsby attempts to regain the past by persuading Daisy to tell Tom she doesn't love him, Tom destroys Gatsby's dream. By having the more recent past, Tom reminds Daisy of the good times they have had together and causes her to no longer think of leaving him. He also has knowledge of Gatsby's illegal dealings, something that he knows will upset Daisy, and he knows will strengthen his cause against Gatsby. 'The Great Gatsby' is effectively based on the past, and memories. In the last page of the novel, Nick contemplates human nature, and we learn a little of why Fitzgerald has written the book in this way, and why, in his opinion, we struggle so in life.
Marco Munoz Mr. Marquez English 11 Per. 2 5/4/13 The Great Gatsby Most of the characters in the novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald put on fake mask in order to hide their imperfection. In this novel James Gatz creates a new persona for himself known as Jay Gatsby in order to start a new better life and be someone special or someone who will be remembered. Daisy who was once with Gatsby before he left out to war in World War 1, has a huge desire for perfection which leads to conflict between Gastby and her husband Tom. Everything that Gastby does is for the same reason, to have Daisy back.
“Respect should be something earned and not demanded.” How do the writers of “Mice and Men” and “An Inspector Calls” explore this idea through their presentation of characters? At the beginning of the play, Priestley makes it clear that Birling is a show-off and thinks he is superior with his stage directions and his first spoken lines. Birling is described as PORTENTOUS, PORT Even Mrs Birling, his wife reveals that he is trying too hard to be upper class, something that you are born into rather than can buy. When Birling says” Tell the cook from me”, Mrs Birling’s reply is “Arthur, you’re not supposed to say such things”. The phrase ‘not supposed to’ really links to the idea that in 1914, there are things that are expected of the Lower, Middle and Upper classes and you can’t build your way up to the higher class you have to be born into it .
Even though they don’t actually harm Macbeth, they trick Macbeth and say possible predictions of his future, the witches start out by saying that Fair is foul, and foul is fair (act I, i) with this telling us that everything is apparent fair game to get whatever you want. When they talk to Macbeth they make him think and eventually make him try to become king and kill Duncan even though they never said how he is going to become king. The witches tell Macbeth that he will become the thane of Cawdor and then king of Scotland and thou shalt be king here after (Act I, iii). They pretty much poison his good clear mind with these prophesies, which in reality are making him greedy and bringing out the evil that is in everyone’s soul. When the first of the promises is proven true, Macbeth also is thinking what the witches told Banquo which was that “Thou shalt get kings, though thou be none” (act I, iii).
In the poem, she recalled his fingers and the way they had removed around over face. In the poem, she talked about what she had felt at the time, about what she went through her mind when the blind man touched her nose and lips. I can remember I didn’t think much of the poem. Of course, I didn’t tell her that. (78) The manner in which the narrator described each detail about the poem implies his discontent with the idea of his wife’s proximity to another man.
