They both explore the theme of love or rather painful love. the poet revels the link between the two poems’s through a verity of techniques which is done very effectively but also shows the difference between the obsessive love in “Havisham” and the possessive love of “Valentine”. The pain of love is evident from the beginning in both poems. “Carol Ann Duffy” uses the tone in the first couple of stanzas to show the unorthodox nature of the love. “Not a day since then I haven’t whished him dead”-Havisham This is very effective as the aggressive tone shows “Havisham” has been rejected and her love is causing her pain.
Comparative essay of “One Art” by Elizabeth Bishop and “Tears, Idle Tears” by Alfred “One Art” by Elizabeth Bishop and “Tears, Idle Tears” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson are both poems which present the subject of loss. In “One Art”, Bishop hold the optimistic view that loss is normal, common, and can be overcome-though she is unsure at the end and presents an element of self denial. In “Tears, Idle Tears”, Tennyson presents true loss whose meaning is so deep he cannot quite fathom, and yet Tennyson presents a different view in that he does not try to resist the loss. “One Art” is a Villanelle by Elizabeth Bishop in which the poet tries to convince herself that loss is a normal process. She denies the seriousness of loss and the sadness it brings by highlighting the commoness of loss and depicting its nature not as a process but as an “art”, evading its disastrous nature.

Charley was climbing over dead bodies to get to the rebels. Charley was hiding behind his friends; unfortunately both of his friends get shot. Charley was standing in the middle of the hill jabbing people and screaming until he gets shot. Charley does survive from his wounds but dies later on during the book Narrative Structure: A major theme in Soldier's Heart is the horror of war, and how war changes a person. The author uses events that really happened in the Civil War to bring home the brutality of war--the building of a wall with dead bodies, young men shot in the stomach being left to die, horses being killed to feed starving men.
By personifying the sobs as “strangled”, the author is describing the magnitude of the sobs and screams. Humbaba was screaming as loud as he could, and pleading for his life. But the pity we feel doesn’t last long because Ekidu tells Gilgamesh Humbaba is deceiving him, and he has to die. Also the Cyclops from The Odyssey is depicted with certain human aspects to him. “When all these chores were done, he poked the fire” (195).
At the end, Dante comes to the final circle of hell to see Satan’s three heads perpetually chewing on Brutus, Cassius, and Judas, the three great traitors. The relevance of Dante’s Inferno to society can be seen in the first Canto. “Midway in our life’s journey, I went astray from the straight road and woke to find myself alone in a dark wood” (Alighieri, 194). This represents those who go astray in life, who have fallen into temptation, committed sin, and cannot seem to bring them self back to God. Dante describes the dark wood: “Its very memory gives a shape to fear” (Alighieri, 194).
There is a shift in language as the poet removes the phrase 'my son' with the less personal article 'the boy'. Plosive alliteration is used on line 6 and the white and tender skin mentioned relates to innocence and purity. There is a suggestion that two people are involved with the other person being a partner or mum. There is a very regular rhythm to the poem and there is a sense of pain and that can't be completely taken away from the son. Metaphor is used to emphasise his devastation and up until this point, the nettles have been presented like they are an army themselves.

Jimmy Cross understood this. You could blame war… A moment of carelessness or bad judgment or plain stupidity carried consequences lasted forever” (O’Brien 115). He tries blaming the death of Kiowa on the war, rain, God and concludes while the blame is some way universal, it is also intensely personal. Cross is the one who chose to camp out in the sewage fields despite the warnings of drowning in the field.

It tells of the horrors that the innocent men, women and children went through at the expense of Americans soldiers. Another poem, “Truth Blazes Even in Little Children’s Hearts” by Huy Can, a Vietnamese native, reflected on Beideler’s poem. Can wrote, “America, America! Don’t you hear the screams Of those thousands of children Consumed by the golden fire? Golden fire of napalm Golden fire of dollars Which eats the flesh Like a cancer.” Can was getting his point across by using guilt.
