They must write in such a way that helps the man. “The poet’s voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail.” The writing must help him get through life, so to speak. Faulkner believes that this is what any writer’s duty is. In conclusion, Anne Dillard and William Faulkner have their own distinct responsibilities as writers. Dillard believes she must make her writing interesting, if it is dull people won’t read it.

There are many different claims that are being implied within each of these short stories and poem that are related to Knowledge and Individual power. A few that I can pinpoint out specifically would be courage, strength, insight, and clarity. Courage to be who you are and to express what you believe in, no matter what anybody thinks of you. The strength to not be a stereotype and to fight for your success and the success of the younger generations. To fight for your influence on others.
In Wild Oats It explains that a person, over the course of time, comes to realise that his greatest desires of love, are unattainable, and second best things will have to suffice. The central purpose of this poem is to show that love is one of these great desires and despite flashes of promise it contains scarcely anything that is more than fragmentary. Larkin reveals this through tone and diction. Both poets seem to focus a lot on the physical side of love where lust and desire are involved however Abse makes it sound more sensual and even spiritual when he speaks of Eros in his poem. Larkin portrays this sense of objectification in his poem with regards to woman as he describes a woman as a ‘bosomy English rose’ and then follows on to call her ‘beautiful’ throughout the poem portraying the sexual lust involved with love.
Compare how language is used to express an opinion of love in sonnet 116 and another poem (Quickdraw) Shakespeare’s ‘Sonnet 116’ and Carol Ann Duffy’s poem ‘Quickdraw’ both talk about the relationship between two people, however they talk about them in very contrasting ways. Sonnet 116 and Quickdraw are written in different forms. Shakespeare’s poem is written in sonnet form with three quatrains and a rhyming couplet. This regular pattern shows that this is what love should be like and is normal. The use of iambic pentameter also stresses key ideas and words whilst the poem can still flow.
In Robert Pack’s poem, “An Echo Sonnet,” literary devices are used which gives meaning to the poem certainly the most bulging being that of an echoed voice. Throughout the sonnet, the echoes answers to the speaker’s questions serve as a religious meaning speaking to those who ask questions. The speaker begins to ask questions such as “must I master joy or grief?” and other questions that leads the audience/reader to believe that the narrator is confused as to what his purpose in life is. On the other hand, Pack adds the literary technique of an echoed voice that leads the way. By using this device, it seems as though the narrator is representative of most people who are not sure of their reason for life, and the voice is coming from a God-like figure.
The gravity of this spoken word is demonstrated in the work of Walt Whitman, who is frequently lauded as the all-American advocate of “democratic” poetry or the use of common language to join individual readers and evoke a sympathetic exchange of experiences. The sound devices and rhetorical devices that Whitman employs in his poem, “Hours Continuing Long,” are used specifically to demonstrate, through using common language, the turmoil and suffering the speaker endures after experiencing unrequited love. Although there is no regular meter, identifiable rhyme pattern or specific line length, Whitman employs the use of free verse effectively. In a sense, the lack of organization concerning the metric pattern reflects the speaker’s innermost feelings of disarray and confusion, both of which are emotions often experienced shortly after heartbreak. Grammatically, each line separately is considered a sentence fragment, yet the effect of the incomplete sentences in this poem is beneficial rather than
Both poems are rich in material, just waiting to be dug up, interpreted, and reinterpreted again. The poet`s different strategies on the usage of images and emotion, and other poetic devices really project an experience to the reader. My purpose is to, step by step, go through various poetic device, present the similarities and differences, convince you that both have similar roots, but also locate where poetic devices of the poems stem apart – particularly highlighting the effect on the child. Both poem`s overarching themes are of paternal, or family, dysfunction. Interestingly in “American Primitive”, the speaker initially purveys a sense of wonderment and admiration towards the father.
I believe that teaching reading and writing begins with helping children want the life of a reader and writer. In order to accomplish this goal of developing lifelong readers and writers, I believe it is my responsibility to keep learning about proven research-based literacy programs. I believe that even in Tier I literacy instruction the teacher has the responsibility to differentiate instruction so that the vast array of learning styles and abilities present in the classroom will be nurtured. I believe that the most important part of literacy instruction, whether it be reading or writing, is communication. In reading, the communication is accomplished with strong comprehension skills that involve active participation of the reader as he interacts with the author to create meaning for himself.
It has a way of connecting people, despite their nationality, religious beliefs and personal backgrounds. As Samuel Johnson once said, “Poetry is the art of uniting pleasure with truth, by calling imagination to the help of reason.” However, many people will argue that poetry has lost its spark. So, is poetry still as relevant as it once was? Poetry confirms our thoughts and feelings and helps us make sense of the world we live in, but also gives
