Munoz, Anthony Mrs. Bargaineer English III 6 March 2011 Nikki Giovanni established herself as a writer who can entertain and challenge, inform and inspire. She has made an impact on writing today through her unrelenting passion and devotion to literature and poetry. One of her most famous books that she has written would be "Bicycles: Nikki Giovanni Collection". Through this book, she writes about love and life; her use of emotion, truth, erotic imagery, and literary devices all come together into one single masterpiece. Lets dig deeper into those little things that make her one of the most profound poets in American Literature.
The natural world provokes many different feelings for Plath, which can be explored in many of her poems. ‘The Hermit at Outermost House’ is a description of a hermit and its experiences living by the sea. In this poem, there is perhaps a stronger sense of hope rather than negativity about the sea, it suggests that the power and ferocity of the sea can be conquered. Plath uses positive imagery to convey this. An example of this is when the poet writes, “Backbone unbendable as Timbers of his upright hut?” This line is effective because it emphasises just how adaptable this hermit is.
What Hambling is trying to achieve within her paintings is the intense, powerful moment when a wave comes crashing down. She is also trying to create the sense of sound in the paintings, the sound of the sea when the waves are being thrashed about, Hambling states that ‘it laughs, it cries and it also has angry outbursts.’[1] That is what she is trying to capture, the emotions of the sea. So overall ‘movement’ is what Hambling list as a key essential element to her artworks. The subject matter that Hambling is trying to put across is about ‘Time’ and how that the sea is like life. It comes to us and then it goes quicker than you think, and how that when the tide comes in it erodes the land much like us getting older.
Children of the Sea Edwidge Denticat They say behind the mountains are more mountains. Now I know it's true. I also know there are timeless waters, endless seas, and lots of people in this world whose names don't matter to anyone but themselves. I look up at the sky and I see you there. I see you crying like a crushed snail, the way you cried when I helped you pull out your first loose tooth.
Kate Chopin's The Awakening is a literary work full of symbolism. Sea, Birds, clothes, houses and other narrative elements are powerful symbols which add meaning to the novel and to the characters. I will analyze the most relevant symbols presented in Chopin's literary work. SEA The voice of the sea is seductive; never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander for a spell in abysses of solitude; to lose itself in mazes of inward contemplation. The voice of the sea speaks to the soul.

Poets through the ages have been esteemed as possessing the ability to perceive the ordinary in extraordinary and innovative ways. Poetry captures the essences of human emotion and experience and imbues them with further significance by the literary techniques that typify poetry as the language of art. In her poetry, Gwen Harwood explores many thematic concerns that resonate with her readers regardless of their contexts. The universality of concepts such as memory, inspiration, childhood education and the cyclical, yet final nature of death are transformed by Harwood’s poetry to create fresh perceptions of the continuity of experience and provide permanence to these transient elements of humanity through language. The poetic techniques employed by Harwood effectively communicate distinctive aspects of her themes while allowing them to remain universal.

There are many similarities seen throughout the novel and poem, but these are the biggest eye openers. “I looked upon the rotting sea, and drew my eyes away” (Coleridge, 2009, p.699). This shows Coleridge using direct characterization to show what the sea looks like from
I watched helplessly as the king’s ship and crew, along with a dozen others, sailed off into the seemingly-everlasting sea. Slowly, I paced back to the castle, hearing all sorts of whisperings about Penelope and Odysseus from common goers. Already, agony had started to dwell inside my heart and mind, longing for Odysseus’ return. Arriving home, I heard the cry of an infant; our son, yet to be named. After a few days of pondering, I settled upon Telemachus, meaning ‘far-away
