The acting in this movie was brilliant, and the three main heroes of this story are Ponyboy played by Thomas Howell, Johnny played by Ralph Macchio, and Dally played by Matt Dillon.

Also, the curse placed by the “Wailing Watchman” was lifted not with death, but with joy. As the newly in love couple leap into the “fatal” fire escape the new couple share a very passionate midair kiss. It is beyond me to describe a more well thought out way to lift a curse.

Peeling back the layers of the poem, I was fascinated by the connotative purposes of the poet. As we all know, successful achievement of purposes can’t go without the proper use of poetic techniques. This point is proved in the poem ‘Back to Melbourne’. The use of metaphor makes a great opening of the poem, ‘my week has been/ a blast into the past’. It enables us to feel the poet’s panic of losing self-identity and the strong desire of finding somewhere he belongs.
Besides this, Cyrano is very courageous and an excellent fighter. He is also an amazing musician, poet, and philosopher and these are the things that he is known for.

Poe’s words themselves give the poem its mood. In the beginning, the narrator has hope because he believed that the raven was the one he loved but that hope has turned into anger when the raven kept repeating “Nevermore.” Poe was a master of choosing words that created mood.

The setting, the symbols of the incredible flow of art and the auditory imagery of the melancholy ideas all make up a different level than classical poetry.

Sound Devices in Poetry: William Blake is a poet who wrote the successful peace entitled “The Tyger”. This poem was very well written as it displayed a vast variety of sound devices such as alliteration, repetition and onomatopoeia. These specific devices were used throughout the poem to express the theme creation of good and evil.

In doing so, Blake emphasized the point that God is all mighty, the father of all creation.
