Let me count the ways.” (Line 1 Sonnet 43) The use of first person, authenticates that both poems are written for a personal response, this however cannot be seen in ‘Romeo and Juliet’ apart from when the characters speak. The use of alliteration in ‘Sonnet 43’, confirms that the poem was written for Browning’s lover. The repetition of “I love thee...” Shows it’s a personal poem for her true love. However, ‘Valentine’ could be interpreted as an open poem to allow the readers to understand the experiences Duffy has faced. The use of “...we are, for as long as we are.” (Line 16 and 17) Shows that Duffy is inviting her readers into the poem to help reflect upon how she feels.
Havisham & Valentine -Consider two poems by the same poet exploring the same themes. State what the theme is and how the poet revels this. (Pain of love) -You must comment on the effectiveness of these techniques. “Havisham” and “Valentine” are both poems by “Carol Ann Duffy”. They both explore the theme of love or rather painful love.
A Critical Response: “To a Mouse” in Comparison to Of Mice and Men The book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck was derived from a line the poem “To a Mouse” by Robert Burns. Burns’ poem and Steinbeck’s book have many similarities, but they also have differences. One might wonder how a book about two men in the 1930s was derived by a poem about a field mouse whose home had been destroyed. Though that is the apparent summarization of Burns’ poem, it also has a deeper meaning – one that is not as apparent. The poem “To a Mouse” by Robert Burns is obviously about a man talking to a field mouse whose nest he has just destroyed with a plow.
Examine in detail, how Steinbeck uses imagery in his creation of characters and his development of key themes in the novel. Throughout 'Of Mice and Men' the author, John Steinbeck, uses imagery to reflect some of the characters motives and their relationships with one another. Steinbeck uses particular extracts, to relate to the different characters in the book, each of them representing a wide range of people in society at that time. One of the first aspects that Steinbeck uses as a source of symbolism is the title. 'Of Mice and Men' is actually the title of a poem written by the famous Scottish poet and writer of folksongs Robert Burns.
The author also had the characters using the “B” word a lot when they were talking about Curely’s wife and the mother dog. The language also tells you the time period the characters are set in. The last important thing that I chose was repetition. They repeated words and sentences quite a few times; they said them over and over in the book. Lennie said the word “rabbit” because he wanted a pet rabbit and it symbolized him and George getting their own farm.
Some of the poems in the final third of Edmund SpenserAmoretti sonnet sequence display this feature. Some poems by the same author are paired, allowing one character to make a statement in one poem and then allowing another character to reply in an accompanying work. For example, in the poem "Wrapt in my careless cloak," by Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, a dsigruntled man complains about the behavior of women, while in an accompanying poem titled "Girt in my guiltless gown," a woman replies to the man's charges. Of course, another way in which lyric poems can be performative is that they almost demand to be read aloud if one hopes to appreciate all their subtleties of sound and sense. This is less true of novels, and reading an entire novel out loud is therefore not something that most people do (at least not any
In order to emphasise Larkin’s outlooks onto time and it’s passing, one can highlight the similarities and differences between Larkin and Abse’s poetry. In ‘Love Songs In Age’, Larkin illustrates the view that time and it’s passing merely leads to many disappointments. The enjambment he uses amongst all three stanzas, “and stood/relearning” in the first and second and “more/the glare” between the second and third; this implies the suggestion that love cannot stop the passing of time and the instances that happen within it, for example the death of the woman’s husband. During the first stanza, Larkin uses imagery to create a memoir of the music sheets that the woman has found, “one marked in circles”, “and coloured”, suggesting that the joy of life, love and happiness isn’t appreciated until age shows what one has missed during their youth. We can then imply from this suggestion that Larkin feels time is only appreciated during the older years of one’s life.
Death caused by major incidents can leave an individual emotionally afflicted. By this the person has lost a family member such as mother, father, sisters, etc. In some cases even a whole family. In the case of 9/11 many children and teenagers had lost there parents in the incident which left them as orphans and emotionally distressed. 2) Effects on rescue workers A condition known as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can leave a rescue worker physically and mentally ill.
Explore the ways sympathy for and/or dislike of a character is created in the text you have studied.

In the first interaction we have with Curley’s wife. John Steinbeck uses her actions to create dislike for her. For instance, the first action appears in the sentence.
The author chose to use this title because it correlates with his novel based on realism as does the poem “To a Mouse” that contains the “Of Mice and Men” meaning mice and men had same struggles during the Great Depression. There are many characters facing problems of realism in the novel. One character depicting realism is Crooks. Another character dealing with real life struggles is George. The final character also dealing with real life struggles is Lennie.
