The poetic techniques employed by Harwood effectively communicate distinctive aspects of her themes while allowing them to remain universal.

By analysing the two poems and their complex structures, the reader discovers a similarity on the subject, of spiritual journeys, however a difference in the context of the journey. The difference of representation in each subject is conveyed in different styles and voices, leading to differences and similarities within the style of each poem. The first poem, (Ione, Dead The Long Year), written by Ezra Pound, is composed in a way where the poem portrays the thoughts of the character – the reader receives a ‘head-on’ perspective of the character, thus evoking deep emotion within.

Dona Evarista is seen taking delight over her husband's glory, covered herself with silks, jewels and flowers. Everyone in the area came to see her for more than two times. People not only paid court to her but praised her, for — and this fact does great honor to the society of the time. I find that complexity and ambiguity are the major characteristics of Onetti's story and he is not very much to arriving at the truth of a situation than in isolating its components and its alternatives which are very likely to bring about falsehood as facts. But Allende is a psychological realist, and she recognizes realism and the need for the oxygen of romance in the routine of human existence.

A poet uses imagery to communicate vividly. - In using imagery, the poet often compares something less known or something that cannot easily be expressed, to another thing or experience better known to us. When you are writing about imagery in your critical analysis of a poem, it is not enough to say what is being compared to what.
