Figuratively, the author is laying out the foundation of his poem with two different instances, his foe and his friend. In my opinion, I see the author explaining that out of the two individuals the friend would be forgiven for what he or she had done and his wrath would be ended. In that sentence the author informs the reader of a common human fact, that if you have a friend then there is no need to relish over it, rather move on. The foe, on the other hand, will not be so lucky. The author explains when he was angry he told his anger not, which resulted in it to be feed negativity.
Katrina discusses the lack of control that we have in life and that death is simply another part of life that we must accept. Enter Without So Much As Knocking talks about how we take life for granted and we waste the time we have. All of the poems hold aspects of Futility, Life, Pain, Purpose, Anger and Disapproval these are the most likely things to make people rethink their position and how they behave towards others. The use of imagery both visual and aural is a powerful tool used masterfully by Dawe to get his messages across. Normally someone’s homecoming is cause for a celebration, but in Dawe’s poem, Homecoming Dawe uses this in an ironic sense.
Another reason for keeping his feelings and thoughts is because a “sorrowful mind do any good” (16). But here we can find a contradiction: he is not keeping anything, but saying it all. The sadness expressions since the very beginning with the image of winter, which is nothing but death itself, make the reader question what is the point of this poem, introducing a possible curiosity that maintains the reader reading. After this, we approach to a more specific situation of the wanderer. The real reason of his sadness is the lost of his lord.
John Keats writes “What I have fears that I may have cease to be,” as a vehicle to express his concerns that encompass both time and death. Keats structures his poem as two major thoughts. He not only expresses his fear of dying before he can fulfill himself as a writer, but losing his love. Though Keats’ emphasizes his greatest fear of death, he offers his own resolution by asserting that love and fame lacks any importance. In the first four lines, Keats’ concern with the passing of time is indicated by the repetition of “when” at the beginning of each quatrain.
Because it causes him to leave Lucasta, it acts as a mistress in that sense. The rhyme scheme of this poem is abab cded fgfg. Though not seen throughout, alliteration is used with Foe/ Field and also Sword/ Shield. The poem utilizes mainly ending consonance. The tone I feel in the poem is apologetic and chivalrous but determined.
Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton “What I see is him that suffers most” was my initial thought toward Ethan’s life in the end. Edith Wharton’s ending of the novel filled my heart with such sorrow and compassion to Ethan’s situation. Wharton throughout the novel made subtle actions toward Ethan and his torn feeling to stay with his wife and his attraction toward his sister in law, Mattie Silver. I sympathize with Ethan Frome to an extent to the point in which I actually think his actions throughout the novel seemed like the right thing to do but, I feel little compassion toward him for he was the one to propose to Zeena without thinking of the consequences toward either him or Zeena. First of all, Wharton’s subtle action toward Ethan’s torn feelings for Mattie and being loyal to his wife.
Lennie expecting and eager for George to give him more hell does not get the answer he expects because George knows that he is about to end Lennies life. He wants to end Lennie’s life on a better not. The repetition of that phrase especially using that word enhances the mood of this scene because it creates the uneasy scary feeling that Steinbeck wants you to feel. Throughout the duration of this book its author John Steinbeck used dictation and repetition of phrases to enhance the mood of his novel. This book conveys a mood of sadness and hope at the same time; towards the end it conveys a fearful mood as Lennies life came to an end.
However, as the poem progresses, Whitman’s character proves that he wishes to experience things for himself. These quotes further my conclusion. “Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself,” and, “Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.” (Whitman) He has also shown that he enjoys peace, as seen in this quote, “In the mystical moist night air, and from time to time, Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.” (Whitman) In a way, this character seems to be bored with the traditional way of learning. When he “was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them,” he “became tired and sick.” (Whitman) Then he “wander’d off” by himself “in the mystical moist night air” where he “look’d
And ‘Do I dare?’, Time to turn back and descend the stair, with a bald spot in the middle of my hair”.The poem starts out with verses of “what not to do with your love”, yet he fails to express the person he has feelings for but also fails to recognize himself in all this. He continues on arguing to go to a certain gathering, busy worrying about what other people are going to think about him, and judge him for. This is how the story and character start out, introducing into his compassionate love, but so insecure about himself. Further into the poem, Prufrock seems to get into the party and tends to describe it in a lot of general details, by the end of the party he simply judges himself for all his actions known that night. (70) “I should have been a pair of ragged claws, scuttling across the floors of silent seas”.
Ernest Hemingway, in his famous novel A Farewell to Arms, exhibits his unique yet simplistic style of writing, for which he is known. In the chapter 32 passage of the book, he uses the signature technique to reveal the narrator's feelings of loneliness and helplessness as he feels that his decision to leave the army is irrevocable. Using words with negative connotations, such as “wet,” “cold,” “hungry,” “lonesome,” and “hard,” the author sets a tone of pessimism and defeat. Henry's description of himself and his surroundings creates a feeling of pathetic hopelessness. The narrative begins with long, flowing sentences but is contradicted by the simplicity and abruptness towards the end.
