There are two meanings of the word “temperate”. When it was used for his subject, it means “showing moderation or self restraint.” When it is used to describe summer’s day, the word “temperate” means “having a mild temperatures”. Shakespeare used the word “temperate” to show that the beauty of the woman is far more constant than the weather in summer. In line three and line four, “Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, and summer’s lease hath all too short a date” (Shakespeare 3, 4) Shakespeare used the personification along with a metaphor to show the reader
However in this poem she cannot find a happier memory and recalls a dream instead, “I dreamed once long ago, that we walked among day-bright flowers.” Her use of positive imagery such as the “day-bright flowers” lightens the mood and achieves the same effect of the memories in The Violets, as she stops thinking of death and causes the reader to forget the unhappy nature of the initial memory and be emotionally moved by the warmth of the following memory where she is “secure in my father’s arms.” In her poems The Violets, Father and Child and At Mornington Gwen Harwood demonstrates through her use of memories, her loss of innocence, the love for her parents and how quickly time moves. Her memories also serve to engage the reader and make us feel her sense of happiness, sorrow and
Within the short story "The Painted Door" Ann shows that she experiences feelings of depression, and isolation. Ann's negative mood is apparent through the story and can be seen at any time during the story. Ann's husband is named John and through the story she says many sarcastic and condescending comments, "plenty of wood to keep me warm - what more could a women ask for" (Ross 288). It is clear that Ann is unhappy with John and not satisfied with him. She does not want John to go to his father's house to check on him because she does not want to be left alone in the house when there is a snowstorm is taking place outside.
However, whilst it can be argued that the narrator’s dislike for the “sloven season” is as a result of the affect it has on her mentally, it can also be interpreted to affect her heart, as it is in reference to her “lover” who is “unbalancing the air”. It is suggested that love makes the narrator feel uncomfortable due to her not having full control. The fear of a particular time of day/year is also shown in Hughes’ ‘Wind’ in which night is shown to evoke fear. The narrator describes the woods to be “crashing through the darkness”. The use of onomatopoeia creates shock and fear within the narrator due to the harsh effects the wind is having on the “woods”; this is also evident through the use of “booming”.
The word ‘stab’ used reminds readers of blood and shows how bright that red shirt is compared to pale sky. Second example of imagery is shown in line, “The beach glows grainy under the sun's copper pressure, air the colour of tangerines” (Woman on a Beach, 7). This is an example of figurative imagery. Michaels is making the comparison of the colour of the air to that of the colour of tangerines describing the sunset. Readers are able to visualize the intensity of the sun’s heat with the word, “glow”, because sun’s rays are radiating against the sand and creating a “glow”.
Being honest about ones problem can help with another person misery. Teens and adult tend to feel embarrassed about any medical condition and for that they lean towards lying about how they feel but not Nancy Mair. Nancy Mair, author of “On Being a Cripple,” talked about her experience with having MS and her true feelings about her disabilty. In her essay she points out the pros and cons of the problems that she goes through and how the disease can change some people actions in their everyday life. Mairs even goes as far to say that, “Because I hate being crippled, I sometimes hate myself for being a cripple.
The disrupted focus is intriguing as it creates more creativity to the close-up shot of the Esky. I like this photograph as it reminds me of summer and its fun. Cathleen Tarrawhiti I like this photograph because of how it reminds me of the times playing in fountains in the city. Also because of the
“Oh beautiful” (690). She is now filled with hope. It’s like she is getting out. Apart of her is spreading and growing. She starts shedding her gardening “costume”, gloves, men’s hat, that was covering her up and we begin to see her as pretty.
Poem Comparison Sonnet 18 & Sonnet 73 Sonnet 18 and 73 are similar in a way that they are both metaphors where the life of a person, or the person itself, is being compared to nature. However, they are being compared to different seasons of the year, one as eternal summer, the other one as aging autumn. In Sonnet 18, Shakespeare compares his beloved one to a summer’s day, but is actually showing how much better she is. He says she is “more lovely and more temperate” unlike summer that has its dark, cold and rainy days. His beloved one doesn’t lose her bloom like all the other flowers when faced with “rough winds”.
Erin Lyons Mrs. Boswell ENG 100 October 31, 2010 Why it Makes Sense to be a Summer Person If you are someone who lives in an area that experiences hot summers and cold winters, you probably have a strong opinion on which you prefer. Some people just love the thrill of freezing cold air blowing on their face, icicles forming on the tops of their drain pipes, and cuddling up with a loved on by a fireplace, sipping on hot coco. While many others prefer basking in the bright summer sun, wiggling their toes to feel the microscopic sand particles wedged between every curve, and hanging out by the poolside with a refreshingly cold glass of lemonade. Each of these two seasons have their ups and downs, and every body likes them for different reasons, but during the summer months, it is much easier to maintain a healthy and happy lifestyle. Believe it or not, the changing of seasons can have an effect on your mental health.
