How does Hill create atmosphere with her description of Eel Marsh House? Hill creates atmosphere with her description of EMH largely with the descriptions given by Kipps. Because the reader is following Kipps’ descriptions, our opinions of the house and the setting change as his do, thereby involving the reader successfully. Initially, the house is a safe place for Kipps, and a place where he feels much better than in the ‘oppressive fog’ of London; his first description of EMH is ‘gaunt, but handsome’, which is very optimistic. Hill further builds up a calm atmosphere by expressing Kipps’ admiration of the house, with the quotes ‘I rather liked this lonely spot’ and his description ‘isolated, uncompromising, but also…handsome’.
Both titles serve as a strong beginning for the exploration of aspects of the natural world by effectively introducing the reader to the thoughts and feelings of the poets about the theme. The form of each poem is very important to understand as it deepens the readers understanding of aspects of the natural world. Both poets use the form of a dramatic monologue. Duffy’s use of the dramatic monologue is very effective in her exploration. She takes on the persona of a dolphin so the reader gains access to the inner most thoughts and feelings of
However, after she moves in to the Tanabe’s apartment, she eventually accepts her grief and loss. At this point, Yoshimoto already starts foreshadowing Mikage’s recovery from despair as Tanabe’s apartment is symbolic of hope and happiness. One of the evidence of this can be seen on page 17 from the quote “The entire apartment was filled with light, like a sunroom”. The apartment is described as a place full of light, plants and comfort. The light implies a suggestion of hope, delight, and warmth, while the plant being the symbol of beauty and life.
Poetry Extended Response Question 2 Poetry often appears simple but subtly suggests and implies complex ideas. With reference to at least two poems, discuss the ways in which poetry achieves this. The poems Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein (1974) and The Lamb by William Blake (1789) at first glance, would appear straightforward and simple in nature, seen only to describe the sidewalk and a lamb respectively. However a deeper analysis reveals the more complex ideas of the power of imagination and childhood innocence implied in each text. Where the Sidewalk Ends uses poetic conventions such as metaphors, alliteration and visual imagery to effectively convey its meaning to readers.
The autobiographical nature of the first passage in “Love and Honour and Pity and Pride and Compassion and Sacrifice” introduces the reader to the apparent truth and reality of the story, signalling also what is to be expected in the rest of the collection. Simultaneously, its use of literary techniques in order to illustrate realism to the reader signals that the story is rooted in artifices and the semblance of truth, as is its nature as a work of fiction. M.H. Abrams defines literary realism as “the everyday, the normal, the pragmatic,” and Le utilises this concept in his opening passage to set the tone of the short story and the collection of work. Images such as
To begin, the Garden of Eden, being one of God's most rudimentary creations, can be compared to Simon's peaceful and quiet sanctuary that he often finds himself escaping to because of its luxurious and comforting ambiance. In the novel, when Simon wandered off on his lonesome “he came to a place where more sunshine fell...the creepers had woven a great mat...a bowl of heat and light” (58). Much like the Bible's Garden of Eden, Simon's private place depicts a vibe that ululates with peaceful exuberance and an atmosphere that a sensitive person like him craves the most in times of burden. Next, an element of spiritual sanctification adds to the allusion of the Garden of Eden. In the beginning of the novel, Ralph's looks at the island in a joyful manner and he decides to take a swim in the lagoon with his new and rather plump companion (7).
Sonnet 116 and Even Tho Sonnet 116 is about love, not between a particular couple, but as a concept. The poem explores what is meant by love, and says that, if it is true, love is one of life's constants and it doesn’t change with time or circumstance. Whereas Even Tho explores the sensual side of love and it also captures the idea of carnival. Even Tho says that you should have fun without being overcome or ‘devoured’ it is a slight contrast to Sonnet 116 as Nichols states that important to be individual whereas Sonnet 116 says we should stay together forever. Sonnet 116 uses repeated pairs of words: "love is not love", "alters when it alteration finds" and "remover to remove" this is a mini parallel structure.
He also implies of a life that he seems to find happiness and contentment with. He writes, “In the midst of the heat and slow time the music brought the promise of its origins, a promise of deliverance, a promise that if only for a moment, life could be stirring and dreamy” (17). Rose shows that the little things in life can give people hope and bring a little sunshine on a cloudy day. Rose discusses the hardships that were faced after immigrating to the United States and the positive aspects of finding your own little piece of happiness in the midst of despair. I can relate to both of these on a personal basis.
Personally I related to all the characters in the various responses to the coastal landscapes of Cape Breton. I found that I reflected on my relationship to surfing, and In particular how the sea continues to inform me about who I am, emotionally and psychologically. The father in The Boat lives within an internal landscape of song, poem, and knowledge. While the mother lives comfortably within the physical landscape which is governed by traditional routine. For me, I live within an internal and external world when I go surfing.
In the poem “To Helen” the author used beauty as a form of diction to show his fascination towards the character. In the beginning of the poem the author used the word “beauty” to describe how the speaker saw Helen. The author as well used the word “Psyche” towards the ending of the poem to emphasize Helen’s beauty since “Psyche” means beautiful princess dear to god. The purpose was to emphasize and show the speakers’ admiration and obsession towards Helen. The tone in this poem is peaceful and graceful for when the author says ”Thy Naiad airs have brought me home” signifies that Helen’s beauty is peaceful and gentle and her air can just take him home.
