    Flames and Dangling Wire - Robert Gray

    The idea of a fog like shield is used to show that the increase production of waste is hiding us from the true reality of our actions. The smoke is seen to be unceasing and never ending which is in contrast to the world which is unsustainable and fragile. Gray tries to show the human attitude which is also portrayed through the mouse clicking on the ignore button which depicts that we choose to ignore the consequences The smoke in the line “Now the distant buildings are stencilled d in the smoke” acts as a barrier between us and the harsh actuality of our world. The technique of stencilling and only seeing the rough outline is symbolic of our impassiveness to the fine implications of our actions, just concerned about the immediate gains for ourselves. Not seeing the full picture is represented in the image of a book with words carved out of it…

    Religious Imagery in "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall"

    In the Christian religion, clouds, fog, and smoke usually symbolize confusion or the unknown. The first time Granny Weatherall uses this type of imagery is when she recalls walking by the creek. The narrator says, "A fog rose over the valley, she saw it marching across the creek swallowing the trees and moving up the hill like an army of ghosts" (Porter 537). This sentence creates an eerie feeling by using dark words such as swallowing and ghosts. Granny uses this imagery again while remembering the devastating experience of being left at the alter by her fiancé. A flurry of black fume emerged and enclosed it, crawled up and above into the vivid meadow where everything was planted so cautiously in organized rows. That was misery; she knew misery when she saw it. For years she had prayed against recollection of him and in opposition to losing her spirit in the bottomless hollow of hell, and now the two things were combined in one and the notion of him was a foggy blur from hell that crawled in her head when she had just got free of Doctor Harry and was attempting to relax a moment (538). The idea of smoke and dark clouds again gives off a negative vibe and emphasizes the pain and embarrassment Granny suffered on her would-be wedding day.…

    Fahrenheit 451 Themes

    In the poem he continually discusses that death is rage, a curse, etc. These inevitable fears are first introduced in the first stanza when he states, “Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” This first stanza opens with saying one should not give into death, and when it comes, it should come with a full life. These ideas are featured once again in the last stanza. The author reveals the true purpose about the poem in this stanza, stating, “And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” In this stanza he is saying that he believes his father should fight, and that he does not care what his father has to do to fight. Giving up the fight is like being a lawn mower in a field of gardeners, in the end those who fight have a greater…

    Explication of “Dulce Et Decorum Est” by: Wilfred Owen

    In the first stanza, the first two lines of the poem are, “Bent double, like old beggars under sacks/Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge”. This represents the men bent over carrying their belongings through the mud. They are being compared to as old beggars & hags, (miserable ugly old women). However, these men were young. In the third and forth lines, “Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs/And towards our distant rest began to trudge”, represents the tired soldiers heading back to camp. In the fifth and six lines, “Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots/But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;” this shows how tired the men were as if they were marching in their sleep. Many have lost their boots and their feet are bleeding. In the seventh and eighth line, “Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots/Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind.” This shows that the soldiers are so tired and can’t get away from the explosives that are falling behind them.…

    If We Must Die Let It Not Be Like Hog Rhetorical Analysis

    The author establishes a clear and concise central idea of have an honorable death when knowing your going to die. In the poem, the author mentioned, "If we must die-let it not be like hogs/ Hunted and penned.." (lines 1-2), with this statement, it displays how hogs are helpless and can not defend themselves when being hunted and/or penned and that is not how one would like to die, like a hog. Instead, the author insists that if people must die knowingly, "let us nobly die/ So our precious blood may not be shed/ In vain" (lines 5-7). Therefore, the author believes that people should be "fighting back" (line 14) instead of dying like hogs.…

    Everyman Research

    During the opening of the play, God called upon the Messenger and Death to alert Everyman that the time of reckoning had come. The author wants readers to pay close attention. God complains about how every man have become immersed in material things in life than follow him. He feels taken advantage of; because he receives no gratitude for all that he has given them. God chose to use death to call upon the character Death to do anything associated with the kingdom. The author seems to portray that God is good and Death is bad. God and Death are teamed up to show the struggle between the two. God uses Everyman to express what he wants and when he wants it. Like any good coach God summons Death up and lay out the game plan for his upcoming mission. The author showed the importance of God explaining his actions to Death so death would not claim victory over no man’s life. God expressed to Death that He alone was the only giver and taker of life. In other words, God was tired of Everyman’s disobedience. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3.16). Everyman did not show God enough respect. Everyman demonstrated lust after things of the world, placed stuff before the love of his fellow man, let his pride take him down, held on to grudges, not willing to forgive, envious of his brother, and just plain mean for no reason at all. God is feed up with the way…

    One by Metallica

    He doesn’t know if he is dreaming or it is real. Unfortunately the war has taken so much from him. He doesn’t think he has a soul anymore and all he feels is pain. He wishes for death and begs for god to help. “Hold my breath as I wish for death” (L.9). He is trapped inside himself and he can’t even die. The song is about war or the results of war which is really universal. There are so many wars that have happened and that are even happening now. The reader or listener should be able to relate to this because everyone now a day’s knows someone in war or who has been in war.…

    Thanatopsis Essay

    By comparing joyful tones to death is difficult to understand, by comparing them to things that have similar meanings which makes it more understandable. “Take note of thy departure? All that breathe will share thy destiny”. By comparing him dying and using a comparison to the other it also shows his meaning of the work. That no matter what, no matter what breath you take, you will end up in the same boat. Once again comparing and showing the meaning of the work throughout each quote in the poem. This quote most importantly proves his meaning, by comparing the people who don't understand death as a timeless thing and as something that shouldn't be spoken of until it happens. This interrupts the meaning of how death is a concept that is terrifying. “The speechless babe, and the gray-headed man man- -Shall one by one be gathered to thy side, By those, who in their turn, shall follow them”. Once again continuing the process of which the author continues to use and compare the people who never thought about death in this way, to believe him and what he preaches. As spoken in the quote before this has a more unique meaning to what he compares death too. Going strait to the point in which people all are going to end up in the same…

    William Carlos Williams This Is Just To Say

    The speaker in this poem describes a terrible experience, while at war. The speaker is one of the men in the platoon. He describes them as all being exhausted. Then he says that the air is overtaken by a poison gas, and then there was yelling and stumbling around like a man on fire. “Dim, through the misty and think green light, as under a green sea, I saw him drowning,” he is describing to us watching through the lens of his mask, watching as a man dies from the poisonous gas, as if he was drowning. The speaker then says if you had seen this and then dreamed about, this is not something you would want to share with children. “The old lie: Dulce ET Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori,” meaning “It is sweet and Honorable, to die for one’s country.” I thought this was a very sad poem but I like the visual imagery that it used, it helped me see and feel what he was going through.…

    Anomiic Suicide

    According to a research study produced by Yale University, bullying victims are two to nine times more likely, to consider suicide than non-bullied victims; resulting in suicide being the third leading cause of death among adolescents (Bulling & Suicide, 2015). Teenagers within Anoka-Hennepin school district were segregated from the collective school body in essence. Collectively, students, staff, teachers, and other faculty members were coerced to make “homosexuals” feel as if they did not belong. Students were allowed to physically as well as, emotionally abuse other students. These students were seen as non-conforming individuals whom voided societal norms. Through this essay and the works of Emile Durkheim,…

    Mood Of The Poem Fog

    In each line, certain words and phrases portray what is going on in the development of “Fog.” In the first line, the word “comes” in “The fog comes” highlights what is happening with the fog and is a great example of imagery within the poem (Sandburg, 1). In the second line of the couplet, “little cat feet” is a phrase that causes the reader to conjure up an image of a cat-fog that moves around silently (Sandburg, 2). In the second stanza the ideas change; instead of the fog entering the harbor city, it is exiting. In the third line the word “sits” defines what the fog did as it entered the city: it settled over the area silently (Sandburg, 3). In the fourth line the word “over” is to define the fog’s actions just as the word “sits” in the third line (Sandburg, 4). Both of these are examples of imagery, as these two words help to make a picture in the readers mind. Lastly, in the third and fourth lines, the words “haunches” and “moves on” help to demonstrate what the fog is doing as it starts to dissipate (Sandburg,…
