    Isla Poem Summary

    In reviewing Vergil Suárez's 1962 poem “Isla”, I find his use of imagery easy to relate to. The use of television shows such as The Three Stooges, Speed Racer, and Godzilla, to bring the reader to the level of the child by providing focal points which many can relate to is refreshing. I can remember many weekends when I would sit in front of a black & white and eventually color tv and watch these same shows as a child. Likewise, Suárez’s use of descriptive phrases helps to paint the picture of the struggle the storyteller is experiencing.…

    Fort Mchenry: Poem Analysis

    In 1814 Francis Scott wrote the poem that is recognized as our National Anthem. The poem, originally titled “The Defence of Fort McHenry,” was written after the Maryland fort was bombarded by the British during the War of 1812. In 2013-2014 there was an estimated 98,000 public schools in America. Many of these schools start their day with the National Anthem. In the past couple of years there has been controversy with people in the limelight sitting out during the National Anthem. Many people believe that sitting out for the National Anthem is disrespectful to the troops who go to serve in the places that try to take our country down. Other people believe that sitting out for the national is part of our First Amendment right for freedom…

    Willow Frost Poem

    Jamie Ford is one of the few modern yet revolutionarily ambiguous writers of our time. Ford, author of powerfully insightful books such as “House on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet,” which has won incredible awards and appraisals from around the globe including but not limited to: being a New York Times bestseller and winning the Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature, has once again written a hard-hitting work of art – the fairly new and beautifully coherent novel: “Songs of Willow Frost.” In this novel Ford makes loud connections that transcend time in the characters’ affairs with cultural beliefs, societal views, and authoritative abuse. The novel features various ground-shaking themes that create professionally welded networks…

    Ocean Poem Mood

    Ocean Poem Mood

    Tone is very similar to mood and often both are connected to one another. This is definitely the case in these two poems since both share very similar moods and tones. The mood of peace and tranquility is basically how the author feels about both settings, but his feelings in “The Ocean” are different when compared to “Address to the Moon”. In the “The Ocean” the author views the ocean from varying perspectives, which is evident from the text from how he describes the ocean as “Though there be fury on the waves, Beneath them there is none.” He clearly views the ocean as being furious and crazed from the surface but the deeper you go, the calmer and more relaxed parts are shown. This is quite different from “Address to the Moon” where…

    Pretty How Town Poem

    Although E. E. Cummings’ poem “anyone lived in a pretty how town” emphasizes themes of independence, defiance, and love; and Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken” emphasizes themes of making choices and feeling regret; it is apparent that by analyzing the poems side by side that they both highlight the concept of being forced to choose one side or the other and the difference between the right choice and the common choice. No two poems can be exactly similar to another; so despite having many similarities, the two poems are vastly different.…

    Emmett Till Poem Analysis

    The Hippy era was a time in United States history when massive changes were made. Boundaries were challenged and crossed in literature and art, the government was confronted head-on for its policies in Vietnam; and the cause of civil rights was embraced by the young. This was a time of growth not only as a country but for people as individuals. People were standing up for their personal right to do what they felt they wanted to do. This was a time of change for the civil rights movement and women's movement. The two poems that I have chose center on the civil rights movement during the 1960's and how it affected people.…

    The Hippie Movement and the Beat Movemnt

    Jack Kerouac once said, “the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars” (Kerouac 5). Kerouac was the symbol of the Beat Movement. He was the rebellious and adventurous man, who during his time was considered an outcast, but soon later made way for the counterculture of the Hippie Generation. The beats were all about going against social conformity and usual political views (Bennett 340), which mirrored the belief system of the hippies one decade later. This is one of the many reasons why the Beat Movement was the actual beginning of the Hippie Generation and drug epidemic that occurred soon after.…

    Nighthawks Poem

    In life, some people may be Nighthawks. They are not like an owl of the night, but outcasts instead. Although living in the world’s busiest places, surrounded by life and connection, these people have isolated themselves emotionally from those around them and are just feasting upon life’s most taboo pleasures. Using the socially disconnected characters, Samuel Yellen emphasizes the idea that that only by living a life of daring and excitement will humans ever be truly content with their lives.…
