Compare And Contrast Snowbound And Dmayr
Poetry Analysis Both John Greenleaf Whittier and Dmayr, authors of Snowbound and Seasonally Affected wrote their poems in very similar ways. Throughout the two poems you'll notice that the speaker, meaning, speaker, theme, mood, and style of the writing is very similar. Snowbound and Seasonally Affected both were based around an older person who was aging and not always as they were before. The characters were depressed and not mentally or physically able to do what they used to in their younger days. They're both stuck in their old bodies and wishing they could escape back to their childhood days. Along with the characters, the speakers of both poems were also alike. The speakers were both in first person, and it was the characters expressing

    To The Virgins Analysis

    The general subject to both of these poems is the fact that they both have to do with love, and sex. Although in the poem To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time the writer is talking about all young girls to lose their virginity. I know it is directed to all young girls because in line 10 it states, “When youth and blood are warmer.” When he says “youth” he is talking about young girls. The poem To His Coy Mistress is talking about how the writer wants one,a certain girl in particular to have sex with him. He is doing all he by convincing her and trying his best for her to say yes. In lines 15-19 he says, “Two…

    The two poems are similar in their corresponding feeling of dread for death. Using diction, Keats reflects on how he “may cease to be” and how he “may never live.” Similarly, Longfellow states that “[h]alf of [his] life is gone” and that the “years slip from” him. Both narrators then continue to lament their fears of not accomplishing everything they had once aspired to do. Keats uses an anaphora of “when” in order to illustrate the various and wide-ranging fears that are related to death. He also uses the anaphora of “before” in order to further accentuate his concerns of dying before he is able to accomplish various educational yearnings. Similarly, Longfellow also acknowledges his failure in fulfilling “the aspiration of [his] youth” or in building a “tower of song with lofty parapet.” This tower symbolizes a success of literary prowess and legacy the speaker had once hoped to wish for. He realizes that he will not accomplish everything he had once wanted. Both of these poems are ultimately similar in that they both illustrate men who fear that their lives will be coming to an end.…

    The use of imagery is another aspect that both poems have in common. In the first poem, Harper makes use of harsh imagery to emphasize in the emotional loss of the slave mother instead of her physical loss of her son. In stanza one, Harper used words like “wildly” and “shriek” which depict an animalistic fight for her son. There is a strong bond between a mother and a son and slavery has been shown to break this bond. The reader can clearly sense the pain and agony of the slave mother.…

    Both poems end with the image of a person regenerated with power. Also, we can see this regeneration in line “out of the ash”.

After she will die, she will resurrect and she will kind of take her revenge by devouring…
