Comparing The Passionate Shepherd To His Love And Raleigh Was Right

Throughout this unit the theme is the concept of a central idea and the idea that works of art often have more than one idea they want to convey to their audience. The poems “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love” by Christopher Marlowe, “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd” by Sir Walter Raleigh, and “Raleigh Was Right” by William Carlos Williams use an overarching story of a shepherd pronouncing his love to a nymph and she rejects this love while “Rules of the Game” is a story about a girl named Waverly skill in chess and how her relationship with her mother is negatively affected by it the Central idea is developed using point of view imagery and other figurative language there has only been one central idea throughout the unit that has remained
