'Imagery And Symbolism In Hope 314'
In the poem “Hope 314”I like how it provides the imagery of a bird and how the bird went through lots and it symbolizes how the hope can continue on when in times of disaster or some sort of crisis.The image is important/memorable to me because it symbolizes how important a little bit hope can take you a long way even if the situation you are in is terrible. In the poem “Maggie,milly,and May” I like how the author provided an image of the three girls going around the beach and I get the feeling that they were looking for the purpose or something they want to do in their lives. Seeing that made me think of its importance and how rememberable it was,so I really liked that one how that poem came about. For the last one I cannot really think of

    Out of the three poems, the first two hardly had but one or two symbols throughout. They were so short, that they hardly had enough time to get but a small message across to the reader, or atleast that 's how I saw it. However, Alberto Rios 's "Mi Abuelo" had many images which made my brain tingle with excitement for writing this paper. Besides the fact that it had the most imagery, it also was the most interesting and best imagery in my opinion.…

    I feel this poem has impressionistic, decorative, and picturesque imagery. To allow you to visualize what’s going on and experience the emotions being expressed. Symbols were used to help add to the picture. One would be the bird that has a broken wing and moving in circles showed that everyone is capable of getting hurt. Another symbol is the goat’s bones, symbolizing that danger is always present in our lives. Birney used alliteration to flow from one word to another. An example of this would be “seracs that shore”. Similies were used to create an intense picture.”An overhang crooked like a talon” reveal’s the power and threat a mountain gives off. The metaphorical image: “... mountain... were made to see over, / Stairs to the valleys and steps to the sun’s retreats” relates to life. Mountains are the barriers to life in which you must overcome. The stairs resemble the chance to overcome the barrier. The sun setting shows missed opportunity.…

    One of my favorite poems is “poetry.” Poetry is a poem about poets using poetry to express themselves and not to impress anybody. She uses metaphors to show what poetry is, she says “A poem is pure energy.” These types of metaphors help the reader picture what the poems trying to say. She also uses personification to also have a better understanding.…

    The one poem I found interesting was "Cinderella" by Anne Sexton. I expected the poem to just be a fancy version of the princess tale Cinderella which everyone knows that story. I expected it to be boring and everything I already knew about the fairytale. But this version was a more grim tale of the orginal. The beginning really hooks you with all the little stories about the plumber winning the sweekskates, the nursemaid marring the prince, and the milkman buying into real estate. All these people started out with nothing and unexpectly got wealthy, just like Cinderella. Throughout the story, Anne Sexton uses means of exxagartions. For example, she says " Whenever she wished for anything the dove would drop it like an egg upon the ground."…

    There are an endless number of poems in the world today. Each of these poems can leave a lasting impression on a reader. Each reader may gain a different impression from the next reader. Two poems that have left an impression on me are “Harlem” by Langston Hughes and “The New Colossus” by Emma Lazarus. There are different key elements within in each poem that create the effect it can have on a reader. These key elements are imagery, figures of speech, symbolism, word choice, tone, theme, and sound.…

    After reading all of the poems I sense a common theme. Of trying to understand the world and the restrictions it has on us. Even in things or events that we have no control over. Also our reactions to the change of weather for better. Or the things not known by others in certain exceptions of life.…

    The poem I have chosen is one filled with imagery and has figurative language. This poem talks about Giraffe's or to this passage, “Stilted creatures.” They stand tall, and feed from the tops of the trees while swaying “Like hammer-headed flowers.” Silent with “ears like leaves,” to listen to the brushing of the clouds that are closer to them. I selected this poem because I loved the imagery of this poem.…

    The poems I selected were all about how I feel. I can relate to every single one of the poems I chose. The poem Springing shows that just because its rainy or hot, you always have something to do. The poem Spring Snow shows that at one point you might want the winter to come back, or just a change. The poem Birds Again shows that some people think differently about Spring, some people think it's black and groggy, but I disagree.…

    Symbolism, Imagery, AllegoryThe big, black, creep clock is located in the black room, so it's not that hard to guess that it's meant to be a symbol of death. More precisely, it's a symbol of the passing of "the Time that flies" (5), and the inevitability of death. Its eerie chiming on the hour is a regular reminder to the revelers that their lives are drifting away with the time, and that death is approaching. Of course, the effect is enhanced even more by that way the clock has of stopping all the dancing and music – in short, all the life – of the party, and making everyone laugh nervously. The abbey is a place of confinement. It's cut off and secluded (hidden away where no one can find it). Beyond that, its doors are welded shut from the inside. Which means everyone's…

    Allusions were not a focal point within my poetry program, however, metaphors held major importance. When I simply mentioned the titles of the poems I chose to cut and fragment from they scream metaphor and symbolism. Roads, Acquainted, Night, Silence all drew intense imagery of my life and the paths or roads that I’ve taken (and not taken). Although this may or may not have given me a better sense of understanding of the texts, it most certainly gave me a different understanding; one that I would not have necessarily expected prior to this assignment.…
