From that day forward I learned that I should be more careful with fireworks, I should always have an adult present while using fire, think twice before you act, and take care of family first. Even though a lot of things went wrong nobody got hurt and nothing was damaged or combusted, so in a way everything went as planned???? Well at the end of the day it was just a little something to laugh about, so it is ok to take risks every once in awhile. Oh and don't forget to be careful with…
For essay number one I am going to discuss the changing views of man's place in relationship to his God and to his earthly existence as shown in the Puritan poetry by Taylor and Bryant. Using the poems "Huswifery" and "To a Waterfowl" to discuss the views mentioned earlier. Both of these poems are very interesting poems and also are the use of nature in them that both the poets use. They are both religious in there own way by the way mention God or the Lord doing something for the creature to help them.…
First, when read out loud, these two poems flow very differently and have different rhythms. Their accents and pauses come in all different places, this due to two…
In this essay I will be linking the poems 'Cousin Kate ' and 'Havisham '. The poem Cousin Kate was written by Christina Rossetti and is the story of a cottage maiden and how she was seduced and used by the lord of the estate for which she worked. The poem then goes on to describe how she became jealous of her cousin, Kate, as she then went on to marry the lord. "Havisham" is a poem written in 1998 by Carol Ann Duffy. It responds to Charles Dickens ' character Miss Havisham in Great Expectations. It looks at Havisham 's mental and physical state many decades after being left standing at the altar, when the bride-to-be is in her old age. It expresses Havisham 's anger at her fiancé and her bitter rage over wedding-day trauma and jilted abandonment.…
This a comparative analysis of poems 'To His Coy Mistress', 'Let's Misbehave' (actually is a song) and 'The Sunne Rising'. It was supposed to be 4 poems, but I'm pretty sure a paragraph went missing, so this is up for repairs.…
Most people expect that all poetry should be close to the same thing if we were to have the same theme, but in fact, although there are many similarities, there can also be many differences too. Upon comparison of The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S Eliot and Afternoons and Coffee Spoons by Crash Test Dummies we see just this. These two poems share similarities in theme, and reference to time but do not have similar tones.…
What is unique that I have observed is each stanza has exactly eight lines. Yes the poem does rhyme and this allows for the poem to flow smoothly.…
‘Lore’ and ‘An old man’s winter night’ both use enjambment, but to different effects. They also use parenthesis in their poems. However in ‘Lore’ the rhyme scheme emphasises Jobs rhythm of work. He also has a jump in his step while he is telling us about his life and…
Although these poem’s share the same style and same meaning the of the poems is vastly different.…
The thing that makes both of the poems alike is that they both serve the same purpose in explaining the lives of two different people but the common chain between the both of them is that one is young and the other is old. The both of them play off of each other in the sense that the poem about the younger generation who are rushing through their lives skipping school, staying out late shooting pool and dying before their time. While in the old one, the men are enjoying their lives and living it to the fullest knowing they are not going to live forever.…

Take a minute to imagine “Men looking like they had been/attacked repeatedly by a succession /of wild animals,” “never/ ending blasted field of corpses,” and “throats half gone, /eyes bleeding, raw meat heaped/ in piles.” These are the vividly, grotesque images Edward Mayes describes to readers in his poem, “University of Iowa Hospital, 1976.” Before even reading the poem, the title gave me a preconceived idea of what the poem might be about. “University of Iowa Hospital, 1976” describes what an extreme version of what I expected the poem to be about. The images I described above are just some of the horrifying scenes described by Mayes. This poem spoke to me about the pain and suffering patients endure while staying in a hospital (whether it be a mental hospital or a medical hospital) and the horrific images the staff see daily. Mayes uses several types of imagery and literary tropes in his poem to give readers an intense visual sensation as they read his poem. The visuals Mayes placed in my own mind while I read this poem were intensely real and stuck with me long after I studied the poem.…
There is always a war going on inside when finding oneself, and the accomplishment of finally being content with oneself sets its basis on one’s gender and age. The poems that best portray the themes of war and self are “The Journey” by Mary Oliver, “The Sacred” by Stephen Dunn, and “ Carrying a Ladder ” by Kay Ryan.…

“Slaveship,” by Lucille Clifton, is a free verse poem from the perspective of slaves that the white men capture and trade in the slave trade, forcing them to travel on the Middle Passage. Ironically, the ships bear the names of religious symbols and figures such as Jesus, Angel of God, and Grace of God (lines 14-15) even though the act of slavery is one of the most sinful systems in the eyes of these slaves and in the eyes of all decent human beings.…
