    The Holland Marsh is a crucial part of Ontario’s agriculture economy as it brings in over $1 billion of revenue each year. Various types of crops are grown each year, including onions, carrots, cabbage, potatoes and peas. However, majority of the farms are allocated specifically for onions and carrots as they are the most popular crops and bring in the most revenue. Prior to 1954, the Holland Marsh went through various stages of change. Before the 1900’s, the Marsh was a source of food for aboriginals and european settlers who would also fish and hunt. In the early 1900’s, talks about draining the Holland Marsh for agriculture use began to arise. Eventually construction began in 1925 and a canal system was created to divert the Holland River.…

    In Suárez's poem, "Isla" the speaker uses a few imagery and descriptive phrases to develop sympathy in me as a reader. The phrase “The Three Stooges, The Little Rascals, Speed Racer, and the Godzilla movies” has a meaning to the poem, which is why they are written at the beginning of the poem (Kirszner & Mandell, 2012). The Three Stooges represents consistently making bad decisions while making a mess out of everything. The Little Rascals represents a group of mischievous troublemakers. Speed Racer represents racing to win. Godzilla is a very large destructive lizard, but also represents a massive crowd of people leaving one country by crossing the ocean and immigrating to another country. As a reader, the immigrant experience can be…

    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.…

    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.…

    "My Papa's Waltz" is one of most popular contemporary poems written by Theodore Roethke. The poem was first published in 1942 by Heast Magazines, Inc. from The Collected Poems of Theodore Roethke. It is a poem about a boy recalling a time with his father while they share a dance of waltz. This poem consists of four quatrains written in iambic trimeter with a simple rhyme scheme. It uses imagery, metaphors, and simile to invoke a strong impression. Each image captures an emotional richness all told from an innocent point of view of a child. At first glance, this poem has a tone of playfulness that captures the bond between father and son. Yet as one looks closely, the poem has a curious ambiguity that evokes multiple interpretations. The use of sardonic words to describe an affectionate moment is misleading and ultimately the readers are left to wonder whether the boy in the poem is suggesting some type of abuse or…

Several literary elements demonstrate that the lyrics could very well serve as poetry. The song is told from the first person point of view. "Poets who write in the first-person point of view allow the reader to experience the imagery of a poem through the direct perception of the narrator" (Cascio). These lyrics are written so tenderly and deeply that you feel like a private and intimate moment is personally shared with you.…
