The Nymph's Reply To The Shepard
Does Raleigh's poem "The Nymph's Reply to the Shepard" transform the ideas found in Marlowe's poem "The passionate Shepherd to his love"? Does these poems change by focusing on what is absent, emphasized, and what is different.

In these poems many things are absent. Therefore what is he going to give her. Romance? The girls response is the realist. The man doesn't care about his own comfort, and also the woman wants physical comfort not mental.

Next there are many things emphasized. Both texts are stressing love. She wants emotional love,but he wants physical love.

Last there are a few differences. He is offering something different than what she desires. The man thinks all the love should be physical. Also he is offering

    Today’s events have left me thinking a bit. After we got back from exploring the island, Ralph assembled another meeting to spread our new discoveries. We realized everyone would not stop talking at once, so Ralph decided that whoever holds the conch has the right to talk and can only be interrupted by Ralph himself. Great idea at first, until that fat, useless oaf Piggy took it. He wouldn’t stop worrying and whining about getting rescued. Ralph said it himself, his dad’s a navy commander and will probably have us rescued in a few days. I don’t understand why he doesn’t have faith in Ralph like the others.…

    Women often feel unloved because their emotional needs aren’t being met, and in the same way, men often feel ignored because their physical needs aren’t being met. What women mean by intimacy is deep emotional connection, sharing and hearing the heart of the loved, the ability to cry easily and together at emotional moments, a sensitivity to know immediately when feelings are hurt, understanding each other’s dreams and goals, and closeness of the heart and soul. However, what men mean by intimacy is physical connection, foreplay, hand-holding, hugging and kissing, understanding each other’s physical needs, an ability to communicate physical needs, physical time alone together and a sensitivity to know when physical needs are present. These are the ways of love – the different ways of love between man and…

    Published in 965, Joseph Krutch’s article, Can We Survive the Fun Explosion, exemplifies man’s capacity for evil. Making the specific claim, “when pleasure becomes the summon bonum, the pursuit of happiness may be getting out of hand,” he underlies the idea that every man has evil within them. William Golding makes the same claim in his novel, The Lord of the Flies. To portray this claim, The Lord of The Flies places a group of school children on an abandoned island. As they fail to maintain a civilized order and their innocence, it becomes clear that several of the boys ae capable of evil. Golding uses he literary devices of characterization, diction, and…

    It was a regular day. Cleaning, cooking, caring for the young. Displaying and obeying the role of a women. I longed for some excitement. Alast, in September 1864 I thought I found the excitement I felt so deprived of. Confederation. The thought of being involved in something important was splendid. I thought of different ways I could intertwine my knowledge to support the idea of confederation. Although I was in favour of Confederation, I didn't have the political right to broadcast my opinion. Being a women had its cons. No matter how effective my words were, they didn't matter. Mens words would always overshadow mine.…

    Write your response to this element here. My response for this question is that the characteristics are almost the same in there meanings. With romantic and courtly love they can be expressed the same way by thru song or poems by both woman and men. The feelings and thoughts and emotions can be expressed and felt the same way by both parties. The big difference in them is that men are the ones who show more respect and honor to the woman they are perusing. They do this by giving gifts and doing deeds of honor to show how he feels towards the one he is perusing.…
