The Poem I Choose That Make Me Familiar
Mohammed Arif
2A unit 3
Activity 23 The poem I choose that make me familiar about love in this world is “No Longer Mourn for Me When I am Dead” by William Shakespeare. I choose this poem because it uses great rhyme scheme, imagery, and tone. This poem provides people and opportunity to know the world better and how you know someone after your death. This poem also guides people to live happily in life.

Shakespeare uses specific imagery and tone to make his poems interesting and amazing to a reader. For example “Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell” uses great imagery such as “sullen bell” to show the reader how the death bell is noticeable and memorable. The speaker wonders how his memory will affect to his lover after he is gone. A part of the poem “From this vile world, with vilest worms to dwell…That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot, If thinking on me then should make you woe” shows great tone. The tone in the poem shows that love is full of pain using these words “vile”, “worms”, “sweet”, and “woe”. Shakespeare is able to show how his poems are great by using many kinds of literary device. (gradesaver)d

I feel I can relate my self as shakespear because I use to love someone till my death. Shakespeare uses a rhyme scheme to help the reader to understand format and play of the poem. In his poem I found interesting the way the poem uses rhyme scheme for example ABAB CDCD EFEF GG and the entire sentence have exact rhyme except for the last two which have slant rhyme. For example “Lest the wise world should look into your moan, and mock you with me after I am gone.” This two last sentence in his poem are slant rhyme using “moan”, and “gone” to show how his poem is set up and how it makes your feel attractive and emotional about love to the reader. Shakespeare uses great from of writing in his poems. (wikipedia)

This poem took my attention because it is a great teaching of literary devices to make a great poem and anyone can

    In these two great pieces of literature, one of the main literary devices used is imagery. Imagery is one of the best literary devices to use because it makes the reader feel like they are inside of the story. Like in The Alchemist, on page 73, “I’ve crossed these sands many times, said one of the camel drivers one night. But the desert is so huge, and the horizon so distant, that they make a person feel small, and as if he should remain silent,” (Coelho 73). And in XXIX Sonnet, Shakespeare doesn’t use too much imagery in this poem, but in lines 11 and 12 he says, ”Like to the lark at break of day arising; From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;” (Lines 11,12). Imagery is a great tool for authors and is utilized well in these two…

    I personally feel like the theme of love appears way to often in the media already, so when I chose to find a new poem, I want it to be one that addresses something that society usually turns a blind eye towards. For example, Venessa Marco’s poem entitled “Patriarchy” points out that which many people chose to ignore:…

    One of the primary impetuses in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is intense, wild feelings; love, hatred, anger, captivation, and shock are all obvious in the play and directly affect the terrible scenarios that develop. In (II.ii), the most acquainted feelings passed on are those of despondency, adoration and genuineness. Shakespeare utilizes symbolism, non-literal language and effective vocabulary to pass on these feelings to his audience.…

    The imagery portrayed in both Shakespeare and Neruda’s sonnet share the juxtaposition between negative and positive imagery. Still, Neruda’s sonnet constantly interchanges negative and positive verses more than Shakespeare does. For instance, the first quatrain of Neruda’s sonnet perfectly portrays the mentioned juxtaposition with “My ugly, you’re a messy chestnut. My beauty, you are pretty as the wind. Ugly: your mouth is big enough for two mouths. Beauty: your kisses are as fresh as melons.” This imagery, in addition, involves two famous types of poetic devices: metaphor and simile. It’s intriguing to see that the metaphors are used to describe the ugly, while the similes are used for the beauty. These two devices add on to our understanding as readers to see that with the metaphors for the ugly is meant to make us see an over exaggerated view of the speaker’s reality in regards to his beloved and the similes for the beauty is meant for us to see what the speaker really sees because he is in love. In contrast, Shakespeare’s sonnet twice as much negative, but honest imagery within the three quatrains. The first quatrain serves as the ideal example of the concept, “My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lips’ red; If snow be white,…

    Shakespeare uses one specific type of figurative to give you plot, and that type is foreshadowing. Through out the play Shakespeare continuously gives hints that give you more meaning to the purpose of the verse. In some cases, Shakespeare reveals plot, in this case upcoming death or misery like when the chorus says, "A pair of star crossed lovers take their life….whose misadventured piteous overthrows." In that passage, the chorus talks of Romeo and Juliet's unfortunate love, which foreshadows their certain end. In the verse right before Juliet takes the potion Friar Laurence gave to her, she is doubtful that she will ever see her family, again foreshadowing her upcoming death," God knows when we shall meet again.. I have a faint cold fear thrills through. Sometimes the speaker has no knowledge of the foreshadowing she or he is doing such as the time when Friar Laurence was predicting unfortunate events were about to happen before he entered the Capulet Tomb.…

    The two poems I chose to write about are Elizabeth Bishops “One Art” and “What my lips have kissed” by Edna St. Vincent Millay’s. I chose both of these because they both in a way are describing love, and loss for something or someone. Even though they do not come right out and say it, both poems deal with love and the loss they have experienced. In Bishops poem she talks about how losing comes at ease and how nothing that has been lost has been disastrous. However, in the last stanza of her poem I believe she is talking about the loss of her lover and her talking about it in her poem is how she is coping. She says “may look like (Write it!) like disaster” in the last stanza of her poem is how I believe she is coping with the loss of her lover.…

    In the play Shakespeare’s style of writing definitely enhances his work and readers perspective in his masterpieces. Everything about Shakespeare's writing is undoubtedly unique, however one thing I found most enhancing was his tone. Passionate and violent. Though those two words can be completely opposite of each other, I find it phenomenal how William Shakespeare can write and descriptively write each adjective in one play. “A plague o' both your houses!" (39) Shakespeare passionately states this repetitively to show Mercutio’s passion. The tone is the manner in which the author is speaking to the audience, which Shakspeare shares with his readers and how both passionate and violent tones can both be shown, whether in a play, page, or even…

    Similes enrich description by comparing two seemingly unlike things using 'like' or 'as.' He used similes like a baker uses raisins, sprinkling them throughout his text to make it sweeter and richer. . For example in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, (In line 7) “No, no, I am as ugly as a bear”, Helena is comparing herself ugly as a bear. Also, (In line 9-10) “Therefore no marvel though Demetrius Do, as a monster fly my presence thus”. Recognizing when his characters are speaking figuratively helps in understanding the poem.…

    There are many ways to describe a love story, but in the classic story Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, he uses light and dark imagery to let the reader feel how madly in love the two lovers are. Imagery is when you are describing something that is visually descriptive so the reader has an idea of what it looks like, Light imagery helps the reader know how the two lovers feel about each other by comparing each other to something bright, like the sun. When Shakespeare uses dark imagery, it is the complete opposite of what light imagery is. Dark imagery is when anything that was once bright and cheerful is now dark and sad. Throughout the story, both light and dark imagery is used to describe the relationship between Romeo and Juliet.…

    Furthermore, Shakespeare has provided his Elizabethan audience with vivid imagery to convey the supernatural happenings. Casca’s description of all things unnatural is quite intense when he describes the women to be “ghastly” and “transformed with fear” when they see the “men all in fire” walk the streets. The owl has also been said to be “hooting and shrieking.” The lion “glared” at Casca and went by “surly.” These are a few examples of how Shakespeare has successfully used imagery to dramatize the scene.…

    When I first read both Shakespeare 's poem and Moss 's poem, I could not understand Shakespeare 's thought. What I feel about his poem is that it seems to be very unusual while Moss 's poem looks very natural. I mean that it is hard to read rather than hard to understand because there are some old English words. For example, Shakespeare states,…

    This is my favourite poem as it describes hope by using a powerful array of metaphors to enhance its effect. While it is true that many people all over the world live in extremely challenging and life threatening situations, leading hard lives in appalling conditions. What keeps people going in such circumstances is the glimmer of hope that things can change. This is one thought that came to mind when first reading the poem and this is what attracted me to it and as it relates to any hopeless situations it really does apply to all aspects of life.…
