The Red Wheel Barrow Analysis
The poem Red Wheelbarrow talking about how everyone needs someone in their life to depends on. From reading this I believe the interpretations from reading the first stanza and that is the writer was saying everyone needs the help of someone in order to make it, no one can’t do it alone. We all need someone to help us and we reach out for help.
The second stanza, a red wheel barrow interpret that you have to struggle and hold you own weight to get ahead and we have to carry all the dirt that is in the barrow and it’s a never ending journey. Another interpretation is that you need the red wheel barrow for the farming and he is a farmer.
The third stanza in this poem is “glazed with rain water” which represent rain washed away what is all dirty

    North Coat Town- Robert Gray Analysis

    The poem is set on the north coast of New South Wales. In Stanza 1, the persona is out beside the highway attempting to catch a ride. ‘Nothing much in my pockets but sand from the beach,’ this suggests that the man slept on the beach the night and that it was pretty common for it to have occurred. The word ‘nothing’ is negative and is a sign of worthlessness. A Shell station is located near by as long as a hamburger stand both closed. The two utilities both represent the need to use the restroom and his hunger from not eating anything, as he could not afford anything. Just from stanza 1, readers can get the idea that this man is a hitchhiker. This demonstrates the life of these hitchhikers and how they would get through life day after day.…

    Comparing The Poetry Of William Carlos Williams And H. D.

    Williams drags this poem on by creating an interest with the reader in his first line, “so much depends”. Williams does not reveal what he is talking about until the 4th line which is just one word; “barrow”. The fact that Williams splits the word “wheel” from the word “barrow” makes the reader visualize that the wheelbarrow is composed of two different and distinct parts. He also does this in lines 5 and 6 with “rain” and “water”. Williams ends the poem suggesting that the red wheelbarrow is beside white chickens. Again, Williams carefully describes the chickens as being “white”. The Red Wheelbarrow is a free verse poem that is composed of only one sentence. I believe the main purpose of this poem was to show imagery in the most minimalist…

    Analyzing Root Cellar By Theodore Roethke

    For me, this poem is talking about being different and the influence society has upon it. Within this poem I can grasp some symbols that can have many meanings. The “Cellar” portrayed people who were different. Every one who is perceived as being in the “cellar” is thought of as bad and is automatically outcasted. Any association with the people who are thought of as being a part of the “cellar” automatically has an effect on you making you part of the “cellar” as well.…

    How does Heaney’s writing powerfully portray a farm-worker in Follower

    Another way Heaney powerfully portrays a farm-worker through his writing is with his use of technical language and therefore his familiarity with the work of his father. This is demonstrated in the first stanza when Heaney describes the “shafts and the furrow”. These terms are solely in regards to farming and show how he must spend a lot of time on the farm and therefore show the farm-worker aspect of this poem. Another indication of language used by Heaney to portray a farm-worker is when he describes how to actually achieve certain things on the farm through different techniques. He does this when outlining how he wants to…

    Poem Analysis: Lying in a Hammock

    The first line contains an image of a “bronze butterfly” sleeping on a trunk. This stagnant description of such a beautiful creature demonstrates a slowly moving life, one of which hasn’t achieved much. The trunk that the butterfly is sleeping on is colored black, representing the man’s missed opportunities to leave the farm. The next line portrays a leaf blowing down a ravine found behind an empty house. Obviously the empty house and the later heard cowbells in the distance (implying that the cows are leaving the farm) are clear images of the man’s loneliness. The speaker moves on to spot some horse manure. This dung, after being left for over a year, has dried and is turning into stones. The changing of this manure symbolizes the man’s changing into an old, lifeless man. Just as the manure does, the longer the man sits there and waits for something, the more prone he is to dry up and waste his life. Before the last line of the poem, the speaker mentions the setting sun and the evening that approaches as he lays back in his hammock. A chicken hawk, a well-known hunter, flies by the man and looks for his home, just as the man is looking for his home — or the place where he belongs. As the evening envelops the man, all of these apparently “beautiful” images (yet symbolically depressing messages) pushes the man to realize that his life has become…

    Redgrove being a drunk has a huge impact on this poem and it is why this poem was written. This poem is all about a person being drunk and depressed which is what Redgrove would have been at the time he wrote this. When relating this to today’s world I feel like a lot of people are depressed so they go out to drink and get drunk because they will make them feel better but in the long run it will only continue to get worse.

    Analysis: The Road Not Taken

    Many people would have made chosen to take the path that has been taken more often, knowing they will be safe and their deeds will go unnoticed. I would have taken the path less traveled by too, but not everyone makes the same choices. This is why there are both bad and good people in the world. Hopefully someday the good will weigh out the bad and all will be equal. The author used poetic devices to make the poem seem more real. Even though choices are already real. In the first line the poet gave am example of assonance. “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood.” The ‘O’ sound is repeated in “roads” and “yellow.” He also gave an example of personification. In the eighth line the text states, “Because it was grassy and wanted wear.” He gave a human characteristic to a non-living thing. He was saying the path wanted wear but only living things like humans, animals and plants can want. The poem as a whole could be considered a metaphor. The poet was comparing the paths in life to the choices one must make. This poem speaks of the actual choices in one’s life, as roads one must choose to take. The roads represent your choices in…

    Two Attitudes to the Passing of Time in Frost's Poetry

    ‘The Road Not Taken’ seems to express regret for a path that the persona in the poem ‘could not travel’. The poem has a kind of haunting wistfulness about the transience of time and a sober tone of fatalism is very apparent. The indecisive and contemplative language of the persona of ‘the road’, who tells his story ‘with a sigh’, is ‘sorry’ about his choice in life and expresses regret, and the tone of fatalism is powerfully conveyed through the final stanza. Here, the shocking switch to present tense and the enjambment of the two I’s arrests the rhythm and reflects upon the possibilities of self that could have been. ‘A Leaf-Treader’ also has a tone of wistfulness but an even stronger tone of frustration. The long lines and full rhymes seem to express a sense of weariness with the whole business of collecting leaves, with the repetition of the word ‘treading’ highlighting the monotony of his task. Compounds like ‘autumn-tired’ with their attenuated rhythm, also seem to express a sense of anger at the way things are and the strong language of ‘God knows’ is significant in the persona’s call for for justification of the need for repeated effort in life. There is a paradoxical fear from the persona about the drive to mast his job but also the limitless nature of his task.…

    Euphoria: Poetry and Mother

    The first stanza opens the poem to the setting and exactly what is going on with this mother and son. The poem holds nothing back from the reader with the line, “While she smokes a few white pebbles” (6) which implies that his mother is smoking cocaine and does this with his knowledge, in the moment. It suggests that his mother doesn’t care too much if he is aware and even if she gets him involved in her addiction. “Late winter, sky darkening after school” (1) tells the reader that the teen is educated and his mother even goes and picks him up. The poem also includes that there are “groceries bought from Shop- Mart” and that she drives a Mercedes (2-4) which is another sign that the family has some values like home making and that the family also has money. Lastly, the first stanza will tell the reader where the mother goes to get high and what the building looks like, and it seems to not match the environment that he may be familiar with, but at the same time he knows where he is because he casually mentions the street name “parked on Diamond” (3) as though we should also be familiar with it. The last line “At the house crumbling” (7) suggests that the neighborhood is not kept up and likely does not match a description in which you might fit a Mercedes into.…

    First of all, I know that the Red Wheelbarrow helps people to work in daily life. The first two lines of this poem say: “so much depends upon.” From these two lines, I could know that the wheelbarrow worked a lot for people. It may carry things in a farm. Simple machines, such as a wheelbarrow, could spread the effort and force to do the job. When you want to move something, the wheelbarrow would be an excellent tool to use.…

    The Donkey Cart Analysis

    The Donkey Cart by S.T. Hwang "The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them." Trust, just a five letter word which has a very deep and vast meaning. It teaches people how to care for it, for it is very hard to gain and to deal with. Also, being trustworthy is one of the most important trait a person must possess for it is the process of being able to place confidence in another person. The narrative tells us about the journey of a man whom his trust was tested through a night ride with an accused robber and killer.…
