Working can be as effortless as singing the words to your favorite song but it’s not always that simple. Arna Bontemps’s “A Black Man Talks of Reaping” creates a searing picture of not reaping what you sowed by alluding to the times of slavery through metaphor‚ imagery and diction. While Paul Laurence Dunbar’s “A Negro Love Song” paints a delightful image of a man and woman in love with its trochaic rhythm.

Journey through “A Subaltern ’s Love Song” I am using the Reader-Response approach to the poem “A Subaltern ’s Love Song” by John Betjeman (1945). The first thing that captured my imagination was the reference to a tennis tournament because of my competitive nature.

I got the feeling that there was a good possibility that he let her win the tournament and in the end

In the poem The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S. Eliot‚ I found it easy to relate to the author’s feelings of inadequacy. The narrator was constantly bringing up other famous artists and comparing himself to them‚ only to inevitably fall short of his own expectations. Eliot exemplified it best through the repeated line “In the room the women come and go/ Talking of Michelangelo”. The narrator brings up the famous and very talented artist Michelangelo‚ who is still talked about by the women
