Throughout the book‚ the soldiers had to camouflage themselves in order to live. The first poem of the book‚ Camouflaging the Chimera‚ sets the tone of the whole book by pointing out how the soldiers are camouflaging in order to hide from the enemy. The poet talks about how they were getting prepared by [tying] branches to [their] helmets (Komunyakaa 1: 3). As they are hide from

With Lelia’s constant companion away at school she appreciated the extra hours at work.

The Swing Youth wore American and British fashion instead of traditional German garments. The boys wore double-breasted suits with baggy trousers that had turned-up cuffs‚ and a fedora to top it off.

Examine in detail the main ideas in Sidney’s ‘An Apology for Poetry’ and comment on its significance. An Apologie for Poetrie may for purposes of convenience be divided into sixteen sections. 1. The Prologue Before launching a defence of poetry‚ Sidney justified his stand by referring in a half-humorous manner to a treatise on horseman-ship by pietro Pugliano.

I agree with this assessment of Bishop’s poetry. Her poems on the syllabus certainly pose interesting questions about identity‚ awareness and one’s place in the world‚ indeed the universe‚ and they do so by means of a unique style.

The questions that interested me most are those posed in ‘Questions of Travel’. These fascinated
