Keats was inspired to write “Ode to Autumn” after walking through the water meadows of Winchester‚ England‚ in an early autumn evening of 1819. The poem has three stanzas of eleven lines describing the taste‚ sights and sounds of autumn. Much of the third stanza‚ however‚ is dedicated to diction‚ symbolism‚ and literary devices with decisively negative connotations‚ as it describes the end of the day and the end of autumn. The author makes an intense description of autumn at least at first sight

Analysis of “Ode to the West Wind” I chose the poem Ode to The West Wind by Percy Bysshe Shelley because I was attracted to the many images Shelley painted in the poem. Nature is a very interesting and powerful force and the way Shelley portrays it in this poem really caught my attention. Shelley also emphasizes the importance of words and their potential impact on a society if shared. This is a concept I found quite intriguing. In my research‚ I found that when Shelley wrote this poem he was

When I chose to read my biography about Samuel de Champlain I was not too enthused. I didn’t have high expectations and thought it would be dull‚ but little did I know that I would thoroughly enjoy reading this book. I learned so much more about not only Champlain but also about the founding and history of New England and Canada that I had previously known. I am very satisfied with my choice of biography. Samuel de Champlain was born on August 13‚ 1574 in the small port town of Brouage‚ France.

The author of 1 Samuel was Samuel himself‚ at least for the first 20 chapters which is where my passage‚ 1 Samuel 16:14-23‚ lies (Old Testament Samuel 1). Samuel was the last of the line of judges who presided over the nation of Israel until the people demanded a king. Samuel was reluctant at first‚ but God assured Samuel that the people were rejecting God. Samuel anointed Saul to be Israel’s first king with the guidance of God. Samuel most likely wrote his account down to show future Israelites

facts that I learned from interviewing Samuel. I could not imagine that someone as successful as Samuel‚ could have so much shame in his life. He has been living in the “closet” his whole life in order to be accepted by the Mexican society. It has been a process of adaptation and acceptance about his sexuality‚ I think the fact that Samuel agreed about the interview and disclosed his sexuality is a huge step for him. It was certainly a surprise for me when Samuel talked about his homophobic issues‚
