He wants the reader to recognize the symbols of distress and mourning. “Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves. Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.” He uses the symbolism to

Interestingly‚ the foremost message that painter Pieter Bruegel‚ poet W.H. Auden and poet Martin A. Ramos‚ maintain through their works is the idea that life goes on despite the distress of the fallen Icarus. Primarily‚ Pieter Bruegel’s painting Landscape with the Fall of Icarus shows the people’s lack of concern for Icarus’ demise

I will be writing about ‘O What Is That Sound’ and the different techniques that Auden uses to tell the story. Cleverly the poem can be interpreted in more than one way depending on how you read the poem. The poem has two voices off a husband and wife. It tells the story of soldiers coming for this man that have been sent by his wife. One of the ways that Auden tells the story is through the juxtaposition of language at the start of the poem and at the end. At the start the character seems

support from others‚ “no one exists alone‚” (Auden). These lines stand out from the rest of the poem as they bring forward a message of hope for the future. They are contrasted by the rest of the poem‚ which carries a theme of melancholy and depression. One interpretation is to see the speaker’s knowledge that it is often pointless to hold onto hope‚ as they note “The habit-forming pain‚ / Mismanagement and grief: / We must suffer them all again‚” (Auden). It is as if the speaker of the poem realizes

FUNERAL BLUES by W. H. Auden Stop all the clocks‚ cut off the telephone‚ Prevent the dogs from barking with a juicy bone‚ Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin‚ let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead‚ Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves‚ Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

While relying heavily on the stars and constellations‚ it also relies on the immense development of its characters. The novel follows tennagers Jack Baker and Early Auden on Early’s quest to find Pi. As Jack is dragged along on this seemingly pointless adventure‚ it makes him think and better understand his life. Ever since his mother died‚ he and his father had been very disconnected and this journey through the Appalachian

The three texts I have studied are ‘The Great Gatsby’ by F. Scott Fitzgerald‚ ‘The God of Small Things’ by Arundhati Roy and ‘If I Could Tell You’ by W. H. Auden. Within each text the poet or author uses structural and linguistic devices to tell the story and also outline the importance of the message given in a key event. In ‘The Great Gatsby’ an effective event to portray structural and linguistic devices is that of Chapter 2. Within this chapter Fitzgerald demonstrates the difference of worlds
