Nature‚ something of which can run rampant yet can be elegant‚ a feeling which may course through every being of this planet. Mary Oliver not only embraced it‚ she displayed it. She was a poet who wrote “Winter and the Nuthatch”‚ a poem which unveiled acceptance and bonds. The nuthatch represents the wilderness of nature‚ which then portrays the bond between humans and nature and the mere feeling of acceptance. The poem clearly represents the sincerity of our human bonds whilst also showing humanity

Summer Reading Response AP Literature For my summer reading poet‚ I chose Mary Oliver. I find I relate better to the works of female authors and she was one of the only two on the list of options. After hearing phrases like “America’s best-selling poet” and “one of the best writers of the century” to describe her‚ I was not sure of what to expect. However‚ after reading one of her works for the first time‚ a poem called “The Journey”‚ I knew that I‚ a not so avid reader and an inexperienced

the Forest‚” by Mary Oliver and “Ode to enchanted light‚” by Pablo Neruda‚ they both convey their appreciation for nature. This can be illustrated by comparing and contrasting their use of figurative language and form. In the poems‚ figurative language is used as a technique in both poems. In “Sleeping in the Forest‚” and “Ode to enchanted light‚” the authors utilize similes. In the quote‚ “But my thoughts‚ and they floated/ light as moths among the branches‚” (172) Mary Oliver compares

Forest’ by Mary Oliver‚ the poet uses figurative language and sound devices to create a well organized and meaningful poem. When comparing poems a reader must always examine the text and look for specific word choice‚ sound devices‚ and form of structure that will make up a good poem. Both poets use similar styles of work choice. Neruda and Oliver both use figurative language to create an image in their poems. In‚ "they floated light as moths among the branches of the perfect trees"(Oliver‚ lines 9-11)

At first the purpose of the passage “Owls” by Mary Oliver is difficult to pinpoint. This is because Oliver begins with describing the penetrating fear of a “terrible” (33) great horned owl‚ and suddenly develops into a section discussing a desultory and trivial field of flowers. The mystifying comparison between the daunting fear of nature and its impeccable beauty is in fact Oliver’s purpose. Oliver uses hyperbole in her lyrical and poetic diction to convey her true feelings about nature. She

The poem "Wild Geese" by Mary Oliver (pg 40) immediately grabbed my attention after reading the first line: You do not have to be good. It’s effective how the first word is “you‚” because it really feels like the author is speaking directly to the reader. The message that Oliver tries to get across is that we have to let the soft animal of our body love what it loves to love. In other words‚ we must not worry so much about society’s approval‚ but rather focus more on ourselves and taking advantage

Savoldo’s portrayal of Mary Magdalene is one that leaves the audience to interpret for themselves what they feel when looking into the eyes of Magdalene and what they think her story is. The portrait by Savoldo uses illuminating colors‚ silk fabrics‚ and vulnerable positioning to create a profound sense of mystery and intimacy between Mary Magdalene and the audience. Savoldo making the fabrics that Magdalene is wearing have a silk texture creates an assumption for the audience that she was a very

The Virgin Mary; to some she could be identified as the mother of all beings‚ she could be described as divine‚ uplifting‚ powerful‚ pure‚ humble‚ compassionate‚ selfless‚ and she holds many other attributes that make her a great mother. However‚ Mary was not classified by just her attributes and characteristics‚ the reason she is described as such is because of her experiences with the world and how they perceived her through these acts. In my eyes my mother is not a “mother Teresa” or a “virgin
