Melody is the key component of any song. In my opinion the melody is the identity of a song. I believe music could not exist without melody: It is like having a body but not the brain to help the body function.

In the poem‚ “The Summer Day”‚ by Mary Oliver‚ there are many examples poetic devices that are extremely effective and help to reinforce the thematic theme of the poem.

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
