“Aunt Jennifer’s Tigers” by ADRIENNE RICH. When I saw the title of the poem‚ the first thing we can know is the speaker had an aunt named Jennifer. Also‚ I thought real tigers would be describing in the poem‚ and I wondered how could a woman rear some tigers. But after I saw the first line of the poem‚ I found out the tigers in the poem were not real. In the first stanza‚ we can see the speaker used the word “prance” to describe the move of the tigers‚ it made me imagine some happy and chill tigers. In

He uses his vocabulary‚ even the smallest words‚ to twist and turn the reader’s thoughts into this mass that doubles back on itself and produces a hatred for the war and a sadness for the speaker. In lines three through five‚ Weigl says “eventually/ You had to do something/Because it just kept piling up.” Not only does his use of the word “had” imply that the action necessary was more forceful than voluntary‚ but his vagueness with the words

"from orange and brown and all unearthly colours‚ banish them back to the test tube‚ save us from them‚" This section of the poem starting at line 16 shows the speaker’s frustration with the falsified beauty we force on ourselves. The speaker banishes them back to the test tube in effort to allow the natural to rise. This sort of frustration is evident throughout the poem; like when everyone seems preoccupied with the pseudo and doesn’t take notice to the simple and good things in life

Pure Hatred Towards an Inanimate Object In Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye‚ the speaker’s disdain for the doll is made evident through the drastic changes in tone throughout the piece‚ and the speaker’s use of sentences with many clauses to draw attention to key points. The tone of the piece‚ revealed through the connotations of abstract diction‚ mirrors the speaker’s thoughts towards the doll. The tone of the piece starts pleasant‚ containing words with positive connotations such as “special” and

The poem describes marriage as an archway that can withstand the forces of nature and gain its strength from two pillars that come together at one point.
