Both poets have stylishly fashioned poems which revolve around the common underlying theme of war‚ but each poet has employed different devices of both language or style and form to create poems which‚ while on the same theme‚ relate starkly different messages. “The Dead-Beat” (Poem A) is about a situation whereby a major war is happening and the persona is at lost‚ not knowing what to do – just shooting his weapons around (hoping to kill his enemies) before he himself died whereas “Killers” (Poem

He does so by using his omnipotence over nature to cast hail stones upon them. When scriptures were originally written‚ people had no real idea of the natural

Accordingly‚ it’s the primary goal of this brief article to differentiate the concepts of self-interest and selfishness: to praise the concept of self-interest as the catalyst of moral action‚ therefore worthy of admiration; and thus to admonish selfishness as the instigator which often leads to immorality and inconsiderate hedonism. Consequently‚ containing these two sentiments from one another in order to redeem the term self-interest and to specify its appropriateness becomes an intellectual

This diction choice of "presumed" also takes away the omniscience of God by not being fully confident that God knows what you have done wrong. Although this sentiment of asking God for forgiveness on an unknown fault is known to Bradstreet‚ she embraces this action as necessary in her relationship with God. She

The title is not subtle in hiding the fact that the plot of the poem is of a mother beating her son. The tone of the poem is very violent‚ and filled with a lot of anger. The boy’s character immediately demands sympathy from the reader and just as instantaneously‚ the mother is hated by the reader. From his first stanza‚ to his sixth‚ Hayden utilizes an arsenal

The Doctrine of God What I learned about the Doctrine of God is God’s existence‚ first of all. God existence is definitely taken for granted in the Bible.
