2012 The Wonders of Autumn In autumn‚ the leaves begin to gradually shift from greens to bright oranges‚ yellows‚ and reds. The air gets chilly‚ forcing people to bring out their warm‚ fleecy coats‚ as winter is just around the bend. The air is fresh and also mixed with the smell of corn and beans as farmers bring out their rumbling combines and lazy tractors and begin the harvest. Autumn is a beautiful season. The trees and their leaves are probably my favorite part about autumn. The bright oranges

Commentary on Field of Autumn Advancing like a silent threat‚ the onset of winter is presented throughout the poem as a season with sinister intent. The “acid breath of noon” approaches in a “Slow” manner‚ as if sneaking up on autumn. The personification of the “acid breath” not only suggests to the reader the fog is murderous‚ but one could be lead to imagine that the fog is poison gas. This is because “Field of Autumn” was published in 1947‚ two years after the Second World War; clearly the memory

Close Reading Assignment: John Keats: “On Fame” John Keats talks about fame and the desire of people to posses it. He compares fame to a woman and the desire of people for fame is compared to men’s lust to women. John Keats as the speaker presents an “as matter-of-fact” tone.

To many‚ Wordsworth and Coleridge are seen as the fathers of English Romanticism as they were the first to publish literary works that were seen as romantic with Lyrical Ballads in 1798. Yet although John Keats was only born in 1795‚ he still contributed much to the Romantic Movement and is in essence regarded just as highly as William Wordsworth. One can argue

With careful examination one can see that Keats used the first quatrain to describe a state of utter confusion‚ the
