How does Hardy use language and poetic form to convey meaning and ideas in ‘Wagtail and Baby’? The poem ‘Wagtail and baby’ is a commentary of the observations from the perspective of an infant by the side of a ford. The focus of the baby is the wagtail and it watches as various animals approach it.

The word “And” appears in this poem more than six times just in the first stanza alone which keeps the rhythm of the meter constant. In my opinion‚ I believe that the narrator

The first song I chose was “Crazy Blues” by Catherine Russell. In my opinion‚ the simplicity of the song really allows you to hear and understand the actual lyrics of the song. The beginning of the song or the intro is the sound of the piano which leads right into the first verse of Catherine Russell’s really beautiful voice. The piano closes out the song in the end as well. This song was a slower tempo but I think it definitely worked well because it allowed you to feel what she was singing about

Through the use of similes and imagery‚ Coffin argues that though death is inevitable and emotions are overwhelming‚ one must persevere. In the first section of the poem‚ Coffin uses his word choice‚ similes‚ imagery‚ and a gloomy tone to convey the theme. The imagery is being created mostly by Coffin’s word choice and partly by some similes being used. The simile lines‚ like “two birds on golden legs slim as dream things” ( Coffin 6 ) and “ran like quicksilver on the golden sand” ( Coffin 7 )‚

In the section I selected from ‘Us and Them‚’ the author‚ David Sedaris‚ uses a plethora of literary devices to comedically depict a mundane conversation and a boy’s mother’s reaction to it. The conversation depicted in the passage‚ and its following few lines‚ are perfect representations of the flow of feelings produced by uncomfortable conversation. Throughout the passage‚ the author makes consistent use of hyperbolic statements for comedic effect‚ both overtly and covertly. The first‚ and perhaps

Shakespeare’s Sonnet 30‚ he uses a wide variety of poetic devices to help communicate the theme of the poem. The major theme that I feel the author is trying to convey is one of remembrance‚ mourning for a lost loved one. One of the more obvious devices used is the Metrical Pattern of the Iambic Pentameter. This is a major staple of the Shakespeare Sonnet‚ and commonly found in nearly every sonnet that he has written. In this essay we will focus on only two major devices that were used‚ and how they tie into
