Write a critical appreciation of the poem INCENDIARY by Vernon Scannell. You should comment on theme‚ diction‚ tone and structure. An incendiary is a bomb which sets things on fire‚ which gets across the idea that the boy was like a dangerous weapon‚ ready to explode at any time. This poem is about a boy who sets a farm on fire in hope that he receives the attention he has been longing for. In the first line‚ the poet describes the boy to have a face “like pallid cheese”.

poetry within an English classroom context. The main theme of the poem is discrimination‚ and the poem focuses on the poet’s views and aspects of society’s opinion on an individual that does not necessarily meet all of their requirements.

The church was constantly telling society what they were not supposed to do and trying to dictate every aspect of their lives‚ which took joy out of many things in life. This further separated man from God. The last two lines‚ with their meter and rhyme pattern‚ sum up what Blake saw as the threat of losing the ’joys and desires’ of childhood innocence: unless we can develop our creative imagination to replace that lost innocence‚ we will lose the essence of life

Compare and Contrast The Two Poems "Island Man" and "The Fringe Of The Sea" I recently read two poems entitled "Island Man" and "The Fringe Of The Sea". They are both similar in theme‚ but they also have many differences. Both poems are based on the emotions of people who live near the sea and their feelings towards it. This theme relates to both of the authors‚ and connects them; the author of "The Fringe Of The Sea"‚ A.L. Hendricks‚ was born in Jamaica and later in life moved to Britain. Grace

In The Laboratory‚ the courtesan chooses poison as her murder weapon. Poison is often the weapon of choice for female killers. It requires little or no physical strength to administer‚ and can be done secretly. It also leaves little evidence thus making it difficult to detect the culprit.

She’s not little‚ no minion like

Both "The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd" poem by Raleigh and "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love" poem by Marlow are written in the same structure and they contain most of the same elements‚ but they differ in the purpose; one is an invitation and the other one answer it.

to show that both guitar and woman are ‘play’ by man. I love those meaning. Also‚ to me‚ the poet describes the poem in soft tone. There is a use of synecdoche; we can see in the fourth line: “wire and wood” is used instead of guitar. There are 4 rhyme schemes: bent-ment‚ could-wood‚ might-light and say-play. I think these also make the poem sound

the mellow sunshine of autumn‚ then comes the surprise of finding a snake in their midst. But there is no sudden movement or strong emotion expressed so there is no change in the structure either. The poem has four quatrains with a traditional rhyme scheme of abab‚ cdcd‚ efef in the first three stanzas but the fourth stanza is ghhg.

‘HUNTING SNAKE’. The verbal connotation(of Hunting) evokes an image of the reptile being hunted yet it is in the adjectival sense that Judith Wright chooses to perceive the word as she expresses her appreciation for this creature of predatorial character.The impact of the poem in conveying Wright’s sense of the righteous conservationist she was in her lifetime is no less than the whiplash of that very creature. The utopian setting of the poet and her companion on a walk is ascribed to ‘la grace

New Criticism on Poison Tree “A Poison Tree" is rightly an extended metaphor to describe the poet’s mental and emotional attitude towards enemy and the conflict between his inner and appearances.

So we know that the central conflict in the poem is probably between friendship
