"Araby" Backgrounds Introduction Ireland’s major religion‚ Roman Catholicism‚ dominated Irish culture‚ as it continues to do today although to a lesser extent. Many families sent their children to schools run by Jesuit priests (like the one the narrator in attends) and convent schools run by nuns (like the one Mangan’s sister attends). Catholicism is often seen as a source of the frequent conflict in Irish culture between sensuality and asceticism‚ a conflict that figures prominently in Joyce’s

The excerpts from Elegiac Sonnets by Charlotte Smith come across as very sad. From the four separate readings by her it is seemed like Smith was maybe depressed. Beginning with Written as the Close of Spring the beginning is beautiful with talk about flowers blooming and spring. Then‚ begging at line 9 it gets sad. She begins talking about humanity and how frail and fair it is. She is talking about how when we age we loose our youth and don’t bud anymore‚ as flowers do. The next excerpt in Charlotte

Dawson College Work presented to Mr. Roy Cartlidge English 101 10/18/06 An explanation of Sonnet CXXX The poem I chose to analyze is Sonnet CXXX (130) by William Shakespeare. This poem can be seen as either a humorous tribute to his lover or a way to mock other poets of his time. I say humorous because there is no use of over the top metaphors or allusions as he does not compare his love to a goddess nor compare her beauty to rare and beautiful objects found in nature.

“Sonnet CXXX” is a spoof of the typical love sonnets written by Shakespeare’s contemporaries. It ridicules the senseless depictions that poets gave their lovers whereas in comparison the speaker in “Sonnet CXXX‚” illustrates his mistress with honest comments. These remarks declare her “true” character and show the speaker’s absolute and total adoration for her because of it.

William Shakespeare’s use of language in Sonnet 18 establishes an endearing tone in the poem. Firstly‚ the author uses diction in the text to support this tone of endearingness.

His word choice is enforcing the loving tone of the text. The phrase “shall not fade” further nailing in the idea of eternal love. Secondly‚ William Shakespeare uses specific

Shakespeare’s Sonnet 19 In his Sonnet 19‚ Shakespeare presents the timeless theme of Time’s mutability. As the lover apostrophizes Time‚ one might expect him to address "old Time" as inconstant‚ for such an epithet implies time’s changeability. But inconstant also suggests capricious‚ and the lover finds time more grave than whimsical in its alterations. With the epithet "devouring" he addresses a greedy‚ ravenous hunger‚ a Time that is wastefully destructive. Conceding to Time its wrongs‚ the
