Sociological Analysis of “Crash” Paul Haggis created an excellent film that depicts stories of subtle racism showing through in today’s America. In his film‚ characters with different racial backgrounds collide with each other. He ingeniously titled his film “Crash” (2004).

The tone of “The Dover Bitch” mocks “Dover Beach”. While the tone of Hecht’s poems is light and humorous‚ Arnold’s poem is extremely sad and melancholy. For example look at the title first of all “The Dover Bitch” is mocking “Dover Beach”. Secondly the structure of the poem is completely different‚ “The Dover Bitch” in my eyes is “less formal” because the language is less formal and also there are no stanzas to separate the different moods or portions of the poem.
