If you compare the two poems “Casey at the Bat” and “David and the Goliath”‚ you will find some differences and similarities between the two. The first similarity between the two is that they both had faith that they would achieve their goal. In verse 36 David states “Sir‚ I have killed lions and bears that way‚ and I can kill this worthless Philistine”.

Jorge Luis Borges’ short story‚ “Borges and Myself‚” and Julia de Burgos’ poem‚ “To Julia de Burgos‚” are two self reflective pieces about their respective authors.

These elements - tone‚ metaphors‚ and allusions - are a means to accurately communicate the internal struggle they share. Both pieces use tone. In “Borges and

Discuss how effective the two poems are in showing a sense of cultural understanding and/or assimilation. Personally‚ I find Assimilation by Eugene Gloria is more effective than Returning in depicting cultural understanding as a state of recognising and appreciating the culture. In the former‚ the poet focuses on the presence of the “scattered rice beneath the red-painted bench”. Although those rice grains are left-overs from his previous meal‚ the poet still attachs some significance to them‚

interpreted meanings that most would look past without proper analyzation. I believe that this famous poem has more in-depth meanings other than just the concept of giving and receiving‚ and that we should take into account the various messages the author could have portrayed with this impactful piece of poetry. “Focus more on what you need than what you want‚” is a very important concept in this poem.

The Darkling Thrush Paraphrase and analyze the poem: Speaker: The speaker in the first two stanzas is portrayed as pessimistic and dark‚ but this changed in the two last stanzas. In any case‚ the speaker is conveyed to have strong feelings for nature. Form: Rhyming scheme is clearly visible giving to poem a rhythm. The 3rd stanza’s rhyming scheme seems to have been modified‚ if not a little disturbed having a not as good phonetic ending at the end of each stanza conveying the speaker’s disturbance
