Often‚ according to Berger‚ dialect is incapable of describing what one is able to see. “Every image embodies a way of seeing” and those perceiving an image can also interpret it differently (Berger 142). Despite this seemingly open-minded view of seeing‚ Berger

Zach Porterfield Introduction to Media‚ Society‚ and the Arts John Berger’s Ways of Seeing Response John Berger has shown how to take any image‚ whether it is a painting‚ an advertisement‚ or a picture‚ and dissect it into a branching‚ almost fractal‚ network of deeper meanings.

However‚ this is not always the case‚ in fact‚ numerous poems can share the same theme or imagery while speaking of completely diverse things. Both H.D.’s (Hilda Doolittle) “Sea Rose” and Elizabeth Bishop’s “Vague Poem” have one obvious connection: Roses. But as a reader it is significant to analyze if there are any further similarities.
