“My Father‚ A Seafarer” In working on board the vessel‚ he gave his family a living of higher level. Father as the male human parent has the responsibility to find job to make his family live and a seafarer is the general term for men who work on ships at sea. Great fathers make great decisions. Giving his family a better living‚ achieving something in life and fulfilling his responsibilities as a father to his wife and four children are the reasons why my father chose this profession.

Promt: Compare the two versions of The Seafarer by Raffel and Pound and give reasoning for why one is a better translation‚ in terms of preserving the Anglo-Saxon poetic tradition and the overall feel of the poem. It would not be possible to translate The Seafarer perfectly‚ keeping all of its patently Anglo-Saxon poetic devices intact. Because much of their poetic tradition involves the sounds of the words themselves‚ unless there were similar-sounding synonyms in modern English for each there

The theme of these two poems are closely related that it would make sense that the authors could have known each other’s stories and were writing them to have similar structure and purpose. The three major comparisons that I mostly captured from both poems are exile‚ abandoned mead-halls‚ and the ending

Of the three poems The Seafarer‚ The Wanderer‚ and The Wife’s Lament‚ The Seafarer is the best poem. The Seafarer is about a man working at sea. The author describes his sadness about working at the sea in the cold. In The Seafarer the author describes his sadness about his situation makes this the best poem. I can really imagine what he describes. The purpose of the Seafarer is to tell his story about his need for money. He describes that he misses the way life used to be. His focus shifts to how

missionaries arrived in Britain. They spread quickly‚ influenced in agricultural.

I think Caspar Friedrich’s Wanderer above the Sea of Fog‚ the first painting‚ is a depiction of the unforeseeable nature of the future. Because Wanderer literally translates to "hiker" instead of necessarily "one who wanders‚" the subject isn’t necessarily aimless or lost. This painting is likely a self-portrait depicting Friedrich’s view of the future. He is pictured in a fairly neutral stance‚ not particularly indicative of the magnitude of ambition seen in other paintings‚ so I think one can
