    Answer 11) The poem “the starry night” is inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s famous painting Starry Night. There is a lot of common group between the artist and the poets work.

    can sometimes feel like a downward spiral‚ or even an uphill road that never seems to end. This is what the poem “Uphill Road‚” by Christina Rossetti makes me consider. That even though the path may seem dark and endless‚ there is a light at the end of the it. The road may seem uphill and forever‚ but the easy way out is never the option. “Winds uphill all the way” which was mentioned in the poem reveals and prepares readers for a hard climb ahead. “Does the road wind up-hill all the way? Yes

    I thoroughly liked the poem "Loud Music" because it describes a simple bliss with so much detail that the story seems to come alive. It is simply the perspectives of two very different people and how they react to this loud music‚ or how they can see themselves in the noise. The author uses no restrictions‚ the imagery is animated and loud‚ just like real-life boisterous music‚ you can "witness" the "thick cloud making the water gray and restless"‚ and you can feel the throbbing‚ "hand smacking"

Many words are old english or made up entirely of Lewis Carroll own mind‚ so you unless you use old english you will not understand what the

    Bouchard’s poem Qu’Appelle‚ the tone of his narrative poem is personal. Bouchard did not use a consistent rhyme scheme which made his poem sound as if he were telling the story to his readers directly‚ differing from Johnson’s strict rhyme scheme that distanced itself from the audience. Furthermore‚ to create an intimate connection to the readers‚ Bouchard uses “you” to address his audience. He also made the story more personal by giving the main characters names: Ikciv and Witonia. Most remarkably

    The poem “The Great Figure” is short‚ only thirteen lines‚ and thirty-two words long‚ but it still conveys a lot. By the use of imagery and the construction of the poem the author‚ William Carlos Williams‚ makes you feel as if you were experiencing it first hand. The poem is full of sensory images that all contribute to the feel‚ not just the fact of the scene. The image of the fire truck is quick‚ and heavy with urgency‚ and yet there is the image of the golden number 5‚ which is completely in focus
