    ‘The value of poetry lies in its ability to illuminate the world within’ Do you agree? The value of W.B. Yeatspoetry lies within his ability to illuminate a world within –a transcendent salvation for beauty‚ longevity and order arising from a world ridden by anarchical change; A salvation that shapes and preserves his poignant and lyrical confrontations by enlightening the fraught arguments of the human heart.

    Style Wars Style wars is a film that documents a number of young graffiti artists who were transforming the city with their unique art. They used the city’s subway system as a canvas and let their work be seen in all five boroughs of New York. This film is a great film that documents that time in history. It is difficult for me to side with them or be against them. I am also an artist and I know how it feels when you have to feed that hunger and the only way to do it is to perform it. I

    In W. B. Yeats’ poem ’Father and Daughter’ the speaker is apparently the father of a young daughter who is in relations with a boy or man without her father’s blessing.

He is also the kind of father who wants the best for his little girl‚ not being afraid of firm disciplinary actions to help his daughter grow in the right direction. The problem the father has with his daughter is her relations with someone

    Kendra Hamilton Block 5 Mrs. Hodges 15 December 2015 Langston Hughes “Harlem” Poetry Explication The most obvious quality of Langston Hughes’ "Harlem" is the poem’s use of imagery. The imagery in this poem contributes to the image of the frustrating times of how dreams end up for African Americans during this time period. The speaker in the poem describes the fate of a dream being “deferred.” Langston Hughes uses several analogies to describe the image of a dream that might have happened but didn’t

    Discuss ways in which Yeats presents the faery world in ‘The Stolen Child’. In the poem ‘The Stolen Child’ Yeats presents the faery world as an idyllic place surrounded by ‘rocky highland’ where you can escape the outside world that is ‘full of weeping’. However‚ as the poem progresses we discover that there may be something more sinister lurking in the shadows of this ‘leafy island’ that leaves the child ‘solemn eyed’. We also learn that maybe the real world isn’t that bad after all. This poem

    Unseen Poetry (Road 1940 by Sylvia Townsend Warner) a. The poet begins each stanza by ‘she said’ to convey to the reader about the woman’s feelings like in the first stanza ‘Who do I carry‚ she said‚ This child that is no child of mine’ showing her bewilderment as to why she picked up the child. The use of ‘she’ indicates the poem is written in a third person perspective‚ which is striking‚ as the reader knows only the thoughts and feelings of the woman‚ while other characters such as the child

    Poetry Analysis On This Day I Complete My Thirty-Sixth Year The poem is quick to assert that‚ maybe even provide a caveat‚ that one should take their life seriously and live their life to the fullest. It’s interesting that Byron beings to reflect on his life at this age‚ and I find it even more interesting that the poem was written on the last year he would live. One thing Byron emphasizes heavily on this poem is love and compassion. His first lines are an admittance that he does not have a

    Poetry is an unusually polarizing form of literature. While many are elated by it‚ others could not care less about it. To me‚ I always considered myself to be one of the latter. However‚ now that I have been given the opportunity to select poems I admire instead of being forced to know a poem‚ I have started to really enjoy certain aspects of poetry. The poems I chose for my anthology were ones that I had an instant connection with‚ but also had a deeper meaning. The five poems I selected were
