Emilia Lanyer's The Description Of Cooke-Ham

I also feel like that one sentence alone shows you how much thinking you have to do when reading his poems. I did some reading on some of his other poems and they all are worded the same way. “The Raven” is so unique because of how dark it is. In my opinion this poem is really touching and sad at the same time because it teaches you about how bad grief can affect you. I mean the passing of his wife might have had something to do with the way he acted but you never really

OVERVIEW 116 Through my created text, I examined Molly Dunnage's revelation of her daughter, Tilly Dunnage’s, true parentage, and recount of being stalked to Dungatar by her previous lover and father of her child, Evan Pettyman. I transformed the mentioned scene from Rosalie Ham’s The Dressmaker into a diary entry and presented it through a different lens and point in time. Where Ham explained the situation through Molly’s perspective when Tilly was ten years of age, I delivered the event from Evan’s point of view when he initially became aware of Molly’s pregnancy. Doing so assisted me in producing a comprehensive text with details about Evan’s depraved character and his motives behind stalking Molly, something The Dressmaker lacked.

This is evident due the quote “my lover’s gift to me.”. The speaker refers to her husband as her “Lover” which shows her sheer admiration for him. The poems share the same theme, but present in a wildly contrasting

The conflicting interests of the mother and the father result in a situation where one must make a sacrifice in order to preserve the connection in the family. The flat depressed tone of the poem reflects the mother’s unhappiness and frustration about having to constantly

On the other hand Mrs. Grape was regarded as the most beautiful woman in town, but after her husband’s suicide, she gained weight. She gained so much weight; she became obese and therefore ‘deformed’. Her obesity was through no fault but her own because she used food as a coping mechanism with her husband’s death years

‘Annabel Lee’ by Edgar Allan Poe is an eminently beautiful yet tragic poem centred around the theme of a forbidden love between two people, and the many obstacles that they overcome in order to be together. At the same time the poem relates back to a man’s undying love for his wife in which even death is unable to hinder. From the beginning of the poem, I realized Poe to be an articulate person who has a beautiful way with words, as he describes the origin of his love story between himself and Annabel Lee. This was shown in Stanza 1 where I identified him to be a kind and doting person, as he continues to talk about a maiden from the kingdom by the sea whom only wished to love and be loved by Poe. As this was written by Poe and shown from

In Katherine Paterson’s novel, “Lyddie”, the main character must survive and make decisions that will affect her and how she lives. Lyddie was a thirteen year old girl, and her father had left the family. While Lyddie’s mother and younger siblings had gone to their aunt’s home for the winter, Lyddie and her brother Charlie decide stay to take care of it. However, during Spring, both Lyddie and Charlie were demanded to go to work to pay off their family's debts. Lyddie is taken to a tavern of which she meets Triphena ( the cook ) and Mrs. Cutler.

You let him take her?” said Celia, ‘(132). Gee utilizes simple sentences in order to express the reaction of Celia towards Paul’s loss of Joyce Poole. This quote demonstrates Celial’s ‘casual’’ way of reacting to a problem of Paul’s. It seems that she does not take it as seriously. However, this example of humour and casualty reflects the difference between herself and the other

This poem has an apparent rhyme scheme. The last word in each line rhymes with the last word in the line directly under it. This lets the reader almost sing through the poem. There is a very nonchalant tone and feel to the poem. The lack of detail in the poem lets the readers imagination create the situation in which the person dies.

The literary elements in this poem add to the effect the poem has on the reader, which can be different for everyone, but it makes the reader reflect on their own life and how kindness has changed

The speaker's reflections on his past love with Annabel Lee and the memories they shared together are a reminder of the love they once shared, and the pain of loss that comes with the death of a loved one. The language used by Poe is melancholic and sorrowful, as seen in lines like "But our love it was stronger by far than the love/Of those who were older than we", "And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes" which convey the speaker's longing for his lost love and the emptiness he feels without her. Additionally, the imagery of the "kingdom by the sea" and "a wind blew out of a cloud, chilling" are symbols that reinforce the sadness of the mood by depicting nature as a reminder of death, cold, and

Imagery and tone plays a huge role for the author in this poem. It’s in every stanza and line in this poem. The tone is very passionate, joyful and tranquil.

As Lauryn Hill sings, "A Change is Gonna Come" the listener can adhere to her emotional distress expressed in her tone. Her sympathetic and hopeful tone, connects with the listener and allows them to experience her personal struggle. Therefore giving them a deep understanding of her message to the listener. Taking the listener into her very impoverished life; she describes her mother's financial troubles, such as paying the rent. Hill's rendition of the song connects to those with every day struggles similar to those described in the song.

Firstly, in the poem “I Cut My Finger on Purpose”, Lucille’s daughter says she burned herself without a wince (Dove,28). This continuation of heat which causes Lucille pain until she is no longer phased by it adds significance to Rita Dove’s overall message of strength women possess. The pain she felt at the stove is representative of the hardships that strengthen her such as her husband’s alcoholism and domestic duties. In addition, the woman walking down the street in her skirt ignores the men and their crude comments. She “sweats and struts down the sidewalk”.

*INTRO* *BLACK ROOK IN RAINY WEATHER* “Black Rook in Rainy Weather” is focused on her feelings and thoughts, her lack of inspiration – although it appears as if she is writing about the outside world. She uses her nearby surroundings as a metaphor for her feelings and ideas. Plath feels empty and longs for nature and her mundane surroundings to ‘speak’ to her, to provide her with inspiration for her poetry “A minor light may still lean incandescent out of kitchen table or chair as if a celestial burning took possession of the most obtuse objects now and then…” She is in a state of desperation, and describes her life as a “season of fatigue” with “brief respites from fear of total neutrality.” The poem is suffused with her fear of failing.
