Poetry: Always And Forever
Number of words: 393 - Number of pages: 2.... I think of how to describe to you.
Something I hardly understand,
But I must tell you how I feel.
So I close my eyes,
And let my heart guide my hand.
Perhaps the tears that falls from my eyes,
Will show you my love and how much it means to me.
To me our love is everything.
I believe love will find it's way and show us the answers
To the questions being revealed,
I promise you that I will always love you
And I never meant to hurt you.
I know you love me,
I can see it in your ey .....

A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning: Love Between Two People
Number of words: 1092 - Number of pages: 4.... the separation of the lovers be like this separation caused by death. In the second stanza the speaker furthers his comparison for a peaceful separation. “So let us melt, and make no noise” (line 5) refers to the melting of gold by a goldsmith or alchemist. When gold is melted it does not sputter and is therefore quiet. The speaker and his love should not display their private, intimate love as “tear-floods, nor sigh-tempests move” (line 6). The speaker thinks that it would be a “profanation” (line 7) to reveal the sacred love he shares with his lady. It would be similar to p .....

How Do Textual Features Combine To Convey A Theme Of The Poem?
Number of words: 760 - Number of pages: 3.... “
lodged... useless” within him because of his new blindness. As a result, Milton
begins to question God, “Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?” Milton
wonders as to the meaning of his blindness; Does God want him to continue to
write, even with his blindness, or what does God really mean? At first his tone
seems harsh, but his feelings are redirected as he answers his own questions in
time. His last question to God, was answered by himself as he realizes that he
cannot blame God for his actions. His figurative language from the point he
begins to question, up to where .....

Compare And Contrast: "Dead Man's Dump" By Rosenberg And "dulce Et Decorum Est" By Owen
Number of words: 1155 - Number of pages: 5.... a sound, one of the soldier is still alive. He
begs the cavalry to hasten their search and find him. The troops hear him and
begin to come barreling around the bend only to hear the dying soldier murmur
his last screams. In "Dulce," the regiment are tired and marching like "old
hags" because they are fatigued. As the enemy discovers them they attack by
dropping a gas bomb on the men. As they scatter for their masks one man doesn't
quite make it. He goes through an agonizing process of dying. Like the
soldier in Rosenberg's poem his cries out for his troops, his friends, to help

Sir Gawain And The Green Knight
Number of words: 1153 - Number of pages: 5.... They see him as a hero and a savior of their leader King Arthur. Gawain only sees himself, as a normal everyday soldier that is only doing his duty by protecting faith in the monarchy that he is apart of. Gawain is a very humble person who will refuse to view himself as a hero.
The main test that Gawain is going to have to face is a test within himself. During the time before he had to make the journey to meet the Green
Knight Gawain heard from fellow knights that he was brave and strong. In reality they were very happy that it was not they making the journey, and they had no expectatio .....

The Personification And Criticism Of Death In John Donne's "Death Be Not Proud."
Number of words: 573 - Number of pages: 3.... with death, "for thou art not so. /
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow/ Die not, poor Death, nor
yet canst thou kill me" (ll 2-4), Donne defies death's power. He is so bold
as to mock death, calling it "poor death" (l 4), giving death the sense and
personification of being deficient in that it cannot kill Donne.
In the second quatrain, Donne continues his critique of death. He
questions death that if sleep or rest is a pleasure of life, then what
greater pleasure can death bring? "Much pleasure, then from thee much
pleasure must flow" (l 6). Donne also gives death credit tha .....

Shapiro's "Auto Wreck": Interpretation
Number of words: 529 - Number of pages: 2.... jungle is the twisted, black, and crisp auto wreck. This depiction of
the auto wreck is extravag ant and almost unreal. Using metaphors, Shapiro
portrays the fantasy-like auto wreck in which wildness is indispensable.
In addition to Shapiro's use of metaphorical phrases, he emphasizes
the lack of comprehension of the on-lookers as a result of death's
inconsistency with logic. Shapiro directly tells the reader, "We are
deranged." The word "we" symbolizes u s, as a whole institution or better
yet -- society. He goes on further to say, "Our throats were tight as
tourniquets." .....

Millay Vs Cummings
Number of words: 221 - Number of pages: 1.... Is First, Cumming's theme is just the
opposite. Cummings is saying we should enjoy life by acting like a fool and not
talin things seriously.
Millay stresses the unimportance of feelin. "life must go on,/ And the dead by
forgotten" (15-16). Cummmings attitude is totally different. He believes that
feelings are very important. Cummings streeses that being foolish is better
than being smart and serious: "and kisses are better fate/ than wisdom."(8-9)
Millay uses simple language, where as cummings uses more complete language. In
"Lament," Millay stresses her point by usingan unusual .....

Dulce Et Decorum Est: Analysis Of Military Life
Number of words: 695 - Number of pages: 3.... men at all. A person would be oblivious to this fact,
however, if they relied on Owen's descriptive text alone concerning the
way he saw his fellow soldiers in combat while describing his chimera, for
they were "knock-kneed, coughing like hags"and "bent double, like old
beggars under sacks". These words don't necessarily bring to mind a
healthy 17-year old boy, does it? The other words he used- "drunk" "lame"
and "blind,"- all showed soldiers' impaired state, and held both
denotative meanings and connotative meanings in their vagueness, especially
the word "blind," which, in my opinion .....

I Knew A Woman: An Analysis
Number of words: 967 - Number of pages: 4.... emphasizing the natural sound and feel to the poem as well as the natural softness to her disposition. In the third stanza, this is most obvious: "She played it quick, she played it light and loose; / My eyes, they dazzled at her flowing knees; / Her several parts could keep a pure repose, / Or one hip quiver with a mobile nose / (She moved in circles, and those circles moved)." Here, there are almost a dozen leading or strong trailing "s"'s weaving through the words, outlining the form one can picture as her "several parts keep a pure repose" and "one hip quiver"s as she "moved in c .....
