Love Is Forever
Number of words: 431 - Number of pages: 2.... repetition, a very lovely mood, some good visual imagery, and of course lines something that every poem has. I thought that the first and second line was very good visual imagery "written with a pen sealed with a kiss". It show how it really happened and was done. Through out the whole poems was a loved filled mood. Lines 13, 15, 16, and 19 all start with "I'll". Every words has something rhyming with it except the first and third line. Most of the rhyming is "you" and "true".
This poems could be used for many metaphor. I have a personal metaphor. It is comparing my love to Nancy, to the .....

Beowulf: An Epic Hero
Number of words: 716 - Number of pages: 3.... the
Danes for twelve years, with his bare hands by ripping off his arm. When
Beowulf is fighting Grendel's mother, who is seeking revenge on her son's
death, he is able to slay her by slashing the monster's neck with a
Giant's sword that can only be lifted by a person as strong as Beowulf.
When he chops off her head, he carries it from the ocean with ease, but it
takes four men to lift and carry it back to Herot mead-hall. This strength
is a key trait of Beowulf's heroism.
Another heroic trait of Beowulf is his ability to put his peoples
welfare before his own. Beowulf's uncle is king .....

Her father's death in 1940 from gangrene ( the consequence of a diabetic condition that he refused to treat), Plath was only eight years old, this was the crucial event of her childhood. In her poem "Daddy" we see Plath's imaginative transformations of experience into myths where the figure of her Prussian father is transformed into an emblem for masculine authority.
"Every woman adores a fascist,
The boot in the face the brute
Brute heart of a brute like you." (48-50)
Sylvia Plath wanted to become a writer at a time when women were expected to devote their lives to homemaking and mot .....

My Interpretation Of Frost's "Birches"
Number of words: 871 - Number of pages: 4.... I enjoy how he offers such different interpretations for the appearance of the bark. My personal favorite is the shattering of the dome in heaven. I think this creates a vivid image for the reader. He goes on to say that once the branches are bent, they never return completely upright again, but they are so flexible that they never break. “You may see their trunks arching in the woods/ Years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground." These are some of the natural phenomenon’s that Frost mentions to explain the appearance of Birch trees.
Frost then goes on to offer a more fanta .....

Blake's "London" And "The Garden Of Love"
Number of words: 1810 - Number of pages: 7.... all of that. As a social critic, he wrote many poems
condemning the hypocrisy between these two worlds, for example, "The
Chimney Sweeper," "London," and "The Garden of Love."
In "London," Blake reveals that this hypocrisy has robbed the world
of innocence and spirit. In the first two lines, Blake repeats the word
"charter'd." He uses this repetition to stress the mechanical behavior of
the world around him. The word "charter" has connotations of something that
can be sold or hired for money. Blake is connecting this idea with the
chartered rights of
Englishmen given .....

Ballad Of Birmingham
Number of words: 1087 - Number of pages: 4.... to help
better the lives of the African Americans. Randall also focuses on specific
culture here. The speaker is allowing the reader to make a mental picture of one
specific march in Birmingham (Hunter 17). But, you know as well as I, that with
peace marches and rallies comes violence and hostility. This is exactly what the
little girls mother is afraid of, this is why she will not let her go to the
march. It also seems weird that her mother is so sure that going to church,
instead of going to the march, will be the best thing for her. (Hunter 19-20).
Typically, a church is to be a very safe .....

Dickinson's Poem #465: Buzzing Bye
Number of words: 629 - Number of pages: 3.... The introduction of this fly - a part of the world she has closed out - signals that her life is not quite complete. Perhaps she has not succeeded in gaining final closure.
There comes a time in life when it is necessary to conclude that the focus of existence is complete and decide what to do with the times that follow. The speaker considers the time following this conclusion a period for closure while waiting for her death to arrive. In lines 2-4: “The Stillness in the Room Was like the Stillness in the Air-Between the Heaves of Storm-” Dickinson is using the metaphor of time betw .....

Ceremonies In "The Waste Land"
Number of words: 1243 - Number of pages: 5.... the event is very rich and vivid: red, sweaty, stony. These words evoke an event that is without the cares of modern life- it is primal and hot. A couple of lines later Eliot talks of "red sullen faces sneer and snarl/ From doors of mudcracked houses" (ll. 344-345). These lines too seem to contain language that has a primal quality to it.
From the primal roots of ceremony Eliot shows us the contrast of broken ceremonies. Some of these ceremonies are broken because they are lacking vital components. A major ceremony in The Waste Land is that of sex. The ceremony of sex .....

A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning
Number of words: 747 - Number of pages: 3.... causes damage and people regard it serious. The movement of the heavenly spheres is far greater, fiercer, 'cause it is harmless, people consider it innocent. I think (I do not know if I was right?) the author intended to indicate that death is just like the earthquake-brings harms and sorrow. Earthquake is not so common, when it happens, people are scared of it. On the other hand, when facing the death, human always feel nervous and sad, all they think is the miserable separation, seldom of them think that people can still promote the form of love to a higher spiritual standard. Deat .....
