.... Browning in this case, represents the case as a whole. The decision the jury must make between what is actually right and what the lawyers imply to be right is the same one the reader of a dramatic monologue must make. Browning's Dramatic Lyrics is a collection of poems in which many are written in dramatic monologue. "Porphyria's Lover" is a poem from Dramatic Lyrics critics often cite when explaining dramatic monologue. Because of it, the reader is pulled between what the speaker thinks is right and what really is. Robert Browning's perfection of dramatic monologue and use of a dramati .....

.... she describes it as her house. In the end she is looking back, and sees how centuries have passed, yet she isn't passing by anymore, and to her this hundred years seems as no time at all. Finally she accepts her death, and is able to pass into eternity. To her death wasn't harsh like some see it, but a kindly, gentle soul, taking her for a carriage ride to her final home. A child experiences death much differently than an adult. Children aren't quite able to see death as the sad even that it is. "First Death in Nova Scotia" tells of a young boys death, and his cousins view of it. We .....

.... generationless song of the nightingale and the “cold Pastoral” ageless marble scenes on the Grecian Urn, considered by may to be among the “best” of his poetry. Ex: His best poetry is composed largely of representations of representations, meditations “on” objects or texts that are themselves reflections of other artists’ creative acts (Scott, xi). The product of these artists are indeed timeless and eternal, something Keats was very aware, both in presence of other artists works and in the absence of his own. As Keats tries to create for himself a place among these eternal ar .....

.... original type of rhythm, and oddly structured, prosaic poetry that emphasized key phrases and images.(clc 35, 338) Sandburg was the first of a long line of poets and authors to use the words and phrases that he created in his poetry. Sandburg's style of writing is what changed the course of American poetry. Before Sandburg, most poetry and other literary works were considerably similar, along with dull and boring. He carried poetry to "new horizons." He, many times, wrote of reality, which was not always what people wanted to read, but it was reality and it had to be dealt with. This i .....

.... where he watched from outside, entered, and then killed two girls and wounded two others. Just as Bundy had done, Grendel watched and surveyed from the distance. He waited outside the great hall, listening to the mirth and celebration from within. He hated them. The revelers inside felt no "misery of men." They were not uninvited, outcast, and below the social class of Hrothgar's company. These feelings of inadequacy propel Grendel to slaughter those who oppress him. For "twelve winters" he smashes bodies and eats his victims, creating a bloody rampage and a dire need for a savior .....

.... as seen by the French, was a land of golden opportunities available to every child regardless of social standing. It was the basis for our country to survive. It safeguarded our standing in the world. Mike Rose’s school offered quite the opposite. It was a haven for long standing views on school being selective as to whom actually deserved the education. The only hope of the present school system is a few dedicated professionals. They could see the errors of the future and grasp to what made the system work in the past. Focusing on actual knowledge to better society at the basic leve .....

.... and noble act for the reward ing Hrothgar gave him a sword and eight horses with golden cheek plates. The second act of Beowolf's conflict with grendel showing his nobility is not with Gredel himself but with Grendels mother. After Grendel was killed his mother was very angry and killed a knight in king Hrothgar's court the same way her son had. King Hrothgar was very disturbed by this and didn't know what to do. He called for Beowolf and told him of a dangerous swamp where Grendel and his mother lived. The king also said that no one would go into the swamp to kill Grendel's mother. The nob .....

.... African Americans were often the target of hate crimes and prejudice. The theme of the poem is not directly stated, it is to be understood by its audience. The poem tells the story of a young girl who asks her mother if she can participate in a Freedom March on the streets of Birmingham. Her mother refuses to let her go due to the fact that there is a high risk that the march is potentially dangerous. Instead of a march in the streets, the mother suggests that the daughter go to church and sing in the choir, where she will be safe. The poem takes an unexpected turn when the mothe .....

.... Frost describes a witches brew with all the ingredients being white. Witches have traditionally been ugly people wearing all black, the color that represents darkness and death. By saying that the white spider and the dead moth are like ingredients of a witches brew is actually putting those two objects on a lower level of existence. Ingredients in witch brew are usually despicable items that are not worthy of any human being. Frost talks about the spider on a white heal-all holding up a dead white moth. A heal-all is a flower traditionally known for its healing capabilities, but in thi .....

.... captain worked them day and night for he had no mercy, because of this they had a fight though hungry and very thirsty. In that fight two men had died or at least it was thought to be when they found out one was alive they went on happily. They tricked the captain and two of the crew into thinking that Zachariah was dead, but all that was thrown overboard was some cloth in a hammock bed. Because the captain thought he was dead his secret was very big. Every day the sailors would bring him food while he was hiding in the brig. This poem relates to the part of the novel when the .....
