.... was like. It was poets like her who had a large influence over the public. Her amazing naiveté made her renowned amongst the British during war- time and in my opinion, her recruiting poem; “Who’s for the Game” is irresponsible. It gives young men, and their families who would want to persuade the men to join the army, a completely false image of war. However, it is an army recruitment poem, and for the reason it was written, I believe it is a very powerful and manipulative piece of propaganda . This is down to the way the poem is seemingly directed at YOU, no matter who is reading it .....

.... no children of her own at the time and was very close to her niece, who died SIDS, and she expresses her feelings for the child very eloquently in the song. In the song, she gives her niece permission to stop fighting and to fly above the clouds on an endless journey of happiness. A friend of mine introduced me to this song while I was in the hospital with my daughter. After listening to the words of this song, I made the heart-wrenching decision to take her off life support. When I brought my daughter home, I would sit and rock her while playing this song. I wanted her to know that when s .....

.... This is where her son has been shot, probably in the face. Although "blood from his punctured cheeks and shoulders/is the only liquid for miles"(9-10), "my mouth splits into dry lips"(12). With the death of her boy she is willing to sacrifice her own need of any quenching of her lips. She is "thirsting for the wetness of his blood"(14) but it is more important to resist the temptation, "trying to make power out of hatred and destruction"(18). The power displayed in the third section of Lordes Power is that of hatred. A policeman has "shot down a 10-year-old in Queens"(21). This he justi .....

.... great was there, she knew; something great enveloped her. [11]But it did not keep her. [12]In the morning it was not the same. [13]They had known, but she could not keep the moment. [14]She wanted it again; she wanted something permanent. [15]She had not realized fully. [16]She thought it was he whom she wanted. [17]He was not safe to her. [18]This that had been between them might never be again; he might leave her. [19]She had not got him; she was not satisfied. [20]She had been there, but she had not gripped the—the something—she knew not what—which she was mad to hav .....

.... portrays Satan's evil in Book four by asserting that Satan is hell and that evil is his good because good has been lost to him. (Bk. 4, lines 75, 108-110). Satan's moral state further decays in Book nine as detailed in a soliloquy at the beginning of the book by Satan. Satan recognizes his descent into bestiality after once being in contention with the gods to sit on top of the hierarchy of angels. He is unhappy with this "foul descent" and in turn wants to take out his grief on humanity. Despite recognizing that revenge eventually becomes bitter, Satan wants to make others as miserab .....

.... stanza of his poem, Poe is speaking to a person who has seen him through some rough times. He is trying to convince her as well as himself that his life has not changed through the years. He questions the realness and significance of the everyday events of life and finally concludes that they are unimportant and superficial. "All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream." The second stanza takes on a more despairing tone. His air of carelessness begins to vanish. He realizes that everything he holds of value is quickly slipping away from him as, "Grains of golden sand [thr .....

.... life contrasts with the idealized portrait of childhood that he presents in his writings (Wordsworth, William DISCovering). Wordsworth went to college at St. John's College in Cambridge and later wrote that the highlight of those years was his walking tour of France and Switzerland taken with his friend, Robert Jones (Watson 1421). He graduated in 1791 when the French revolution was in its third year, but, even though he had showed no prior interest, he quickly supported the Revolution's goals. After Wordsworth was forced to flee France he became involved with the studies of philosopher Wi .....

.... ship from its end and it made his poem an masterpiece. As you can see Oliver Wendell Holmes Old Ironsides was not only a success for him but also a success for the battleship. This poem was written in such a way that people like me 100 years later can still see the point that he is trying to show us. This was one of the things that the Fireside poets were known for, writing in such a manner that the common man could understand it. The poem Old Ironsides was truly a great poem that made Holmes a star and also fits him with the other Fireside poets. .....

.... stanza rhyme's. Some of the imagery is with sight and sound. For sight they are “Close to the sun”, “Azure world”, azure mean the blue color in a clear daytime sky. “ Wrinkled sea beneath”, and “mountain walls”. The only one that was imagery of sight & sound was “like a thunderbolt he falls”. The figures of speech are “wrinkled sea”, which means the waves in the ocean. And one simile is “like a thunderbolt he falls”, it is saying how fast a eagle dives. The poems theme is how an eagle can fly so high and dive so fast. And how free an eagle is. I though .....

.... Eliot saw in the French symbolists how image could be both absolutely precise in what it referred to physically and at the same time endlessly suggestive in the meanings it set up because of its relationship to other images. Eliot's real novelty was his deliberate elimination of all merely connective and transitional passages, his building up of the total pattern of meaning through the immediate comparison of images without overt explanation of what they are doing, together with his use of indirect references to other works of literature (some at times quite obscure). Eliot starts h .....
