A Noiseless Patient Spider Poem Analysis

Decent Essays
Autry,
How goes it? I read your post this week and saw that you had a similar outlook as me when it came to understanding Emily Dickerson’s poem. Come to think of it I feel as if most of the class got the same concept of this particular poem. Would you agree?
Reading you response to A Noiseless Patient Spider is well written and thoughtful. I will be looking forward to reading more of your post in the feature.

    Josseline Portillo Professor Ishigaki Music 9 23 October 2017 Article Analysis- Totally Tuned In The music article Totally Tuned In by Michael J. Romick from the Virginia Journal of Education talks about how the use of music to teach English can be extremely beneficial to students by bettering and understanding the material. Romick uses instances from his own experiences, knowledge, and extensive career in teaching to talk about the great benefits that music has in the learning and retention abilities of the developing minds of children. Although this great article is that there isn’t really anything scientific or any other external researches to support what Romick is explaining in this article, I still think we can learn a lot from the article…

    When comparing and looking at the two poems “Graded Paper” by Mark Halliday and “Learning to Read” by Frances E. W. Harper, you can see that the two are different in many ways. They are two poems from two very distinct time periods. The diverse elements and styles that are used in these poems make them unique in their own way. But, while they have different forms, subjects, word choices, and themes, their overall tones, while not exactly the same throughout the poems, can be seen as similar in a way as they both result in a happy and positive feeling.…

    “Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.” This mantra from Margaret Mead is a somewhat humorous yet slightly satirical spin on how people tend to think of themselves as one-of-a-kind, irreplaceable human specimens. However, one English teacher from Wellesley High School takes this critique one step further with his polemic presentation at the school commencement. David McCullough, a Massachusetts English teacher, gave a seemingly somber sendoff to his graduates in 2012, with a speech that contained some unapologetically harsh sentiments.…

    Taking criticism can be a difficult thing, but it allows individuals to be guided away from poor practices and be led towards proficient ones. The problem is that our supporters, such as our educators and parents, pass their limits when trying to correct others for their benefit, or in some cases for their own satisfaction, which often leads them to over criticize. This causes individuals such as students and the children of parents to be pushed over the edge, or in very few cases, accept it and honor their selves for their effort. Janice Mirikitan’s “Suicide Note” and Rosemary Catacalos’s “David Talamantez on the Last Day of Second Grade” are two poems that describe how two different characters in similar situations chose to cope with the harsh criticism that they receive from others. In both poems, the characters struggle to meet the expectations of others; however each character receives and copes with the criticism from either their educator, or parents, in distinct ways.…

    Billy Collins and the Art of Blogging Several years ago, when I studied writing in college, I attended a poetry reading featuring Billy Collins. After the event, held in the auditorium of a local community college, the emcee announced Collins would be signing autographs in the college library. Sitting near the stage by the back door, as most people turned to exit the main doors, I left through the back door. I think I was one of the first 20 people in line, and I had my copy of The Art of Drowning ready for the famed Billy Collins to sign.…

    When I moved to Statesboro, I was an outsider. I was constantly comparing everything to my hometown and seeing the negatives in everything, it was unintentional, but I couldn’t help but compare everything that was different to what I was used to. After reading the poem, I see now that maybe I should have tried to give Statesboro a shot. I should have tried understand why things were done the ways that they were, but I still believe that I made the best decision that I could by moving back home. No matter how hard, I could have tried, I never would have been able to be a part of Statesboro community as much as I am of Thomaston’s.…

    Angela Davis’s book Freedom is a Constant Struggle, is an amazing book that reflects about different topics that we have gone over in class. Davis thoroughly examines the connections in our society that oppress us throughout our history and also around the world. Different topics arose in this book which pertained directly to the views and ideas we reflected in our classroom. Davis speaks about previous liberation struggles, and many of the injustices we serve here in our own country, which have been a main topic of conversation throughout the history of our nation. Davis is an activist who is very expressive when it comes to her rhetoric about oppression and the exploitation of a set group of people.…

    The past three years, for which I have been a high school student, the unexpected has seemed to be inevitable. After years of being protected from the ‘real world’ and trying to develop a sense of self, students are expected to appropriately deal with both a constant fear of failure, and the daunting idea of the future. As a high school student, I face the constant struggle of balancing well-rounded academic achievements, a part-time job, and extracurricular activities, along with a social life – all of which are vital aspects to maintaining proper mental and physical health. Emily Dickinson, like many writers, wrote about her own interests and life experiences. These complex and uniquely executed poems directly relate to the everyday struggles,…

    Since my high school Creative Writing class will be an elective class that will consist of students in tenth through twelfth grade, I will need to find ways to bring student fun into the learning as much as possible. I have found that students love to eat and socialize, so I will include food, props, and games whenever possible. Difficulty will occur as the norm for class size at my school is thirty-two to thirty-six students, and not all students want to be in the classes where they are assigned. Since a text will not be available for the students, handouts and overhead projections of terminology and examples of writings will be needed. Keeping the class light and the learning fun and engaging at all times will be my goals.…

    The Victims Poem Analysis

    • 1110 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Upon initial reading, “The Victims” by Sharon Olds seems to be a poem that paints the picture of a life of abuse; starting from the dawning of the exploitation and arching over into the life of the abused following the maltreatment. In the work, it is made to be believed that the clear victims of the poem are the speaker and their family—which is a rightful and obvious assumption—but there is another victim that is not as prevalent as that of the speaker and their family: the speaker’s father. After a second read, it is made evidently apparent that although the work does focus on the speaker and their family as the victims of the poem, the ideal that the father is also a victim is explored. Since the father is depicted as an abuser, it is seen…

    My Comp Class

    After completing my second semester of Comp, I can honestly say that overall, I have enjoyed myself. I am proud of the work that I put in and feel that my grade best reflects the effort that I have put forth the last four months. One of the most memorable things that I am going to take from this class, is the ability to sprinkle lecture with humor in order to keep your audience’s attention. Because of this technique, I was able to learn so much more than if I would have taken this course over a computer screen or listened to some monotoned man drone on for forty five minutes at the beginning of each day. Although I don’t normally like poetry, I was able to really dig into our major paper and feel that I have such a better understanding of poetry than what I did in the past.…

    Life is an adventure filled with mystery and miracles, highs and lows and an extraordinary range of in-between experiences along the way. Moments of joy like finding love, succeeding in your career and celebrating birthdays with the people closest to you, truly makes it worth living. But in life we must all learn the inevitable facts, that what goes up, must also come back down. Rumi’s poetry teaches us that the highs, can never last forever, and we must therefore learn how to also embrace both the high and the low points of life. Whether it is due to losing someone you love, guilt, heartache, loss, rock bottoms, and goodbyes, we have all experienced those same emotions of grief, sorrow, and hopelessness.…

    Mutterings Over the Crib of a Deaf Child Published in 1957, James Wright’s poem “Mutterings Over the Crib of a Deaf Child” describes the array of emotions that the parents of a deaf child have as they ponder what kind of life and possible future that the child will have. In this essay I intend to discuss the fear, worry, hope, optimism and concern that the parents are feeling about their baby’s future. The title is slightly ironic in the sense that it doesn’t matter how loud or soft that the parents talk over the crib, as the child is deaf. The first stanza emphasizes their initial concern for their baby:…
