Black Tap Milkshake Analysis

Improved Essays
The third poem I wrote was a metaphoric writing poem, I appreciated writing this poem because it showed the value of my grandpa. I directly followed the format given for this poem so, I did not change the structure. The change I made to the beginning was very slight, I just made an addition by adding where the Black Tap milkshake is to give the readers a clearer understanding. At the end of the poem there was a modest change, I wrote out Alex Rodriguez's full name because I felt it was more proper and I referred his name to his suspension. My favorite part of the poem is “like a delicious four, for four containing American favorites, burgers, french fries, chicken nuggets, and a chocolate frosty on a late Friday night from Wendy’s.” This quote

    In this essay I will compare and contrast the two poems by presenting different examples. Titles can say a lot about a poem. Although titles can sometimes be misleading, they often establish the setting or portray the tone of the poem. The titles given to these poems are very similar because they establish the setting, but also serve different purposes. “Last…

    No one ever expected for sugar sweetened beverages to become a threat to human health. The article Ounces of Prevention-The Public Policy Case for Taxes on Sugared Beverages is a depiction of the growing worries of experts in public health; Kelly D. Brownell and Thomas R. Frieden manifest the importance of increasing the taxes on sugar sweetened beverages in order to generate a decrease in consumption, promoting people to make a wise selection to reduce the rate of obesity. The ascending consumption of sugar sweetened beverages is presented as the “largest driver of the obesity epidemic”. Imposing an excise tax may be a solution to this preventable problem. Demanding taxation on sugar sweetened beverages will produce a revenue.…

    In writing this poem, the author chose not to conform to any of the more stringent poetry styles and instead opted for the free-verse poetry form in which there are no set guidelines regarding stanza breaks, rhythm, or rhyme schemes. Structurally, this poem is constructed of ten open couplets in which sentences are regularly enjambed, however, the enjambment does not affect the reading of the poem adversely. With the exception of the end of the poem, no stanza break coincides with a period and only one other coincides with any form of punctuation at all. This lack of regularity or apparent significance in the punctuation, in addition to the couplet form of the poem with no true purpose, are perplexing and leave the reader uncertain why the author choses to break up the lines in this fashion as there are more visually satisfying ways that…

    As one of the most iconic American poets, Robert Frost’s work has stood the test of time. Though born in California, Frost moved to New England at age eleven and came to identify himself as a New Englander. That self-identification would become a staple of his later works as he would invest “in the New England terrain” and make use of the “simplicity of his images” (Norton Anthology, p. 727) accompanied by uncomplicated writing to give his poems a more natural feel. Frost’s poems were generalized by certain types: nature lyrics, which described a scene or event, dramatic narratives or generalizations, and humorous or sardonic works. His widely anthologized poem “Fire and Ice” falls between the categories of nature lyrics while also being somewhat…

    For my project I chose to read Where the Birds Never Sing and to write a poem about it. Poems are very interesting to me, because a poem can be a short piece of work that holds so much meaning. So, I decided to write a poem of my own: “From Peace to Grief and Back Again”, to show the events of my novel. We had to write it in Sonnet form, so that means an “ABAB” rhyming pattern with ten syllables per line, and fourteen lines.…

    English 103, journal # 5 This top poem means to me that due to the terrorism we have lost our privacy and trustworthiness. The writing in the bottom about the grandmother in a nursing home mean to me that the persons in the nursing homes are lonely because their family cannot visit them because they are very busy surviving. In the “What’s Up with the American Dream” article several writers conclude that the American dream has been undermined by a combination of global economic developments and the government policies that have previously widened the gulf between the very rich and the rest of us.…

    Literature Paper Poetry can be very complex and even though it can vary and use different techniques to get the point across it may come to the same conclusion and meaning, and can also be interpreted differently. Poetry is meant to be understood in the reader's own way. Why I Hate Raisins, Hand-Me-Down Halloween, and My Brother at 3AM are about the struggles of living in the reservation, but use different style, syntax and tone. Why I Hate Raisins is a poem about the struggles of not having enough food or not being able to afford food other than what they received. It is written in subtly and sounds simple, so the true meaning behind the poem is not really understood until the end, and has a deeper meaning.…

    It was the winter of 1906 and the only thing that was present in the life of a middle-aged New Englander was failure. “After a near death experience with pneumonia that winter, this man turned to poetry as his only form of consolation” (Thompson 151). That man was Robert Frost. He was a loving father, husband, and friend. Frost was inspired by the sights around him, the people he met, and the experiences he had.…

    The colloquial idiom to “kill time” is commonly heard in passing. Whether it is a baby’s first steps, a first car, or even a marriage ceremony, a communal ideology remains that life contains nothing more than waiting for the momentous events. However, this theory of “killing time” whilst waiting for the future also kills any chances of obtaining a purposeful life. Monotony has become an epidemic in today’s society, leaving thousands feeling trapped and vainly seeking some shred of meaning in their life. The great American poet, Robert Frost, gives unique insight on the recognizable struggle between balancing the demands of society with one’s personal search for purpose.…
