Descriptive Images In The Names, By Billy Collins

Improved Essays
In literature many writers use different styles of diction to depict an image or set a tone within a piece of writing. This tone can be of any sort and this helps you interpret the feeling given off from the work. The use of many descriptive words helps us paint this picture within our mind.

    Symbolism and Personification in Poetry Poetry in some way, shape or form, gives realistic ideas to even objects that reflect upon an everyday part of life by using symbolism and personification.

    Margot “…said nothing”, “…stood alone”, “…did not move”, “…did not follow”, and kept “…quietly apart”. This shows us that there is an absence of movement and sound around Margot and where the rest of the children are loud, restless and moving constantly Margot does the opposite to all of them by saying nothing and standing still and away from everyone from everyone else. Margot is different from the children in her stillness and isolation and Ray Bradbury has shown this to us by creating a contrast in her description by using the absence of sensory imagery to show us stillness and isolation whereas he explained fully all the sensory imagery when describing the rest of the children as moving constantly and keeping…

    They allow the speaker to express a theme through various literary elements such as imagery and symbolism. Billy Collins’s “Introduction of Poetry” does an amazing job at using imagery and symbolism, to covey the them of over analyzation of poetry. The imagery and symbolism start off paining a picture of how a poem should be read an analyzed, and as the poem continues it goes into how a poem should not be analyzed. The speaker is telling the reader that to understand a poem and see the true beauty of it, the reader must look at all the wonderful details because that is where the meaning will be. The reader should not just read the poem over and over looking for a meaning.…

    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.…
