Distinctive Voices Poem Analysis

Improved Essays
Voices give writing a tone, being able to read the voices you are able to read a different perspective. In the poem I read, I had heard three distinctive voices to tell his story on life. The three voices I had read the dark, strong, and disagree. Her story is about struggling to live and how life is extremely hard.

This poem was all about her dark life and how she had to fight to live everyday. How she is going to put on a smile, but about to cry. I read this as she is covering up her true feelings about life. Life is hard and has only been a struggle and view life so dark. She is hiding behind the world so they don't know the true her. Her writing is a deep dark tone of lack of hope she has for living. One line she said "even though I'm destined to die" describes her dark view.

Strong is a voice that really stood out to me when she would say they would never fall. Even though she would never fall she still said they would struggle to live. With lack of hope on her life she shares a lot of determination to how she is not going to fall. Struggling to live her life she stays strong even though she wants to give up she continuing to fight. Standing tall is how she shows herself not being weak, giving the us the impression of strength. This line is

Dark is the voice I used to give off the tone of sadness and hurt. When writing this I was trying to make it about how the insults where taking over my feelings. Having almost nothing left of myself from being constantly put down from others. Strong was a voice I showed by "continuing to smile" even though I have been tore apart from their words. Disagree was the few final words used in my poem, when I realize that the words they are saying are not me. I was able to get my confidence back and remove the hate out of my life. My writing was using the same voices as the original piece and had a similar concept on that

    In the beginning of the poem, Bradstreet is sleeping during a calm and quiet night, and then suddenly, she wakes up by “thund’ring noise / And piteous shrieks of dreadful voice” (lines 3-4).

Her house eventually got entirely burned up, and Bradstreet ended up homeless, but she did not lose hope.

    In this poem I use the strategy Internal Rhyme, each verse has 8 syllables and the whole poem has 8 lines. This poem symbolises about how some people just wander aimlessly through life not knowing what will happen next; will they be a saint, or will the lead a life of crime? I've used this formatting to show how formal some people may appear to be, which is the left side of the poem, which uses only one font. The right side represents the crumbling happiness of said person. These fonts were chosen to show the many moods they can go through, with a mind of a day to day basis.…

    For instance, line four in the poem reads, “With torn and bleeding hearts we smile.” This line really captured my attention because it made me think back to a time when I was a bullied in ninth grade by a group of girls who harassed me every day by threatening me and calling me names. It was very difficult for me to during this time because I had grown up with these girls since Pre-K and even had classes with each of them. Just like the poem mentions, I had worn a mask of happiness myself, when really I was completely torn apart on the inside. At this time in my life, I was unable to understand how that particular group of girls got the pleasure of knocking someone else down emotionally and physically.…

    Due to my increased understanding and demonstration of what it really means to make a poem, I should get at least a low A. My growth was mostly shown in the difference between my two poems in tone. My original poem was written in a very straight-forward manner that was meant to be taken neutrally in a very literal manner. While not necessarily a bad thing this left the poem feeling very empty and “lacking” for a lack of better term. At the start of the poem I used the words “...simple room”, “...neutral walls”, and “...colorful amenities”.…

    Speech can come from various forms of views. Some may come from an imaginary voice or 3rd person while others can come from a 1st person view. Voices can be directed to an audience or a targeted array of people. While both poems “Speech to the Young: Speech to the Progress-Toward” and “For My Daughter,” are both overpowering poems that affect us emotionally, “For My Daughter” gives off a negative emotional position whereas other poems showcase a different approach such as the poem “Speech to the Young: Speech to the Progress-Toward” which is positive.…

    In “Still I Rise” by Maya Angelou, the speaker’s identity is slowly developed throughout the poem so that we are not completely sure of the speaker’s identity. The speaker is a black female that while she is speaking for herself, she is also speaking for an entire population of people just like her. People like her who are determined to rise above the historical oppression saying, “Leaving behind nights of terror and fear/ I rise/ Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear/ I rise…” (lines 35-38). The speaker conveys the motif of identity through her use of tone, repetition, and imagery. Tone plays a big role in the development of identity in the poem.…

    The Scream Poem Analysis

    • 721 Words

    “The Scream” I really like this painting because somehow it involves mystery and insecurity and to my eyes, the rare views in it reflect a sense of how deep the feelings and thoughts of a person can be. In addition, the fact that the composition does not allow viewers to appreciate the face of the screaming person, is what has drawn me to it. Even though it seems to be that it was a lovely afternoon for everyone, it seems that it was not for the scared looking person. Although two boats are seen on the lake and two people walking very pleasingly behind, the scared looking person seems to be astonished and perhaps confused toward something. Hence, looking at this mysterious individual posing his hands on his face with his mouth open has given me the impression that he or she is appreciating something non real that no one else is able to notice; no one but him.…
