Ee Cummings I Choose To Do Summary

Decent Essays
I chose to do [l(a] by E.E Cummings, the form of the pome is trying to demonstrate what the poet is trying to get the reader to visualize. For myself it was helpful when the poet used the parenthesis to tell that a single leaf fell. Reading this poem was extremely hard to understand the first time, after the second and third time I started to understand all the words and why it was going straight done with only two to three letters on each line. By just writing the few characters in each line not only told the story of the leaf falling but also demonstrated what it may have looked like. In 10th grade I wrote a form poem the shape of a car, it was pretty difficult to do so especially since you have to figure out the word count for each line

    As a class we read Night by Elie Wiesel, and then, individually, we could chose two more readings on our own. As partners, we elected to read Bitburg, again by Elie Wiesel, and If Suddenly You Come for Me by N. Nor. These pieces were fierce and heartwarming. They connect to Night in different ways, but the three together give an unmistakably grim perspective of the Holocaust. Night and Bitburg by Elie Wiesel are different in format, but have the same impact in reading.…

    The poem I chose from chapter 4 Images is Sheila Wingfield’s “A Bird” (p. 119). The poem oddly brought back a memory from my childhood. What makes poetry so powerful is its capability to evoke senses like memories and emotions. Images is one of the many tools poetry uses to create a verbal picture.…

    The art of poetry is a vast discipline in which the creations of the poets take on a multitude of different forms. Not only are there a large number of poetic structures that an author can choose from, there are also many parts within those structures that can be modified to lead to an even more diverse array of final products. The author has a great many choice when it comes to choosing the structure of their poem, they can vary the number of lines per stanza, the length of each line, and the number of syllables per line. Other variations the poet can make include content changes such as choosing to use rhyming words, repeated sounds like alliteration, and figurative devices such as personification. Even in poetry forms with strict guidelines,…

    Language is more than a method of purely transferring interpretation; it can also transfer emotion. Whereas voice involves cadence, body assertion, and even facial articulation, the words written on a page are compelled to demonstrate more than just what is being told through a series of other strategies and manners usually implanted in the writer’s voice. Both the memoirs I Have Lived a Thousand Years by Livia Bitton-Jackson, and Night by Elie Wiesel, transfer the nature of oppression through certain methods of voice, particularly syntax and tone.…

    “We know that every moment is a moment is a moment of grace, every hour an offering;not to share them would mean to betray them”(Wiesel 120). This means that if the Jews don’t share every detail and horror of the Holocaust would be unfair to current civilization. It’d be unfair because it’d give history a chance at repeating itself. The book NIght is written by Elie Wiesel, a Jew who survived the concentration camps during the Holocaust. He shares his story of being treated inhumanely.…

    Night The book Night by Elie Wiesel has many great themes, however the theme I analyzed is that no matter the pain and suffering you go through you will still always love and care for your family and others, help others in need. I picked this theme out for many reasons. Throughout the story Elie starts losing faith in god, causing him to learn to trust himself. When you trust yourself then you are able to help others.…

    The Tretheway poem that I choose was “Theories of Time and Space”. The reason why I choose this poem was because it was the best one I could play around with and connect to the photo of Mrs. Benson diving into the water. I also choose it because the message that I got from it was if you do lose sight of where you are from or who you are that person or place is always still in you. With this I tried to show that in my poem just in a little bit but in a different way. I did this when Mrs. Benson is looking back at her photo.…

    Author’s craft is a commonly used method in which the author uses literary devices to help tell a story. There are many different examples of Author’s Craft within the novel Night written by Elie Wiesel, a holocaust survivor. I believe that Wiesel is using Author’s Craft to help illustrate the story within the reader’s mind, as Night is a reflection of Wiesel’s personal memories with the Holocaust. Based on the different examples of Author’s Craft, I can conclude that the theme that Night is trying to convey is that “No matter how bad the circumstances are, do not give up!” as Elie Wiesel uses multiple types of Author’s Craft to help develop this theme in the story.…
