The poem I wrote: “ Love and all its flaws” is an open form poem. The text doesn’t follow any specific rules, however, it does have a rhyme scheme of AA BB CC DD EE. It is not a sonnet, there aren’t any stanzas, given that the poem is written in one block, and there isn’t any alliteration. My composition doesn’t have any line break, assonance nor consonance.

In my poem many of different forms of imagery are portrayed. On the fourth line, tactile imagery is presented with the phrase: “ your warm hand on my cheek”. By reading this sentence I can picture the feeling of someone’s gentle hands on one’s face, that feeling of delicacy and romantic sensuality. On the ninth line an auditory imagery is portrayed: “ te amo mi amore, this is what I

    Another example of Imagery is “I looked up to the counter where red and green peppers were strung like Christmas tree lights and saw the frowning face of the stranger” (48). This example of imagery is odd. Rodriguez references Christmas, which is usually a happy time of year, and then goes on to mention a frowning stranger. It is as if this example is a reference to Rodriguez’s life, he should be happy because he has been given the opportunity to expose himself to the American culture and learn and benefit from it, but he is not something is missing. He wants the best of both worlds, he wishes he could have the full experience of the American culture, but also keep all of his Mexican culture.…

    Although majority of Harrison’s narration of trench warfare is described in chronological order, the description is given a sense of depth when the writing deviates from the sequence. For example, the writer describes a flashback to an event when he talks to veterans and reads newspaper reports. This gives depth because it gives insight to the characters current motivation and emotional state. Sense imagery paints a vivid portrait of a scene to develop the narrative with the use of words and in this case is used very effectively throughout the passage.…

    The first job someone has is often memorable in many ways, they are earning their own money, accepting a new form of responsibility, and they’re usually treated horribly because their position is seen as inferior. In today’s world, people who work jobs that don’t require a degree are looked down upon. It is often ignored that the resources that are needed to obtain the education that is required for a white collar job, are not available to everyone.

    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…

Capitalism is creating an economy where products and profits are owned by companies and individuals instead of the government. ("Capitalism" Merriam Webster) Having profits owned by individuals drive owners to create inequitable systems that take advantage of lower class citizens. The systems drive the lower class to compete against one another to create a small profit, that will soon be taken away by the individuals or companies that “own” the profit created by the system.…

    Imagery is an appeal to the five senses (touch, taste, sight, smell, sound) to help deepen the reader’s experience of the text. The poem has a a lot of positive imagery in the first stanza involving the knight, including when the knight “ [ … ]rides into the noon, / and his helmet points to the sun, / and a thousand splintered suns / are the gaiety of his mail” and how the knight’s “ [ … ]feet glitter / and his palms flash in reply, / and under his crackling banner / he rides like a ship in sail.” This imagery allows the reader to visualize a strong, brave, fearless knight who wears his armor with pride. The reader might also be led to imagine the knight remaining prideful despite his tiredness and “crackling banner.” In the…

Ortiz, there is love found within by a man’s memories of his childhood relationship with his Father. “Those Winter Sundays” is about a man who is remembering the relationship he had with his father through regret, because he realizes how unappreciative he was. “My Father’s Song” is a man reminiscing on the actions his father makes when showing him the value of life and how to grow up. Within both of these poems the father-son relationship does not show verbal communication. In “Those Winter Sundays,” this lack of communication helps indicate the distance between the two, whereas the communication breakdown in “My Father’s Song” reflects the connection that the two…
