My Definition Of Anger

Decent Essays
The poem "Anger" is just that-- anger. It composes not only those things that anger myself but those silent angers that the people around me hold, the angers that people don't feel can be seen. It's these silent angers that can keep someone up at night cursing the world or the anger that causes you to say or do that one thing that knowingly will hurt someone out of spite. Anger is a powerful feeling that everyone shares silent or not.
Its alright to feel angry. It's ok to have anger. It shapes who people are as a person. Anger shows the truth colors of those around and pushes people to act out of nature rather then calculated moves -- it brings pain. My poem easily expresses the anger that I have. I accept it for what it is and that will

    According to Carol Travis’s clarification of Freud’s and his colleague Joseph Breuer’s studies in his Anger: The Misunderstood Emotion, even though these two gurus of psychology identified the catharsis idea to aggression only, this is not persistent because our “ ‘reservoir’ idea contains all the emotions – jealousy, grief, resentment, as well as rage” (Carol 1983, 38) . Moreover, Carol argues that all ways of exoneration an emotion have the same therapeutic…

    Unlike being mad at a friend, as we look into the next part of the poem, we see hatred increasing, or as William Blake said, “ my wrath did grow.” When dealing with an enemy or a foe, you tend to constantly think about how mad or irritated you are about the whole situation. That makes your hatred grow and grow. You are feeding or watering your…

    Argumentative Essay Paul Laurence Dunbar’s famous poem, We Wear the Mask, is a sentimental and symbolic poem that refers to the times individuals hide behind masks for various reasons. However, many critics think that this poem only applies to individuals who suffered from slavery. Because many of Dunbar’s poems do reflect images of slavery, some critics argue that “we” in the poem “We Wear the Mask” is referring to slaves. The poet is including himself as a part of the human race rather than speaking from personal experience. Again, critics will argue that the speaker is including himself within his race of people who endured slavery.…

    I have been writing some assignments in which I had to include poetry, logos, pathos, ethos and many more during this school year. It has taught me how to use each one of them in different ways. During this school year I read a poem which is written by Emily Dickinson and it taught me how poetry is written and it also carries a meaning or an hidden message, also an expression or thought that the person feels. For example, in one of her poems “hope” she uses an example of a bird or a angel to express her thought or feelings and how it can destroy you in a quick instant, but it can also help without expecting anything from you.…

    What is poetry? A variety of answers are likely to emerge when you ask this question. According to Merriam Webster, poetry is defined as, “Metrical writing; writing that formulates a concentrated imaginative awareness of experience in language chosen and arranged to create a specific emotional response through meaning, sound, and rhythm.” An author can have a set purpose of writing something, but everyone interprets readings differently. Any work, in which the speaker is telling a story that evokes emotion from its reader; the writing does not have to any set, specific emotion that the reader is supposed to feel, a change in wording or style of writing can cause someone to look at that section different; that is what poetry is to me.…

    When the reader first analyzes the poem, it naturally comes of as harsh or scary. The first thought that comes to mind is that the drunken father is abusing the child. Although after further analysis of the poem it seems as though that is not the case. The poem doesn’t sound as though it was the happiest memory of the child’s life, but it wasn’t a memory he feared either. In the poem “My Papa’s Waltz” written by Theodore Roethke, the speaker’s experience seems to be a positive one based on the rhythm and word choice.…

Hirsch compared a reader to a pilgrim in his article. In his article, he stated, “Reading poetry is an adventure in renewal, a creative act, a perpetual beginning, a rebirth of wonder.”…

    My interpretation of what poetry is most likely the same as what anyone else it is thinking; whatever the poet at the time wants it to be. Poetry is open to anything. It can express anger, happiness, hatred, fear, love, passion, joy and any other form of expressions known to man. Before this assignment I was not big on poetry outside of when it was required to read in school. I decided on the poem “To Change the World Enough” by Alice Walker, mainly because I was able to understand most of what the poem was saying.…
