Three Messages from the Shelley Poems
(An Analysis of Three Messages from Ozy, Wind, and Skylark)
In room 303, we have studied many texts. How those texts are interpreted and conveyed, depends upon the person who is reading them. Ozymandias, ode to the West Wind, and To a Skylark, are three texts that we studied this semester. Pride, man and the natural world, and happiness are three messages from Ozy, Wind, and Skylark. The message of pride comes from the story Ozymandias. In this story, King Ozymandias was very full of himself. He thought he was better than everyone else and the best king there was.

We know that being happy won't last long, and it will soon be met by sadness. But birds like this skylark don’t have to think about things in the future or past or the things that could eventually make them
