    “Fishhawk” was the first poem of the Classic of Poetry, the earliest poetry collection of East Asia (p.1322). In contrast to many poems in the “Airs of Domain” that propagated Confucianism, “Fishhawk” is a simple love poem. The poem revolves around a young man who was “tormented by his desire for a girl”(p.1322). While this poem is labeled as a “romantic folk song”(p.1322), the good use of literary elements, syntax, and language added a bit of tint to the love story.…

    Repetition: A Thing Repeated “Trying to walk the same way to the same store takes high-wire balance: each step not exactly as before risks chasms of flatness. One stumble alone and nothing happens. Few are the willing and fewer the champions.” In just thirty-seven words, Kay Ryan is able to capture a universal truth: beauty will always remain for those who choose a life of depth, for those who choose to live life on the wire, repetitiously retracing their steps on the footpath of life.…

In the poem, “Thou Blind Man’s Mark” by Sir Philip Sidney, desire is the main theme, addressed in many ways and uses different techniques to exaggerate the complex attitude the speaker has towards desire. It is often personified as if it holds power over the speaker and he speaks of the hatred he has towards desire and uses a shift in the poem to exemplify an ironic tone.…

    Humans have the tendency of comparing their lives with others and in doing so; they miss the charm of enjoying small moments of life. Couples tend to deviate from focusing on gathering happiness and love to be experienced together and rather strive to improve materialistic aspects of life. Unfortunately, couples do not realize the essence of a relationship and most of them think that getting a promotion, driving a better car or living in a lavish house is more important than staying happy and content with what they have. Lack of understanding and communication adds a rift in a relationship that becomes more a liability than a delightful journey which is filled with emotions of love and care. And when a relationship goes through…

    The Wanderer Analysis

    • 767 Words
    • 4 Pages

    “The Wanderer”: A Literary Analysis “The Wanderer,” a short poem written during the Anglo-Saxon period, is an elegy regarding a warrior whose lord, friends, and land have been destroyed by war. Many elements of the poem bring its sorrowful message to life, such as the perspective it is told in, its elegiac tone common to the poetry of the time, its eloquent, descriptive diction, and, although not necessarily mournful, a transition into something more of a wisdom poem. Most of these qualities exemplify the style of writing found in various works of the Anglo-Saxon era. First of all, the poet made the choice of expressing experiences and thoughts through the main character from a first person point-of-view, as is common among several Anglo-Saxon poems. This choice works quite well for the poem due to the fact that it allows the reader to connect with the speaker on a more personal level.…
