Summary Of Hope 314 By Emily Dickinson

Decent Essays
In the poem “A Dream Deferred” my favorite line would be “does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over like syrupy sweet? I think that it means that either you let your dream die over or you let it flow out and actually letting your dream into a reality. I also find it memorable because been told to always follow my dreams not matter what they are. In the poem “Hope 314” by Emily Dickinson the best line in the poem would be “Yet, never, in extremity, it asked asked a crumb of Me. I think it’s saying that it always remained with me but it didn’t ask much for her. I find this one memorable as well because it doesn’t take much to do something. It asked for so little to give a lot. In the poem “Maggie and Milly and Molly and May”

    The poem begins with a direct speech from the speaker establishing one specific day in time where one has an epiphany of what one’s purpose in life is. In the three next lines, a symbol is introduced as the “voices”. The “voices” represent other people, mainly those who are part of one’s life but are not beneficial to one’s personal growth. These three lines reveal the true intentions of those voices as they keep saying the wrong things and shifting one’s mind in a different direction. The next four lines utilizes metaphors to emphasize one’s perseverance.…

    The poem “ A Soul Selects Her Own Society,” by Emily Dickinson was first interpreted by me as a soul or human being that picks her friends carefully and completely ignores the rest like they don't exist in life. The first four stanzas which are, the soul selects her own society, then shuts the door, to her divine majority, present no more; shows that the soul is really selective of her friends and the people she talks to. The first line, the soul selects her society, shows how the person picks her friends selectively. The second line, then - shuts the door, means that she does not allow more friends to join the soul atmosphere which is restated in the next line, present no more. The next lines of the poem are, Unmoved - she notes the…

    Emily Dickinson was a very bright person and also a very deep writer. Even though Dickinson never published her poetry and just wrote it on scrap paper it was wonderful writing. She could have been a very well known writer even though she is known she could have been very popular. I think that Dickinson may not have wanted all the attention and that is why she just wrote on paper and kept it to herself. One of my favorite poems is "Success Is Counted Sweetest", because it is a very true poem.…

    Dickinson's poem, Savior, falls into place in the series of poems we have read so far. The overall theme is religious, as are the last four discussed. The style follows what has previously been seen, including capitalization and word breaks. It seems like a pretty average length for a Dickinson poem.…

    In the couplet, Brooks revisits the overarching theme of the importance of dreams. By writing with the same subjects of bread and honey from the opening line, Brooks gives the poem a circular, completed effect, a response to “I am incomplete,” (Brooks 5). This is the narrator’s final goal, that they won’t be “insensitive” to their dreams, that they won’t forget despite their many distractions and delays in achieving them. The luster and purity of old dreams will never fade. In “My Dreams, My Works, Must Wait Till After Hell,” Brooks and the narrator know that dreams are important, even if they are repressed and locked up in cabinets of “will.”…

    Both Christina Rossetti and Audre Lorde have written each a poem in which the central theme is of a recurring memory of a time past. Their poems use a variety of literary devices that involves the reader in experiencing the occurring memory of a past time with the speaker of the poem. Through this involvement, between the reader and the voice, the poems misleads the reader into being captured by their dream like state that makes the reader misread the inconsistencies within them.

    Thus, social repercussion is one of the main causes behind one’s surrendered dreams. In consequence, forgotten dreams live forever in one’s conscience. This is the main theme of Hughes poem Dreams Deferred. The author describes how deeply people carry the burden of a deferred dream, by saying: “Maybe it just sags like a heavy load”(8). Delayed dreams will always be a reminder of the sacrifices that he or she did not make in order to fulfill it.…

    Honey, on the other hand, is produced by a strenuous amount of labor and is undeniably, perhaps even unbearably, sweet. By comparing the narrator’s dreams to humble foods that evoke home, bread and honey, Brooks makes the argument that dreams are just as important as food, perhaps even more as it seems that the narrator draws strength from their dreams. The dreams like “bread and honey” nourish and fill the narrator up with a certain sweetness, but the narrator keeps them guarded with their “will,” and locked in figurative cabinets. Because there is very little imagery in this poem, uncharacteristic of Brooks’ style, the imagery of latched jars of bread and honey are strengthened and create even more tension. There are several end-stopped lines, “I hold,” “I store,” “I label” and “I bid” (Brooks 1-4), meant to show the reader…

    “Echo,” a poem by Christina Rossetti, reveals the universal longing for a loved one departed and the nature of one’s thoughts as they echo without a person on the other end to respond. The speaker in the poem, perhaps a woman, appears to have lost her lover to some kind of death. She wishes to be reunited with her lover, either in dreams, or in her own death. The speaker utilizes sestet stanza units, specific meter with metrical variations, and repetition to enact the experience of longing.…
