Accessed 17 Sept. 2017. In this essay, Ashley Dawson strategically analyses the way music has been used in time (specifically, 1976-1981), as a form of anti-racist speech in support of Black British pop culture. In order to achieve this feat, Dawson recalls time and researches various…

between 1909 and 1915. It uses the dramatic monologue style, where the readers are only silent listeners. It is tempting to think that the poet , Eliot, is describing his own life through the character of Prufrock but the stark differences between young Eliot ( at the time he wrote the poem) and a balding ,middle-aged Prufrock, negate this assumption. Eliot also used the literary technique of fragmentation, which was popular in his time. The poets of his time used fragmentation in their poems,…

1. Emerson did consider himself to be a poet, although his writings were not limited to poetry. His authority comes partly from the fact the Emerson was acknowledge during his own time. He was considered to be a major thinker, author and philosopher. His works encompassed several disciplines, among them literatures, philosophy, theology, psychology, education and social commentary (Wilson). Additionally, Emerson’s writings were given serious attention in England. Initially, British…

In the poem, “Romans 12:1,” brown tries to explain to the haters to himself. This happens in the poem in the line that says, “On the whole/ Hurt by me, they will not call me/Brother.” In this there may be some feeling of hatred, directed to another poem that references spiritual verses. In “The Ten Commandments,” the speaker talks about the sins and the sinfulness that he himself. A line in the poem says, “But I could be covetous. I could be a thief.” The speaker in this may be talking about the…

The Formation of the Beat Generation Through “Howl” Poetry is usually seen as a “pretty” form of writing. For the Beat poets of the 1950s and Allen Ginsberg, that is not the case. Their works signify a period of anti-censorship in poetry––a time of criticism for mainstream society. Ginsberg’s “Howl” is one poem of particular significance from that time period. On a superficial level, Ginsberg’s three part poem “Howl” appears to be his own adaption of the Beat era in which certain people are…

Could you imagine dirt actually being clean or a globe in the shape of a square? Dirt wouldn’t really be dirt then, nor a globe really a globe. If you have read the poem “If” by E. E. Cummings, then you may remember theses crazy allusions. Cummings is not trying to confuse your brain, however, he is simply making an observation on possibilities of the future or the notion of there is no perfect world. My perspective of the poem is that if things were different, then we wouldn’t be who we are and…

Exercise 2: Crux Buster, Harrison’s “On Not Being Milton” In Tony Harrison’s poem “On Not Being Milton” he writes, “my Cahier d’un retour au pays natal” (3). According to the footnote, the French phrase comes from the title of Aime Cesaire’s poem about colonized West Indian people and a journey back to their homeland. The translated version would read, “Notebook of a return to one’s land of birth.” The first two lines of this poem set the theme of the speaker returning to his roots in the form…

The sixteenth-century English poet George Gascoigne draws various vivid images to represent the grieving speaker’s attitude on opening his broken heart to love. Within the poem, Gascoigne uses poetic devices such as form, diction, and imagery to effectively display the complexity of the agonizing attitude by explaining the reasons why the speaker can not face the woman he yearns for in the face. “For that he looked not upon her”, follows the classic Shakespearean format with “ABAB” rhyme scheme…

T.S. Eliot is considered “one of the twentieth century’s major poets”. He was born in the United States, but settled in England in his later years of life. Eliot was heavily influenced by religion and modernism – a new and upcoming type of poetry during the 1910’s. T.S. Eliot’s use of allusions, symbols, theme, and unique compositions of his poems create a signature melancholy, yet aesthetical style. In almost every T.S. Eliot poem, there is a use of allusions, or references to a well-known…

Alfred Prufrock,” Eliot represents age and time through parallelism and situational irony to show that one must not squander his opportunities in life. Parallelism is prevalent throughout the poem, and is used to present age in a nagging, incessant way. The phrase “there…
