Written Task 1 Jane Eyre Rationale I have decided to write my Written Task 1 as a diary based on the novel Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. Born on 1816, Charlotte was one of the many Brontë sisters. She was raised by her stern religious grandparents due to the death of her mother and eldest siblings. She then attended a clergy institute. Following this, she earned a living as a governess and a writer and soon after published the highly-critiqued novel ‘Jane Eyre’ in 1847 under the pseudonym…

In what ways does Sylvia Plath make use of the language in order to make the poem convincing? "Daddy" is a confessional and a very passionate poem composed by American writer Sylvia Plath. It was composed on October 12, 1962 in the blink of an eye before her passing.

drienne Rich (1929-2012) was by many regarded as the voice of her generation. Her work was often political, and her poetry explored themes such as change, feminism and sex. In the earlier years, having a family, she often wrote her poems in between chores. Perhaps it was her traditional lifestyle gave her work a “neat and orderly” (Rich, as cited in Mays 912) tint. “Aunt Jennifer's tigers” was published at the mere age of 21. As times changed, so did her poetry, growing more social and political…

The major point of difference that makes Jennings diverse from the Movement is that she is a sole female poet and also has a streak of confessionalism in her poetry. This chapter looks into Jennings poetry from confessional and autobiographical point of view. In Collected Poems (1986), Jennings preserves a number of poems dealing with the relationship between the composition of art and the experience of human suffering but she deletes most of the poems dealing specifically with psychic…

Death As Inevitability In ‘Totem’ Plath once described this poem as “a pile of interconnected images like a totem pole” (Padel, 2013). Even the title resounds a spiritual significance. A totem is kinship related, and the interconnected images that compose the poetic totem explore an almost ritual, visceral blood relationship to death in which all life forms are implicated. Life, thus, is adopted as an emblem for death. Plath’s Totem is in fact a culmination of her fatalistic attitude, the…

of “I heard a Fly buzz” and “Because I could not stop for Death” both by Emily Dickinson also “Holy Sonnets: Death, be not proud” by John Donne.

Now let it begin the analysis of these poems. The first poem “I heard a Fly buzz” by Emily Dickinson is a poem that focuses more on the details of passing away,…

From an early age, Hawthorne was regarded as a loner and a writer. This was originally his draw for the Brooks Farm community where he was first introduced to transcendentalism. Here he began to be influenced by the thoughts of others, and eventually even his own wife who was a transcendentalist herself. But what is transcendentalism, is it simply a belief, a practice, a religion, or a passage way to freedom? In truth, it is all of these combined. Transcendentalism is a escaped from the world…

One of the texts we’ve read that I connect to is “Upon the Burning of Our House” by Anne Bradstreet. In this poem, Bradstreet writes about her house burning down. However, rather than being consumed by despair, she views the loss of her possessions as an act of God that has reminded her of what is truly important. Bradstreet’s poem reflects her Puritan belief of simplicity in order to focus on God. Although I would never want to experience the loss Bradstreet did, I value the point that she…
