Galesburg

this is an analysis essay of three of Carl Sandburg's poem. I will analyze three poems that Carl Sandburg wrote in different times in his life. Also throughout my realization, I will talk about how he has used countless examples of personification. He uses personification and relates back to his life and home. Carl Sandburg grew up in Galesburg Illinois. His parents emigrated from North Sweden and change their family name from Johnson to Sandburg. His family was very poor which forced him to leave school at the age of 13 and work random unstable jobs to help support his family. At the age of seven teens, he moved to Kansas as a hobo. He would go on to serve eight months in the Spanish-American war and met a student of Lombard college a small school in his hometown. He was then convinced to go back home and work on his education a change that altered the course of his life and sent him down the path of poetry. Sandburg worked his way through school, where he attracted the attention of Professor Philip Green Wright. He then continued to sponsor Carl throughout his time and even publishing his first work. He also worked as an inspiration for Carl and help him along.While Carl attended the school he never once got a diploma but would later receive The…

I had been worrying about Charley for a while now. he had been jabbering on about this so called ‘third level’ at Grand Central and a place called Galesburg, Illinois, I told him it was a waking dream wish fulfillment, but now I’m not so sure, he explained everything in such precise detail that it sounded so realistic, I had been talking to him for a while now, and he had told me about Galesburg as he was there as a child and absolutely loved it, I have no idea why he didn’t just move back, but…

Once the bus stopped I got off and went inside Grand Central Station. When I found the third level to grand central station I would go back to 1894. To the place I always wanted to live. The place Is Galesburg, and it’s very pretty with the big frame houses and the big green back yards. I could not go back because I do not have the old stile money. Then I figured out that I could go to an antique shop and buy old style money and then I could go back to 1894 and live there. I went to talk to the…

Mysteries in the Third Level My friend Charley, who is also my psychiatric patient, was talking about his problems with me. Charley is thirty-one years old, and he keeps rambling on about this third level thing. Personally, I think he was going bananas as he kept rambling on about this third level thing.

Carl Sandburg was born of Swedish ancestry in Galesburg, Illinois, in 1878. He was the son of a laborer, rail blacksmith August Johnson, and Clara Anderson. His family chose the name Sandburg separating them from a confusing neighborhood of Johnson I believe the key phrase in Sandburg's is: "Knowing silence will bring all one way or another." And, I believe he's right. I've thought often, and written some, about the simple restorative power silence can have. meditation is submerging your senses…

sixteen million people (“How Many People Died in WW1?”). Each of these wars are referenced in the poem “Grass,” and the death tolls of each war are a reminder of the true devastating reality. For many people, these wars are something that will linger in their minds no matter how hard they try to forget. In the poem “Grass,” Carl Sandburg uses the personification of grass to emphasize the want to let grass cover up the bodies of bloody battles, which correlates to how people want tragedies in…
