Both campaigns had similar products that were almost a necessity for men who shaved. Their campaigns were a lot alike when it came to humor. They caught consumers attention by using humor. They drew customers in with their wild humor and their bold colors. Burma's campaign used poetry for their humor while Dollar Shave Club used gallant humor. Though both of them had a different approach to make their consumers laugh; they used methods that reeled them in. Shaver's have been around for a couple…

“Chevrefoil (The Honeysuckle)” has been a great poem of love. I am interested in this story to learn about how when two people are separated their love depart from one another. As I read this poem, it brought the thought to my mind of how certain people really have love to others and they don’t even know it. Something that also grasped my attention was how they use a honeysuckle to the two for their love. I think that was a perfect example to compare them with. I don’t think they should be set…

Howl by Allen Ginsberg, as I have researched it, is said to be one of the greatest poetic works in America. Upon reading the poem, however, I have felt the need to ask- why? Why is it that of all the poetry flying about, this one seemed to strike a chord with members of American society? Was it the controversy of the crude language used in this conservative 1950s era? Or perhaps the cold imagery of a dystopian wasteland? Was there something in the characters- the “who’s”- that the common person…

Funeral March From Funeral and Triumphal Symphony A. R.Binkley The Funeral and Triumphal Symphony was commissioned of Hector Berlioz by the French government in 1840 for the tenth anniversary of the July Revolution. It was originally written for a marching band, but parts were later written for strings and a choir. The symphony has three movements. The first, Funeral March, is played during the procession to the memorial. The second, Funeral Sermon, is played during the dedication and the third,…

“When I have Fears” and “Alexander Crummell” are two similar yet very distinct examples of how human emotions can be expressed. Both readings specifically touch on the idea of doubt and how it is manifested in Keats poem and Crummell’s story. The tone, and mediums used to tell each of the author’s stories encourage the reader to form an opinion on which they feel is more convincing when portraying the emotion of doubt. Du Bois proposes doubt as a temptation in the story and life of Alexander…

Emily Dickinson’s poem “To Fight aloud is very brave” is structured in three stanzas with four lines in each. The first stanza of the poem is rhythmic, but then the flow abruptly stops in the last two stanzas. The poem’s main focal point is about the effects war has on those who have fought in them. In addition to Dickinson’s main topic, her poem seems to have some patriotic elements, but there’s also an underlying sense of sorrow and grief. Despite the poems we have read in class that glorify…

“One Perfect Rose” One single rose illustrates an image of love. The rose creates the feeling of warmth, support, and beauty. Dorothy Parker leads the reader to believe this romantic idea of love, until she shows she wants something more unique and spontaneous than a single rose with little to no meaning. Through archaic terminology, imagery, and symbolism, of the rose, Parker argues against the outdated view of love in society and literature. Dorothy Parker’s use of archaic…

In the poem, Eating Poetry by Mark Strand, the speaker uses imagery and a free verse poetry form throughout the plot of the text. In the beginning of the poem, the speaker begins their story by announcing to the reader that they have been eating poetry as ink runs from their mouth. As the plot culminates, the reader learns that as the speaker continues to viciously gorge himself on the poetry, the poems continue to further reduce him to his truest state of being: a savage. Throughout the text,…

Numerous people believe poetry and prose exist merely as methods of writing; however, there is more to these forms of literature than meets the eye. While authors throughout time have used either poetry, prose, or a combination of the two in their work, both serve as literary tools that writers implement to express, persuade, inform, and inspire (among other reasons to write). Although these styles of writing involve different metrical structures, they both use the art of language to appeal to…

Will There be Stars? Sara Teasdale’s “There Will be Stars” is a poem created in the Classical style, and written in the modern era. By comparison, Modernist John Woods Duke’s song “There Will be Stars” is a powerful vocal composition which highlights the writing and style of Sara Teasdale. The poem and actual music are combined to emphasize Teasdale’s message of the impermanence of humanity and constancy of nature.“There Will be Stars” presents itself as a perfect representation of the modernist…
