Ponzi scheme

After reading over the poem multiple times, the emotions that begin to arise are ones of peace. The words are soft and calming, “petal by petal the flower of our heart” (line 3) Though the poem evokes some feelings of sadness, I feel at peace as I read over the poem. Memories of nostalgic memories of being with old friends that I had lost. Something about the poem reminds me of the process of moving on, and focusing on the future ahead of us, “Sweeps them away, Each one is gone Ever beyond into…

line in the passage reads “o FORtune! FORtune!ALL men CALL thee FICKle” (Shakespeare, 3.5.60). Noticeably, there are only nine syllables in this line, five stressed and one unstressed syllable. The line is therefore missing a syllable, and the rhyme scheme that had been in perfect harmony only a line before is broken. The syllable is not the only component missing in this line, rather, as mentioned earlier, the conviction that Fortune is fixed is…

Emily Dickinson’s poems, “Because I could not stop for Death”, “There’s a certain slant of light”, and “I felt a funeral in my brain” convey a sense of poignancy which reflects the feelings of isolation of the people in America during the Civil War. Dickinson exploits nature as a metaphor to make an abstract idea more “real”, characterizing the images and feelings during the Civil War Era. She uses elaborate and fanciful metaphors to illustrate a depressing mood, characterizing the speaker’s…

Mary Shelley uses many descriptive words in order to give the reader a clear picture of the setting. Using phrases such as, “a deep and rapid river, into which many trees bent their branches, now budding with the fresh spring” (Shelly 129) to explain to us the scenery of Eastern Switzerland. Not only does she describe the beauties of Switzerland, but she also describes the desolate details that come with late autumn, “Nature decayed around me, and the sun became heatless; rain and snow poured…

“Where the Sidewalk Ends” explication Life is one of the things you can never get back. You can never re-do it, or you can’t get a second chance. “Where the sidewalk ends” is a symbolic poem, symbolizing where the sidewalk or life ends and also to be a little bit out of the ordinary. Throughout the poem, the speaker is displaying meaningful imagery and symbolism. A broad course of action to be different and joyful, like children. The speaker starts in the first stanza by visualizing a place…

out. However, the phrasing of the lines are awkward. Thus giving the poem a staccato rhythm. I understand some of the phrasing is due to the limitations of the assignment, however, you should consider rephrasing certain lines or changing the rhyme scheme. For example lines three and four “I was perhaps misinformed that day, neglecting even the lizards…” The phrasing of the line seems off. Further on in the poem there is a line that appears out of place five beginning with the word “and” and…

Within the line “All of us as vital as the one light we move through,” I would change ‘vital’ to ‘meaningful.’ The word ‘vital’ fits a physiological topic better than the genre of this poem, while ‘meaningful’ includes the emotions and feelings expressed later in the poem. ”In the line “as worn as my father's cutting sugarcane,” I would change the word ‘cutting’ to ‘cleaving’ to greatly emphasize the work the father is doing “so [the author’s] brother and [the author] could have books and…

rhyme organically but instead they all have the same endings. This was a smart way for him to find a way of using the words that this sestets calls for (i.e. “ambition,” “audition,” and “competition”) without veering to far from the original rhyme scheme. This variation I believe is a great example of how the art lies in the phrasing. Before my analysis I had never even notice that those words didn’t rhyme but with combining Wittman’s lyrics with Shaiman’s music disguises almost completely the…
