The leaves are falling while the wind rustles through them. The sounds of cars passing by and people rushing into buildings due to the cold-chilled air. In the poem To Autumn by John Keats, John Keats uses imagery to describe how the season autumn represents the early stages of life. Then towards the end, John Keats also uses imagery to represent the ending or death. Although John Keats uses imagery to describe autumn, John Keats uses the imagery elements to show the progression of autumn and…

A study of Rama Rao’s thirty-seven short poems evinces his fine creativity and one is enamoured of the values, which presently seem to have been lost in the mire of materialism. The poet sings about the loss of human ethics. The very first poem, ‘A Sigh and Relief’, is a satire on the political power. The politicians, these days, are mad with power and seem to have lost their ability to judge gold from dross. He, very aptly, argues that “Vice has limits / Death is not the only end”: human vices…

Righteousness and Responsibility What does being a father really mean? The complex role of fatherhood is explored in “Those Winter Sundays” and “My Papa's Waltz.” The two fathers in the poems have extremely different ideas about what being a father truly entails. The distinct differences in the father’s level of responsibility is evident in the time of day in which the poem occurs, the atmosphere they create within their home, their morals, and the appearance of their hands and tasks they…

congress cataloging in publication data. The Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore and London. 1979. (66) I should like to offer two conventional paraphrases of the poem, which I shall then suggest are inadequate. In the first, picked up by God, the speaker becomes His marksman: the mountains resound with the echoes of her shots; those bursts of gunfire are as “cordial” as the eruption of a volcano; with the threat of more gunfire, she guards him at night, imagining her power to be total.…

in nature and reconnect with his primal self. The setting follows the speaker in pursuit of a bear in the wild during the winter. He is acting as a hunter and his obsession with the bear develops the elaborate overarching metaphor…

threat of an enemy plane dropping bombs from the sky may invade his consciousness, replacing otherwise harmless sights with a living nightmare The speaker is incapable of forgetting his war experience and losing the history of the war. As a survivor, his duty is to pass on his memories to others so that they may know what war is really like. The speaker is finally relieved of his isolation…

I chose to do my project on the Pyro board which is an adaptation of the Rubens tube. The Pyro board uses fire to demonstrate sound waves. I chose this as my project because I find music and fire fascinating. Having them interact to demonstrate the physics side of sound helped me understand all the different aspects that can effect sound waves and alter the way we interpret them. Before I started to build my Pyro board I did research on how they worked why they worked and why the flames reacted…

Although people are at liberty to say what they want, they do not to prevent harming their loved ones. This common dilemma comes to light in the poem “Legacies” by Nikki Giovanni. On one hand, some may argue that people should always speak the truth of how they feel or think to their loved ones. One the other hand, others might say that at times people should not say exactly what they think and speak to their loved ones. In her poem, “Legacies”, Nikki Giovanni maintains that “neither of them…

“I like you like boys and testicles love to hang”, dont you just wish someone liked you the way that testicles hang. In the poem “like”, the author Mike McGee,conveys unconditional love through the use of simile, Aphorisms and repetition. aphorisms demonstrates how he feels for this girl. Wearese , The similes captures how he really feels for the girl. And repetition illustrates the real love for her. Although repetition is a comedic,the universal truth is most humorously expressed with…

Minnesota, James Wright’s speaker appreciatively bears witness to the sights and sounds of nature. After several seemingly small, insignificant natural wonders have been noted, the speaker abruptly brings the pastoral to a close with the stark line, “I have wasted my life.” The afternoon may just as well have been his life and with the sarcastic closing line of his poem he laughs at the absurd misconception of the life of a poet. Despite the presence of the speaker in the hammock, the poem…
