The Theme of Beauty and Emptiness in Wordsworth’s poem ’Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey’ Reading Wordsworth’s poem “Lines Written a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey”, it is obvious that someone looking back and remembering what he once experienced differently. In the poem we can find two major themes represented: beauty, and emptiness. In this essay I will focus on beauty and emptiness. In several lines of the literary work Wordsworth talks regarding beauty or refers to one thing…

They call you Mister Steve Biko now you’re dead this is the poem that I have chosen. In this essay I am going to be explaining the meaning of the poem and also what effects it has on me. I am also going to give the reader an overview of Steve Biko. As Gabeba Baderoon has said in his statement poetry is an element that has given the suppressed a voice even more so during Apartheid when people were suppressed. The poem about Steve Biko is an extraordinary example of someone making his voice heard…

The formalistic approach focuses on the construction and structure of the literary works; as formalisticapproach.weebly.com, (n.d.) mentions: “The formalistic approach to literature examines a text by its “organic form” –its setting, theme, scene, narrative, image and symbol. It is often referred as “a scientific approach to literature,” because it advocates methodical and systematic readings of texts”. In this case, the structure of poem titled the Hymn of Apollo has six stanzas with 6 six…

Ashley Carrizales Ms.McCain English AP-IV April 5, 2013 When Life Gives you Time, Make it Last Life is a spontanoeus journey we all must travel on at one time or another that essentially takes our breath completely away. William Shakespere author of " Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore" demonstrates how life may be beautiful but fades away quickly.

1. The speaker's tone will change in a few ways in the first stanza of the poem "Dover Beach." The first change will come when the poem shifts from a third person’s view concerning the scenery in the first ‘five’ lines to directly addressing a listener. “Come to the window, sweet is the night-air! ... Listen! you hear” ... The tone of the beginning of the stanza is peaceful an calm, and uses words like "tranquil," "calm," and "sweet", the scene is described as "fair". In the second part of the…

When considering the tone of “The Road Not Taken”, it can be said that, even though the narrator wonders what the other choice would have resulted in, he seems content with the original choice made. The tone of lines nine and 10, which are written “Though as for that the passing there/Had worn them really about the same,” (Frost, 2016), could further suggest that the narrator believes that both of his choice options were nearly compatible, leading to the realization that the right choice was…

Robert Gray’s ‘Journey: the north coast” depicts the idea that rediscovering something that has been concealed can be intensely meaningful towards an individual. This is evident throughout the train journey of the persona, through the use of metaphor in “ One of those bright crockery days”. The use of metaphor is used to represent the aspect of rediscovery as the persona is reminded of his past domestic life when looking out the train window. In addition, there is a comforting freshness and…

composed of two sestets. Emily Dickinson constructs the poem in so that the first sestet paves the way for the discussion of the second sestet. Instead of pitting science and nature against each other, Dickinson uses the structure of the poem to link them. The first and the second sestet seem to build on different ideas at first, but, by the end of the poem, they transform into justifications for the existent complementary relationship between nature and science. Dickinson uses these two sestets…

is about beauty and the problem of sin in relation to the creation story in the book of Genesis about Adam and Eve. “Spring” is a Petrarchan sonnet split into an octet and sestet and is organized in such a way to allow Hopkins to discuss beauty and the problem of sin, accordingly.

I believe Hopkins uses these two themes to show that the problem of sin corrupts the beauty of nature…
