At first, it was about the rhythm, but it was never just about the rhythm. Music didn’t captivate me because of the power it had to make my body move, beginning with the tapping of my foot and ending with the opening up of my vocal cords. In fact, it was about my mother and the joy I saw on her face as she listened to traditional Peruvian creole music in a restaurant. On October 31, 2016, the night of Halloween, my little brother was predictably complaining because we were celebrating Peruvian…

In Ode 1 the tone starts as reverence for man and his achievements, but in the last stanza, the tone changes to acknowledgement of man's limitations. The ode began by saying man is the greatest force on this earth, "Numberless are the world's wonders, but none more wonderful than man," (1).

There is an extremely strong sense of emotion throughout this poem which also contributes to the continuous repetition of certain lines such as, "I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow." (line 1). This repetition of lines proves one of the main points of the poem in which creativity comes to everyone in their own way.…

I feel that this poem has a legato and flowing toneto it. It rhymes with a scheme of…
