The man sending the rose picks this flower because socially it carries the message of…

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.

In the sixth stanza Angelou says, “You may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, you may kill me with your hatefulness, but still like air I rise.”.

once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils;” In the first stanza of the poem uses a simile to describe the loneliness William was feeling when he stumbled upon the daffodils. “Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze,” shows the reader, through uses of a metaphor to describe his view of the daffodils by comparing them to a crowd of people.

In “A Psalm of Life,” Longfellow argues that life should not end abruptly at death, whereas in “The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls,” he learns to accept death as an inescapable ending to someone’s life. As a young man, Longfellow argues that life is too good to just end in death. In the first two lines of “A Psalm of Life…
