The Pale

Figurative language, when used by poets, conveys both central and subliminal message within the poem. In Keats poem, "La Belle Dame sans Merci", figurative language such as allegory, apostrophe, personification, symbols and metaphors reveal Keats idea that love's a source of destruction, death, and deceit. Keats also uses these devices to express the Knight's credulous and easily captivated nature and the three shifts in tone; melancholy, admiration, and trepidation. People who fall in love…

Showing the hardworking women of WW2, painted in 1943, Evelyn Dunbar’s Baling Hay, an oil on canvas, shows grey and pale pink sky filling the top of the painting. On the left, two women wearing green shirts and brown pants stand atop piles of hay. In front of and in the middle, a woman wearing the same attire as the other two women holds a pitchfork holding a large bundle of hay. The woman with the pitchfork is shoveling hay into a large red machine which takes up the middle of the painting. On…

of the grenades with, the menacing heavy floating of the sharks by the pale eyes, the restless somersaults of barracudas' shoals, in their unconscious wait for the descent of darkness over the seabed; the turbid elegance of eels, the thrushes by the transparent colors - marine spectra, the squids with paper helmets whose movements remind terribly of the ancient grace of your silks. I wonder, Mrs. Rogers, whether in your pale eyes, in the blackness of your window might be hiding the deepest point…

bird, perched with clipped wings. Her bow is strung. At the ready. A cut to her face, and those Seam eyes are too far gone. She is focused on something that she wishes to unsee, distant, and yet strangely haunting. An oily tear adds a gloss to her pale translucence against the frozen water. A wordless scene that seems to scream its meaning above all volumes. And as this happens, on a flat screen a whole 50 feet…

On First Looking into Chapman’s Homer describes the speaker’s reaction to Homer, the translation of the Iliad and the Odyssey by George Chapman. The “realms of gold” and “godly states and kingdoms” (line 1-2) the speaker refers to in the first stanza describes the many poems he has read in his lifetime. They were rich in culture, meaning and intellectual thought. His idea of travel alludes to the Iliad because it recounts the process it was for the Greek to siege the city of Troy in the Trojan…

I'm in love, not boyfriend-like that role has been taken, however, I'm in love with milo. The gay British conservative whose fighting for the last rights of man. I'm unsure what actually tickles me, the hair, the politics, the outlandish sassy style or the slam-dunks against crazy feminist. Either way, I'm suffering from hot flushes. Like all romantic infatuations, I'm unsure when the spark hit my soul. All I know is that I'm binge watching 9+ hours of his beautiful golden locks. His most…

Canessa was reluctant; his fear had its hands wrapped around him, holding him back. He watched as Parrado cautiously set one foot into the jetting river, shivering as he did so. Parrado looked back at Canessa, whose eyes where filled with dread, and called out through gasped breaths, “If you stay there you’ll die, if you take a chance then you might survive. Come on.” Realising he couldn’t last on his own, Canessa waded into the river following Parrado. They were now both surrounded by water…

shows more suspense. I think the original book ¨The Tell-Tale Heart” is better by it having more sensory details. Throughout the book it shows who, how, why, where, when everything happens in specifics. For example ¨He had the eye of a vulture --a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees --very gradually --I made up…
