Both these stories involve darkness but they are used in 2 different ways. In the story, “We grow accustomed to the dark,” The author Dickinson’s is talking about how she is becoming accustomed to the dark.. In the story “Before I got my eye put out” she talks about how life was with vision and how she took advantage of having good sight. It shows you to not be ungrateful about stuff in your life because any second it could be gone. In this poem “before I got my eye put out” it is written in a riddle and can be hard to understand. The main purpose of this poem is the author talking about how she lost her sight and regrets taking advantage of it for so long. On lines 16-17 it says “for mine - to look at when I liked, the news would strike me dead -“. This quote is saying that she would be able to look around whenever she wanted to but when she found out she …show more content…
This poem is about the author adjusting to life after being told she was blind. She talks about the struggles and how she views life different after being blind. On lines 17-18 she says “the bravest - grope a little - and sometimes hit a tree”. In this quote the author is saying the bravest people are able to adjust to the darkness but every once in awhile they will have a little mess up or set back. I think this quote is 100% true and I really like it. The tone in the poem “before I got my eye put out” seems pretty depressing but at the same time it is kind of joyful. It is depressing because she is saying she lost her sight and is upset how she took advantage of sight. Then on the other hand it is kind of joyful because she talks about all the things she saw that would make her happy. The tone in “we grow accustomed to the dark” is serious and motivated. She is talking about how life is without sight and how she is doing he best to adjust and she’s motivated to get completely adjusted to
Glaucoma is a disease of the eye and it is fluid pressure within the eye rises and if the eye is left untreated the patient might lose vision or maybe even blind. But this disease is generally affects both eyes but although one of their eyes may have more severe signs or symptoms then the other eye. When you have glaucoma there are small spaces in the front of the eye and they are called anterior chamber. There is clear liquid that flows in and out of the anterior chamber and the fluid nourishes and bathes nearby the tissues. And if the patient has glaucoma the fluid dose not drain like it should drain but the fluid drains out of the eye. And this may lead to fluid build up and pressure inside the rises of the eye. Unless the pressure is brought down and controlled and the optic nerves and some of the other parts of the eye might become damaged leading to ...

When I first read the poem, I did get a sense of a dark, cloudy day, kind of gloomy day. However, by the end, I did have a more uplifting feeling afterwards. In the first two lines, the reader is exposed to a cold, rough ground, with the speaker picking the last available onions of the year (Lee, 1-2). The tone of the poem does progress into a much
...ke up and have a better one. The meaning you get from reading this poem is just great. It saying be strong and keep moving because tomorrow is another day to have a great day and not all days will be easy and great but you have to remember that every day is a new one to make it better. This poem is a stanza and the tone is mad but just by reading it anyone can understand why.
In many parts of the poem, Guest uses metaphors to show the strength that one should always keep while facing their troubles. He tells his readers to "Lift your chin and square your shoulders, plant your feet and take a brace" to prepare for whatever could be ahead (lines 2-3). Even through the metaphor "Black may be the clouds above you" which gives a clear perception of difficult and hopeless moments that might be surrounding an individual, it is still better than running since it "will not save you" (lines 8-11). It is throughout the poem that Guest has used many metaphors to remind his readers about the facing the problems that will lie ahead. It is even pointed at points, such as, "You may fail, but fall fighting" to remind the reader that not all problems can be confronted. However, the author suggests that with a person's body language, like standing tall, could become a resolve. With these metaphorical commands, it gives the reader the feeling of a solider or fighter that is preparing to face an enemy. This is also further emphasized from his use of repetition. Guest repeats the figurative phrase, "See it through" to show the reader to overcome the toughest or most hopeless of problems. It is also from this statement that he suggests to go keep going no matter what since in the end it is possible that one can succeed. Becoming the clearest and most encouraging phrase and title of the poem, Guest has made the distinction of his theme to overcome everything that one can in order to achieve the best for one's
No one should let others opinions influence what they do and no one should not do something because they are worried what others will think. In the poem the narrator tells the story of a person who is scared to talk about themselves because they were criticized once for it. They are worried about others opinion and spend their time working to be liked by everyone. The stanzas in the poem help to emphasize the meaning of the poem by breaking it up into three different parts of the story. The first part talks about the incident where the person the narrator was talking about was hurt. The narrator recalls the incident while talking to the person they wrote the poem about, “do you remember the first time you were called annoying/how your breath stopped short in your chest” (1-2). The person in which the poem was about was hurt because of something someone said to them. They were called annoying and didn't know how to respond because they took the insult to heart. The second stanza talks about how the person in which the poem was wrote about is still hurt. The narrator shows the person who the poem is wrote about is still hurt, “you’re 20 now/ and I still see the light fade from your eyes when you talk about your interests for too long”(8-9). The person who the poem wrote about is still hurt by what someone said to them when they were thirteen. Someone called them
Losing things that mean the most to you is always hard . people deal with loss in different way . That’s what makes us human . even though we act directly to things that have value to us , we all have the same feeling . Maybe just a different order of things. The two speakers in “We grow accustomed to the Dark” and “Before I got my eye put out” show that people take loss in different ways . What we should learn from the two poems is we should grow and move on for loss but never completely loss it
Both poems are about the love each narrator feels, and both strive to express how intense this love is. Yet, each author comes from a different angle with the hope of explaining this love. Browning uses soft imagery with terms like, "ideal grace", "Most quiet need", and "purely" to show her narrator's love. These soft, feminine terms give the reader images of a pure, untainted love. Conversely, Auden's poem uses much darker, modern language, and instead of mentioning death only at the end of the poem, all but three lines concern death. This use of language and focus causes Auden's poem to be very negative, while Browning's remains positive, even in light of death.
One of the special sense organs is the eye. The main structures of the eye are the sclera, choroid, and the retina. The sclera is known to protect the outer layer of the eye, the sclera have six tiny muscles that connect to it to help control the eye movement. The main function of the choroid is to prevent the scattering of light via the pigmented vascular layer. The choroid is divided into four parts: the haller’s layer, sattler’s layer, choriocapillaris and brunch’s membrane. The iris and cornea make up the front part of the choroid and the center of the iris is pupil of the eye. The retina is the innermost layer of the eyeball. The main function of the retina is to detect light per the photoreceptor cells. These photoreceptor cells are microscopic and are called cones and rods due to their shape.
Nature gives life and hope to certain people. The beautiful scenes as you walk outside is the justice that nature gives to every human when they hope for something better. Nature can be hurt and damages too causing it to lose the beautiful image that it sets outside. The speaker in this piece talks about the roadside flowers, too wet for the bee, wood-worlds torn despair, and easily shattered roses. You can put yourself in this poem and as you walk down a clear trail, you see the flowers with rain droplets sitting on them, the trees that make up the forest are torn and do not seem to create anything worthwhile. As you walk down this trail, you also see the easily shattered roses that could have been something so beautiful but instead was something that had been damaged over time.
Lastly, the overall message of this poem is that people through modern times doesn’t think about the people suffering in wars, hey don’t care enough. It makes us question on how we should act and how this affects our lives. Should we care more and sympathise about those that are dying, those that are innocent and suffering? This poem was very successful in making me re think about my emotions towards the was and it definitely made me look at the war photographer in a better light as they put their lives at risk to keep us posted on what’s happening overseas. This was cleverly written and Duffy’s emotions really showed about how she is disappointed and frustrated on how we look at war and death.
This poem also expresses that government makes it seem that everyone else is doing the “right thing”, so you must follow in their footsteps and if you do so your reward is a happy and fulfilled life with all the comforts of the modern man. The standards are constantly changing so that you will never reach the optimum point, therefore you must always strive to improve. This can be seen in the 2000 Presidential Race. We the people have followed the same uniform procedures in determining our presidents since the founding of our country, yet we are now being told these standards are “outdated” and “unreliable”, which in turns breaks down our faith and the faith of other countries in our political system.
This is a wonderful poem with many different themes and ideas. One of the biggest themes is not being afraid to take a chance. Some of the other themes include, not following the crowd, trying new things, and standing for something. This poem stated that the author "took the one (road) less traveled by, and that has made all the difference" so the author is telling the reader that we too should not be afraid to take another path.
The narrator was very descriptive by comparing herself to a lonely tree. A tree represents "Strength" and protection. The female character in this poem doesn’t acknowledging that she is strong to recognize her mistakes. She is strong to endure being left alone even after all her mistakes in life. The central idea of the poem is " Loneliness and regret". Two emotions that will devour you completely. She acknowledges her past mistake allowing man to take her for granted.
This poem shows that all people feel empathy for other people, and we receive this emotion from God, who shares in the suffering of every single living creature, no matter how small. God does not give preference to the sorrow one person, but rather in there say and night through every struggle of every creature. Blake uses rhetorical questions to call into light questions people know the answer too, but are sometime to blind to see.
