Opposing Gender Views in Emerson’s Give All to Love and Browning’s Sonnet 43 The concept of love has long been the preferred topic of conversation among prominent male poets. Towards the closing of the sixteenth century, however, the emerging of the female poet took place. With the introduction of Queen Elizabeth, an initial path was now cleared for future women poets to share their views on the acclaimed topic of love. Due to this clashing of ideas, the conflicting views of two exceedingly different sexes could manifest itself. Who better to discuss the topic of love then Elizabeth Barrett Browning, who expresses her ideas with intelligence comparable to the best male poets, and Emerson, world renowned for his poignant opinions? In accordance with the long history of conflict between males and females, both Emerson’s "Give All to Love" and Browning’s "Sonnet 43" convey the pleasure love brings, but while Emerson’s poem urges the retention of individualism in a relationship, Browning pleads for a complete surrender to love. Ralph Waldo Emerson has a strong history of aggressive, "masculine" behavior. "We hear his grand, assuring words, feel his powerful charm…he is impenetrable" (Whicher 39). Emerson felt that it was necessary to retain his self-dependence at all times, never swaying from his personal choices. "He taught self-reliance and felt self distrust, worshipped reality and knew illusion, proclaimed freedom and submitted to fate" (Whicher 40). Although Emerson’s confidence in his self may have reflected some sort of macho-ism or frigidness, this attitude is simply Emerson demonstrating his cool and relaxed charma: "Emerson is teaching his tested secret of insulation from calamity: ‘Live in the soul’" (Whic... ... middle of paper ... ...iscarded on a whim. Rather, it is something that will accompany you far beyond your years on this earth and through all of time. It is truly a gift and should not be treated in any other regards.

Results: Through a melting point reading, it was determined that the product obtained was 2,4-Dibromoanisol mp 55-58 C. The products obtained by my partners, were determined to be: (p-bromoacetanilide mp 160-165 C) and (2,4,6 tribromoaniline, mp of 108-110 C) respectively.
He is intensely critical of society as a whole, but believes that a man can change himself. He wrote with an encouraging tone that was also insightful to common behavior. Emerson was generally sanguine but was also pragmatic as necessary. His works incorporate a personal tone which helps to relate the reader and author. Many common aphorisms are excerpts from his work.
The Sonnet by Edna St. Vincent Millay, “Love is Not All” demonstrates an unpleasant feeling about the knowledge of love with the impression to consider love as an unimportant element that does not worth dying for; the poem is a personal message addressing the intensity, importance, and transitory nature of love. The poet’s impression reflects her general point of view about love as portrays in the title “Love is Not All.” However, the unfolding part of the poem reveals the sarcastic truth that love is important.
The IR machine was cleaned between uses to reduce contaminated data. The final product was run through the IR spectroscopy to measure the amount of light absorbed and compare it to a graph of pure 1-bromobutane to determine if it is the actual final product obtained. This comparison also shows any impurities in the final product. The graphs were similar but not perfect, implying that an impure product of 1-bromobutane was obtained. To identify the functional group of the molecule, the frequency range of the light absorption patterns was observed. Different functional groups are excited at different unique ranges between 4,000-1,250 cm^-1. The C-H axis could be found in this range. The structure of the molecule is determined by looking at a fingerprint region (1,250-500 cm^-1). The C-Br axis should be visible in this range but the IR machine was not sensitive enough. The fingerprint region is unique to each compound and helps determine things such as stereochemistry. It is important to add sodium sulfate to the product before running it through the IR. This will remove OH from the product so that it will not show up in the spectroscopy. There should be no peaks at OH after the test. My sample for this experiment had to be run through the IR spectroscopy twice because the first time had a significant OH peak. Adding more sodium sulfate to the solution and running the IR again eliminated
This alone makes them sacred and allows them to hold the spirits of the past. The names also allow the currnet generation see how the world around them has changed and calls them to find out how or why the changes have occurred in the surroundings (Basso 1996).
Relationships between two people can have a strong bond and through poetry can have an everlasting life. The relationship can be between a mother and a child, a man and a woman, or of one person reaching out to their love. No matter what kind of relationship there is, the bond between the two people is shown through literary devices to enhance the romantic impression upon the reader. Through Dudley Randall’s “Ballad of Birmingham,” Ben Jonson’s “To Celia,” and William Shakespeare’s “Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day?” relationships are viewed as a powerful bond, an everlasting love, and even a romantic hymn.
In Elizabeth Browning’s poem ‘Sonnet 43’, Browning explores the concept of love through her sonnet in a first person narrative, revealing the intense love she feels for her beloved, a love which she does not posses in a materialistic manner, rather she takes it as a eternal feeling, which she values dearly, through listing the different ways she loves her beloved.
In “Sonnet XVII,” the text begins by expressing the ways in which the narrator does not love, superficially. The narrator is captivated by his object of affection, and her inner beauty is of the upmost significance. The poem shows the narrator’s utter helplessness and vulnerability because it is characterized by raw emotions rather than logic. It then sculpts the image that the love created is so personal that the narrator is alone in his enchantment. Therefore, he is ultimately isolated because no one can fathom the love he is encountering. The narrator unveils his private thoughts, leaving him exposed and susceptible to ridicule and speculation. However, as the sonnet advances toward an end, it displays the true heartfelt description of love and finally shows how two people unite as one in an overwhelming intimacy.
Love is the ubiquitous force that drives all people in life. If people did not want, give, or receive love, they would never experience life because it is the force that completes a person. People rely on this seemingly absent force although it is ever-present. Elizabeth Barrett Browning is an influential poet who describes the necessity of love in her poems from her book Sonnets from the Portuguese. She writes about love based on her relationship with her husband. Her life is dependent on him, and she expresses this same reliance of love in her poetry. She uses literary devices to strengthen her argument for the necessity of love. The necessity of love is a major theme in Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s “Sonnet 14,” “Sonnet 43,” and “Sonnet 29.”
In the poem "How do I Love Thee", Elizabeth Barret Browning expresses her everlasting nature of love and its power to overcome all, including death. In the introduction of the poem Line 1 starts off and captures the reader’s attention. It asks the simple question, "How do I Love Thee?" Throughout the rest of the poem repetition occurs. Repetition of how she would love thee is a constant reminder in her poem. However, the reader will quickly realize it is not the quantity of love, but its quality of love; this is what gives the poem its power. For example she says, “I love thee with the breath, smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.” She is expressing how and what she would love with, and after death her love only grows stronger. Metaphors that the poet use spreads throughout the poem expressing the poets love for her significant other.
...s the Arabs’ nightmare. In 1973, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Syria decided to fight against Israel to revenge Arabs’ defeat which was in 1967. The plan was that Egypt and Syria would battle by the military while Saudi Arabia would use oil as a weapon. The result was Saudi Arabia stopped supplying oil to the USA. It took a while to settle the conflicts down. Eventually, the relationship was rehabilitated.
There are many problems present in the Middle East today. Examining these immediate issues and exploring possible future ones can provide a proper understanding of the diverse set of issues, actors, and ambitions that abound in the region. This understanding can then be the necessary foundation to examine current policy in the area and adjust it accordingly to better support US goals. One of the most important and well-know issues affecting the Middle East today is the plight of the Palestinians. Far from being confined to just an Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Palestinian refugees have made it an issue that impacts the surrounding countries of Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. Furthermore, the feeling of Arab and Islamic brotherhood has transformed the Palestinian issue into a region-wide problem which impacts U.S. policy and actions throughout the Middle East.
to be a test to the power of the Arab League and it’s presumed cooperation and handling
Becoming a founding organization in March 1945, the Arab League is steered towards the center of establishing the economy, settling disputes, and correlating political focus. The Arab League assists the progress of economic, cultural, political, social, and scientific programs to demonstrate the interests of the Arab Nations. Such institutions as the Cultural and Scientific Organization, Arab League for Educational Relations, and Arab League Council of Arab Economic Unity are among the few facilitations that help promote and serve as a forum for the member states to coordinate their policy positions, to deliberate on matters of common concern, and to settle a few Arab disputes. The Arab League plays an important role in advancing the role of women in Arabic societies, shaping the school curriculum, promoting child welfare and fostering cultural exchanges between the member states. The League has also served as a platform for the drafting and conclusion of many landmark documents promoting economic integration. For example, the Joint Arab Economic Action Charter, which sets out principles for economic activities region.
