her readers and help them understand the feelings that she experiences. Bradstreet sees herself s the “mother” (line 23) of this work, which she calls an “ill-formed offspring” (line 1) and she gives the work many human characteristics to enhance the effect of the conceit. She says that the “child” had been by her side until “snatched from thence by friends, less wise than true” (line 3). Bradstreet’s works would probably never have been published had it not been for her brother-in-law. A person
that the last line of the poem was written in an undefined way with purpose on Frost's side. But each critic poses his own ideas regarding what is the meaning of that line. While Carter examines the whole poem in order to answer this question, Huzzard chose to focus only on the last two lines. The heart of Frost's poem is a picture, which is described in the octave. We are introduced to three creatures the narrator happened to come across: "a dimpled spider, fat and white" (line 1), a white flower
“Lies” and “Dover Beach” The poem “Lies” by Martha Collins who plays so well with the word “lie” in the first six lines of this poem. “Lies” is a great piece that includes a strong mixed languages and imageries.With her choice of language, “Lies” has many of its different meanings that did get me so confusing when I just first read this poem. Collins uses the single word “lie” which seems crucial to the poem’s total effect and theme. This mess of words helps us to point out how much one word (lie)
love is not love" (lines 1-2). In these lines, the speaker is saying that he will not accept that problems can terminate the relationship between two people who are truly in love. The first line of this sonnet uses alliteration of words me, marriage, and minds; this places emphasis on the emotion in that line. The semicolon in the following line shows that the phrase "[a]dmit impediments" (line 2) refers to the first line. The latter part of the line, "love is not love" (line 2), refers to the
Question (i) 1.0 Introduction: With technology, spoken language has become one of the major interests among linguists. Previously, written discourse was the main concern as it was easy to access any data whereas spoken language needed to go through various levels such as recording and transcribing in order to be able to obtain authentic data. Though it may sound easy, sometimes restrictions such as a low quality voice recorder was used or difficulty in transcribing slang would make it difficult for

While this is only one sonnet and others may still reveal the possibility of a sexual love triangle between Shakespeare, the young man, and the "Dark Lady", I believe most are not gender specific and those that are, like sonnet 95, suggest
“We Real Cool” poem proves you can give a lot of personality and insight to a group of characters in eight lines. With the lines “We real cool, We Left school (Lines 1-2)” it tells us that these kids left school to chase after their perception of cool. The poet reveals the fact that these boys are also uneducated, rebellious and arrogant. This poem will be the prime example of quality. Characterization is the mere act of giving a character a personality or exposition on their insight or reaction
Love Prevails "Idea: Sonnet 61" by Michael Drayton is a fourteen line Petrarchan sonnet that dramatizes the conflicting emotions that arise from an intimate relationship coming to an abrupt end. After analyzing and doing several closer readings, I learned that "Idea: Sonnet 61" is actually about the poet’s own conflicting emotions and feelings from a harsh break up. However, it was no ordinary and flippant relationship. It was a serious relationship that involved great amounts of passion that
A Mad Girl’s Love Song In Sylvia Plath’s poem “A Mad Girl’s Love Song”, it is hard to determine whether the speaker is mad or going mad. Plath along with all women in this time period were defined by their relationship to a man. When a woman was abandoned by her beloved it was Earth-shattering, as it still can be for many women today.
