The reason I picked the bible I did was because this is my favorite bible verse and it encourages me to keep my faith strong in the lord everyday. I picked the quote about doing the impossible because for most people driving and the ground is their limit everyday. For pilots the limit is the skies and it is almost a privilege to have the right to be in the skies. I love the song The Motions by Matthew West because it gives me the inspiration to try my hardest everyday of my life because you want to make your life count. I choose the Flyer’s Poem because to me it summarizes the coming of aviation and Christianity in my life.
Without the use of stereotypical behaviours or even language is known universally, the naming of certain places in, but not really known to, Australia in ‘Drifters’ and ‘Reverie of a Swimmer’ convoluted with the overall message of the poems. The story of ‘Drifters’ looks at a family that moves around so much, that they feel as though they don’t belong. By utilising metaphors of planting in a ‘“vegetable-patch”, Dawe is referring to the family making roots, or settling down somewhere, which the audience assumes doesn’t occur, as the “green tomatoes are picked by off the vine”. The idea of feeling secure and settling down can be applied to any country and isn’t a stereotypical Australian behaviour - unless it is, in fact, referring to the continental
The contrast that develops in the poem On The Subway would be the race and the way both characters are dressed. From the poets tone a reader could infer that she was prejudice towards the boy.
The poem “To You” by Kenneth Koch is a romantic love poem that the persona uses to express his deep love to his love. The title of the poem “To You” further reveals how the persona treasures his love. He directly addresses her and showers her with deep and romantic emotional feelings. The poem is radiant and possesses high spirits as well as the rare moods in which inspiration, affection, and happiness are the same, since they reflect how you feel. At the end of the poem, there is unity between sunlight and the attention of the lover. This depicts the persona’s world. That is, the water that is heart is swimming in. this further portrays love to him, as a pathway and a necessity from which he derives his joy and happiness.
The poem “One Today” by Richard Blanco has a variety of excellent vocabulary. Although there are a few words where I would have chosen a couple different paths that would make it more interesting. Maybe even flow a bit better. For starters in the beginning of the poem in the 3rd paragraph in the 4th line it says ‘…the “I have a dream” we all keep dreaming’ I believe that if we could replace the second “dream” with fantasizing it will leave more of a mystic and mysterious effect. The next word that I would change is in the 5th paragraph 3rd line and it is the word gorgeous. To me I don’t find the “honking of cabs” gorgeous. But I do find it pleasing, if I were to keep up with the positive tone of this poem. Words. They do have a big impact
Imagine yourself lying in the sun, feeling the warmth on your skin, when a cloud cover the sun and you feel the sudden coldness that you can seem to shake? The feeling is similar when you love someone very much but they don’t return the feeling. The band, 5 Seconds of Summer (5SOS), in their song, If You Don’t Know, sings about how a singer is in love with a person. The person seems to not be sure if they are in love with the singer, and the the singer wishes for the person to let them go. The couple that 5SOS wrote about was in love at one time, but the person is slowly falling out of love with the singer.
This darkly satiric poem is about cultural imperialism. Dawe uses an extended metaphor: the mother is America and the child represents a younger, developing nation, which is slowly being imbued with American value systems. The figure of a mother becomes synonymous with the United States. Even this most basic of human relationships has been perverted by the consumer culture. The poem begins with the seemingly positive statement of fact 'She loves him ...’. The punctuation however creates a feeling of unease, that all is not as it seems, that there is a subtext that qualifies this apparently natural emotional attachment. From the outset it is established that the child has no real choice, that he must accept the 'beneficence of that motherhood', that the nature of relationships will always be one where the more powerful figure exerts control over the less developed, weaker being. The verb 'beamed' suggests powerful sunlight, the emotional power of the dominant person: the mother. The stanza concludes with a rhetorical question, as if undeniably the child must accept the mother's gift of love. Dawe then moves on to examine the nature of that form of maternal love. The second stanza deals with the way that the mother comforts the child, 'Shoosh ... shoosh ... whenever a vague passing spasm of loss troubles him'. The alliterative description of her 'fat friendly features' suggests comfort and warmth. In this world pain is repressed, real emotion pacified, in order to maintain the illusion that the world is perfect. One must not question the wisdom of the omnipotent mother figure. The phrase 'She loves him...' is repeated. This action of loving is seen as protecting, insulating the child. In much the same way our consumer cultur...
Romanticism is a major concept used in the 18th-19th centuries in revolt against Enlightened thinkers of prior centuries. The writer, Wordsword, is a poet that uses romantic ideas in his writings. Wordsword wrote the poem, “Daffodils”, using the characteristics of romanticism to develop the theme of nature’s connection to humanity. Wordsword uses appropriate setting, imagery, speaker, literary techniques, and other writing tools. These tools help his readers grasp the beauty and personality of daffodils.
For my confirmation, I chose to follow and take the name Cecilia. She was born in the 2nd century to a very rich family living in Rome with a deep connection with God and the angels.
My partner cued me to begin reciting the second part of our AP U.S. History poem. “You said Hamilton supported Jefferson’s reign, but did he really? The last time I checked, rivalry flowed through their veins.” I stopped, but my mind was still running, “Uhhh, what was the next line? Oh no…”
Literary elements are the components of a written piece formed by an author. For example, a poem or short story, in which all of them have settings, plots, and themes that are used to help elaborate their compositions. They help depict the author’s intentions and encourage insight or understanding of the overall meaning even if it’s not easily understood by the reader. “Blue Winds Dancing” by Tom Whitecloud and “The Victims” by Sharon Olds both show examples of conflicts that evolve dynamic characters as a product of growth from their previous experiences.
In J. Coles album “4 Your Eyez Only” Cole discusses matters such as violence, his and his friends dreams, and drugs, but the main focus of the album is racial inequality. Throughout the ten songs on his album, Cole is able to express events in his life that helped sway his mind on controversial topics.
her parents. After I read and re-read and re-read the article “I Stand Here Writing”, it is clearly to see the opinion that the author wants to show us, as a writer, it’s important and necessary to use a different way to think, it will help you to find new characteristics and traits so that we could obtain inspiration to write, and sometimes when we need to compare two things, it help to find new traits and discover the relationship between different experience, ideas that seems unrelated.
In Crane Poem “The Wayfarer” the speaker is in a journey to truth. He see that the path he is trying to follow is broad with weeds, and that symbolize that truth is sometimes very difficult to anticipate, because is clouded with “weeds”. In this poem he state that each weed is a “Singular Knife”. The speaker is trying to tell us that every single weed is some bump to find the truth, like some kind of deception, or harmless untruth. He also tell us that there are not many people interesting in finding the truth, because he says that there is evidence that the path has not been traveled much.
I think that this poem is about the angel of death who is here to take
The poem that gave me the greatest emotional reaction was “Dusting”. The poem is very touching to me. The girl in the poem is describe putting her scribbling everywhere and her mother keeps erasing her scribblings. This poem is showing how the girl is trapped in her mom shadow. She wants more in life she doesn’t want to be like her mother, she wants to be better than her mom. In some cultural you see that a lot where the parents try to guide their children down the same career path they are in. Most of the time the children wants to explore and try different things. This poem makes me feel bad for the girl, because her mom is holding her back, meanwhile the girl is just wanting to be successful and become somebody. Sometimes as parents you
