For my analogy I choose to base it over something that happen in the past (something in your life) In the poem I choose, talks about how nothing can stay the way it was, or what it used to be. In the past my family and I we had a husky. We loved that dog, it was a gift from my grandparents to us. We took care of him when he was a little puppie. At first we had no idea what to name him, my mom named him coda. He was a sweet little puppie, he loved to play outside with all of us. His favorite thing to do was to go outside and play in the yard, and destroy my mom's flowers. In the poem it calls about how all the astonishing, surprising, and stunning things in life does not last forever, and neither did coda last forever. Coda grew bigger and bigger, we all took care for coda, we all loved him very much. …show more content…
Coda loved when we went to the park to play or go for a walk. I remember when we got him, we took him to our house which then would be his home. All night that first day at his new home he would not stop crying, I thought he would eventually he would get tired and go to sleep, but he did not. After a few minutes passed since I last heard him, then the crying stopped. And he house was silent. I went to the game room where he stayed at, and saw that my mom had fallen asleep with coda on her lap, both sound asleep. I went back to sleep after that. Every day he grew and grew bigger and bigger. We all loved coda every much, but my mom loved him even more. My mom was codas famorite. Everytime we had a guest at our house and my mom was talking to that person coda would growl at the guest, because coda thought he or she would want to hurt my mom. Everytime we went shopping for want ever it was that we would be shopping for, my mom would always buy him something new, almost everyday coda had a new toy to play
It shows that similes have to be compared universally so everyone can understand. This poem is a really funny read and I
When writing poetry, there are many descriptive methods an author may employ to communicate an idea or concept to their audience. One of the more effective methods that authors often use is linking devices, such as metaphors and similes. Throughout “The Elder Sister,” Olds uses linking devices effectively in many ways. An effective image Olds uses is that of “the pressure of Mother’s muscles on her brain,” (5) providing a link to the mother’s expectations for her children. She also uses images of water and fluidity to demonstrate the natural progression of a child into womanhood. Another image is that of the speaker’s elder sister as a metaphorical shield, the one who protected her from the mental strain inflicted by their mother.
A good example would be when the mother in the story talks about her life using a metaphor of a staircase. In the beginning of the poem, the mother says, "Well, son, I’ll tell you: Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair. It’s had tacks in it, And splinters, [...] But all the time, I’se been a-climbin’ on" (Hughes lines 1-9). This metaphor describes the mother's life experience, the reader can infer was hard, but the nice part of this excerpt is the final lines, where the metaphor of continuing to climb on the staircase is used to symbolize the mother's goal to persevere, no matter how tough life gets because she believes her efforts will accomplish something good.
Imagery is a grandiose part of this poem, simile’s help the reader to comprehend the enhanced pace fast break of this poem. (L.6) “gathering the orange leather from air a cherished possession” gives the reader an image of just how essential the ball is, and that he is control of the situation. Whenever I get a chance to get a rebound like he did, I take it. It is a feeling of hard work pays off when you get the chance to get a rebound. Another example of a simile, (L.18) “ in slow motion , almost exactly like a coach’s drawing on a blackboard’
This shows that you are constantly affected by the ones you love and have loved. This poem focuses on the theme of love and its influence on your life and body,
The poem is gentle and nostalgic. It seeks not only to recreate the scene for the reader, but
Figurative Language in used throughout poems so the reader can develop a further understanding of the text. In “The Journey” the author uses rhythm and metaphors throughout the poem. “...as you left their voices behind, the stars began to burn through the sheets of the clouds..”(25-27). The author compares the star burning to finding your voice. Rhythm also develops the theme of the poem because throughout the story rhythm is presented as happy showing growing up and changing for the better is necessary and cheerful. In “The Laughing Heart” the author uses imagery and metaphors to develop the theme throughout the book. “There is a light somewhere. It may not be much light but it beats the darkness”(5-7). Always find the good out of everything, even it
I have elected to analyze seven poems spoken by a child to its parent. Despite a wide variety of sentiments, all share one theme: the deep and complicated love between child and parent.
...nal family. The second poem uses harsh details described in similes, metaphors, and personification. The message of a horribly bad childhood is clearly defined by the speaker in this poem. Finally, the recollection of events, as described by the two speakers, is distinguished by the psychological aspect of how these two children grew up. Because the first child grew up in a passive home where everything was hush-hush, the speaker described his childhood in that manner; trying to make it sound better than what it actually was. The young girl was very forward in describing her deprivation of a real family and did not beat around the bush with her words. It is my conclusion that the elements of tone, imagery, and the recollection of events are relevant to how the reader interprets the message conveyed in a poem which greatly depends on how each element is exposed.
innocence and how it all changed at the end of primary school. inky tadpoles changed from commas into exclamation marks I believe. This symbolizes the change from a child into an adolescent. However, in Piano, the poem shows us how the past will always shape us. tells us how we can never go back to the past I weep like a child for.
This poem includes quotes with informal language that children or teens would better understand. It’s narrative-based style is easy to follow, and although the poem covers very basic concepts, it’s message is still communicated subliminally. This particular poem is interesting because it focusses on the universal experience of pain and it’s relation to time. Similar to this is “The Householder”, written in a cyclical style, opening with a “house” and ending with a “home”. With only three stanzas, it is
The author uses imagery, contrasting diction, tones, and symbols in the poem to show two very different sides of the parent-child relationship. The poem’s theme is that even though parents and teenagers may have their disagreements, there is still an underlying love that binds the family together and helps them bridge their gap that is between them.
The speaker’s personal emotions emphasizes the poem’s theme since although his father is no longer with him in this world, the memory of his father will always live in his heart. Throughout the poem, Lee uses the sky, underground, and the heart to symbolize imagination, reality, and memory—emphasizing the poem’s theme of the remembrance of a loved one. Lee also uses repetition to convey the meaning of Little Father. The speaker repeatedly mentions “I buried my father…Since then…” This repetition displays the similarity in concepts, however the contrast in ideas. The first stanza focuses on the spiritual location of the speaker’s father, the second stanza focuses on the physical location of the father, and the third stanza focuses on the mental location of the speaker’s father. This allows the reader to understand and identify the shift in ideas between each stanza, and to connect these different ideas together—leading to the message of despite where the loved one is (spiritually or physically), they’ll always be in your heart. The usage of word choice also enables the reader to read in first person—the voice of the speaker. Reading in the voice of the speaker allows the reader to see in the perspective of the speaker and to connect with the speaker—understand
The metaphor I have chosen to use for my “I will always” poem is a waterfall. I feel that a waterfall best fits and defines my personality as well as my life. Each separate lines defines me as a unique person with a different personality than the people around me. As many people say the sound of trickling water is relaxing, I am open to say that I am one of them.
The day Mom got Sugar was somewhat frightening for me. Obviously, I wanted nothing to do with the dog, I never planned to be in the same room as the dog, much less, take care of the dog. After all, Mom was supposed to take care of the dog. Slowly, I fell in love with her. She looked stern and loving. Her warm, brown eyes and pearly white smile only helped me fall in love with her. Not long after that I started to enjoy her company. Sugar was a loyal dog, she wanted to please everyone. When we went for a walk Sugar would come with us. We kept her on a leash, yet she never strayed from us.
