  • The Rites For Cousin Vit Analysis

    1518 Words  | 7 Pages

    “The Rites for Cousin Vit” is from Gwendolyn Brooks' Annie Allen, the principal book by an African American to get the Pulitzer Prize for verse. Streams, conceived in 1917 in Kansas yet a Chicagoan for her eight decades, is a writer whose most grounded work joins contemporary (however seldom demotic) phrasing with an adoration for word-play and supple, elaborate punctuation reviewing Donne or even Crashaw (and as often as possible Eliot) which she conveys to tolerate, with friendly incongruity, on her subject. “Annie Allen” is an accumulation of sonnets which, taken together, narrative and counterpoint the life of a young lady and of her group: a dark average workers neighborhood in Chicago and soon after World War II. That group, and its consequent

    When people are traumatized by an event they are pushed to experience the five stages of grief. The “Gospel”, by Philip Levine and “the boy detective loses love”, by Sam Sax both use characters that are going through one of the stages of grief. Levine and Sax both explain the thoughts and process of what a person thinks when they go through these stages with imagery. Levine uses symbolism, a sad tone, and a set setting in “Gospel” to illustrate that grieving takes you into a depth of thoughts. Sax uses anaphoras, an aggressive tone, and an ambiguous setting to convey that grieving takes you into a tunnel of anger and rage.
