Annabel Lee Comparison

J.T. Holden’s narrative poem “The Walrus and the Carpenter Head Back” is nothing more than a sequel to Lewis Carroll’s Narrative poem “The Walrus and the Carpenter”. What makes a sequel as good as the first? The answer is similar structural elements. Holden made sure to include in his poem very similar elements that could be found in Carroll’s poem as well to insure that he stayed true to his source of information. These elements include word choice, themes and setting, and characters.

There’s no doubt the concept of these two poems are the same. Even though the history behind their names is different. They both share the same point of view of their names: shame. Both talk about their history and both want nothing to do with their name because it doesn’t represent them. They dislike the origins of the names, it’s history of an ancestor befouling the family name. However, just because the poems share the same message and tone, it doesn’t mean the history is the

In the poem, “A Noiseless Patient Spider” by Walt Whitman a spider is talked about. The use of the noiseless patient spider seems to compare with the author. If the author were more patient and quiet he could be someone. The analogy is used to compare the boring spider to the life of the author. Imagery, metaphors, and analogies are all used to compare the spider to the soul of the speaker.

Edgar Allan Poe had experienced a loss multiple times. Poe married his cousin when she was 13, he was 27. Both of Poe’s parents died in 1811 and so he was raised as a foster child. In the poem “Annabel Lee” he talks about how his love Annabel Lee passed away. In the poem “The Raven” he talks about his love, Lenore passing away and The Raven comes to him and is repetitive. “Annabel Lee” and “The Raven” are similar because they both have the same mood and topic; however the two poems are different because the speaker felt differently about both of his lost girls.

Edgar Allen Poe was an American poet who lived from 1809 to 1849. He died an untimely death, but wrote many great works in his short life. Two of these imaginative pieces, both poems, include Annabel Lee, published in 1849, and The Raven, published in 1845. These poems are very similar in many ways. Like most of Poe’s works, they focus on love and loss, and sanity versus madness. Their rhyme structures differ, but their forms, on the page, are almost identical. Both of these poems include imagery and figurative language, along with sound devices. Both poems have a different speakers, but both are grieving and are saddened by the loss of their lovers. All in all, Poe’s poems are

Another difference is the excerpt has a lot of imagery to describe the settings, the way something feels or the descriptions of something that is happening. The poem doesn’t have any imagery in it rather it has forms of manipulation, sarcasm, and Irony. These affect the rhythm of the story and the theme of both passages. A lot of Imagery makes the story more intense and easier to understand. Irony makes the poem lighter and gives it a more smooth

Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories and poem, “Alone”, “Hop-Frog”, and “The Raven” are similar because they have a sense of darkness, but each passage has its own sense of sadness that differentiates the tones of the individual story.

- During the relationship of Antonia and Jim, I would have to say that Jim learns more from their relationship. Although Jim does teach Antonia English. Jim learns more than just a language. First of all, Jim learns more about Bohemian people and their culture. Jim finds out that Bohemian people are more trusting than say Americans. This is supported by when Antonia's father offers his gun to Jim as a gift when he's older even when he doesn't know much of Jim at this point. He also learns about himself a little bit. When Jim and Antonia was going to a garden to dig up potatoes, they came across a huge rattlesnake. As the rattlesnake perked up to attack, Jim rushed in and drove his shovel on it's head. He killed the rattlesnake with multiple

Over the course of human history, a countless amount of poems have been written by a numerous amount of poets. With such a myriad of poetry, similarities between these literary works is inevitable; in the same vein, this guarantees a huge degree of diversity as well. Even with two poems that appear to be the same, one would likely find contrasting elements within them, and vice-versa. This can be related to life itself: many people go through the same types of condition but face different outcomes, or conversely, different circumstances with similar results. Two poems about like situations in life and their differing aftermaths are “The Lanyard” by Billy Collins and “The Gift” by Li-Young Lee. At face value, these poems tell quite comparable stories. Both of the poems have related themes and symbols, tones that are close yet disparate, and similar structures yet differing use of language.

The world has yet to know “its” true secrets and dive deeper under the mask of perception. Though we may feel like nature is throwing karma at us at times, we continue to honor nature for its patience. In the poems, “Ode to Enchanted Light” by Pablo Neruda and “Sleeping in the Forest” by Mary Oliver, both of the literary works share an appreciation for nature. Though this is true for both, they express their love and feelings differently. Pablo Neruda’s poem praises light as enchanting, whereas Mary Oliver’s poem personifies Earth as a motherly figure and gives off mother nature vibes. The earth seems to comfort the speaker as they go through a series of gentle, calm events to help them sleep. Although both poems glorify nature, one specifically celebrates light while the other shares the speaker’s relationship with the earth. Both poems perform different methods to evaluate and share its purpose.

Edgar Allan Poe is one of the most notable poets as he has had many powerful and creative pieces that became very popular. As a young boy he had many problems growing up Poe lost his mother when he was only sixteen and left to fend for himself. Throughout his life he was a hopeless romantic who got into a lot of relationships. One of the most known relationships that he got into was with Annabel Lee in which he had created as his last poem before his unexpected death, Annabel Lee. At the time he wasn’t only mourning the death of Annabel Lee but also the death of his wife a few years back which is the reason that he wrote The Raven. Learning about how all of the people that he loved, and cared for died will show just about anyone that it was not an easy life for Poe. A critic once said that Poe wrote and knew that any type of love had to come with loss (Kennedy). This showed a lot about Poe’s life as everyone that he loved he actually did lose. This made it a lonely life that made him very depressed. In his poems, Edgar Allan Poe, portrayed that his loneliness has came from the love, and loss of his most important people.

On the other hand, in the poem, Poe uses a shorter and more simple word choice, as well as shorter sentences, to create a rhythm and flow in the poem “Annabel Lee.” The narrator describes how the angels were “...not half so happy in heaven, went envying her [Annabel Lee] and me--Yes!--that was the reason (as all men know, in this kingdom by the sea), that the wind came out of the cloud by night, chilling and killing my Annabel Lee” (Poe 1). Poe uses this short sentence structure to give the reader a good understanding of what is happening, but also restricts the amount of information that the reader knows, such as who Annabel Lee is, or even who the narrator is. Not to mention, even with the extremely simple diction, the reader is able to picture what is happening in the poem, such as how the angels came out of the clouds, “chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.” The simple type of sentence structure, along with the specifically chosen diction, also creates a vagueness in the

When reading the two poems, one can definitely catch the similarities of both poems, yet how they vary differently. One poem talks about how the winter evening makes the day feel and the other talks about how dark it is in the cellar and the how life is down there. They both seem to have been written by someone going through depression or a difficult situation in life. Many poems can be written to sound similar to another piece of work, yet have different meaning and ideas. The poems I chose seem to both be in a dark, dull, cold setting. One being the cold winter evening and the second in the dark and cold cellar. Reading the two poems shows that both poems are similar, but vary in details, being one talking about the winter evening and the other talking about the cool cellar and how lifeless it seems down there.

For starters similarities can be really useful in finding comparisons between both texts. In both the poem
