Did I Miss Anything Tom Wayman Analysis

Since the poem is a Blues, the phonological structure of the text is of great importance and at the same time it cannot be expected to find many regularities. This assumption can be validated at first glance: There is no veritable rhyme scheme. On the other hand, there two dysillabic internal rhymes {\tql}bunch, hunch{\tqr} (l.1) and {\tql}sputter, gutter{\tqr} (l.2-3). Still the author uses a lot of other sound patterns as for example Alliteration, Consonance, Assonance and Onomatopoeia. For each only one or two examples are given due to their high occurrence. Alliterations can be found in the sixth line: {\tql}\underline{p}ass \underline{p}estilence{\tqr} or the seventh:{\tql}\underline{b}ent, \underline{b}lack{\tqr}. The two internal rhymes

              It was an abnormally hot summer day. July 1st the start of summer baseball. I was woken up by my very obnoxious alarm and immediately shot up out of my bed knowing it was the beginning of my favorite time of year. I went through my morning routine and got in the car for a long ride to South Carolina. I arrived at the complex and it wasn’t even the fields that I was amazed at. It was the nature and its scenery behind it. It looked like someone painted the scenery. It was amazing. There were mountains in the background and bright green trees surrounding every field.  In the movie Dead Poets Society, a new English teacher, John Keating, is introduced to an all-boys preparatory school that is known for its ancient traditions and high standards.

Death. topic many find difficult to talk about, but its discussed at sparingly. In the poem, “The Raven” by Edgar Alan Poe, the author uses many different elements as symbols. A raven is usually the symbol of something dark and sinister. A raven is also a sign of death. This poem also deals with losing hope, even though the narrator has no right to even have the small amount. This poem deals with his dead leave Lenore, and how the raven torments him into insanity.

Billy Collins appropriately created the title “Schoolsville” for this poem. The title is broken down and is imagined by readers of a little town occupied by former students who still act as they did in high school. From the beginning line, it is clear to the reader that the speaker is reminiscing his past by “glancing over my shoulder at the past,” (Collins 534). By stating, “I realize the number of students he has taught is enough to populate a small town,” also adds to the image created by the title (Collins 534). The speaker has taught so many years that his former students could populate a town.

“Night” is a poem by Hilda Doolittle better known as H.D. Born in Pennsylvania on September 10, 1998. The work of H.D was “characterized by the intense strength of her image economy of language and use of classical mythology”. Mythology is the myths of a group of people depending on each culture. While classical is a long established event or idea or also traditional, HD used traditional myths to create each poem. She was also the leader of the imagist movement which was very important at that time. The Imagist movement was a group of people that prefer imagery and clear sharp language for their poetry. Her work wasn’t popular due to the fact that she “spoke to an audience which was unready to respond to the strong feminist principles articulated

Edgar Allan Poe’s work has been admired for centuries. One of his most famous works, The Raven is one many people gravitate towards. This 108 line poem consists of assonance and religious allusions to contrast many different types of religion including Christianity and Hellenism. This gives the audience an inside view on Poe’s religious views, or lack thereof.

Throughout the poem she uses imagery as well. She said in stanza four, “And a husband who has wiped off his eyes in order not to see my inside out.” This

There are some very clear viewpoints within the poem that the poet has made very clear to understand. The point of "Nothing" is the sort of sarcastic view of the student thinking that nothing of much importance could have happened in the students absence. That if the student was not there the student could easily catch up. As the poem continues the student begins to worry that he/she may have missed something important and ensues in trying to reassure him/herself that nothing would have happened. Then there is the view of the teacher whom tries to explain to the student that in fact he/she did actually miss something of importance, "exam worth 40 percent". The teacher does not actually mean the thing he/she says but is referring to the fact that he/she may have decided to hold an exam that day or give out a piece of homework and the student would be none the wiser due to the fact that they were not there. This is the teacher putting over the viewpoint that every day in class is important as the next due to the fact that you are learning everyday and you may

He is well known for his disregard of traditional poetic expression, and tendency to invent words.

The line break that stands out the most to me is “Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead” (W. H. Auden). The short but strong line creates an uneasiness in a person’s mind if put towards one they may love. Included in the same sentence is the dictation that stands out the most to me which is, “He is Dead.” A poem is written to draw the reader in, creating the scene, emotion, and mood for one to feel what the writer is expressing in in the poem, consequently he was able to write a masterpiece including all the essential key components making me feel the sorrow of the
