It isn’t something you see in a typical person’s everyday life even though it is extremely valuable. She uses this poem to try and change the negative stigma associated with poetry and convince readers of the countless benefits that come with it. Ruth Forman uses an authoritative tone, imagery, and personification, in her poem, Poetry Should Ride the Bus, to convey the idea that poetry should be appreciated rather than feared. The fear of poetry stems from fearing the unknown, generally humans fear things that they do not understand.

Towards the end of the novel, Meg and her friends are able to escape the possession of IT by failing to count in unison with the man bearing red eyes and yelling out various things while the man attempts to control them. The man, who is one of the few opposing forces in the novel, informs them that failing to do a simple task is a form of one of their many weaknesses and can no longer be tolerated. Fortunately, Meg, Calvin, and Charles Wallace realize the hypnosis that the man was attempting to put on them and are eventually led to Meg’s father. The children knew that if they wanted to escape IT’s grasp, they needed to have confidence in their differences and use their “weakness” to escape eventual annihilation.

are all ways a writer can make a reader feel a certain mood. Setting and diction were used in these stories. It’s interesting how an author can change the way someone thinks about something by using one of these elements in their writing. If the character's in “Back Roads” never came across the fascinating river or statute, the reader would most likely be very bored with the story. And if the character in “A Winter’s Drive” never found the box he was looking for, there wouldn’t be an anxious feeling at all because what would the reader have to look forward to in the story?

The form of the poem is structured effectively to enhance the readers’ understanding of the author 's intentions The voice B the superficial aspect of the author’s person, or it can be said to represent the goural people on their fears and insecurity about the future.

The excuses are portrayed in such a way that demonstrates that the subject is merely trying to convince herself of reasons as to why she should let the bleeding stop by itself instead of calling for help. The continuation of dissonance throughout the poem enforces the warning of what occurs if we ignore our problems and choose to not ask and accept help. This is conveyed through the harshness of the words which have the effect of catching the readers attention. The narrative adaptation of Michael Laskey’s poem ‘The Flat-warming’ explores the consequences that occur when a person refuses to accept help and denies any need for it in order to maintain a sense of pride and independence. The first three paragraphs explore different moments in which Hannah, the subject of ‘The Flat-warming’ adaptation, is experiencing problems such as head-spins, nausea and blurry vision which cause her to zone out of conversations and, in the fourth paragraph, drop a mug which results in cutting her hand, this goes unnoticed until she visibly becomes aware of the vast

Similar to Orpheus famous expedition with Jason on the Argo. The poem captures the moment when we decide that we must listen to our own voices in order to live an authentic life. It addresses the fundamental human experience of leaving behind the old, and entering the new. As you began your expedition, the most difficult trails of all journeys may be to take the risk to let go the surrounding voices and listen to your inner voice, especially when voices of others “shouting their bad advice” (Oliver1), they depend on you to take care of them, misleading you to do otherwise. Instead, you must leave the voices of society behind, “there was a new voice which you slowly recognize as your own, that kept you company” (Oliver 1), and listen to your inner voice to do what you have to do in order to live an authentic

As not all people communicate in the same ways, it is very tough to communicate feelings and emotions as an autistic individual. However, they find ways around the conventional way of expression and are able to extract their inner affection beautifully. Bill radiates this type of emotion through a poem, attentively writing down what at first just may seem like self-focused “autistic” response, but sure enough developing it into a simple yet serene and complex array of words. Through Bill’s ability to express feeling in his words one can see how a present day sage, someone like his occupational therapist, Diane Osaki, can use the principle of the Tao in order to evoke a supportive and modest nature. These heart felt people allow Bill to hardships and solve complications that impede his ability to fit into society.

Humans as a race are slowly forgetting their roots. In the Poem “Remember” the author Joy Harjo uses examples of literary devices such as repetition, symbolism, and personification throughout her essay. She does so to convey her message that people need to remember what they have and not to take things for granted. Her effective use of these devices helps persuade the reader to agree with her views.

Kenyon uses the rejection of the dawning of a new day as a final rebuttal of the idea that death is simply forgotten through mourning. However, “like the neighbor who means will/but always says the wrong thing” (Kenyon 15-16) indicates their mourning was not over, and they were in no mood to enjoy the bright melodies of birds just yet. Kenyon is able to use “The Blue Bowl” as a medium for social commentary regarding what she sees as a primitive mourning process that does not help those who undertake it. After careful analyzing the poem, the reader is able to understand Kenyon’s critique of the mourning that humans use to relieve the grief caused by the death of a loved one and interpret the shortcomings that the poet

Towards the end, there is a drastic change of the indecisive tone to a tone of regret. In this poem there is a line that is “I shall be telling this with a sigh”, Robert Frost shows a sign of regret, meaning he made the wrong decision. Not all decisions have to be

When it come time to choosing one’s path in life it is essentially ideal to have the support of loved ones. In the poem The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost, Frost explains to readers that it is okay to create and establish your own path and live by it. People build up the misconception in their mind that in order to create a future in happiness they have to follow in the footsteps of the peers/parents/friends. This misconception is a challenge in itself because in order to achieve one’s goal they would need to learn the struggle.

In the poem “ Thinking for Berky”, written by William Stafford, the speaker argues that people in the society are so careless and do not understand for people who are not lucky like them, being able to born in a wealthy family with good relationships. The author started out with the setting of the author lying in bed thinking about a girl named Berky and her deaths. He pointing out different forces that lead to her death like her abusive parents, poor family situation, and lastly, people who can’t sympathize with Berky and criticize her for her situations/environments.
