Edgar allan Poe also makes us think differently about a simple thing like a Raven, by changing their perception of what a raven really is. Perception can be used in a powerful was by making a simple object be viewed in ways that become blurred and distorted that creates a false illusion.

Though as stated earlier, how can two successful operations result in a “failure” of survival? He contradicts this with saying “Identity is a one to one relation.” (Pg. 357) However, if my brain is “I” and I am my brain, how can I not be me? This reminds me of a quiche I made for the International Food Fair at UTEP. I had preheated 12 crust, and began on one giant serving of batter.

The nutrition facts clearly state everything the consumer needs to know about what they are about to drink or eat. So a warning label is unnecessary. In an article by Evan Cook it states, "Beverage companies are already making efforts to help America be healthier (Cook, 2014). Coca-Cola for example, displays a calorie count on the front of nearly every drink produced." Lastly , the nutrition facts state everything the consumer may want to know about what they are buying and what they are gonna consume (Should there be warning labels on sugary drinks?,

In the last line, it indicated the hyperbole by mentioning, “ Below us, as far as my eyes could see”Tennyson 12. This shows us that he could only see so much that his eyes are weakened and old. However, in the poem, Cyrano De Bergerac the author uses loaded diction alongside vivid imagery to portray the main idea. The author emphasizes inner beauty by using terms like “ Live for I love you”. Despite this quote not having a relevant meaning towards the approach of saying that love is eternal.

Hughes may interpret Delmore Schwarts quote, “In dreams begin responsibilities.” as accurate. Two reasons may be because of how most of Hughes poems relate to Delmore Schwarts quote. And secondly, most of the advice Hughes is trying to reflect to the reader is summarized in Delmore 's quote. Looking back at Delmore 's quote, “In dreams begin responsibilities.”, It basically states that with hard work, credit, time, and effort one can follow their dreams. If applied, Delmore quote shows striking similarity (just the opposite) to Hughes’s poem, “Dreams”.

In a poem it is very good to use different types of figurative language in the poem. These ideas are clearly seen in the poem”Identity” by Julio Noboa Polanco, talks about how it is good to be unique ,and yourself. Even if people dislike you or treat you with disrespect. In “Identity”Polanco uses the literary devices of simile, alliteration, and repetition. The poem that Polanco wote is about being unique and yourself is a good thing.

A Bird’s Eye View Emily Dickinson opens up her poem with the famous line, “Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words,’’. Paul Laurence Dunbar ends his poem with the line “I know why the caged bird sings!”. These two lines from the poets form the theme of the two poems. The poem “Hope is the thing with feathers” by Emily Dickinson, and “Sympathy” by Paul Laurence Dunbar both present a theme that suffering makes you appreciate hope much more. It seems that hope and pain are almost a dynamic duo.

She is able to see such a variety of complex artistic devices and compress them into a brief and detailed poem. Not only is an amazing metaphor being described, but she manages to merge it with personification, making hope take another form. She is able to use a detailed rhythmic scheme which brings the poem to life by giving it sound and presence. This poem has layer after layer, which makes it so special. Many of the stanzas can be interpreted to be multivalent, but the true underlying message Dickinson is writing about is more than clear.

Throughout William Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 130,” the reader is constantly tricked into thinking he will compare his mistress to something beautiful and romantic, but instead the speaker lists beautiful things and declares that she is not like them. His language is unpredictable and humor is used for a majority of the poem. This captivating sonnet uses elements such as tone, parody, images, senses, form, and rhyme scheme to illustrate the contradicting comparisons of his mistress and the overarching theme of true love. Shakespeare uses parody language to mock the idea of a romantic poem by joking about romance, but ultimately writes a poem about it. In the first quatrain, the beautiful image of a woman usually created during a romantic poem (i.e, having red lips, pure skin, silky hair) is parodied as he portrays his mistress as plain and not following normal beauty regulations.
