It will explore how this poem generates its meaning and focus by analysing its techniques, metaphorical construct and its treatment of memory.

K-9 is a wonderful poem that expresses what a day would be like, for a k-9 handler. Not only can dog handlers themselves relate to this poem, but so can every dog or animal lover in the world. The author uses so many descriptive words when describing the dogs, that you can't help but imagine your dog looking right at you while reading. Due to how the poem is written, even those who are not animal owners can find something in this poem to appreciate. These working dogs give so much unconditional attention and love, while providing safety for their owners and everyday people.
Regulate is another hip hop song that challenges common music themes by speaking of personal hardship faced by the artist. This song basically summarizes a casual day for the rappers, as they stroll around the ghetto streets. Warren G and Nate Dogg get robbed by a group of men with weapons, taking everything they had, including Nate’s rings and rolex. The rappers speak of being scared to death, as they thought they would end up killed. Fortunately, things eventually turn around and they end up alive and well.
Title: Runoff Suck a nipple. That 's a phrase i picked up from last year. It 's October. Last year 's, like, two seconds ago and a light year away. I told this to my therapist and she just shook her head, no, no, no.
Both stories, well, one is a article and the other is a poem. Both of them talk about bullying, except the article I read is about cyberbullying and the ”Watch Out for the Claws” is just bullying in school and the poem is explaining the personalities of a bully. The poem uses cats as their examples of bullies, but the article uses real people and their stories of what happened to them when they were cyberbullied. Another similar thing is that both of them are in second person. The article is about some countries banning Facebook, because of the crimes of people

In both ‘The Horse Whisperer’ and ‘The Clown Punk’ the focal characters are no longer part of the community and have become outsiders due to the development of social perceptions of the activity they participate in. In Armitage’s poem the character is described as out of fashion and outcast, shown in the quote ‘the sad tattoos of high punk’. The poems voice comes from a narrator describing this character which clearly shows he has no voice and has been excluded from society because someone is having to give their voice for him. The use of the adjective ‘sad’ in the quote makes the phrase seem quite melancholy, particularly because tattoos are often associated as something that you get done to remember a good moment, while ‘high punk’ clearly
The poem, Useless Boys,is one that portrays a feeling of indignation, rebellion and finally, understanding by two boys who grew up with bitter views of their fathers’ onerous jobs. The narrator believes that the only reason his father stays at his job is for the money. In his naivety the son does not realize that at times living selfishly is the way things have to be. Sometimes commitments are made in a self-sacrificial and cowardly manner. No matter how “wrecking” his father’s career, he stays in order to provide for his family.
Stephen Burt once remarked that “poems are easy to share, easy to pass on, and when you read a poem, you can imagine someone 's speaking to you or for you, maybe even someone far away.” This relates much to the news and media today; meaning, poetry can be used in such a way that the news is, to share. The difference appears when one realizes that the news outlets share an event’s, hopefully unbiased, details, while poems share the deep and individual emotions of said event. Take Amy Miller’s poem “The Whole Entire” for example.
DESCRIPTION I wore the colostomy bag for a whole day to find out some of the challenges that comes with it. After wearing the bag with a “poo” in my Nursing Caring and Enquiry tutorial class, I took it to my next tutorial class, the school library, work and then home. Initially, I thought it would not have any influence on me because it was fake
Toward the beginning of the story, the sick friend jokingly references Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, who devised the five stages of grief, stating, “I can’t remember… What does Kubler-Ross say comes after denial?” to which the narrator inwardly responds that anger must be next (41). This shows that while her friend may be closer to the final stage of grief, acceptance, the narrator is still deeply in denial, and although she knows the answer to her friend’s question she cannot bring herself to say it out loud. She cannot contemplate losing her friend, and even the joking mention to the stages of grief is too much for her to handle, rendering her speechless. This interaction also seems to be foreshadowing an incident that transpires between the
Rina Morooka Mr Valera Language Arts Compare and Contrast essay on “The poet’s obligation”, “When I have fears that I may cease to be”, and “In my craft of sullen art” The three poems, “The poet’s obligation” by Neruda, “when I have fears that I may cease to be” by Keats, and “In my craft of sullen art” by Thomas, all share the similarity that they describe poets’ relationships with their poems. However, the three speakers in the three poems shared different views on their poetry; the speaker in Neruda’s poem believes that his poems which were born out of him stored creativity to people who lead busy and tiring life, and are in need of creativity, while the speaker in Keats’ poem believes that his poems are like tools to write down what
The poem A Step Away From Them by Frank O’Hara has five stanzas written in a free verse format with no distinguishable rhyme scheme or meter. The poem uses the following asymmetrical line structure “14-10-9-13-3” while using poetic devices such as enjambment, imagery, and allusion to create each stanza. A Step Away From Them occurs in one place, New York City. We know this because of the lines, “On/ to Times Square, / where the sign/blows smoke over my head” (13-14) and “the Manhattan Storage Warehouse.”
The sound of birds chirping garishly outside my window, wakens me from a deep slumber. Opening my eyes, I see the morning sun’s rays illuminating my room. I’m longing for sleep to engulf me back into its warm embrace. My father ruins any hope of going back to sleep as he hollers upstairs that breakfast is ready. Standing up and doing a morning stretch is when I first smell it.
Dub poetry is defined to be the spoken word with the blend of the rhythmic sounds of reggae music, which influenced by African traditions. This poetic strategy is defined by 3 main parts the spoken word, performance and the powerful interpretation the poem creates towards the audience.
