Red Like Roses Analysis

Literature often reflected the emotions of the specific historical events that were taking place at that time period such as, in 1865 the civil war in America ended. Therefore, most of the literature in America was centered on the gothic movement. Dickinson’s poetry was mostly dark and gothic. As she recognized because of the civil war it was profound that she had many desires, and an obsession with heaven. Denotations are used in the words like death, and coffin, to express her sorrow.

The poem 's diction keeps emphasizing on death and the horrors of it which is intense. The era that this poem was written in influenced the tone because at that time no matter if the battle is won or lost the soldiers who sacrificed themselves should be honored no matter what, and should be acknowledged. In Mary Borden’s The Song of The Mud, the tone is sarcastic and ironic but still gruesome about war and going into the wars, the title of this poem is a great example of how ironic Mary is about war; in this title the reader would infer “song” is joyful and positive but then “mud” is negative and unpleasant.

He expresses how she is misrepresented by the ridiculous comparisons any woman is subjected to. Likewise to Sonnet 116, I not only enjoy the topic he addresses in this sonnet but agree with his response to it in relation to being in love. Shakespeare 's profound expression of his love is breathtaking and I enjoy how he is able to find words that so perfectly communicate what he is trying to

Emily Dickinson became very well known for her fascination with death. Many of her poems focus on loss or loneliness, but the most compelling ones talk particularly about dying, specifically her own death and her own afterlife. Her captivation with suffering gives her poems a rare aspect, giving insight into a mind and a topic we know very little about. “Because I could not stop for Death” closely demonstrates Emily’s fascination with her religious doubts and life continuing after death. In this poem, the speaker is looking back on the moment of death, whereas in “I heard a fly buzz when I died,” the speaker is looking at the moments leading up to death, and in “I felt a funeral in my brain,” the speaker is describing death itself.

“Havisham” is a poem based on “Miss.Havisham” on the novel “The Great Expectations”. The author Carol Ahn Duffy used several techniques to describe her feelings and symbolizing her emotions with objects emphasizing love and hate throughout the poem. In the poem, she introduced 5 different colours to represent her feelings and emotions which has made it very effective for the readers. For example, “green” implies jealousy, which shows how Havisham is envying the woman who took her man, compeyson, and is known to be very negative colour.

Here Crane is stating that no man is born to simply drill and then die, regardless of what the rhetoric around the glorious battle may claim, and that such rhetoric (“Great is the battle-god, great, and his kingdom”) hides the true hideousness of war (“A field where a thousand corpses lie”). Overall, “Do Not Weep, Maiden, for War Is Kind” is an expression of Crane’s sadness over the glorification of war and death. He uses verbal irony in this poem by juxtaposing praise of war with reality, and succeeds in shedding light on the true nature of war that is fear, death, and

Overall- Kids on the Slope was a pleasant surprise. It was a great story that dealt with youth sexuality (Yes, I spotted the homosexual imagery, but it was very subtle and not that noticeable) and friendship though jazz music. This anime was a nice change of pace, with plenty of relaxing jazz to lose yourself to, and does not include many of the common tropes seen in other modern anime that airs nowadays.

There is a break from the cynicism that Sondheim usually expresses, and a kind of tender, simple sentiment that is rare in Sondheim. The music is not particularly uplifting, but it does provide a moment of respite from the draining emotions of the musical, thus far. The music and lyrics complement one another perfectly as the lyrics are as simple as the melody, and they reflect the main character in their references to Impressionism and Pointillism, and work for the rest of the characters as integral parts of his work. The subdued nature of the performers truly mirrors the placidity of the lyrics, and they are able to perfectly deliver both the music and lyrics in a superbly moving

The poems that we will discuss are all explored by the theme of death like "War Photographer" by Carol Ann Duffy, "a Mother In A Refugee Camp" by Chinua Achebe, "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night" by Dylan Thomas, "Piano" by D.H Lawrence, "My Last Duchess" by Robert Browning and finally "Poem at Thirty Nine" by Alice Walker. These poems all portray the theme of death and loss and how the people that get affected adapt to the loss of their loved ones and their family. Firstly, I will discuss how these poems portray the theme of death within a family, a great example is "A Mother in a refugee camp", where the mother is affected by the death of her son and the suffering of her loved one "child could touch her tenderness for a son" this shows

I believe, that in my book it is true that love doesn’t happen at first sight and comes after a rough start. In the very start of my book Mare only truly feels love toward very few people, and only helps the ones dear to her heart. When she tries to help Kilorn she is showing a true act of love and he only disregards this gesture. This is only the start of Mare learning that

The most important phrase here is “happiness” or else the quote is just a meaningless empty quote. After reading the novel (more than once if I might add) I believe that the quote is trying to say, you should never look

Though I am not a pedophille obsessed with someone, there have been moments with band members, where I 'd do as much as I can to see them as well. As well as giving them money I don 't have. I feel as if I was satisfied with the ending, with both main characters dead, it 's a clean wrap up of the novel, cutting all loose ends. Though I think I would have prefered an ending where Lolita didn 't die, or even Humbert having to live with his horrible actions and live through the loss of his
