Road Less Traveled Frosts Poems
1,227 words
Robert Frost, perhaps the greatest American poet
of the twentieth century, has brought himself
great recognition. Many critics have tried to find
a faulty side to his writing, but they have had a
difficult time because his writing romanticizes
the rural simplicity that he loved while probing
into the mysteries of the universe (Estep 2).
Three areas of criticism covered are: a speakers
decision in choosing, a poem broken down into
three sections, and Frosts use of metaphors and
style in his writi...

Mordecai Marcus In " Gathering Leaves"
Frost makes a lighthearted return to a season of
decline, which the speaker tries to bring to an
end by struggling endlessly, it seems fill bags of
autumn leaves. Concise, homey similes show the
difficulty of the task. Spades are spoon like in
their slight ability to gather the overflow of
leaves; the airiness of the leaves makes full bags
resemble balloons; the noise of rustling leaves,
" like rabbit and deer / Running away, "

Quot And Quot Nineteenth Century
910 words
By Rhonda Pettit Recent editions of Introduction
to Poetry textbooks have included " One
Perfect Rose" in their discussions of voice,
rhythm, and symbol, suggesting that contemporary
anthologists and scholars are finally appreciating
the art of Parkers " accessible" poetry.
" One Perfect Rose" is one of many poems
by Parker worthy of this appreciation. The three
quatrains of this 1923 poem employ a variation of
the " bait-and-switch" strategy, highly

Robert Shulman The concluding grim recognition
emerges from the interplay of racial-political
realities and physical impossibilities. " In
the world" of racial and political
experience, white shadows are everywhere, although
" in the world" of physical experience

Adrienne Rich Third Stanza

Phantasia for Elvira Shatayev Love, fear,
jealousy, courage and death all have a major role
in Adrienne Rich's Phantasia for Elvira Shatayev.
Adrienne Rich takes us inside Shatayev's head and
depicts her joys and feeling of triumph along with
her lingering undertones of jealousy. The use of
the journals helps to relate the comradery and
love within the team but also serves to paint a
picture of an ungrateful Shatayev. Throughout this
poem there are repeated declarations of love and
friendship fo...

Question: Depending on the language used, poetry
either delights the senses or fills one with
despair. Discuss. Poetry is an art form and
different poets use varying descriptive language

Road Less Traveled Ages And Ages

Robert Frost: A Different Outlook This has got to
be among the best-known, most-often-misunderstood
poems on the planet. It seems as if The Road Not
Taken gets memorized without really being read.
This is a type of poem that needs to be read with
accuracy, not imagination. If you read the poem
and really try to understand the meaning of each
word, its plain to see what the poem is talking
about. It seems to me that most people believe the
poem is about how a man took a path in life that

Waltz, by Theodore Roethke, and Those Winter
Sundays, by Robert Hayden, are two somewhat
similar poems about respected fathers. To most
people a father is not just the man who fertilizes
their mother s egg, but a man that spends time

Begins To Question Paradise Lost
2,155 words
In John Milton's works, specifically Samson
Agonistes, we get an idea of how Milton shows
people coping with defeat. The most evident way
these people to choose to deal with their defeat
is by questioning why this has to happen. Which
usually leads to what is the purpose of living if
bad things are going to take place. Friends or
family members also usually come to the aid of the
person trying to cope with the defeat to help them
realize that this is not the end. After time of
grieving their def...

Fairest Creatures We Desire Increase Fairest Creatures We Desire Sonnet

FROM FAIREST CREATURES WE DESIRE INCREASE When God
saw his creatures, he commanded them to increase
and multiply. Shakespeare, in this sonnet,
suggests we have internalized the paradise command
in an aesthetic ized form: From fairest creatures
we desire increase. The sonnet begins, so to
speak, in the desire for an Eden where beauty's
rose will never die; but the fall quickly arrives
with decease (where we expect, by comparative with
increase, the milder decrease). Unless the young
man pities th...
