Make A Decision Poem The Road
654 words
Everyone is a traveler, choosing the roads to
follow on the map of the continuous journey of
life. There is never a straight path that leaves
someone with a single direction to head.
Regardless of the message that Robert Frost had
intended to convey, his poem "The Road Not Taken",
has left many interpretations for his readers. It
is one's past, present, and his attitude with
which he looks upon his future. In any case
however, this poem clearly demonstrates Frost's
belief that it is the road tha...

Act Could Not Be Considered Considered A Sin Flea
772 words
Donne's poem The Flea appears to be a love poem, a
dedication from a male suitor to his lady of
honor, who repudiates to yield to his lustful
desires. In this poem, the speaker tries to seduce
a young woman by comparing the consequences of
their lovemaking with those of an insignificant
fleabite. He uses the flea as an argument to
exemplify that the physical relationship he
desires is not in itself a momentous event,
because a similar unification has already taken
place within the flea. In the s...

Rhyme Scheme Second Stanza

"Ariel" possesses power and importance, a certain
element of orgasmic stress to the degree to which
the horseback ride Plath once took becomes
something morea ride into the abyss of the
unknown, a stare back into the eye of the sun, an
odyssey to death, a stripping of personality and
selfhood, a sort of blatant exposition. To treat
"Ariel" as a confessional poem is to suggest that
its actual importance lies in the horse- ride
taken by its author, in the author's psychological
problems, or in its...

Malindy may be the subject of the poem, but she is
not the one being put down here. The comic use of
dialect in "When Malindy Sings" cuts two ways,
masking the speaker's critique of a white woman he
is not free to criticize openly. (Braxton, 1993)

The poetry of the English Romantic period (1800 -
1832), often contain many descriptions, and ideas
of nature, not found in most writing. The Romantic
poets share several characteristics in common,

their respective views on nature. Which seems to
range from a more spiritual, if not pantheistic
view, as seen in the works of William Wordsworth,
to the much more realistic outlook of John Keats.
All of these authors discuss, in varying degrees,

know this if she is behind the walls of a house.
