W H Auden Rhyme Scheme
1,376 wordsPeter Kivy opposes the idea of Formalism as the basis of how to determine what an art is. He deems that representation is the significant part of determining art because without meanings and representation words have no value. Roger Fry, Quintin Bell and Walter Pater are on the other side of the issue and believe that only the formal aspect of art really has any value. The representation of the words are not important, only the formal aspect matters (Kivy, pg. 25). In the poem Victor, by W. H. A...

Nation Of Islam Places Of Worship
1,601 wordsThis is the biggest misconception in Islam, no doubt resulting from the constant stereotyping and bashing the media gives Islam. When a gunman attacks a mosque in the name of Judaism, or a Catholic IRA guerrilla sets off a bomb in an urban area, or Serbian Orthodox militiamen rape and kill innocent Muslim civilians, these acts are not used to stereotype and bash an entire faith. Never are these acts attributed to the religious teachings of the perpetrators. Yet how many times have we heard the w...

Black Lace Fan Fan Was Handed Poem
729 wordsAt first glance one could easily form an opinion of what the contents of the poem The Black Lace Fan my Mother Gave me directly form the title. First, the use of the adjective, black, is generally used to portray a feeling of darkness, sorrow, or even death. Lace is a delicate, beautiful, and flamboyant material usually on the outside edge of other materials that could mean something in this poem may have a frail edge. The phrase my Mother Gave me presents a feeling that the fan has a sentimenta...

Crossing Brooklyn Ferry Leaves Of Grass
1,515 wordsForged in the fire of revolution and defined by manifest destiny, America has always been the land of the individual. Although the American dream has not always been consistent, (married with 2. 5 kids, 2 cars, a dog and a satisfying job), the spirit of innovation, individuality and progress remains unchanged. The father of free verse, and perhaps the American perspective of poetry, Walt Whitman embodies these values in his life and work. First published in 1855 in Leaves of Grass, Song of Mysel...
