Mother Daughter Relationship Pieces Of Literature
1,561 words
People find their inspiration from their elders. I
find this to be true in many cases. When
celebrities accept an award, they thank their mom,
dad or mentors. What is it about our parents that
inspire us to dedicate songs, books, or poetry to
them? Is it because of the way that they raise us?
Is it the morals that they have instilled in to
our minds? Or is it the simple "mother- daughter"
or "father-son" discussion that we remember that
make us better people when we become older? They
are all as...

Road Less Traveled Third Stanza
1,011 words
Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" shows the
uncertainty as to which road of life a person
should choose. It raises the evident question of
whether it is better to choose a road in which
many travel, or to choose the road less traveled
and explore it yourself. In this poem the speakers
tone, diction, and setting help to illustrate the
struggle a person goes through in their lives to
pick the right road to travel. In the first verse
of the first stanza, Frost says "Two roads
diverged in a yellow...

Dulce Et Decorum Est Give The Reader
1,476 words
Dulce et Decorum est by Wilfred Owen and The
Charge of the Light Brigade by Alfred lord
Tennyson are both about war and death. However,
the themes are portrayed in two very different
ways; one is about glory, and the other about a
horrific death. Tennyson wrote The Charge of the
Light Brigade in 1854 after reading a article in a
newspaper. The poem was written to increase the
moral of the fighting soldiers and of the people
at home. The Charge of the Light Brigade
celebrates the glory of war, an...

Wilfred Owen Second Stanza
714 words
Futility by Wilfred Owen Wilfred Owen is arguably
one of the most famous poets of World War One. In
his well known sonnet futility he uses powerful
techniques such as personification, metaphors and
par-rhyme reinforced with powerful imagery to
demonstrate the harshness of war. This can also be
seen through the tone which changes from hope in
the first verse to a profound despair in the
second verse. This then causes Owen to question
the pointlessness of war. In contrast to his other
poems which ...

20 Th Century Neutron Stars

The 20 th century saw a great many new discoveries
regarding celestial phenomena in the universe. One
of these entities, which has only recently been
encountered, is the Black Hole. These are formed
when a star which has consumed all its fuel
collapses in on itself, eventually turning into a
black hole with infinite density and zero volume
and an immensely powerful magnetic field. We are
unable to see black holes even with the most
powerful telescope, because their gravitational
pull is so stron...

Poet Laureate Ted Hughes
2,097 words
Knowledge of contemporary British poetry is of
great importance when it comes to understanding
the reigning trends of England. The 1970 s saw a
fair amount of polemic concerning the
discontinuities of the national "traditions, "
most of it concerned with poetry, all of it
vulnerable to a blunt totalizing which
demonstrated the triumphant ability of "nation" to
organize literary study and judgment -- as it does
still, perhaps more than ever. It remains the case
twenty years later that there is a ...

William Shakespeare William Blake

Comparative analysis of poems by W. Blake and W.
Shakespeare Someone has said that everything
genial is very simple. However, some people would
also argue that the more difficult the poem is,
the more valuable it becomes to the reader. In
their poems, both William Blake and William
Shakespeare were able to unite simplicity of
expressions and complication of symbols into two
beautiful poems. These poems are rather different,
if compared to each other, as are their composers.

Stephen Vincent Ben? t, Editor Excerpt from the
Foreword to For My People Straightforwardness,
directness, reality are good things to find in a
young poet. It is rarer to find them combined with
a controlled intensity of emotion and a language
that, at times, even when it is most modern, has
something of the surge of biblical poetry. And it
is obvious that Miss Walker uses that language
because it comes naturally to her and is part of
her inheritance. A contemporary writer, living in

Women Writers Free Verse

Paula Bennett As her persistent use of the first
person singular suggests, like her fellow women
writers, Dickinson also seems to have viewed her
poetry at least her psychological poetry as her
hearts record, the inner truth of a domestic life.
This is the genre within which she is writing and,
as Walker has so ably demonstrated, she employs
many of the same themes and images her fellow
women poets use. But Dickinson took up these
themes with a difference. As Adrienne Rich
asserts, for Dickinson...
