A Young Son Poem

Today’s world we lack a meaning of adventure. It can teach us something important about ourselves or the world. Anne fadiman’s “Under Water” is basically about the drowning death of a tourist in a whitewater canoe run, on the Green River. It is about the incident happened when tourist adventure in in western Wyoming. Anne starting of essay help us to understand it is about the adventure story.

In the essays Whistling Swan by Terry Tempest Williams and Once More to the Lake by E.B. White, both authors revisit the aspects of time, relations, and death. Throughout the retelling of experiences, White and Williams have chosen similar destinations that their audience will have come to in the duration of each author’s works; the ideas of time changes and that time and mortality coincide. To arrive at this theme, each author paints and creates images in their audience’s heads and emotionally digs their way into the reader’s heart and mind.

Daugther. I promise to protect you with all the strength of my soul; To hold you when everything seems to fall apart; To encourage you when they say you can’t; To comfort you in your time of grief; To listen, especially when we disagree; To find you, if you ever get lost To not judge you, when you make mistakes; To remind you of your worth; To carry you, if you’re ever to weak to walk on your own; To dance silly just to hear you laugh; To create a home where you are free to be yourself; To feed your creativity; and, most importantly, To love you, as you are, completely and unconditionally.

The poet W.B. Yeates wrote, “Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild With a faery, hand in hand, For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.” The quote is an illustration of the loss of innocence which is in one way the theme of this essay. I was told this was an assignment based on a personal narrative that focused on having an obstacle to overcome; however, I could not find a way to do it without spilling frustration and other uncontrolled sentiments. What I am referring to happened to me very recently. I already had a busy summer planned, but does one plan death? Sorry to sound morbid, but I find it ironic. I imagined myself to have an enjoyable summer, yet ended up with one I could never forget. This summer I found a way to fix many conundrums I had been plagued with

Death is simply a part of life, and, is therefore, inevitable. Losing a loved one, or watching the life slowly leave them over time, can be can be an extremely painful experience. However, it can teach a person about themselves and the world around them. In the short memoir, “The Aquarium,” Aleksandar Hemon uses the fatal illness of his daughter, Isabel to communicate the idea that life is full of trials and tribulations that cannot be avoided and that said trials can cause a person to feel ostracized from those who are close to them.

Almost everyone has fears, whether it is growing up, or even a simple circus clown. For others, their fears might be as common as public speaking, failing a test, or not achieving a specific job. There is only one fear, which no matter how hard society tries is unavoidable: dying young. However, Housman explores the idea that dying young is not always negative. In A. E. Housman’s poem, “To An Athlete Dying Young,” he addresses this very common, fear in human nature. The unescapable outcome of death, as a fear, is due to human nature, with every single person wanting to live the longest most successful life, they can, but in the end never avoiding death.. Housman, unlike the majority of people, embraces dying young in a positive

In the poem the Son of mine by Oodgeroo Noonuccal successfully shows the reader the oppression the Aboriginal people have suffered at the hands of the White people and the overwhelming sadness this has caused. Oodgeroo Noonuccal achieves this by using affecting, judgemental and appreciative language throughout the poem. Although this overwhelming sadness is very evident the author uses the same language to express her hope for a better future with better relationships between the Aboriginal and White people. In Son of mine, Noonuccal uses affecting language to evoke a sense of insecurity and unhappiness at the beginning of the poem but the mood changes to happiness at the end of the poem.

A wild and untameable force of nature, the sea can represent a multitude of abstract ideas, most, if not all, can be applied to “Annabel Lee.” Seas or oceans are often signs of death because of their ferocious qualities and humankind’s inability to fight against an ocean-borne disaster. This interpretation of the sea being a harbinger of death fits when looking at the later stanzas of the poem, when they “shut her up in a sepulchre / … by the sea,” or when the speaker lays down in death to join her in “her tomb by the sounding sea,” (19-20, 41). That interpretation doesn’t fit, on the other hand, in the earlier stanzas when the speaker reminisces about the childhood he spent with Annabel. Rather, the interpretation of timelessness and eternity fits much better with the depictions of youth.

It hurts knowing that if we had not been separated in 1941, I could’ve been the aunt that I wanted to be for you. I could see your fear in your eyes when they gave us the yellow stars to wear, and when the deportations began, fear consumed both you and I. When they came for our family I clung onto you as tight as I could as we jumped onto the carts of the train. Our journey to the camp in Poland was our most precious moments we had ever shared together. We spoke of books, games, and how we would want life to be if we weren’t Jews. As we reached the destination we saw the horrifying truth of what lies behind the barbed wires of the concentration camps. My last words to you were, “Noah Luis, I will see you soon I love you.” And you whispered, “I love you Sky.” We both knew the gut-wrenching truth about saying those words to one another; it meant that those words would be our last

I think that berneice is right because she had that piano for a long time while Boy Willie was in jail and has a lot of memories of it.In the play she had been seeing Sutter ghost and she seen him play the piano sometimes and was looking for Boy Willie.She thinks that he pushed him in the well and now his spirit s in the house.When he said he was about to sell the piano she said you ain’t selling that piano because it had brung good memories to her.Boy Willie was talking about if dad had have it he would of sold it for some land and Berniece said that her mother had been polishing it and everytime she finish it she told her to play it.Boy Willie thinks that his dad had died over the piano but Berniece said that her mother has been polishing

Mortality is being subject to death, which perfectly fits how the speaker wants this poem to be

After reading though the hymn “This Is My Fathers World” and the response reading “Stewards of God’s Creation” one can see elements of both immanence and transcendence within them. Both the hymn and the response reading are proclaiming Psalm 24:1 “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it”. This scripture falls more in transcendence because it is very clearly separating us from God, he is entirely unlike humanity. He is the creator of the world and everything in it. Where they both proclaim Psalm 24:1 I do see that the hymn takes more of the immanence stance where I see more evidence of transcendence in the response reading. I see that they are almost identical in what they are portraying with everything in the world belonging to God, I just see that there are two different perspectives being represented here.

This is a cute poem of adolescent age because it is light, naive, and true. It creates a fresh feeling for the guy on the date of dating a girl. The poem reminded me of my youth. I also have many different feelings such as fun, confuse, embarrassed, etc.when I carry my girlfriend on my bad bike around the area where I am living. The scene was as well as always, but that day I suddenly felt strange. In fact, at that time I also did not know what kind of feeling it was, just fun and funny.

The poem “Advice to My Son written by Peter Meinke and “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes explores beauties and practicalities of life, they are very short poems but nonetheless very meaningful and powerful. Both speakers of the poems are parents who are passing on valuable advice to their children. The speaker in the poem “Mother to Son” tells her son some of the battles she’s gone threw in life. She’s giving her son the lesson that life isn’t always the easiest but to always keep going forward and to stay positive about life. On the other hand, the poem “Advice to my Son” is advising his son to balance the beauties of life and to be careful because it’s not always easy.

The little girl appears to know more about life and death than the writer. The poem begins with the narrator’s amazement of life within the child.
