Analysis Of Pablo Neruda

Translators across the world will face problems through out their translation. One of these problems is allusion. An author referring to a person, or a place, or an event, in his\her book won't make a problem for readers from the same culture to figure it out, but it may cause a cross culture for readers from other culture.

Literatures work has always played an important role in our society throughout the history. Each works serves with different purposes and provide the readers with great benefits. It does not only give the audience enjoyments from the works, but it is also another way to teach the others in many different ways. Most work from the Native Americans that we learned from the lecture are to teach and persuade other people of strong values of life, such as “Iktomi and the Dancing Duck” and “Origin of the Sun Shower.” Literature is one of the most important ways to preserve wide range of knowledge and to pass down to each generation, which can also help the audience understand different things from the past. There are many literature works that were

How many poems have you read that are very similar but, different in many ways? In the poems, “Ode to enchanted Light” and “Sleeping in the Forest,” The poets Pablo Neruda and Mary Oliver both talk about an experience in nature using figurative language and form and structure. However, there are many differences and similarities between the two poems.

The book “The Captain’s Verses” by Pablo Neruda, there are many love poems. Poems that express different ways of loving someone. I decided to pick Neruda's body of work because of how smooth and elegant his poems sound. They express so much passion towards a person and also send a message. When reading his poems I would be able to understand the emotion the poem carried. This is the first thing that caught my attention from his poems. The emotions each and every one of them carried.

According to Princeton University, World Literature “is the introduction to an entire canon of literature that can be understood worldwide”. Nonetheless, It can also be the understanding of the diversity of emotion. Stories can give different points of views, but it is up to the readers to decide how they should feel about the events taking place in the book. Not only can this affect one person, but to others around the world.

Salman Rushdie once said, “The word 'translation' comes, etymologically, from the Latin [word] for 'bearing across'. Having been borne across the world, we are translated men. It is normally supposed that something always gets lost in translation; I cling, obstinately to the notion that something can also be gained.”

Pablo Neruda is from Chile and gives a voice to Latin America in his poetry (Bleiker 1129). “The United Fruit Co.,” the poem by Pablo Neruda that will be analyzed in this essay, is enriched with symbolism, metaphors, and allusions. These allusions have great emphasis to the Christian religion, but some allusions are used to evoke negative emotions towards the United States (Fernandez 1; Hawkins 42). Personification and imagery along with onomatopoeia and metonymy are also found in “The United Fruit Co.” Neruda’s use of these literary devices makes his messages of imperialism, Marxism, and consumerism understandable (Fernandez 4). In this essay each of these literary devices with its proper meaning will be further analyzed in the hope of

Pablo through the poem speaks his mind of experiences in Latin America by using the company of the United Fruits to describe the injustices to the locals vividly. Throughout the poem, Pablo uses a great deal of symbolism, metaphors, and connotations to relate the situation in Chile. The evidence of the setting as Chile is described in line 8 and 9 where the poet describes it as ‘…coast of my world….waist of America.’ Through the use of the word mu in the 8th line, it is evident that the persona in the poem is Pablo hence recounting events experienced in a colonial error marred by killings and social injustices against Latin Americans. There are multiple perpetrators such as Coca-Cola who

Many people believe that material things will bring you peace and happiness. That is not always that case though.Everyone at some point in their life had gone through something that they thought would have a major positive impact on their life, but ultimately, it affected them very negatively. These can include anything from money, to power, even to women. Bernard Malamud explains these example in his book, The Natural, with his character, Roy Hobbs. Roy is the Knights star baseball player, when all goes wrong. He starts to chase different women, believing that those people will lead him to happiness in the end. Roy Hobbs is the main character in the book, The Natural, who finds himself in tough situations, and finally discovers that what he wanted from the start, won’t actually make him happy in the end.

Such is said of the young Pablo Neruda, Chilean poet and the winner of the 1971 Nobel Prize for literature. He was what I want to be, he was being what so many of his time were, or wanted to be as well. Simply put, like a poet would, he wore black and befriended the bohemians. It is not an uncommon image and it is not an original: the poet, committing himself to looking like he were doing the work of an accomplished poet.

The United Fruit Co has driven Pablo Neruda Bananas! The Pablo Neruda's, The United Fruit Co., a free verse poem, published in 1950, emphasizes the domination of the United Fruit Company amid the Columbian people. Pablo Neruda's The United Fruit Co. is able to greatly describe what happened to the Colombian people when the Chicago based United Fruit Co. destroyed his home and his people. The United Fruit Co., was very successful in Columbia, due to its location in the Banana Republic and the poor hardworking people of Columbia. The poem deplores the exploitation of the Latin American countries by North American companies. Throughout the poem Neruda is able to bring to the surface the issues of corruption that big, greedy, and wealthy companies, such as the United Fruit Co, bring to small, poor, hardworking countries in Central America with the use of allusions and imagery.

Likewise, translation cannot be considered to interact with the reader, seeking to communicate the meaning of the original text as the content is not essential in our appreciation of the text. His question assumes the original and the translation as distinct categories, both of which, for him, are works of art. Apart from carrying messages and prolonging the value of texts, what is unique to translation is its potential to “express the central reciprocal relationship between languages”(72), its kinship to another language and its potential to bring out the pure language where the “mutually exclusive elements among languages can mingle and supplement one another” (74) and where ‘complementary intentions’ between two languages can be communicated. Therefore, the translator should not be restrained by the burden of relaying what the original means. Benjamin claims that “languages are not strangers to one another, but are, a priori and apart from all historical relationships, interrelated in what they want to express” (72).

I want you to stop and think about tone in day to day conversations. It mostly depends on the body language, volume of voice, and pitch of the person speaking. Written poems, on the other hand, develop their tone through imagery, language use, and form. To show this, I will be using the poem “Tonight I can write” by analyzing how Pablo Neruda works with distant imagery, nostalgic past tense, and repetitive form to develop a grief-filled tone. Through my analysis, I will be mentioning that the author generates loneliness in the persona. I expect the reader to agree that solitude is a state naturally feared and unwanted by humankind because of our undeniable biological drive to reproduce and survive, which requires the company of others. With that being said, I hope that we can assume loneliness is essentially connected to grief.

Traditionally, approaches to translation studies have been focused upon the internal factors, i.e., the rules of linguistic conversion that guide the translation process. Translation is regarded as a process of seeking for linguistic equivalence between ST and TT, as Nida(1964) put it, the target text should be the closest natural equivalent to the original text.With the rise of “cultural turn” in translation studies, there emerges a new research trend that views translation as a culture-bound phenomenon, and places translation studies under a large historical and socio-cultural context.Various cultural theories begin to lend their forces to translation studies, resulting in a series of new approaches, such as cultural manipulative, feminism and postcolonial approaches to translation studies.Thus, translation is no longer viewed as a process of seeking for linguistic equivalence, but an interaction between two cultural systems.
