Analysis Of The Poem ' Miss Dawn '

The Poem “Introduction to Poetry” is by Billy Collins, an English poet, and it is about how teachers often force students to over-analyze poetry and to try decipher every possible meaning portrayed throughout the poem rather than allowing the students to form their own interpretation of the poem based on their own experiences.

Miss Hilly talk slow, like she spreading icing on a cake. ‘You just tell Raeleigh every penny he spends on the bathroom he’ll get back when y’all sell this house.’ She nod like she agreeing with herself. ‘All these houses they’re building without maid’s quarters? It’s just plain dangerous. Everybody knows they carry different kinds of diseases than we do. I double’” (Stockett 8-9). Stockett adds the phrases from the game seamlessly.

Behind Twilight, a cubical box arose, and she showed it to Rainbow; and when she saw what it was, she shrieked in denial, for she knew now what Twilight was going to ask her.

Initially, Collins demonstrates how one can weigh a dog’s weight with his method. Concrete diction in the first stanza, such as, “ small bathroom”, “ balancing”, and “shaky” suggest the uncomfortable nature of his intimate relationship with his pet. Although Collin is unappreciated for the gritty toil determination, he praise himself to applauded that “this is the way” and raising his self-esteem by comparing how easier it is than to train his dog obesity. In addition, the negative diction used to describe Collin holding his dog to be “awkward” for him and “bewildering” for his pet. This establish he rather force love rather willing show patience. When holding a pet on scale, there is less hustle because he secures the dog’s position by carrying it. Where as when he orders the dog to stay on the weighing scale with a cookie, his dog only followed him because of the expected reward.

Challenges facing the American people during the late 20th and early 21st centuries are diversity of races and nationalities racism and animosity is still a dominate thing in America today.

Ms. Rose was a short woman with amber hair and greenish eyes. She was always smiling, and if you met her you would probably remember her by her red lipstick.

“What the hell Rosie, you think I’m just going to roll over and agree with anything you say? That’s not going to happen.”

Blood Red Sunset is a record of Ma Bo 's life and which stunned people all through China when it was distributed and was even prohibited by the Communist Government for a set time. This story paints a picture for what the Chinese Cultural Revolution truly was. Chinese living today can bear witness to if this was the life that they had at this time to persevere amid the Cultural Revolution comparable if not indistinguishable experiences as told in Ma Bo 's story. The drudges of being a youthful Red Guard in inward China were experienced by many if not millions. The revulsions and atrocities were across the board all through the nation, not simply in Inner Mongolia. The encounters outlined in Blood Red Sunset have to deal with Ma Bo 's whole

“That’s the puzzle. It makes no sense. But not all is lost. Katy is working on that angle right now.”

Writing this poem has given me a whole other perspective of Melinda. One thing that I learned was that she is in a constant battle with herself. This is something I really wanted to incorporate in this stanza. I wanted to share with the reader how the mind of a person being bullied or hurt works. How they have so many emotions, but don’t know what to do with them. This leads them to eventually give up as they don’t have the right support. I broke up the stanza into many sentences because I wanted the reader to stop after every sentence and really take in the meaning. I wanted them to understand the pain behind it, but I also wanted it to be engaging. One sentence that really stood out to me was “It has to go away eventually.” This shows me

The five children observed what she was doing and began to copy her to do the same. The children were very fascinated and

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be told you can’t do something, because it’s not ladylike? It seems time and time again women in history were once told to be seen and not heard. T. S. Eliot’s poem “Cousin Nancy” broke barriers during its time with its writing about the modern woman. “Cousin Nancy” may only be three stanzas, but Eliot’s writing broke down barriers about the stereotypical ideas of a poised,

The title of the poem “My mistress eyes are nothing like the sun” suggests that the speaker is not in love with his ‘mistress’. However, this is not the case. Shakespeare uses figurative language by using criticizing hyperboles to mock the traditional love sonnet. Thus, showing not only that the ideal woman is not always a ‘goddess’, but mocking the way others write about love. Shakespeare proves that love can be written about and accomplished without the artificial and exuberant. The speaker’s tone is ironic, sarcastic, and comical turning the traditional conceit around using satire. The traditional iambic pentameter rhyming scheme of the sonnet makes the diction fall into place as relaxed, truthful, and with elegance in the easy flowing verse. In turn, making this sonnet one of parody and real love.

“The Sky is Gray” by Ernest Gaines is a realistic example of a long epidemic has hovered over the African American community like an dark storm cloud just waiting to burst. Personally, this story called to me, like I was meant to read it. The mother in this short story reminds me of my own mother. Stepping into that masculine role to show strength and provide for her family. Then, teaching her son these harsh life lessons to ensure his survival in a society that is not welcoming to an African American man; act rationally, not emotionally.

“Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul,” said William Maugham, a British playwright from the 19th century. Vincent Van Gogh, an artist who is considered by many one of the most inspirational artists in history, was no stranger to depicting his struggles in life or feelings in his work. Van Gogh’s piece Starry Night, designed in the year 1889, shows this to be true in that it was the result of his experiences in an asylum that encouraged this piece. Despite this work has being so well known, many critics and observers of the piece have differing views on what he was trying to communicate through it. Two prime examples of this can be seen by the views expressed in the poems entitled, “Vincent” and “The Starry Night”, written by Don McClean and Anne Sexton, respectively. While the poem “Vincent”, has a depressing tone to it, “The Starry Night”, by Anne Sexton, depicts Starry Night as having a more lively mood, which more accurately represents that of the painting, by Vincent Van Gogh.
