Analysis Of The Poem ' The Star Of The Show '

“An Anti-Semitic Demonstration” was the more effective poem by using metaphors to explain the fear one feels during the arrival and anticipation of being sent off to a concentration camp by Nazis. During this time period life as a Jew must have been unbelievably frightening, for one was unsure of when they would be collected and where the would be taken away too. All just because of their religious beliefs or the fact they may be considered “undesirable”. Whereas in “The Family Album” they explained more about how the Jews were before their life changed forever. Neufeld does not go to explain the way they felt during the tough times of the Nazi ruling. However, he instead talks about how life was instantly changed when no one saw it coming.

Poetry in some way, shape or form, gives realistic ideas to even objects that reflect upon a part of life by using symbolism and personification.

Osip Mandelstam was one of the most complex and mysterious Russian poets who wrote symbolic poems in the totalitarian time. The Stalin Epigram is the example of such texts, after which the poet was deported to Siberia. It seems different than his previous poems since it has simple and concise style, which directly express Mandelstam’s criticism of the Stalinist regime. However, the poem contains many conceptual and intertextual citations, therefore, it is the encrypted message that should be decoded by the intelligent reader. Also the images of mountaineer and prison embody the despotic and anti-human regime, where human life means nothing, so it could be sacrificed for the totalitarian goals. The Poem “The Starlin Epigram” used imagery

Pastoral was morally about rural and urban areas and how people transitions to the urban city and leaving the country and vis versa. It also discusses how people appreciate nature and places to relax and reflect on life. Pastoral has very different place in an American literature, criticism and culture. Like Walt Whitman discusses in his poems relates to homosexuality and how people are judged but instead he uses personification or non-human like objects, or things, like grass and river and give them human like qualities to help the reader get a better visual understand and how society treats others who don’t fit.

Poetry is a reduced dialect that communicates complex emotions. To comprehend the numerous implications of a ballad, perusers must analyze its words and expressing from the points of view of beat, sound, pictures, clear importance, and suggested meaning. Perusers then need to sort out reactions to the verse into a consistent, point-by-point clarification. Poetry utilizes structures and traditions to propose differential translation to words, or to summon emotive reactions. Gadgets, for example, sound similarity, similar sounding word usage, likeness in sound and cadence are at times used to accomplish musical or incantatory impacts.

Pastoral poetry is a lyric poem that idealizes nature while criticizing urban life.These two pastoral poems are example of the contrast between the easygoing countryside and the hustle bustle of a city. In the famous pastoral poetry, “The Passionate Shepherd to his love,” the Shepherd happily describes the beautiful natural image of a perfect life. He wholeheartedly believes that love is always joyful and nothing can ruin the serenity. This poem is criticized for its deluded perspective by the Nymph in a taunting way. She mocks his fantasy life that has everlasting flowers, melodious birds and finest wool gown. The Nymph’s view on her ideal love is infinite, nonmaterialistic and realistic which contradicts the Shepherd’s view on ideal love—youthful, acquisitive, and blinding; these incompatible views tear a relationship into pieces especially when the problem is addressed in a cynical tone.

In the second stanza, the speaker beholds a piper joyfully playing under the tress for his lover to find him with song. “Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on; not to the sensual ear, but, more endeared. The use of imagery of the senses is effective here. For I consider poetry to be more musical in nature than literary text. The speaker claims to be hearing melodies emanating from the urn, which for me the sound transmission from the urn correlates to the finite aspects of fleeting love. While the nature of art of the urn seems to me to represent the exquisiteness and infinity of the universe. Indeed, the sounds of silence from art is akin to vastness of space and time. “She cannot fade, though, thou hast not thy bliss,” (line19). Keats is asking the readers to not grieve for him. Because, her beauty will not diminish over time it is everlasting.

A pastoral lifestyle (see pastoralism) shows the relation between man and a nature, it is the lifestyle in which shepherds herding livestock around open areas of land in changing seasons. It is the name of the genre of literature in which art and music that depicts such life in an idealized manner, classically for urban audiences. A pastoral as a genre, also known as bucolic, it is from the Greek, meaning a cowherd.[1][2]. Traditionally, pastoral refers to the representation of the lives of herdsmen in very romanticized and exaggerated way.

Some of the poems and essays I have read during this class were relatable to me. Being away from college, I have struggled with not being at home. I have become a different person when I am at school, but when I am home, I feel like I am my normal self again. Some of these authors of the poems and essays that I have read throughout this class has struggled with being somewhere where they don’t belong and that they are someone else when they are not home. Unlike the other poems and essays we have read throughout the course. I enjoyed reading the ones about “home” because I actually understood what they are going through and that I can relate. Some of these poems and essays include “Going Home” by Maurice Kenny, Postcard from Kashmir”, by Agha Shahid Ali, “Returning” by Elias Miguel Munoz and “Hometown” by Luis Cabalquinto. All of these poems deal with duality.
