I went Into Elie Wiesel 's Night having read the book in various stages in my life. It seems to follow me through my schooling years. In junior high I read it in standard English class, just like any other book I would have read that year. In high school I read it for a project I was creating on World War II, looking at it from a more historical approach. Being a firsthand account of concentration camps made it a reliable source of historical information. But during previous times when I was reading, I never thought to take a look at it from a theological point of view. Doing so this time really opened my eyes to things and themes I hadn 't noticed during previous readings.

When I wake up I see a deathly, pale, colourless body. I check to see if she is breathing. Nothing. As much as I tried to hold it in, the pain came out like an uproar from my throat in the form of a silent scream. The beads of water started falling down one after another, without a sign of stopping. I check to see if my mother left anything for me like some food or jewels so I could always remember her. I see a white piece of paper in her

The CO is notorious to use these assessments in his FITREPS. Therefore, this next hour heavily influences on my career prospects. Will I be able to impress him? What poem do I use? Rapidly flipping and reading through the collection, I open the collection to the poem Illumination Rounds.

Macbeth has no shortage of darkness, and it does a good job making the reader feel creeped out. However, that's not darkness’ only purpose in the play. In the beginning, a noble thane named Macbeth starts out a hero when he defeats an enemy in battle. Once he falls into the trap of his own toxic ambition, though, things go downhill. He turns away from the light- in other words, loyalty to his king- and lets darkness and evil lead him to become the hated tyrant of Scotland. Throughout the storyline, darkness and light are used as imagery to represent bad events that are about to happen, death and life, and the contrast between good and evil. Its purposes play a key role in developing the plot and the characters.

In the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare, Macbeth must separate his fate from the supernatural. Shakespeare uses poetic language along with vivid descriptions to set his scene. Attitude is not only represented by the characters’ actions, but also by descriptions of light and darkness in the play. An analysis of the dark in addition light language reveals a rift between the two: light language is used during revelations and dark language is used during times of secrecy.

The Result of Human Nature Nobody would ever gaze at a dead pregnant human on the edge of the road and drag her over a cliff and into a river, so why would you do it to a dead doe, especially if it’s pregnant? In William Stafford's poem “Traveling through the Dark,” this decision is seemingly an easy choice for the speaker who encounters a dead pregnant doe that was hit by a car on a mountain road. How did he rectify this complication? By throwing this beautiful creature over a cliff and killing the fawn, which in a compassionate human being’s eyes would be considered murder. Although the speaker may appear sympathetic by dragging the pregnant doe off the side of the road, he does not make the most reasonable decision because the unborn fawn

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.

The Darkness' is a poem written by Lord Byron in 1816, around the Romantic period. Byron has stated that the poem was inspired by the events of Mount Tambora, which was a volcano that erupted in the Dutch East indies that caused surreal weather phenomenon's, such as inexplicable darkness and cold temperatures in Geneva, where Byron was at the time, and eventually where he wrote the poem. This event caused many authors to suspect that this eruption, and the following weather events, was a sign that linked to the biblical apocalypse.

“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.

Stafford furtively conceals the profound meaning of his poem behind a story of the narrator, who stops alongside the road to care for a deer. The genius behind poem is better understood when the superficial meaning is expressed deeply.
