Analysis Of The Sound Of Silence

For the music industry, Simon and Garfunkel, musical rock artists during this time, wrote “Sound of Silence” in 1966. This song displayed sequences of guitar, bass, and drums and quickly became a pop hit due to the increased tempo, in which Simon and Garfunkel only found out about after it was recorded.

The tone of the poem is peaceful it sounds like a human watching a ghost darkness. The message could mean that perhaps if a person saw something that doesn't exist; he should keep that as a secret. Or maybe, the secret could come back and destroy the

In the play Quiet Torrential Sound by Joan Ackermann, immediately introduced are the main characters Monica and Claire, two sisters who seem different from the start. As the story plays out, the scene does not change, but the characters do, even though it may not be super obvious. It is clear that the two sisters have contrasting personalities and treat others in a different way, but what isn’t immediately clear, is that the two also have just as many things in common. While Monica may seem like the older, stronger, and more confident sister in the beginning, as the play goes on a different side of her gets revealed that shows her lack of self-confidence and her inner insecurities.

The speaker glorifies what most take for granted and shows how significant certain objects can be within their own relationship. “ The loud voice is famous to silence,/ which knew it would inherit the earth/ before anybody said so” (2-4). The speaker is able to describe the importance of the inevitability of sound in any silence. To the silence, the sound that is going to be generated within it, both signifies the silences’ end as well as its necessity. For there cannot be a clarity of the sound without first the crushing nothingness of silence. The duality of the two is a perfect example of what the speaker was trying to convey within the opening stanzas of the poem, sound and silence are vague generalities that only matter to each other in their own distinct relationship. Outside of their relationship, sound is not just noise being generated; the message it carries is what is important. However, within the confines of their relationship the fact that the noise is simply sound where there was nothing before is what makes the “loud voice” famous to the

It has a lot of creativity and a wild imagination. Both are dealing with creating a vivid unspoken communication with a lot of unspecified detail. After creating my tableaux, my perspective about the poem has changed. First, it is very difficult to create a still picture that tells very detail about a story. Secondly, this poem imparts more information that I overlook at first glance; such as the character’s unknown bond, I total omitted the that the poem had a question and answer session; and silence can communicate an important message and tell a lot about a character and the circumstance than any conversation.

The poem “trying to reach people without email” by Pier Giorgio Di Cicco expresses the theme that the use of technology has made people more isolated and unsocial. The poem is about the poet’s views on how much technology has effected people more specifically, in a negative way. Cicco explains how unsocial humans have become because of technology using simple but effective literary elements, more notably simile, metaphor and diction. The way in which the poet uses similes helps the reader understand how technology has made humans unsocial.

The poem talks about a man- an anonymous “he”- a perfectionist whose poetry was understandable and who, himself, understood “human folly” and the human psyche like “the back of his hand”. He was

In “A Silence that Kills” Lyndon Haviland expresses the idea that the public must confront the social inequities of tobacco use. Haviland believes the communities must communitcate a sence of urgency and engage all Americans in the battle against tobacco use. The author expresses her ideas thoroughly by concentrating on certain fact of tobacco use or second hand smoke affect, the epidemic in out current communities, the silence of the government, and the concern for public health. With the constant repetition of unity and a well-organized, concentrated article, the author easily captures the attention of the reader and the intended American audience. However, the author lacks information on

The poem begins with two lines which are repeated throughout the poem which convey what the narrator is thinking, they represent the voice in

“The relationship between the energies of the inquiring mind that an intelligent reader brings to the poem and the poem’s refusal to yield a single comprehensive interpretation enacts vividly the everlasting intercourse between the human mind, with its instinct to organise and harmonise, and the baffling powers of the universe about it.”

Public communication is very important when in a discussion with coworkers and such. The one weakness that some people run into is silence. The spiral of silence theory by Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann explains why certain people fall under the pressure and seclude to silence. Silence may not always be a bad thing, but according to a study by Lucy J. MacGregor, the fact is that silence during a speech or conversation is absolutely bad. With this, silence while talking to a large group negatively affects the listeners in a way in which some words in the speech will not be remembered. The point is that silence tends to destroy people’s speeches. Words are forgotten in the speech; Loss of the attention by the listeners happens and the

The poem begins with the narrator's describing the poem as a 'dream' that ''was not at all a dream'', which already causes doubt and tension within the reader. The narrator then goes on to talk about

Here is the interpretation and analysis of the poem based on the sections that respect the grammar and meaning of its sentences:

The book Silence, by Shusako Endo follows a theme of a silent God who accompanies a believer in adversity. The main character of the book is Sebastian Rodrigues. It tells of Sebastian Rodrigues’ arduous journey halfway around the world to Japan in the 1630s, in order to track down a rumor that his mentor Father Ferreira had abandoned his faith, at a time where the Japanese leaders were extremely hostile to foreigners and Christianity and also suspicious of their intentions. He travels with two other missionaries but one of them falls sick whilst travelling and is deemed unfit to carry on to accompany him. The book is not fast paced, but immensely character driven. For example, we see the growth of Sebastian Rodrigues as a priest. At one point he labels Kichijiro a coward. “Was it possible that he was of our faith – this wretch.” Here we see him being judgmental. However, later in the novel we see him for the first time-sharing a proper
