Analysis Of ' The Work ' Homecoming '

The speaker reveals that home beat all and that relocation will inevitably lead our heart to long for our original home. To begin, the speaker expresses her feeling of homesickness for the atmosphere of her hometown. She stated that she feels “homesick for the streets unkempt with crowds of people, overfilled…” (4-6) The diction of “homesick” and the utilization of imagery to describe the business of the streets reveal that

Protest poems and songs are, and have been throughout history, an effective medium of expressing their composer’s concerns or protests to a wide audience. The main themes behind each of these creative media are influenced heavily by the context in which they were created and focus on the composer’s opinions about controversial issues of that time. Poet Bruce Dawe, through his poem ‘homecoming’ and singer-songwriter Barry Maguire, through his song ‘Eve of destruction’ were able to explore and express their similar concerns about the harsh and dehumanising aspects of war and the effects on society, with Maguire focussing on the ignorance of society toward the detrimental effects of war and Dawe reflecting on emotional trauma experienced by those who lost love ones to the brutality of war.

The quality and importance of life are looked at by most as a valuable and great gift, but this perception of someone’s life is stated differently by the two poets, David Malouf and Bruce Dawe. The poems Suburban and Homecoming express life through the eyes of two separate groups, one being a ‘stereotypical’ individual and the other, a group of men fighting for their own lives. Poetry offers many hidden meanings within their stories, Suburban and Homecoming are no different offering two distinct takes on the meaning of life. Whether that be shown through war, or a Sunday morning after a long night out, both poems convey the emotions of life, both positively and negatively.

If pictures are worth one million words then a 3-d picture which is a monument is worth one million stories. The purpose of monuments is to tell a story about an events therefore crital thinking adn efforts are placed into making monuments. Depending on where the monuemnt is located and how it is built including its pose and the material it is made up of, it helps the audience live in that moment with the monuments,making the monument and the sudience one.

And just as Gutzon set out to build a great feat, so will this paper and its interpretation and story-telling of the past. The history behind this monument, the artistry that is and was displayed, and the basic skills of location, environment, and factors that influence geography will also be discussed here. This work by Gutzon was not just mere sensationalism or commercialism, as has normally been the angle of reporters, but instead this will take on the historic aspect as it was originally intended to bring out.

As we look to (Source F: Roadside America), we are forced to look upon the godly creation of a simple man that catches and sells lobsters for a living. The passage goes on to talk about how the statue was short of funding so they slapped on a layer of bronze. While this was a last attempt to finish the project, and by no means as majestic as the original design would have been, there is no argument that the bronze sculpture creates an unworldly image upon which we all can look. It would appear that all forms of monuments have to have an out-of-this-world arou to them. Seeing as the monument is honoring those who went above and beyond and did more than the typical person's expectations of life. It only makes sense that the constructions to show their actions was also above and beyond what typical human beings are usually displayed as. No matter what monument you decide to focus on, they are all in a way greater than life itself and create for an atmosphere of awe. The statues of men, the monuments for the moments of disparity in the country, the creations of wonder for those times of extreme success, they all are more than any other form of glorification, and rightfully

Chris Van Allsburg grew up in a quiet suburban setting in Grand Rapids, Michigan. During the 1950’s, when he was a child, the town was a place that seemed like a haven for any young boy. There were open fields that provided places for the children to enjoy a baseball game in the spring. The houses were not separated by fences, but rather blended together by the yards. The setting in which he grew up provided

Ever since man began building structures and settling land, art has manifested itself in our architectural creations. Whether it be to celebrate or worship a God or Gods, a grand sculpture to bury a powerful leader or remember them by, or to show a culture’s dedication to specific values, our architectural constructions have led to some of the finest art this Earth has ever seen. The Taj Mahal and Palace of Versailles are two great examples of such art. By examining each of these individually, and then comparing and contrasting them, it will become clear that no matter how different looking these buildings may be, they still serve the same purpose to the civilizations that erected them.

This is a very powerful and unique mural, it also says a lot about social status in relation to the

In the short story “Uneasy Homecoming” by Will F. Jenkins the reader gets a very anxious feeling because of the tone the author used. The language used within the short story is very suspenseful and it portrays the tension of it in many different ways. The first time the reader feels this tension is within the first lines of the story. It reads “Connie began to have a feeling of dread and uneasiness in the taxi but told herself that it was not reasonable” (Jenkins 1). This sentence starts the suspense off because it leaves the reader knowing that something is wrong but having to wait to see why that feeling is present.

Conflict is one of the most important elements in literature. It is the driving force of plots, and it helps to reveal each character’s personality and beliefs. There are two types of conflict; Internal and External. The only kind of internal conflict is Person vs. Self, but there are three commonly occurring External conflicts; Person vs. Person, Person vs. Society, and Person vs. Nature. In the novella The Homecoming many conflicts occur throughout the storyline. One of the underlying conflicts that influences the story line is Becky vs. Patty Cake; Person vs. Person. Patty Cake is the youngest, most-spoiled Spencer, and she is easily frightened and upset. Becky is 13 years-old, and the sassiest, most rebellious Spencer, constantly getting

B)The glorification of Ancient Greece(the Classics) can be seen in this art piece because the school or building portrays Athens, the capital of Greece. The building uses the architecture of Ancient Greece, and inside the building are many Greek philosophers or figures at that time.

Melissa Hamilton, a journalist for the Australian newspaper recently wrote an article tilted This (Transplanted) Life, which is a physical, inner and spiritual journey. It is a recount of her journey home, it’s written in first person to personalize her journey and evoke mood and tone with her audience. The composer uses juxtaposition to compare the city to her country home, “When we arrive I stumble with soft city feet over the gidgee stones” and to compare the people of the city and country “the quite is loud enough to keep them up at night.” Through her thorough description of the country surroundings and the lifestyle of the people that live there, she takes us on a spiritual journey of her hometown. The composer also uses creative language such as exaggeration, repetition, alliteration, personification and a metaphor to establish her love and knowledge of

In many places throughout the world many buildings, monuments and sculptures have been made. Some were made centuries ago, and some were made recently. Many works of arts are significant or a great part of history. Some of the many buildings that have been made throughout time could have also been dedicated to someone or something. For example, the Arch of Titus was dedicated to Titus. Another example would be the Arc de Triomphe which was dedicated to soldiers. Many buildings can have a very significant meaning behind them, in the following essay I will be speaking about the importance of both of these works of art, which are the Arch of Titus and the Arc de Triomphe.

Such decorative architectural images draw our attention to the way we view the world of buildings and underline the fact that most people usually only use a building for work and leisure without really understanding that sometimes these structures are a complex art form in their own right. Photographs, in subtle ways attempt to change
