Belknap Vs Longfellow

The next difference that stands out between the two poems is the different tones in the speakers. In the poem by Robert Hayden, the tone comes off as having sadness and regret towards the speaker’s father. The poem says, “What did I know, what did I know of loves austere and lonely offices?” (13). In this writing, the speaker is now older and is looking back on what her father did for her as a child to show his love. She is sad now because, in her mind, she thought that her father did not care about her, but looking back she can clearly see that he loves her, which now makes her regret her relationship with him. In the poem by Lucille Clifton, the tone of the speaker can be perceived as the speaker being bitter and angry towards her father because he never bothered to take care of her and her mother both emotionally and financially. Clifton writes, “But you were the only son of a needy father, and the father of a needy son; you gave her all you had which was nothing” (12). The speaker’s father never gave his family anything, therefore, the speaker wants everything she never got in return. Both of these poems tie into theme in a certain way. “Those Winter Sundays” tone ties back to theme because they deal with regret and sadness because of the love the speaker never knew as a child.

In 1972, the Supreme Court ruled that the death penalty systems then in place were unconstitutional violations of the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on “cruel and unusual” punishments. In response to the decision many states changed their death penalty systems. Four years later in Gregg v. Georgia (1976), the Court reaffirmed the death penalty as constitutional. Troy Gregg had been found guilty of murder and armed robbery and sentenced to death. He asked the Court to go further than it had in the Furman case, and rule the death penalty itself unconstitutional (n.d.,Web).

The most obvious difference is the fact that one shows the perspective of a woman while the other tells a story from a man's perspective. The letter is written by a guy in the army to his wife and kids. He talks more about how he loves the Country so much that he is willing to die for it. The major does not really mind the fact that he is about to die and leave his family behind. Instead he tells his wife and kids to stay strong and that he will always be there for them. In contrast, the poem talks about how the women values her husband’s love and how he is such an idol. She would put her husband before anything and anyone. Just by reading the poem people are able to tell how much this women respects and loves her husband.Although they both love their families, one is willing to give up his life and abandon them.

The comparison between the two poems is kinda similar. they both have to do with something religious and it both talks about god. in Huswifery the guy is a sinner who wants to be pure and a saint. He basically tells god to make him a robe of glory and to make him into all these parts of a spindle. and he just keeps telling god to do this for him. And in Sinners In The Hands Of a Angry God talks about the same thing almost. In this one it talks about the sermon calmly telling all the people that if they don't go to church they will all go to hell and be tortured. And he also said that the only thing between you and hell is the air. He tried to scare all the people by how calm and how he put images in there heads. About god's wrath and how there

The different view of poem and letter rendered its validity, as you can see in this quote “Listen my children and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere”. In this poem, when you see the part “Listen, my children”, you can notice that the actual speaker is twinkly-eyed, and sharp- minded grandfather. Furthermore, the tone in this poem drops to a whisper, but sometimes rise to a shout, having full of excitement every time, which may drop integrity by decreasing concentration of the readers. Similarly, it’s hard to suppose that all the facts in the poem are came from precise knowledge. In this quote “It was two by the village clock, when he came to the bridge in Concord town”, Longfellow records Revere as riding both Lexington and Concord, when in fact Revere was captured outside of Lexington and never reached Concord although his companion Dr. Prescott did. An unproved or false collective beliefs are being used to justify Paul Revere’s

So, in conclusion, “Paul Revere’s Ride” by Henry Longfellow, was a poem trying to make Paul

There are lots of things in the poems that are similar and different both of the writers are different and similar in many ways .In the poem’s “When You Are Old” By W.B Yeats, and “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night” By Dylan Thomas.They have a bunch of similarities and differences.For example in each of the poems the theme of the poems are death and the narrator’s message in the rhyming pattern poems are both similar in the poems ,and the writing style of the poems are rhyme schemes and therefore they use different rhyme scheme in each of the poems.

That supports my reasoning. Another reason the poem and letter written about Paul Revere are similar is because in the letter he is warned of British soldiers ahead of him by other people while there is no evidence of this in the poem. A quote to support me is from the letter written by Paul Revere it states “ While the horse was preparing, Richard Devens, Esq., who was one of the Committee of Safety, came to me and told me that he came down the road from Lexington after sundown that evening; that he met ten British Officers, all well mounted, and armed, going up the road.” This quote is important because in the quote someone is warning him of ten enemy soldiers ahead. There is no evidence in the reading written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow this proves that the two documents because one reading has something the other doesn’t. Lastly, the two reading are different because in the letter it gives details about where Paul warned people from one place to the other unlike the other article. A quote to support this is from the letter it states “ In Medford, I awaked the Captain of the minutemen; and after that, I told almost every house, till I got to Lexington [10].” This quote is important because it say how far he went to warn people and how and a person he did

Both the poems have the theme of love, written from a man’s point of view, and explores the way men treat woman in relationships. The former does this by a male narrator writing a poem to a female, using imagery to entice her. The latter by using a duke, explaining the story of what happened to his previous wife whilst looking at her picture. Both the poems use imagery and other poetic devices but in different ways. The first uses them more often to impress her. The second uses them in a

The differences between the letter and the poem are first that the letter is way more accurate than the poem.The reason they are mainly different is that the letter is much more accurate than the poem the first example is that the letter was written by Paul Revere.The second reason is that the poem depicts the somerset as a phantom ship and and menacing.This is surprising because in the letter of Paul revere he did not mention the somerset.The writer of the poem most likely added this to make the story more appealing to audiences. He also put that the somerset was menacing and that it was described as a phantom ship this shows that he was writing something that not boring to an audience.The third reason that i know that the poem writes is not

Charles R. Swindoll once stated, “Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you respond to it.” This quote refers to the concept of Romanticism. TI and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow utilize this concept in their art. TI is an American rapper who rose to fame in the early 2000’s. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was an American poet.

They both use symbolism, imagery and much more. There are many metaphors all over the two poems. For example, it was used in Auden's poem when he says the “Irish vessel” which is William Yeats, and in Whitman's poem, he uses the vessel to present the people of the USA. The “Irish vessel” which is Williams body lying down on the ground but that body is only carrying nothing but poetry, while the “vessel” in “O Captain My Captain” is the ship and it is comparing it to the people of the USA, and how they felt. For example “the vessel grim and daring” this shows that the people of the USA are celebrating the end of the civil war. Yet the Auden doesn’t really talk about the people, but he does mention Ireland is mad by saying “Mad Ireland hurt you into poetry”. Here he is using personification, and it shows us that the Irish history has influenced Yeats

Both poems use different tools to describe emotions; both authors use double meaning, hyperbole, repetition, and irony. Both poems talk about love in different ways. One is remembering the loved one and the other one is trying to convince herself to be strong because that beloved person is not there

The first change from the original poem was the mood. In the the Romantic version, the poet

Both poems have very different views on the world in which we live in. Whilst Wordsworth wrote ¡®Composed Upon Westminster Bridge¡¯ he was travelling through London on his way to France, happy in his own thoughts. This is dissimilar to Hopkins as he wrote God¡¯s Grandeur after facing much death and sadness in his own life.
