In the Thomas Hardy poem "The Photograph" the main theme that the speaker is trying to display is power, and pain. While in the Patricia Young poem "Photograph, 1954" the main theme would be relationships between father and daughter, pain, and the feeling of being trapped. These two poems to have some major similarities and differences with the use of a photograph as the central image. By close examination you can point out that there are many similarities but as well some differences between the two poems "The Photograph" and "Photograph, 1954", and how they use the photograph as the central image, Theses similarities between "The Photograph" and "Photograph, 1954" include their idea to use the photograph as the central image.

Some of the similarities would be how they both display relationships between different people, for the poem "Photograph, 1958" the relationship would be between the four year old young child and the father. While for "The Photograph" the relationship is between a man and a women. The relationship's can easily relate to one another because they both are somebody relationship's can easily relate to one another because they both are somebody who is stronger and is acting violent to the other in the relationship. They use the photograph to represent the relationship between these people by having you picture the young girl being afraid of her father as he rips the stove out and when the man is burning the picture of a women to has great power over him. Which brings me to the next thing that these two poems are similar in, they both display power and how one person has more power over how the other feels. This is displayed when the man is burning the picture in "That Photograph" and at the end he feels bad about it because he would not want the women burning a picture of him as he did to her. It is also displayed in "Photograph, 1958" by having the father have more power over how the young girl feels and how everything he does effects how she feels in some way. The main difference would be how they describe the image to the reader, as well as how the reader would picture that image. These differed in a way that in "The Photograph" Hardy made you start off with a dark picture by having the first like be "The flame crept up the portrait line by line" (1) making you think the poem was about someone who wasn’t happy and was in a dark place in their life. While in "Photograph, 1958" Young made you start off in a happy place and made you picture a young girl and a father playing checkers which
In Emily Dickenson's "We Grow Accustomed to the Dark," and in Robert Frost's "Acquainted with the Night," the poets use imagery of darkness. The two poems share much in common in terms of structure, theme, imagery, and motif. Both poems are five stanzas long: brief and poignant. The central concepts of being "accustomed" to something, and being "acquainted" with something convey a sense of familiarity. However, there are core differences in the ways Dickenson and Frost craft their poems. Although both Dickenson and Frost write about darkness, they do so with different points of view, imagery, and structure.
The 1920’s were a very important era in America for better or worse. There were many issues in relation to race and how people of different ethnic groups were treated. African American had a cultural rejuvenation that being the Harlem Renaissance. The advent of the Ford Model T change the way how people traveled. Many may say an era like the 1950’s were highly comparable. Race related issues were on a decline as America as whole sought to be more accepting and the oppressed started to speak out on it. While some may argue that the 1920’s and the 1950’s were similar time periods, you can say they were different due to how the way minority ethnic groups were treated and the new consumerist lifestyles of people in the 1950’s. I believe that
The themes can be interpreted similarly; both poems are telling people to live life to the fullest. “Lucinda Matlock” is an example of what life could be if one really wants to enjoy it, but “George Gray” is an example of what not to do in life. George eventually realizes that he cannot be scared to be outgoing if he wants to enjoy life; he wants the life Lucinda lives. George is too terrified to go after it. These two poems describe two foil characters. They have a similar basis, but they are mostly opposites. These differences are what makes the themes similar. Another similarity in these poems is the titles. The titles, which are also the people’s names, describe the lives they led. Lucinda is a unique and different name and so was her life. George is a basic, common name, and Gray describes his dull and gloomy
Both of the poems have similar themes throughout their poems as well. Although they are expressed differently they both share a theme dealing with time moving by quickly and to live a life with no regrets.
Into –, subculture, refer to quote • Fashion, specifically between the 1950s and 1980s, played an extremely essential role in the construction of people’s identities and was often or not a way of expressing somebody’s personality and perhaps their current feelings. • Subcultures, especially post world war two, formed as individuals felt as though they were not part of the mainstream, consensual society. Fashion and style was very important to these subcultures as their alternative or quirky sense of style allowed them to be set apart from everybody else. • As time went on these stereotypical styles evoked certain ideologies and their fashion sense provided ‘outsiders’ with almost a ‘shortcut to meaning’ (Richard Dyer, 1979) of what the subcultures stood for, what their values were, and
So today and the 1950s were different in a lot of ways, but they were also similar in ways to. But they were not similar in many ways. The ways are having segregation and discrimination, unequal schools. However, there are no segregated schools today. The whites are blacks were separate in everything but no they do everything together, the fashion. The conditions of the schools were bad but now the schools are in good condition.
One similarity that the poems “A Blessing” and “Predators” have is that they both have tame animals. An example that supports this statement it that in the poem “Predators” there are two tame animals or domesticated animals. One example that proves this theory is that in the poem it explains that there is a dog and a cat that is the speaker’s pets. Additionally, in the poem “A Blessing” it explains that in the poem it informes that “We stepped over the barbed wire into the pasture.” This proves that the two Indian ponies are tame because the barbed wire is protecting them and they are in a pasture. Furthermore, the speakers also have similarities. One similarity between James Wright and Linda Hogan is that in the two poems they both learn something. James Wright learns about the feelings that the two Indian ponies had and how that made him happy and peaceful. Likewise, Linda Hogan learns that she needs to be more protective of her pets once she finds out that there are wild animals living in her
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.
Not only do these poems share differences through the speakers childhood, but also through the tones of the works.
In today’s modern view, poetry has become more than just paragraphs that rhyme at the end of each sentence. If the reader has an open mind and the ability to read in between the lines, they discover more than they have bargained for. Some poems might have stories of suffering or abuse, while others contain happy times and great joy. Regardless of what the poems contains, all poems display an expression. That very moment when the writer begins his mental journey with that pen and paper is where all feelings are let out. As poetry is continues to be written, the reader begins to see patterns within each poem. On the other hand, poems have nothing at all in common with one another. A good example of this is in two poems by a famous writer by
These two pieces of literature are alike in many ways here are some examples. In both stories no one was in the main characters corner. We can see this when Tessie tried to stand up for herself when instead her best friend picked up the heaviest rock in paragraph 74. When in Martins case as he was trying to stand up for himself no one stood up for him because they didn’t want to mess with the Nazis and also he didn’t stand up for them in their time of crisis. These two reads also show the theme about getting hurt in the process of standing up for what is right.
The 1950’s was composed of a prosperous, conformed society that was influenced by the spread of the Television and the Cold War. In the 1960s, conditions worsened in cities, feminism became more prevalent and aggressive attitudes were implemented in the fight for civil rights. Protests and war riots became more widespread across the nation due to powerful leaders and “sexual revolutions” taking place. Historians’ portrayal of the 1950’s being a very conservative, compliant society opposed to the 1960’s being full of enlightenment and rebellious actions accurately represents what was.
Therefore we have two poems which are deliberately changing their structure from the norm in order to create effect. However, these effects have totally different intentions, which lead to the end of the similarities and the first of many differences between the two poems.
The poet writes, ?We passed the School, where Children strove At Recess-in the Ring-We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain-? These are a few similarities between the two poems.
What the short story and the short film have in common are that Margot still get bullied by her peers because she has faint memories of the sun. They both take place in the same setting and it rains all year except for the one day when the sun shines. In both, margot gets locked into a closet which leads to her not being able to see the sunlight. The film and the story are fairly similar and have many similarities and many differences as well.
