It is then Myop quickly grows up and suddenly becomes aware of the world in which she lives. The story relies on setting and symbolism to convey the theme of departing innocence.

Whenever a scene of a movie approaches where a debacle unravels or innocent lives are jeopardized, audiences grip their chairs in anticipation for help to come or for a hero to spring into action and save lives. Similarly, in many circumstances, no matter how dire an event might seem, there is always a beacon of hope amongst doleful situations. From every ending comes a new beginning. The poem, “November Cotton Flower”, written by Jean Toomer, describes (the conditions when slaves were under the Harlem Renaissance) the conditions in which slaves were under during the Harlem Renaissance where there seems to be no prospect for a brighter future for the slaves in the society. Throughout the poem, Toomer develops his theme of hope and desire for a brighter future by exhausting literary devices such as metaphors, structure, and imagery.

“Then how do you explain all the things that still happen to them now?” Savannah then asked me now sounding implacable.

Rats, termites, squirrels, weeds, and dandelions. These are the vermins and poisons that invade our lives and that we want no part of. But, all these “vermins and poisons” are there to survive like us. Like us, these aggressors have to adapt and strengthen themselves against the toxin used to drive them away.

To use the name of a Saint generally evokes images of holy men and women of the Catholic church, dressed in flowing robes and surrounded by an oil-painted aura. There are patron saints-those with a sort of specialized divinity-of bakers and bellmakers, orphans and pawnbrokers, soldiers and snake bites, soldiers and writers. Each is a Catholic who lived a life deemed particularly holy and was named, postmortem, by the Pope to sainthood. This construct, I find, is something of an empty set of ideas. The process of canonization is one notorious for its pecuniary nature and tendencies toward corruption. What kind of hope, then, can one possibly be offered by a long-dead person so chosen?

He quickly changes the subject. ‘’What’s them plants? Ma’am?’’ He’s smart since he’s still trying to get her to pay to his services so he talks about her flowers. The conversation goes well and this is where he finally shows his true colors.

“That would be wonderful!” the woman exclaimed. Marquis squatted down and started picking as many weeds as he could. Hoping he would be able to pick enough for the two of them before the overseer came through their row again.

Poppies fall, They are forgotten. Our men fall, We forget them. A year passes, we wear a poppy.

The title of the poem “My mistress eyes are nothing like the sun” suggests that the speaker is not in love with his ‘mistress’. However, this is not the case. Shakespeare uses figurative language by using criticizing hyperboles to mock the traditional love sonnet. Thus, showing not only that the ideal woman is not always a ‘goddess’, but mocking the way others write about love. Shakespeare proves that love can be written about and accomplished without the artificial and exuberant. The speaker’s tone is ironic, sarcastic, and comical turning the traditional conceit around using satire. The traditional iambic pentameter rhyming scheme of the sonnet makes the diction fall into place as relaxed, truthful, and with elegance in the easy flowing verse. In turn, making this sonnet one of parody and real love.

Before I reveal the theme of the poem “Sunday Greens” to you, I will have to give you all the details and the background of the poet, Rita Dove. First of all the poet, Rita Dove, is a female who wants people to understand life in her way. The poem that Rita Dove wrote was “Sunday Greens”, and it is about a girl who has a tough life because she has to always cook the same food that everyone eats for her family. She wants to change her life and be free so, she can cook anything she wants like “S+” food. We all can see why she wants to change her life because her house stinks and her husband just sleeps, while she has work really hard to keep her life happy. She later remembers that her mother has the same exact life she has, and she realizes that her kids will probably have the same life as her. After reading all of the stanzas carefully, I have found the theme of the poem. And that lead me to think that you should change your life if you hate it because if you don’t,
