Design Poem By Tywin

“For a poem to coalesce, for a character or an action to take shape, there has to be an imaginative transformation of reality which is no way passive…Moreover, if the imagination is to transcend and transform experience it has to question, to challenge, to conceive of alternatives, perhaps to the very life you are living at that moment. You have to be free to play around with the notion that day might be night, love might be hate, nothing can be too sacred for the imagination to turn into its opposite or to call experimentally by another name. For writing is

Once I was able to associate these words to emotions and issues present in everyday life, the poem started to make me feel sad. I began thinking about all of the emotions and feelings that everyone hides as they go about life. For example, how the waitress I see once a week may have an eating disorder, or how the singer I look up to just lost her son, or the businessman who got laid off today. Everyone has their own personal battle that they carry everywhere, at any given moment. This explains why the setting is so plain, since the internal struggles people face affect them even at a bus stop. While each person waits, the waitress may be thinking about how much skinnier the person next to her is. The singer could be remembering when she held her baby. And the business man could be planning how to break the news to his wife. No matter how small, everyone experiences a type of trauma or bad experience, and this poem seemed to show what happens when these emotions become bottled up. No one can help each other because they are so stuck within their own issues. The difficulty helping others reminded me of the idea of having to take care of yourself before being able to take care of others.

The importance of rhyme is found through evaluating the effect that it has on the reader. All of the rhyme in “The Tyger” is masculine rhyme. Ferociousness is more associated with masculinity than femininity, and this detail helps the speaker to create a more evil being in the reader’s mind. The rhyme scheme also ties the poem together and gives each stanza a common pattern. Each stanza is made up of two couplets, which keeps a steady rhythm when reading the poem and reminds the reader of the Tyger’s heartbeat and the cadence of his motion.

The first line in the poem says, “Tyger Tyger, burning bright.” By Blake repeating the word Tyger twice, it feels to the reader as if we are speaking directly to the tiger. The

The strongest literary element in William Blake's poem "The Tyger," which is figurative language. ‘’Figurative language can be defined as anything said or written that means something beyond the literal meaning of the words that are used’’ (2). The initial lines of Blake's poem are chock full of intense figurative language: Tyger! Tyger! burning bright, In the forests of the night, the tiger is not literally burning, of course, and this metaphor of fire and burning is carried out through the poem and takes on all sorts of associations, including an association with the infernal. Allusion also plays an important role in the poem. Stanza two includes an allusion to Icarus, who in classic myth attempts to fly to the sun ("...what wings..."). The allusion mixes with the fire imagery, and the idea that the creator forges the tiger in fire, like a blacksmith. Stanza five contains an allusion to the fall of Satan from heaven (the stars

In the poem the predominant is on of flattery and deception. It tells a story of a cunning spider enticing a little fly with his tricky words to fall into his trap. Similar how human beings are often influenced by the words of flattery of others. The spider tries deceiving the fly by luring her into the parlor by showing her pretty things, offering her a comfortable bed and good things to eat. When the spider fails at tempting the fly with those, the spider then uses his strongest weapon, fake flattery. This is how he eventually traps the fly at the end. Although the fly repeatedly states that he does not intend to enter because he has heard tales of victims who were subjected to his evilness and cruelty. The spider continues to give false praises, he is confident he will sway her and gives her compliments on her appearance. He offers her a chance to see her own beauty by giving her a looking glass so that she can appreciate her own beauty. He starts to convince the fly and her vanity ultimately does her in. The poet is warning people not to pay attention to false flattery and enticements and learn from the fly’s

Smith’s poem takes the reader to a time in her memory. Smith is describing the idea that are is made not encountered. Throughout the poem Smith is referring to a image of a man lying on the ground. He is surrounded by blue and red accents of color. In Smith’s poem, she refers to the man lying on the ground as a roman candle. He was nothing more than a dim light in a dark room. This shows that Smith’s tone is condescending at the begging of the poem. She displays little to know admiration for the photo in front of her. Then Smith describes the process of making art as rezoning and reacting. Although she’s c criticizing the work of someone else her ideas are true. The purpose of art is to instill a reaction from an observer or a reader. In a

In under 20 lines, Walt Whitman managed to give a broad detail of his views on the world in his poem “ A Noiseless Patient Spider”. He started by talking about his observation of a tiny spider that moves to a outtake on the world. The spider seems to be having difficulty creating its web as it constantly misses the support to stick to something to form a beautiful tricket of design known as a spiders web. Whitman uses the spiders constant missing as a metaphor about how us as humans may try to connect and hope to catch onto something or someone that will provide a steady web. As in the last stanza, Whitman said how his soul needed to catch a gossamer or web and catch and hold onto the connection. He soul is exhausted of being detached and

In my interpretation A noiseless patient spider by Whitman can be thought of a many different ways. In my experience with song lyrics or poetry or other writings the authors can in some cases be purposefully vague. While I am not certain if that is the case here. This poetry strikes me as one that for everyone could have some different meaning. Since this poem seems to refer to things that are greter then the sum of the parts. Each individual has a different image in their head of what those places mught be.

The spider in this poem is used as a symbol of the speaker’s soul. The poem discusses the soul of the speaker and the connections his soul tries to find within the world, just like a spider tries to connect its filaments to its surroundings of the world to create a web. Whitman uses alliteration in the fourth line of the first stanza stating, “It launched forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,” demonstrating that the spider is hard at work creating its web. He connects this idea with the second stanza because in this stanza he encourages his soul to work hard to make connections. Whitman discusses success when he writes, “Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul.” (line 10). Eventually, the speaker will be able to connect his soul to the surroundings of the world and rest peacefully just as a spider sits and rests after it successfully creates its

In my senior year of high school, in English, we read William Blake’s “The Tyger,” from his Songs of Experience. Despite the fact that it is older English, making it harder to understand, it’s still a powerful poem. “They Tyger” takes a few readings to get the full impact, by even the first line captivates “Tyger Tyger, burning bright.” You don’t know if the author is scared, awed, or maybe a little of both. The poem strengthens in tone as you read, from questioning, to something harder and fierce.

What is Hap? I don’t know. A name? The poem, “Hap,” is about undeserved suffering. The narrator has suffered the loss of his love by chance, and he is desperate to know a reason why. That way, he could hold onto his resentment and die, holding onto the knowledge that his love at least died for a reason. The narrator wants to know that there was deliberate thought put into his love’s removal from earth, that someone had recognized and acknowledged the suffering he is experiencing. As it is, he is dumbfoundedly numb knowing his lover died by chance, for no reason, as easily as one loses at dice.

The next stanza says there is “no tear in the pattern. It is perfect, as our gradual return to the maker of butterflies…” (Harjo). This says that the young man’s death was not meaningless but was part of God’s plan, which is always perfect; furthermore, we all return to him. In the next lines, we learn that the widow wants to bury him in a shirt she bought for him, but which he always hated; the argument, now continuing after death, makes everyone smile (Harjo).

The poem "Design" explores whether the events in nature are simply random occurrences or part of a larger plan by God, and if there's a force that dominates and controls our very existence. On that point both Jere K Huzzard and Everett Carter aggress on. They differ in their interpretations of the poem's ending and what they think Frost wanted to convey with his vague ending. Both agree that the last line of the poem was written in an undefined way with purpose on Frost's side. But each critic poses his own ideas regarding what is the meaning of that line. While Carter examines the whole poem in order to answer this question, Huzzard chose to focus only on the last two lines.

Earth is a confusing place. One doesn’t understand it, and yet wants to know it all. He has questions that don’t seem to have answers; questions about religion, science, nature and humanity. The poet Blake documented one such question in his poem “The Tyger.” He had a desire to know about the tiger. His fascination with the animal leads him to ask many questions about it, specifically about its creator. Wondering who made the tiger, what its origin was, he asks in what place was such a fierce creature designed. In what he has been taught about the physical world, he finds a scary contrast between the character of the creator and the creation. Looking at the questions Blake did, with what in mind the creator made the tiger, where it’s from,
