Larry Eyler was born on December 21, 1952 in Crawfordsville, Indiana and was the youngest child out of four. Eyler was raised by his mother and several stepfathers. His adopted father and three stepfathers all severely, mentally and physically abused Eyler. At the age of two Eylers parents divorced and later at the age of four his mother married her second husband. The marriage with the second husband did not last long and they divorced the following year. Again there was a third marriage when Eyler was seven, but they divorced when he was eleven. The final marriage was after Eyler turned twelve, which ended in yet another divorce. Even though his mother suffered from many divorces she then had boyfriends come and go from her son’s life. He was, at the age of

As we read through, the reader can begin to see a change in the tones of the poems. In A November Landscape, the tone is very dark and sad until it hits the third stanza. The speaker talks very sad then, the author adds the word “yet” to show the reader it is not all what it seems. He then finishes the last stanza by saying “April lured the crocus through snow” which shows signs of spring. The tone in Winter brightens up and talks about how “spring must take its place” but then is quickly switch around and the speaker says “I tell you no” and ends the poem with absolutely no hope and says “who watch each other with the winter’s look, touch with his hand, speak with his bitter breath”.

As I was reading James Eunice’s biography tonight, it struck me with a feeling of despair, but, also, with a desire to spread the gospel. Throughout our lives, there are many moments that we just let pass by, not sharing God’s word with those which do not know him and later feeling regret for our actions. While this is accurate for a lot of people, from what I have read and heard about James, he was beyond doubt a remarkable young man because he shared God’s word every day with anyone who would listen. If everyone was like James and loved people, life, and God just as much as he did, I believe the world would be a way better place. So, from this moment on, I am going to make it a point to try and be just as remarkable as he was and share God’s kindness, love, and forgiveness with everyone that I meet.

Imagine if you were escaping North Korea of trapped in a canyon with no one around or being hunted by another human being. Wouldn’t you have an anxiety attack? Surviving those situations would be amazing, just like Hyeonseo Lee escaping North Korea with her whole family, also like Aron Rolston survived being trapped for 6 days in a canyon in Utah, and like Rainsford survived being hunted by General Zaroff. Lee’s courage, Ralston’s intelligence, and Rainsford’s craftiness shows what it takes to

Keats poem “Ode to Autumn” is part of series of poems. This particular poem was the most popular for its contrasting simplicity. He makes you see the relationship of nature by describing the relationships and reactions. For example the in the first stanza he speaks of the arrival of autumn and the way the sun works to develop the rest of his surroundings such as the grapes, gourds and vines. In the poem he references the music of the summer and how the music of the welcoming of autumn is heard in the gnats, crickets, robins and swallows (Keats, 1936). It is a very natural way to see the world from Keats perspective. Until now no one has ever given the subjective experience of surroundings.

Firstly, both Robert and Edgar implement nature and autumn to express the sorrow that they are feeling across to the reader. The method they use to convey sorrow pulls the reader into the poem as an abundant amount of people suffer from seasonal depression. When Robert Frost says, “She’s glad the birds are gone away,” he means that his sorrow strengthens from the feeling of being alone. This is similar to the feeling of solitude and sorrow that the narrator in “Alone” feels throughout the story. Furthermore, when Edgar Allan Poe says, “Of a demon in my view” the demon is the loneliness and sorrow he has felt

First , we see In theses poems, the act of creation is pictured as a kind of self-harvesting; the pen harvests the fields of the brain, and books are filled with the resulting "grain" . In "To Autumn", the metaphor is developed further, the sense of coming loss that permeates the poem confronts the sorrow underlying the season's creativity. When Autumn's harvest is over, the fields will be bare, the swaths wit their "twined flowers" cut

In the first stanza, Keats develops his ode to Autumn through vivid imagery detailing his appreciation for the season’s life as well as his acknowledgement of the death that succeeds it. Although fall is a transition to death, the season itself symbolizes a harvest of life, shown through the personification of Autumn as a “Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun; Conspiring with him how to load and bless With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run.” The detailed imagery of the sun and Autumn working together to bring about the life of the season reveals the speaker’s respect for the natural beauty and life created by the season. However, death is not entirely absent from the first stanza, as the diction of the “maturing sun” reveals that the speaker is aware that fall will not last forever, and the death of winter will eventually take over. The speaker’s internal conflict over the inevitable loss of Autumn is shown

The most obvious literary device utilized in the poem is the repetition of the two lines; “sorrow of autumn”, and “the slow goodbye”. Each sorrow of autumn describes a different stage in life, beginning at in the first paragraph, with youth and childhood being described as a garden that stands so long into the evening, all the way to the end of the poem with an old, wrinkled face reflecting on his or her life and what he or she could have done to have made it better. The line “the slow goodbye” refers to the steady decline of something in life, such as youth or joy. The repetitions that Hughes used in the work made it much more deep and meaningful.

Autumn is represented as a playful and bountiful figure. Set amongst a rich tapestry of autumnal plants, fruits and flowers, her long auburn hair holds a wreath of chrysanthemums. She gathers grapes from an abundant vine; a metaphor for the bountiful supplies that Autumn offers.

It shifts from stanza to stanza. Presented like a supernatural power in the first stanza, and still addressed as season (“[s]eason of mists”, l. 1), Autumn is present and active, changing nature together with the sun (“[c]onspiring with him how to load and bless”, l. 3), and putting summer's work to the extreme (“more, | And still more”, l. 9). In the second stanza, Autumn is very much humanized, since they are described in human terms (“sitting careless”, l. 14; “keep | Steady thy […] head” l. 19 f. …). They are still present, but very passive, in their role as a

In this poem the writer has a love of autumn and we see this at the

The senses of sight, known as visual imagery, is frequently illustrated in this poem. The first line of the poem states, “Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;” (Keats 771). The first line is filled with alliteration - mists, mellow, and maturing. It also describes how the fall consists of foggy air, and it expresses how the sun is fully developed and is beginning to diminish its brightness. During the fall, the sun is not compelled to shine as bright as it does in the summer or spring. The weather is cooler with cloudy skies, along with the leaves changing from bright green to warm colors. The leaves are falling from the trees with the help of the chill breeze. From the trees, grow tasteful fruits and eye-catching blossoms which assists the fall in letting one see the beautiful, graphic creation this season truly is. In essence, this poem allows one to experience taste or the gustatory imagery of fruit.
