Erika Does Appear Like The Man's Final Monologue

Maturity from Death and Grief in Robert Pinsky’s “Dying” This poem is a personal elegy that dramatizes the impact of death to people and how they can cope with it. The poem renders our superficiality towards the idea of dying. On the other hand, when a certain death of a loved one happens directly to us, only then will we think deeply of the concept of dying. One’s perception of death depends on the circumstances a person go through. The first part of the poem discusses the speaker’s personal experience with death. The speaker points out that unless people go through sorrow and grievance brought by the death of a loved one, the essence of death fades. The second part of the poem illustrates a person’s growth upon firsthand experience of death. Ultimately, we become mature and emotionally resilient upon understanding a different perspective of death and grievance.

The poem has a lot of meaning behind it, the poem uses alliteration throughout. I feel that I can relate the speaker of the poem because the speaker talks about how life isn't easy but there is always a better way. The way the author uses the different meaning throughout is one reason why I enjoy the poem. My favorite line in the poem in “Even if you are not ready for the day it cannot always be night” because behind the line is very meaningful, because even if your not ready to move on from something that happened, you cannot stay in that place

This poem talks about nature and death. William Cullen Bryant shares that nature can make death less painful. He says that when we start to think about death, we should go outside, and look around and listen to the natural earth sounds. This is supposed to remind us that when we die, we will mix back into the earth. The poem tells us that when we die, we will not be alone. We will be with every other person that has ever been buried, In the ground, which in this poem is called the “great tomb of man”. It also tells us that even those that are still living will soon die and join in the great tomb of man. This poem is meant to comfort those that are afraid of dying and death in general. At the end of the poem, we are told to think of death as

Adding God into this this puts a religious spin on it that could mean something deep down. I really liked this poem because there’s so many questions at first about the meaning that I had to really think about my interpretation.

acually its deeper if you look into this poem. You see more of what she is saying. This poem

As the poem goes on it gets deeper with meaning, sadder even. Lines four and five are the most crucial lines of the poem. Line three ends with the head giving the heart advice. “You will lose the ones you love. They will all go,” this isn’t the first thing someone wants to hear, especially not someone who is aware that they have just lost someone they love. But this is classic, logical advice that your emotions need to hear. What it means is that one day everyone you love will be gone, it is the sad truth of the world we live in. Nothing is forever. “But even the earth will go,

I think these key images all tie in together. All of these memories and past experiences say that he has previously been a very emotional person because of the things he has gone through. In the beginning I was feeling it was dark and mysterious, but as I continued to read it, it became clear of what he was trying to say and express parts of his life. These lines are what define the real meaning of the poem. These lines have real meanings and memories behind them and you can tell that just by simply reading it a few times, and thinking about the thoughts he had expressed in the poem.

In this poem “I Felt a Funeral, in My Brain”, Emily Dickinson seems to be suffering a traumatic experience or situation at that time, difficult to control inside her brain. She attempts to explain this painful emotion through this poem using a variety of literary techniques that include metaphor, symbolism,

This poem is about a teenage girl who is servilely depressed, because she is abused by her parents. She thinks she can escape what she is dealing with by doing drug, and is taking killing herself into consideration. She thinks by taking her own life she will finally be happy and never again have to deal with the pain her parents put her though. Her “dreams” are literal, but also are her thoughts when she is high on drugs “I sleep in the clouds, dream in the sky / I’ll keep dreaming as life passes me by / I think my dreams keep me sane” (See appendix). The drugs are keeping her sane, because they are stopping her from killing herself, because they are temporally taking the pain away “I dream of happiness, a life without pain” (4).

This Poem has certain words and lines that convey the bittersweet mood. In other words, the speaker is sad because Molly died but he has

The entire poem has a very dark mood. It has very deep traces of helplessness and a misplaced self identity for the narrator. The tone shifts a few times, but throughout it shares the same darkness of the mood. First there is anger, then sadness and, finally complete vulnerability. Any piece of literature that talks about an addict of any sort, tends to be very dark and depressing. This poem is no exception to that idea.

The poem is a reality poem about real life. It infers about memories, nature, and the cycle of life and death. Things can only stay beautiful for so long, but the circle of life will continue. The ending seems like the world is over, but in reality it will keep on going.

Furthermore, how you analyzed that it was a B-D rhyme pattern enhanced my reading of the poem. Also, I thought it was interesting how you discussed how Johnson used imagery to show happiness and youth. Finding out if she felt the way the person in the poem did would be fascinating.

However, it shows the misunderstanding of the ‘River God’ as she is drowned, ‘Oh who would guess what a beautiful white face lies there’, ‘white face’ implying she is dead, leading you to feel sympathetic again towards him as he is totally ignorant of everything going on around him. ‘On a Portrait of a Deaf Man’, the writer uses the deaf man to display what exactly he/she has lost through his death, ‘He knew the names of ev’ry bird’. This shows how caring he was and this would presumably translate to how he acts to people – kind and caring – and lead to sympathy as you would never want to lose a person so good to die. The poem also describes what further potential to do good he had if he knew what was coming, ‘He would have liked to say good-bye/Shake hands with many friends.’ This causes a sympathetic response from the reader because again even though he was dying he would have wanted to show respect to his friends rather than just leaving. It also creates sympathy because the person who has lost this ‘kind’ man would be very upset about his/her death. We see this when he/she blames God for his death as he didn’t save him/her, ‘’Save his soul and pray.’/ You ask me to believe You and/ I only see decay.’ – this shows a stage of mourning in which you blame others for the death you have experienced.
