Essay On Chicago By Carl Sandburg

George Szirtes article “Formal Wear: Notes on Rhyme, Meter, Stanza, and Pattern” from the Poetry Foundation opens with opinions which focus on limitations of poetic form. As a counter to these common arguments, Szirtes claims, “Verse is not decoration: it is structural. It is a forming principle and words at depth” ("Formal Wear: Notes” 2). He then develops an argument explaining, “the constraints of form are spurs of the imagination: that they are in fact the chief producers of imagination” ("Formal Wear: Notes” 2). Taking these ideas into consideration Szirtes incorporates the idea of language explaining how language connects to memory and imagination which come together to form poetic images. Additionally, when poets use form it develops

Chicago is a beautiful city with many different people and things to learn or experience; however, it is a city of segregation, and it has been that way for a long time. Even though it may not be quite visible today, it still happening thorough our city. However, what is so special about ethnicity that people have to hate on each other? Is it because we all are born with different backgrounds or is it because we are raised to hate others? In the history of Chicago’s segregation, we learn about how the whites are seen as the superior beings than others in America. Moreover, we all have seen and learn how race is displayed through our media. Additionally, we all have grown up attaining knowledge from our elders, and we learn about values in life. The society of Chicago are segregated by our history, media, and standards.

This chapter identifies how geography happens to Black Chicagoans through social, political, economic, and spatial apparatuses that are mapped into and onto the landscape of Chicago (Shabazz, 2015). Unearthing how these processes become spatialized reveals the ways that they are also embedded in the memories and bodies of Black Chicagoans over various space-times. While my focal point for this thesis is the Chicago that the Black house community experience—specifically between 1972-1988—connecting the historical sociospatial linkages of Black geographies in Chicago is paramount, particularly back to the arrival of the second wave of Southern Black migrants who came to Chicago during the Great Migration . I begin with the arrival of the second

University of Chicago is located near downtown Chicago, Illinois, which is 233 miles away. University of California, Berkeley, is located in Berkeley, California, which 2,346 miles from my house. University of Michigan is located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, 57.1 miles away from my house. However, I want to move to move the from the Toledo area and explore other cities, so I would prefer moving farther away from here. UC Berkeley is the farthest from Toledo and is near the city of San Francisco and San Jose, so I would have access to the many larger urban resources as well as have the opportunity to be in a suburban area as well as the city in less than 15 miles.

Poetry is a form of literature in which the writer can express themselves and their ideas as they please. Some writer using similar methods to paint an image in the reader 's head to help understand the poem better.

Poetry has a role in society, not only to serve as part of the aesthetics or of the arts. It also gives us a view of what the society is in the context of when it was written and what the author is trying to express through words. The words as a tool in poetry may seem ordinary when used in ordinary circumstance. Yet, these words can hold more emotion and thought, however brief it was presented.

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

With so many rules in the English language, it is easy for one to wonder how they were created. The dictionary, for example, was only created a few hundred years ago by people who thought that was how language was supposed to be. Many artists have had the mission to go forward and break these “rules.” Gertrude Stein’s Tender Buttons, bill bissett’s “text bites,” and John Agard’s “I Ain’t No Oxford Don” question rules of grammar and synaptic normality. By the way, these poems disrupt words, use non-standard prose, and have ambiguous interpretations they break the rules of grammar and disrupt the formal laws of language, inducing new ways of about the how one produces meaning.

Sandburg was very candid and raw about the reality of Chicago and the cycle it has gone through despite grotesque circumstances pertaining to the inhabitants. The beauty of this poem lies within the fervent passion among the citizens of Chicago. Sandburg and Whitman not only share the commonality of writing in free-verse but shared the same purposes; both poets celebrated American accomplishments. Admitting, acknowledging, and embracing one’s faults can lead to future success, as long as the individual remains

“Chicago” After reading “Chicago” by Carl Sandburg I could clearly see his passion for his city. His view of the people around him and the workings of the inner city are full of first hand experiences. He is obviously very proud of Chicago but he still describes all aspects of living in the city.
