Ethics: Maturity Derives From Experience

The life of a poet is often a quiet one. From being left isolated by mental and physical illness, to being struck by life-changing tragedy, Christina Rossetti channels her intense emotions through writing. Often creating poetry was her one true release, as most of the time her depression caused her to be unhealthily apathetic. The less interested she became in the world around her, the more intense poetry she would write. With her sentences, she paints scenes that should be beautiful and distorts them, emphasizing the fact that everything can have a negative side. Rossetti, a nineteenth-century English poet, creates an incongruity in her work by comparing the beauty of seasons, flowers, and animals to the burden of her depression.

Something that I noticed in the poem was the fact that pastan makes the value of one item seem much higher whilst lowering the value of the item she is comparing it to. An example of this is when she mentions saving "a Rembrandt painting" and stating that the woman didn't have many years left anyhow. It seems as though she weighs the nonhuman option as more important that the actual human. This to me seems as though it could cause confusion to the reader as they may think that pastan values material goods more than a human life. Although the obvious answer to many would to be to save the old woman the way that pastan devalues the woman could make it as though she would rather save the painting which makes a fairly easy to answer question harder for others to answer.

This knowing that life should have an end reveals the painter’s freedom to the system run by those who wish to live forever. Along with the orderly, the difference of willful ignorance and freedom can be seen through the exchange of Leora Duncan.

To attain maturity, you must have a loss of innocence. For example, when a kid finds out that Santa Claus is not real, he is disappointed and cannot believe the fact that there is no Santa Claus, because

The use of symbolism and imagery is beautifully orchestrated in a magnificent dance of emotion that is resonated throughout the poem. The two main ideas that are keen to resurface are that of personal growth and freedom. Furthermore, at first glimpse this can be seen as a simple poem about a women’s struggle with her counterpart. However, this meaning can be interpreted more profoundly than just the causality of a bad relationship.

the many aspects of life that cannot be changed. Through the poem, she shows a

In class we have discussed articles on Ethics, Emotional Intelligence and Generational Differences in Managing Individuals, I began analyzing my own work experiences and the roles these aspects play in my life. Below is my reflection on how the three aspects are interrelated with each other.

The famous Greek historian Plutarch once said: “Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks”. He couldn’t have been more astute. By analysing poetry, we are not just appreciating the soul of the poet and what drove him/her, but we also come to comprehend the spirit of the period that the poet was writing.

In the passage, Jane Eyre, the author is able to transmit the feelings of constraintment and imprisonment of the orphan girl by using the girl's point of view on how she was directed at and as well as providing an insight of imagery of the girl's surroundings. By utilizing the orphan girls' point of view, the author expresses how the girl felt constraint due to how she was spoken. In line 15-16 it is written how one woman responsible for her had "dispensed from joining the group" and continuing to ignore her as well from "exclude me from privileges." The feeling of constraintment towards the girl is delivered through her point of view.

The paradox of the poem, according to a critique, Alport Andrew, is how Bishop uses paradox to reassure the readers throughout the poem, but she fails to do so. In “One Art,” Bishop’s main focus is to explain and convince readers how everything is survivable, and how every loss is something they will survive; the interesting part is how everything shatters at the last stanza where she almost confesses her fake optimism for surviving. The Author showed a large scale of contradiction and paradox by use of elements of writing such as repetition, allegory, rhyming, and

Given the almost collapse of the very foundation of the financial industry in the United States which then rapidly metastasized to a financial and economic crisis with global proportions, ethics and ethical behaviours in doing business and the lack of it was one of the major factors why the mortgage meltdown happened. Thus, it is even more necessary now that organizations focus on the personal ethical developments of all of its individual members. This paper aims to explore the developmental aspect of one's ethics including the importance of ethics and ethical systems.

The most prominent quality of Elizabeth Bishop’s, “One Art,” remains the concise organization and rhyme scheme of the poem, which amazingly keeps the audience informed at all times what the theme. Her choice of a villanelle constantly reminds the audience that “the art of losing” always seem easy until one loses something so much more than an inanimate object and at the point, it does become a “disaster.” Written in 1976, the poem is very modern and uses an impeccable rhyme scheme, diction, and imagery to convey the hints of misery and frantic the speaker feels.

Love makes people become selfish, but it is also makes the world greater. In this poem, the world that the speaker lives and loves is not limited in “my North, my South, my East and West / my working week and my Sunday rest” (9-10), it spreads to “My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song (11). The poem’s imagery dominates most of the third stanza giving readers an image of a peaceful world in which everything is in order. However, the last sentence of the stanza is the decisive element. This element not only destroys the inner world of the speaker, but it also sends out the message that love or life is mortal.

Even when the “September rain falls” and in the “failing light”, the house should still be secure and warm place. But where is this sense of comfort in Sestina? It appears that even though both the grandmother and the child are in the “chilly” house, they are far apart from each other. She “busies herself” and tries to hide her emotions while it draws in the other end of the kitchen. The grandmother’s actions create a sense of secrecy and hint that she hides something. Despite the brief moments of contact when showing the picture the child drew, the two characters are mentally immersed in their own worlds. In contrast to “Sestina”, the home in “Filling Station” keeps and engages people in their life together. The poem reveals the intimate connection between the members of a family and their ability to call a dark and dirty place home. In “Filling Station”, Bishop establishes the emblematic feelings of comfort and security. In a greasy gas station, the people are close together and love each other. In “Sestina", contrary to the archetypal notion, the people in the home are distanced from each other. There is brief moment of interaction when the child show its picture which includes an unknown man. He, or his absence, might be the grandmother’s source of

“One Art” divides into two equal parts. First three stanzas the speaker addresses her audience and in the last three she speaks of her by using the pronoun “I”. It navigates from the general to the personal making the verses progress to a level in which the reader learns about the speaker’s biography: at least a few important events in her life, that is, her mother’s watch to her significant other. This mirror symmetry reflects the separation between you and I; the former serves a fellow or student, the latter as master or expert. Hence, poet’s expertise is on the modeling, not so in the preaching. These examples, demonstrate that she is ethically fit to teach you, the reader, about the art of losing. In other word, the proof is in the puddling; the only way of learning is by trying, “Then practice losing farther and losing faster” (7). This is the way the poet shows us her talent. She vehemently expounds on every significant misfortune
