"Grey's Anatomy" is a popular drama doctor show to this day. They had a music event episode where everyone sang and they had two songs that display the symbolic cycle. Both pieces compliment each other because of their similarities in the symbolic cycle, birth and death. The visual display of the songs fit together because of the setting and how the music itself develops throughout each song. These songs were chosen to be in "Grey's Anatomy" because they illustrate real life of losing someone and being blind to someone's pain they try to hide. In "How to Save a Life" and "The Story" the composers develop the theme of life and death.

The poems I have chosen to write about are ‘They flee from me’ by Sir

Throughout both pieces of literature “anyone lived in a pretty how town” by E. E. Cummings and “The Great Gatsby” by Scott Fitzgerald both show a very powerful message about love and death through a romantic tone. In “The Great Gatsby” George shows his love for his deceased wife Myrtle by killing Gatsby because he thinks he the one that killed his beloved wife. Readers know this isn't true, but what seems to matter most is that he loved his wife so much that he took someone else's life and his own all on behalf of his wife because of his grief over losing her? His love was so strong it goes beyond her death? This is a good place to connect back to your thesis statement.. In the poem “anyone lived in a pretty how town” shows a romantic because in line 12 it states “that noone loved him more by more” it shows that love is a genuine thing and it comes from deep down inside

The poem “love poem” is by John Frederick Nims it is a one hundred and seventeen word poem with six verses of four lines in each, the second and also fourth lines rhyme with each other. This poem is very descriptive and has a lot of meaning in it just by the words this poet chooses to use and also in his style of writing. The first three words of this poem he was either speaking or addressing to his beloved one it said “My clumsiest dear”. We quickly learn that this is the woman he loves and that she nearly breaks everything she comes across, “her hands wreak disasters” “shipwreck vases”. They are like proverbial bulls in a china shop, he mentions and they catch in fine cloth like the burrs of weeds. In this poems first couple of verses mostly

To emphasize the significance of love to a human being’s survival, the poem begins with the many aspects that love isn’t capable of. By stating the ways love is useless in providing as a necessity of life, the speaker is able to persuade the reader(s) that it serves no real purpose. Displaying the a b a parts of a Shakespearean sonnet rhyme scheme, love “is not meat or drink nor slumber nor a roof against the rain; nor yet a floating spar to men that sink,” (Millay 1-3) it holds no practical value. It can’t provide you with food and shelter you from nature or even help you to survive. In other words, these stanzas connected the image of love to an idea of uselessness in surviving.

Love is such an abstract concept for the human mind to figure out. Along with the love of a mother for her child, there are many types of sensual love or brotherly love; friendship is frequently described as a type of love, as well. This abstraction can also be distorted and made to fit into categories that would normally be associated with negativity and abuse not "love." Think of why a woman will continually go back to an abusive spouse with the irrational reason that "he loves me." If he loved you, he wouldn't beat you…Would he? In a poem, the confusion seems only to extend, as writers will describe a beautiful event that is tainted by a

A poem is a piece of writing that partakes of the nature of both speech and song that is nearly always rhythmical, usually metaphorical, and that often exhibits such formal elements as meter, rhyme, and stanza structure. In her poem, “Variations of the Word ‘“love”’,” Margaret Atwood introduces to her audience the word “love” from many different perspectives. Google defines “love” as “an intense feeling of deep affection”, or “having a deep feeling or sexual attachment to (someone).” But “love” is not something that can easily be described. Atwood goes on to present and portray the word through different illustrations, beginning with cliché examples and ending with her own personal scenarios. The author’s tone and metaphorical language effectively conveys her perspective of “love”.

Pre 1914 Love Poetry from the Victorian and Elizabethan Era Conventional females were considered to be second class citizens who were expected to refrain in conveying their natural feelings and emotions. Women were also socially neglected, as they were expected to remain at home whilst their respective husbands ensured the upkeep of the family by managing the family finances. The male population at this point in time ignorantly viewed women as coy, innocent characters, seemingly unaware that women had the same feelings and emotions as themselves.

} Death here is represented as a lover "more beautiful" than his first love which suggests that the speaker prefers death over someone else. In many different poems, death is commonly portrayed as something that is dark and scary but William Butler Yeats portrays death as a beautiful woman which is different because death is not commonly thought as elluring or appealing to many people. Finally, a eccentric aspect about this poem is that the speaker is thinking about the eternal form of sleep in a short period of sleep (in his dreams) since death is represented as a eternal period of

Love and death is very meaningful to humans. Love and death are eternal, above and beyond physical entities, and extremely powerful . The poems “Death be not proud,” by E.E. Cummings, and “To My Dear and Loving Husband,” by Anne Bradstreet, are poems that explain love or death. The poems are very similar despite one being about love and the other being about death. Death and love are very comparable despite their obvious differences. Love creates a pleasant image, while death creates an eerie image. Despite the images having the opposite emotions, the meanings behind the words are very similar.. Love and death create a deeper meaning than humans can comprehend.

Poetry is a varied art form. Poetry is expression with words, using aesthetics and definition. Word choice in poetry is the single most important thing. Devices such as assonance, alliteration and rhythm work in a poem to convey a certain image or to facilitate understanding. Similes and metaphors can take two unlike objects, such as a potato and cinderblock, and if done the correct way use them to describe how Abraham Lincoln dealt with scoundrels. Poetry is beautiful. One of the best genres in poetry, let alone a great literary movement is Romanticism or the post-enlightenment Romantics.
