Home Burial

Some of the main topics in a large number of poems are life, death, war and love. The two poems Men in Green and Beach Burial have a similar topic of war and its effects on people. David Campbells Men in Green is about a group of Australian soldiers experiencing war in Papua New Guinea while Kenneth Slessor's Beach Burial is about the loss of life through war regardless of what side you are fighting for. Men in Green's form is a dramatic monologue whereas the structure of Beach Burial is an elegy. Similes are used frequently in Men in Green and Beach Burial regularly uses onomatopoeia and the language gets harsher as the poem goes on. Even though these two poems are both about war, there are many differences including the atmosphere, use of

The father’s way of dealing with his inner issues is reflected by the way he distracts himself with hobbies of the women he loves. This illustrates how a sudden tragedy can influence someone’s lifestyle. In fact, before his first wife passed away he showed a lot of interest in art and when she died he was lost and devastated ,” (…) after mom died, my sister and I used to worry about his living alone. And he was lonely.We knew that after putting in his usual twelve-hours workday, he would return to the empty house (...) then read medical journals until it was time to go to sleep.”(16). This implies that

Cremation and burial services are among the most common choices for American post-mortem body disposal (NFDA, 2017). Though the population of the United States is continuing to grow, observing increases in funeral rates, the number of active funeral homes has significantly decreased within the past ten years (NFDA, 2017). This could be due to the extreme shift in American practices, from a traditionally religious population to a more environmentally aware and loosely religious society (Fleming, Farquhar, Brayne, Barclay, 2016; Pew Research Center, 2015). Because of the general shifts in the prioritization of traditional practice, funeral homes should be better equipped -especially in cremation services- to suit the needs of the evolving disposal preferences of all demographics through observation of holistic

Similarly, in The Wife’s Lament, she mourns for her husband who became separated with her because of exile. She also forces herself to endure the pain –“If ever anyone should feel anguish, harsh pain at heart, she should put on a happy appearance while enduring endless sorrow…” (line 42-45). She stated: “ A happy pair we had promised each other, that death alone would ever divide us, and nothing else” (line 21-23), but “All that is changed; our nearness once is now as though it never had

The mother's road to finding closure over her son's death is much longer than her husband's. Her feelings throughout the poem are of

Conversely, the rest of the poem, “ If ought she missed in her new day, of amplitude, or awe –or first prospective – or the gold in using wear away, It lay unmentioned – as the sea develop pearl, and weed, but to himself – be known the fathoms they abide—“ the dictionary refers to “amplitude” as an extreme or phenomenon and the word “awe” as wonder, and as it refers to “prospective” as something expected to come about, like being a future mother. The words helped understand the woman’s losses and gains of marriage. Nevertheless, normal progress of a typical wife seen after a length of time.

In "A Sorrowful Woman" the wife is depressed with her life, so much so, "The sight of them made her so sad and sick she did not want to see them ever again"(p.1). This wife and mother has come to detest her life, the sight of her family,

“Divorce”, hinges on a metaphor that relates to this couple as concerned with flatware. The two verses, describe both the association of the two people, for example the two lines together represents their marriage and the two verses apart represent separation, it represents the couple going through a divorce. The second line “now tined forks/” enjambs onto the second section which is the third line. “Across a granite table,” making the reader feel the emotional and real gap between the forks/people and leaving them to wait on the hardness and coldness of the granite. He even went as far as to split the entire poem in two to instill the impression of separation. The shortness of the poem is equivocalness. It implies the short speech and quietness that can live between a divorcing couple as well as the decrease of them talking to one another. They now only speak to each other through their lawyers.

The next couple of lines portray the idea that it is only through the mother that the father and son are united. In life, her presence and assurances that they are alike linked them, and once she is gone, there is little to bring them together except their shared grief, which as they are so emotionally divided they find impossible to communicate.

Shabo and Shukumar gives up everything they build after the death of the baby the role of house was reverse, Shabo became independent and driven, while Shukumar became passive and domestic. Until the temporary of the electricity which brings them back to normal. The only thing that keeps them coming back was the food. Each night Shukumar would cook as a reminder of what Shabo uses to do. Food represent love, still which was not enough to keep them together. In the end, alienation and lack of communication destroy their marriage.

In the end, a lesson that can be learned from the poem and song is that no matter what, in an affair the reward is never worth the stress that comes with

In several lines Frost carefully chooses loaded language that doubles as alliteration to further the poetic mastery in the poem and appeal to the reader. In addition to repeating the word “whispered” (3) on several occasions, Frost crafts a line with another word “well” in that same line to further appeal to the reader. Another example of Frost’s use of alliteration occurs later in the work, “To the earnest love that laid” (10). The words “love” (10) and “laid” (10) both appeal to the emotions of the reader and the alliteration in the line makes for a smooth and flowing reading of the

In both pieces she wishes to be detached from love and responsibility, yet as the poem progresses, she has a change of heart, almost an epiphany.

He describes the love he feels towards her and her love towards him. He gets more excited and happy as the poem goes on. “She’ll run upstairs through the decaying porch burning with love and happiness." (453, Yevtushenko). Although things have changed and gotten old, she still burns with love at the idea of seeing him. He continues on, getting more heartfelt and emotional. He describes what happens when they finally embraced. “She’ll run dripping upstairs, she won’t knock, will take my head in her hands.” (453, Yevtushenko). His lover didn’t even bother covering herself from the rain when she ran in because she was too excited to see him after so long. He explains that only she understands him. He does not worry about how much he has changed over the years, he believes that even if they had changed, they would still love each other regardless. “Will understand my fears, observe my changes.” (453, Yevtushenko). He has absolute love and trust in her, and rests his entire entity with
