How Is Personification Used In Stairway To Heaven

This in an important factor in this poem because it not only links to the concept of journey but reality, how sometimes to be accepted you have to be wealthy.

As Wendy Martin says “the poem leaves the reader with painful impression of a woman in her mid-fifties, who having lost her domestic comforts is left to struggle with despair. Although her loss is mitigated by the promise of the greater rewards of heaven, the experience is deeply tragic.” (75)

This shows the love that her mother had and how she was always caring for her child. The coffin and the number “82” symbolises the age that mother was upon her death, shown in lines 21 and 22 which state “You left the world so, having lived nearly thirty thousand days”, the daughter wanted her mother to live a longer life, which is why she says “I prayed you would live to see Halley’s comment a second time.” on lines 17 and 18. The last image of the hands clasped together symbolises the strength of their relationship and strong bond between mother and daughter.The two photos of the women crying and the quote “After all this time… I still miss you every day” show that although the mother has died the strong bond that exists between a mother and her daughter will never die and that she still remains very much alive in her daughters memory. Lines 25, 26 and 27 “At our last meeting I closed the ward door of heavy glass between us…”, symbolises the end of their time together on earth and this was the last time she saw her mother

In the third stanza, the diction of “heaven” and “noble” allows the speaker to craft an image of an almost godlike juggler. This view of the juggler creates the tone of amazement and ardent which breaks through the previous gloomy description of the earth in the first stanza which “falls/ So in our hearts from brilliance” (lines 3-4). This reveals that the world the juggler has made, unlike the earth which the speaker doesn’t appear to have fond feelings of, is a joyful and light-hearted place that the speaker is easily captivated by. As the juggler “reels that heaven in” (line 16), creates an atmosphere of an almost unearthly experience. This description of the juggler as a master of spiritual elements allows readers to view how the speaker's attitude is uplifted and enlightened.

In stanza six, we see the end of visiting hour, and the persona’s loss of control as he is overran with emotion. The phrase, “black figure in her white cave” creates an image of an intruder in her sanctuary. The black and white contrast suggests he is a shadow of his former self and also that he is trying to detach himself. The phrase, “clumsily rises” gives connotations of his state as he is physically affected by his feeling of loss. Furthermore, “swimming waves of a bell” is a metaphor which has connotations of water. This is used to illustrate that he is drowning in the realisation that she is dying. Finally, “fruitless fruits” is an oxymoron used to reinforce that there is no hope or going back, for her.

In the final stanza, he makes the reader sad as he assumes the inevitable will happen and she will die. He expresses this through metaphors such as a “black figure in her white cave”, which is a reference to the bright white hospital rooms and although he is the black figure he thinks she just sees a shadow which could be the grim reaper or even death himself, coming to end her journey. No one wants to deal with the sorrow of losing a loved one for good, as

There is also figurative language used in phrases such as “Having come from the clouds” and “tilting road”. This adds to the effect of imagery and emphasis on the journey to the sawmill town. It also helps to make the stanza more interesting to the reader.

Never mind it, for when your head’s bare, You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair” (line 6-8). Also in the fifth stanza Tom describes his dream. “Then naked and white, all their bags left behind, They rise upon clouds and sport in the wind; And the angel told Tom, if he’d be a good boy, He’d have God for his father, and never want joy” (line 21-24). He dreams that after chimney sweepers die they go on to see God and live happily. The children just have to pay the price on earth before they have happiness, but they were all very hopeful. However, the children’s mood changes completely in Songs of Experience. “And because I am happy and sing, They think they have done me no injury” (line 9-10). The children are becoming more and more bitter. All their hope is being lost overtime. Now the children don’t think they have a plan for the future. This lifestyle has had a major impact on their life. Being chimney sweepers, being tormented and having to endure terrible conditions.

The poem begins with the poet noticing the beauty around her, the fall colors as the sun sets “Their leaves and fruits seemed painted, but was true, / Of green, of red, of yellow, mixed hue;” (5-6). The poet immediately relates the effects of nature’s beauty to her own spiritual beliefs. She wonders that if nature here on Earth is so magnificent, then Heaven must be more wonderful than ever imagined. She then views a stately oak tree and

In order to occupy her child, the mother dresses her daughter up to go sing in the children’s choir at church in the fifth stanza. She brushes her hair, bathes her, and puts on her gloves and shoes. Randall appeals to the senses in this stanza; he uses a metaphor here to inform the reader a visual that the family is African American. She has “night-dark” hair and small brown hands. She is dressed in white and smells of sweet rose petals. The mother takes the girls mind off of the Freedom March and fixes it on the children’s choir. The tone is one of content. The sixth stanza is a

We have athletes all over the world, artists, celebrities, and 70% of these people are millionaires. Money motivates them, it’s either they use it to change the world in a great way or waste it all and re-gain the money. That’s just how human beings operate. In the story of “In La Riacanda, Peru, Searching for Beauty”, tells that gold has been fought for since the beginning. We all want riches and wealth. It’s a natural dream for everybody. In this world, we need money to sustain our daily needs and more money to satisfy us by getting what we want. In paragraph 16 of page 471, a quotation expresses that money is important and is not just a possession but a motivation as well. “Flocks of women in wide slats scramble up cliffs, carrying bags of ore, hoping to pound a flock of gold.” This tells that people will do everything for money no matter how much it

The money ebing the motive for mostly everything in life. Then in the third line of the refrain we see the word "she", hinting at soem type of stripper, or possible a "Pro". Next lines after are just a reassurance from the weeknd bascically saying, "Great job, keep on going" while recongnizing that what shes doing is a difficult task to master and stay ahead with.

No matter how many times you ask somebody to give you an interpretation of what the song Stairway to Heaven really perseveres, you will get a different answer every time. The song Stairway to Heaven was written by Led Zeppelin in 1971. Throughout all these years, still every time you ask an individual about their interpretation to the song, they will respond differently. The reason being because the songs represents many different values throughout it, but it is your choice to determine about how you choose to have an outlook on it.

Baym et al.’s (2012) gives us a poets writing that is entitled “Heaven.” Cathy Song is an Asian American poet who is the speaker in this first person poem. Song exemplifies the romantic spirit by evoking reminiscence and separation. In the poem, a woman who is disconnected from her Chinese heritage longs for her familial homeland that she has never seen. She is amused by her son’s notion that "when we die we’ll go to China." She expresses her disbelief of where she currently resides but wants to imagine that she is in China where her ancestors are from. This is seen in lines 12-15:

The main audience of the song stairway to heaven was not limited to any particular group or country. The creative diversity of this song seemed to have adopted a broad range of listeners from throughout the globe. The song was open to anyone and everyone, from people who strictly liked the new acoustical factors of the song that had not been prevalent in many song prior, to people who wanted to do some soul searching and analyze the lyrics to better understand themselves through interpretations without having to conform to strict definitions that society had pressed upon heaps of musical works prior and up to the release of this song. The take off of this song was a little shaky because of the new elements and components that Plant and Page added into the instrumentals of the song. All of these new unique parts required the listeners of this song to do some “getting used to”. Your ideal listener to this song is younger people who were trying to navigate their lives through a new system of beliefs and wanted to become detached from the concrete lifestyles of their previous generations. These people wanted to experiment and go beyond the confines of a sheltered routine life and experience life
