I Carry Your Heart With Me Literary Devices

cummings. The speaker of this poem carries the heart of his love as well, though his feelings about doing so are very different than that of how Jimmy Cross feels.

The personification in this quote is “love to be able to call out to love,” because love is an emotion, not a living or physical being, therefore it is unable to talk. This is an effective use of personification, because these words stay with the reader, and also have the effect of innocence from the eleven-year old narrator. “And then they were swallowed by the darkness. ”~Nathan

Sumer Muqbil June 1, 2018 Chapters 3-5 Text Evidence Analysis Effect “Janie pulled back a long time because he did not represent sun-up and pollen and blooming trees, but he spoke for far horizon. He spoke for change and chance” (Zora Neale Hurston 29). The characters involved in this are Janie and Joe Starks.

The poem “for an Inked Daughter by Jane Wheeler” describes in vivid detail how much she dislikes her daughters phase but will always love her. “i carry your heart with me by” E. E. Cummings was Published in 1952 the poem is about the fear he holds of losing his love, but no matter what, he will always carry his beloved’s heart wherever he goes. While both poems are interesting and are about unconditional love, they use different diction, form, and literary devices describing their feelings towards their treasured person.

It creates a mood that readers can understand. Williams does a wonderful job contrasting death and life; his use of “attiring” and “disattiring” basically narrates how trees lose their leaves, leaving them “clothless”, but then the branches are preparing for what’s to come--their rebirth in the coming season. The liquid moon makes me think that he’s trying to create irony; the moon is liquid, as if melted, even though it’s winter time and everything is supposed to be frozen. The irony is subtle, yet very impactful when you notice it. Perhaps the long branches represent the strength of the trees despite the harsh environment around them. The buds can be seen as children being prepared by their parents for what’s to come, possible teaching them what to do and what not to do so that they can survive the winter and bloom in the spring. Like letting a child go off to college after years of care so that they can become their own person. The “wise trees” have experience, an experience that they have to share with their “buds”. The wise stand sleeping in the cold to take their last breath and let their children take their places. This poem is very meaningful because Williams creates a very important similarity between the trees and humans. Readers can relate because most parents go through the stage of letting their children go and letting them continue what they

Bryant writes, “Go forth, under the open sky, and list / To Nature’s teaching, while from all around‒ / Earth and her waters, and the depths of air‒ / Comes a still voice” (14-17). This quote refers back to the basic belief of the goodness of the natural world in this: while one has their highs and lows of life, nature will always be there to provide a “still voice.” At the same time, it motivates the reader to go beyond his or her own senses. Bryan also expresses the belief that all nature is important through lines 29-30 when he says that “The oak / Shall send his roots abroad, and pierce thy mold.” Before these lines, the author elaborated on the being of a corpse in the ground, but he brings back its contribution to the rest of nature with this

“Love Poem” by John Frederick Nims is an excellent of example of an author using many types of literary terms to emphasize his theme of a love that is imperfect yet filled with acceptance. In, this poem Nims uses assonance, metaphor, and imagery to support his theme of “Imperfect, yet realistic love”.

An example of beauty is seen through the depiction of Amber Rooms and the mirror halls; the representation of this beauty evokes the reader to enable an understanding of James comparison with something of true beauty compared to something plain and lifeless. An example of a fragile resemblance to life is an innocent, vulnerable plant such as the Japanese maple, needs beauty in order for the plant to flourish. James reflects on a vulnerable plant in his poem ‘so much sweet beauty as when fine rain falls on that small tree’. James expresses his chemotherapy battle through words, which becomes a key element in creating emotion for the poem. An example is in the forth stanza ’come a autumn and its leaves will turn to flame, what must I do’, this small extract from the poem builds a relationship with his chemotherapy and a tree given to him by his daughter, the tree resembles life and the element flourishing over time through struggle or neglect and even resemble success. The tree can be referred to as a reflection of James’ life where he had struggles, might have neglected people close to him, but most of all there was success under all the struggles he

Many people believe that this mimics Whitman's life. Living in a life of social separation much of the time, he still managed to succeed not only with his writing, but also in life itself. However, in line five Whitman goes on to say that he wonders how the tree could grow such joyous leaves while being alone. He himself says that he could not survive if put in the same situation. Whitman did however lead a joyous and happy life in many peoples opinion, even though he did not enjoy the social life many other had during his lifetime. His own opinion of himself not being lonely may be frayed in order to spare the image he proposes to the public in his writings. The next few lines are interesting because of the way they could possible spell out Whitman's life. In the poem, he breaks of a twig, wraps some moss around it, and takes it to he room and places it in plain view. This may parallel his life by way of his memory. The twig may represent pieces of his memory that were enjoyable to him. He then takes the twig and places it in his room signifying that he wants to be able to constantly see those fond memories. Again Whitman replies by saying he did not do this to remind him of his friends, but in reality he may have just said this to help keep a good report with his readers about his lifestyle.

Through the use of poetic devices such as repetition or alliteration, the author originally describes what love is not capable of providing and defines love as unnecessary but by the end of the poem, the author reveals that love has some value.

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.

I believe that as poetry was shared and developed over time, they were mostly viewed as a way to express love or feelings for significant others. In today’s social media many people use quotes or lines from poetry to express how they feel for their loved one. Poetry used to be a way to express all types of emotion, no matter if it was the good or the bad, but now it seems that people are only focusing on one emotion or aspect, which is relationship love. Although it is true that there is no wrong way to interpret or express what we think these hidden messages mean, there is more than one way to think. Not all of these significant messages deal with romantic feelings, they also express true inner feelings that everyone has and can connect with on some level.

This is significant because it emphasizes the melancholy and mournfulness that he depicts with imagery in the first stanza. Later on in the second stanza, he author describes the tree the narrator would have planted as a “green sapling rising among the twisted apple boughs”. The author uses visual color imagery of the color green to describe the sapling in order to emphasize just how young the newborn was when he died. Later on in the poem, the narrator speaks of himself and his brothers kneeling in front of the newly plated tree. The fact that they are kneeling represents respect for the deceased. When the narrator mentions that the weather is cold it is a reference back to the first stanza when he says “of an old year coming to an end”. Later on in the third stanza the author writes “all that remains above earth of a first born son” which means that the deceased child has been buried. They also compare the child to the size of “a few stray atoms” to emphasize that he was an infant. All of these symbols and comparisons to are significant because they are tied to the central assertion of remembrance and honoring of the dead with the family and rebirth.

The first literary element that the poem used was personification. The way it was used because the author of the story wrote that “Proving nature’s law is wrong it learned to walk without having feet.”That can’t be possible for a plant to start walking. What this line in the poem was trying to say was that you can get through anything even when you don’t have the things that you need in order to accomplish them and get through it. The theme that this is trying to show us is courage.

Although this is a short poem, there are so many different meanings that can come from the piece. With different literary poetic devices such as similes, imagery, and symbolism different people take away different things from the poem. One of my classmates saw it as an extended metaphor after searching for a deeper connection with the author. After some research on the author, we came to learn that the
