I Love Figurative Language

Once I was able to associate these words to emotions and issues present in everyday life, the poem started to make me feel sad. I began thinking about all of the emotions and feelings that everyone hides as they go about life. For example, how the waitress I see once a week may have an eating disorder, or how the singer I look up to just lost her son, or the businessman who got laid off today. Everyone has their own personal battle that they carry everywhere, at any given moment. This explains why the setting is so plain, since the internal struggles people face affect them even at a bus stop. While each person waits, the waitress may be thinking about how much skinnier the person next to her is. The singer could be remembering when she held her baby. And the business man could be planning how to break the news to his wife. No matter how small, everyone experiences a type of trauma or bad experience, and this poem seemed to show what happens when these emotions become bottled up. No one can help each other because they are so stuck within their own issues. The difficulty helping others reminded me of the idea of having to take care of yourself before being able to take care of others.

The article “From Superhero to real –life hero encouraging healthy play” by Shelley Butler and Deb Kratz is a very interesting article that made me reflect and change my views about the fact that superheroes and monster play can be seen in a negative perspective and considered violent play. Although the fact that I used it as an example for the uninvolved or overly directive in which the teacher ignores the children during play, it does not have anything to do with the idea that superheroes or monster play can be seen as a negative influence in children’s play. For the play itself to be seen as positive, the teacher should have either one of the roles as an onlooker, stage manager, co-player or player leader. I would prefer the teacher having

Like in “The Black Cat” it seems as if the personality of the husband has turned has turned to a state of paranoia that he blames on the cat. In result his actions were maloevent. All the texts can relate by becoming dreary in some form of depression, in which is inhospitible for the characters in the story. When the characters take actions that each have looked as though they have lost their true sense of sanity. In “A Rose For Emily” despair has sabotaged her life with the death of her father. In every text there seems to be some bleak example of evil, sadness, and despair. Each story is rather cynical and dry, leaving the reader to concur that the authors are trying to convey a message to show the reader the end result of such actions like the ones each character had done in each story and where it put them. In pure misery, hopeless, and almost as if the sadness tormenting them was necessary. We should be skeptic of big actions and process where they can put us in the future, if they will truly help us, or kill our happiness

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.

In the beginning of the Poem, she is very uncomfortable with her new husband and was very unhappy with him. As their time together got longer she realized she was in love with him. While she was married to him she learned to be happier and laugh more. Once he left for his long journey through the Gorges of Ch'u-T'ang, she was heart broken. There are many similarities between the girl in the poem and more modern day girls. Their similarities start with how both of them will be angry and be uncomfortable with their husbands that they were forced to marry. Another similarity is how eventually they will learn to love their husbands and will miss them when they're gone. Some evidence that shows me that she is happier with him is when the poem says

Secondly, the author uses word choice to show the speakers overall sorrow. Throughout the whole poem there are word scattered everywhere that describe the general emotion of sorrow, some of those word being “restless” (19), “torment”, and “troubled” (4). These words instantly give the connotation of feelings like despair and sadness. The speaker also uses literary elements such as simile to express sorrow, like when she says “These troubles of the heart/ are like unwashed clothes” (27, 28). Everyday people usually do not pay much mind to unwashed clothes, and usually look at it as something unimportant or irrelevant. When the speaker compares her internal troubles to something that holds little importance to everyday life and is also seen as unpleasant, the readers really get a look into the sorrow and sadness that the speaker is truly feeling. The speaker also uses word choice to help show the readers the true intensity of what she is going through.

One of the most prominent ways that the author supports her theme is through true, logical statements that prove love is not all that one needs to survive. An example of this is in line 5, where she says, “Love cannot fill the thickening lung with breath.” She then goes on to say, in lines 3 and 4, “Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink / And rise and sink and rise and sink again.” These lines say that love is

The poets personal suffering, use of poetic devices, tone and style all contribute in expressing the theme. As a whole, the poem can be translated into many different points of view. You can say that the beauty of this poems in the way it relates to every individual person and touches him.

This quote is told by viola or in other words cesario and it is being told to the duke. this is being told to him to tell the truth about viola identity and gender. there is no figurative language used. it brings back memories of the beginning of the play which is flashback. this makes the reader think of the first act again and the whole story. they is the falling action that occurs after the climax. the setting is located by the duke's house when viola is giving her speech of what happened after her brother finally showed up from being dead. the message that these lines convey to the reader is to never give up and you will find the answer. “they do not want to to succeed.” viola was supposed to be cesario a uniq that serves the duke.

The idea of a lifetime goal is a difficult concept for me. I used to believe that my goal was to become a successful lawyer like the one’s on crime shows. But what is “successful”? And what happens when I do become a lawyer? Is it just, “Done. Lifetime made.”? No, a lifetime goal is so much more than that. It’s something that I am trying and will probably never stop trying to piece together.

The realization that the speaker has in this poem is that he once loved a woman, but he no longer does. “The night wind revolves in the sky and sings,” (Line 5) includes personification of nature and Earth. The irony comes when the world “revolve” is put into perspective. This repetitive poem is solely circular as it views the same patterns of topic and emotion several times. This also helps to set the melancholy tone that the speaker possesses throughout the entire piece, adding to the unfeminist tone as well.

This theme is brought through the song by showing multiple literary devices. Such as “I'm the one at sail, I’m the master of my sea”. This metaphor shows the realization and empowerment that oneself can give in a depressing situation. This simile “Falling like ashes to the ground, Hoping my feelings they would drown” compares his feeling of sadness and depression to ashes, and wanting them to drown and vanish, from his life. This line, “All the hate that you’ve heard has turned your spirit to a dove” explains how all of the hate that he has experienced and gone through has turned his feelings around, and decided to look on the bright side of things. Personally I think this is a great

This poem shows how nature changes your mood from sadness to a more relaxed and happy mood. There is a linde full of personification in the poem that shows this, “the sun gives me a much needed hug”. This line shows how when the narrator goes outside she starts feeling better because of the warm sun. The rhyme scheme in this poem helps bring out happiness, the lines “my worries melt away as the sun hits my face/I stayed outside and enjoyed the

The poem Echo is about a voice speaking to her lover to come back within her eyes. Throughout the entire work, there is a variety of figurative language, imagery, and symbolism utilized by Rossetti to help the reader understand the greatest desire for her lost lover to return.

This contrasts sharply to the attitudes portrayed in ‘A kind of love some say’. The last stanza of the poem shows the persona talking about emotional pain, ‘Sadists will not learn that Love, by nature, exacts a pain, Unequalled on the rack. This shows us that the emotional pain of love can be worse than the actual physical pain described in the poem. This shows the
