Introduction: Assessment of Achievement of Purpose
The central purpose and the theme of the anthology is to represent the effects of living an unfulfilled life. At the time of writing this report, the bulk of the poetry has been completed and so far, the narrative of the poems in their entirety, as well as each individual poem, fulfil this purpose.
The anthology targets two very different demographics and as such, the concept and purpose are two-fold. For young adults the poems act as a cautionary tale against going down a path that leaves one unfulfilled, whether this is a result of the direction one is going in or the vices that

The resolution I came to was that I needed to work harder during quieter times, so that I could comfortably place less emphasis on the major work during assessment periods, without falling behind. Moreover, I am determined to make much better use of our class time, as I have found these periods really beneficial for writing and asking for advice and feedback. (185)
Impact and Usefulness of the Investigative Process
The investigative process has been essential in the development of my writing. My investigation included reading a wide array of poetry and literature, and reading about form and meter. This has given me great insight into both the technical and the creative aspects of poetry. A particular book, titled Meter and Meaning (Carper and Attridge, 2007) was extremely beneficial in guiding me through poetic beats, for example:
“We won't talk of stress we won't talk of stress”
This shows how by placing stress on different words, through poetic beat, places emphasis on different ideas. I applied this to my own

In the first poem ‘Morning’ there are elements of the final poem ‘Dawn’, emphasising the cyclical nature of the suite which is similar to Beckett’s play. The literary movements of neoclassicism and romanticism, and their differences are personified in the struggle of the main character. This is evident in the sonnet ‘Midday’, where there is a clash between the rigid structure of the workplace environment and what the character wants to achieve: “I longed to create something more divine/but my ideas were rendered moot.” This helped provide a base for the story and accentuates the
The poems in this section are about the hardships of life and the problems that people have to face, yet there is an undertone of hope in them too, the problems may not be solved, but the poems show that there is a sense of faith in human resilience.
To some, Billy Collins’ The Rain in Portugal may seem to be a collection of random poems that have no correlation. At first sight, an individual may be confused while skimming through this book as to what the poems mean and how they all piece together. The poems in The Rain in Portugal all have one aspect in common; there is no rhyme scheme. Not a single poem rhymes with the next, let alone within itself. By doing this, Collins breaks the normality of basic poem writing—lines having to rhyme with one another—and explores his own take on free verse writing, which leaves the audience to form their own interpretation of the work. Majority of the poems within the book correlate with the speaker either reminiscing back in time, getting lost in the thought of the present, or predicting events of the future, which somehow include his reoccurring feeling of loneliness. Though this book has three different sections, each with its own collection of poems, the theme of loneliness is inserted within each section with one or two poems solely focusing on this topic. As a whole, this book provokes the audience to think and examine more in depth what Collins is attempting to portray through his seemingly simplistic writing.
The reflection of each poet's childhood is displayed within these lines helping to build a tone for the memories of each narrator.
To demonstrate the level of investigation, review, evaluation, and actions our Department takes when an officer involved shooting occurs, an overview of the process is provided below:
The conceptual basis underpinning The Diurnal World is a tri-fold representation of the idea of fulfilment. Firstly, the suite displays what leads to a lack of contentment through its representation of the clash between rigidity and creativity. Secondly, it describes the search for satisfaction by showing how the protagonist tries to find freedom through both creative outlets and negative vices. Finally, the poems reveal how one’s attempts to find fulfilment, if misplaced, simply perpetuate the lack of fulfilment. Therefore, the unfulfilled life, as represented within the suite, is described as the protagonist’s failure to do what he truly desires and how his search for freedom through vices does not bring lasting satisfaction.
Part of the preparation for the court case would happen throughout the entire investigation starting at the first day. As the team collected evidence, they documented the entire process in the document custody forms which created the chain of custody of each piece. This form is maintained throughout the process to prove that the evidence was properly handled and preserved (Nelson et al., 2015). The investigators also documented their investigational processes when analyzing the evidence. This would allow the team to retrace their steps and replicate their investigation if required (Nelson et al., 2015).
It shows the various effects that a postponed dream may make happen. To further examine the poem, connections will be drawn, figurative language will be analysed, and close reading will be applied. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
A presumptive is a test that is used to establish what type of body tissue or fluid is present at a crime scene. Therefore, it can be used to find serology evidence which consist of blood, semen or saliva. Furthermore, it can narrow down the possibilities of who was on the scene as well as what test is needed. It can also cover a large area; find evidence that is not visible to the naked eye because it could be blood, semen or saliva. Therefore, when it comes to testing blood at a crime scene there are three different test that can be used to test it such as a phenolphthalein test, luminol test and alternate light sources. Now a phenolphthalein test also known as the Kastle Meyer test can be used at a scene to test for blood because if there is blood present it will react to the heme molecules in the blood and give off a pink color. A luminol test is used to get a reaction by using a light that results in the finding of oxidizing agents such as blood by catalyzing the oxidation by using hydrogen peroxide in a basic solution. However, this test has been known to give false results because of other chemical presents. The next one is alternative light which is the use of an ultraviolet light in order to make whatever fluid that is present
In the poems “The Wanderer” and “The Dream of the Rood,” anonymous authors give way to the idea that an Almighty God will solve every problem a person has by doing two things: 1) drawing upon the memories of a warrior who has lost everything near and dear to him due to war, and 2) entering the dream of a man who has been exiled and isolated. Each piece takes its reader through the trials and tribulations that one may not relate to in this era, yet the reader is still there alongside the character wanting them to find peace with their world and themselves. Initially, it is believed that the characters will overcome their hardships and achieve the happiness they seek. However, as the reader delves deeper into the character’s story, there is an overwhelming sense of incompleteness. What actually happens at the end of each piece is not written in stone - telling us the story is not whole - nor has a conclusion been reached. The intrapersonal thoughts being shared with the reader reveal the obstacles that keep an overall wholeness from occurring.
This poem is lyrical as it is expressing the writer’s emotions about his hardships in life, but also didactic as it teaches you to forge your own path in life. This poem follows a ABAB rhyme pattern, and has four stanzas which includes four quatrains. The first stanza indicates the difficulty in life and thanks thegods for the strength they’ve given him. The second stanza tells us of this soul who has never complained even when things are of misfortune, and would rather endure than to lose pride. The third stanza describes this threatening world we live in, and
The messages and/or themes of Koyczan and Blake’s poems both share very personal and emotional meanings.
The purpose of this research paper is to introduce William Blake and give a brief background information about his life. In addition, this research paper will also provide: An analysis of two different poems wrote by William Blake, the message of both poems, how his life might have influenced his poems, and which other factors influenced him to write these poems.
The followings are the poem which has been added with personal interpretations and the further analysis.
Arsene’s rather detached attitude towards the newcomer, his tendency to wander off in the middle of his lecture-like dissertation, his use of mythological references and of apparently off-topic anecdotes – all these elements seem to echo a certain joycean style, at least seen through the perception of Beckett. In fact, the stylistic features of this almost thirty pages long-‘short statement’ are almost fully beckettian (the thick use of punctuation, the rapid, anguishing rhythm, even if still influenced by Modernism, seems already to be quite personal), the tone and the spirit of the monologue are at least influenced by the typical joycean inexhaustible vitalism and interest towards both the minimum detail and the wide-spreading philosophical discourse, though always filtered by Joyce’s thick ironic
Paths we walk on define our lives. In reality, no path is well-footed or without obstacles, even if it seems so from outsider perspective. In literature, especially in poetry, what is written as a path may not be one in the most literal sense, but a metaphor for or an allegory to something not within grasp of the material world. To compare two pieces from different periods by different authors means not just to compare different styles and themes embedded in them, but different paths the authors, and by extension their characters, take. Moreover, how two different paths in entirely different contexts may, upon closer reading, seem as one path treated differently, becoming what it is because of the actions someone took.
