Life On Mars By Pablo Nersa Analysis

Cummings and Pablo Neruda present the theme of their poems by having their two speakers addressing the women they love. The two speakers cope with the idea of prospective change in two completely different ways: Cummings’s speaker faces the end of his relationship as a situation that hurts him but in the end he accepts it, while Neruda’s speaker doesn’t care about his lover’s past as the only thing he wants is to make a couple with her. Thus, there are both similarities and differences in the poetic devices used in the two poems, while the tone of the speakers’ voice differs too, as in the first poem is sad and melancholic whereas in the second poem is confident and

Shakespeare and Neruda’s poem are obviously known to be sonnets, however they don’t both share the same structure; Shakespeare’s is of course a Shakespearean sonnet containing fourteen lines and has a particular rhyme scheme (ababcdcdefefgg), but Neruda’s sonnet doesn’t follow Shakespeare’s or the traditional Italian sonnet. Rather, Neruda’s sonnet does indeed contain fourteen lines, but most follows the free verse sonnet structure, since there is no rhyme scheme. Yet, likewise, both sonnets do present a problem in the first verses and then develop towards a solution. In the following, on Neruda’s lines, “My ugly…My beauty…Ugly:…Beauty:..” the speaker starts acknowledging his beloved that he is proud she is his for him to say “my”, but as the

Neruda express his thanks for thanks in many ways, and one way was figurative language. The speaker used a lot of powerful figurative language to get his point across. In my opinion, the strongest use of figurative language is one that hits you right in the first stanza. It states, “Thanks to thanks, / word / that melts / iron and snow.” This personification means that saying “thanks” can break through the toughest and harshest of situations (the iron) and the smallest, softest of situations (the snow). Another use of figurative language can be found in lines 9-14, where it states, “Thanks / makes the rounds / from one pair of lips to another, / soft as a bright / feather / and sweet as a petal of sugar.” First off, personification is used when the speaker says “makes the rounds from one pair

The tone is as different as it can be in each poem, but in both works, it is a device

These stanzas also illustrate the importance of time. Neruda states “if little by little you stop loving me/ I shall stop loving you little by little.” The repetition is used to show that his feelings will mirror the one he loves. The use of a periodic sentence creates suspense and accents the gravity of his lovers actions. The next stanza uses “suddenly” and “already” similarly. When taken together these two stanzas show the mirroring of his feelings in an abrupt cessation as well as a gradual distancing. If they don’t love him, he doesn’t love them, and thus the relationship ends. Neruda uses “on that day,/ at that hour,” to make it clear that the exact moment he is forgotten, his lover will be forgotten as well, assenting that when in love, the feelings felt toward oneself should be reciprocated, for if the attachment can be neglected, the relationship isn’t what it should be.

In the romantic era, British authors and poets focused on nature and its influence. Two of those poets, Charlotte Smith and William Wordsworth, wrote many pieces on the beauty of nature and their personal experiences with the beaches of England. In “Far on the sands” and “It is a beauteous evening,” Smith and Wordsworth describe their respective experiences on the shore at sunset. Smith uses tone and theme to convey her feelings of despair and isolation. Wordsworth utilizes various religious images to communicate his awe in the face of the natural world. While the sonnets share a setting and the topics of nature and tranquility, Smith and Wordsworth have different focuses which achieve different effects on the reader.

When the waves stop taking the lives of those innocent people, I will come. She couldn't write anything else, she, Sabina Mars, was speechless. She was writing a letter concerning the whereabouts of her to her family, who sent her to Germany to earn money for the family. Her parents thought it would be best for her to go because she is well with horses and it would be easy for her to find work. But she had not found any work, not yet anyway, but she could not tell her family that, all their hopes were on her shoulders and she was determined not to let them down.

In his poem “Lovely One” Neruda does a great job in expressing great emotions. The poem carries feeling he holds for a woman. His poem also describes a woman he is in love with. A woman who has stolen his heart, because he describes her

Due to his relationship with ego, the Egoist at first ignores actuality. Only upon harmonizing with nature, and subsequently renouncing the personal ego, can he enjoy life. Neruda introduces The Egoist’s narrator with the passionate lamentation, “O heart lost / inside me, in this man’s essence, / what bountiful change inhabits you!” (22-24). Neruda introducing a persona and first-person perspective establishes a shift for the poem; it now contemplates the self’s effects on a personal rather than universal level. Although one might expect losing their separateness to traumatize, Neruda once again subverts expectations by expressing the loss’ beauty as bountiful change. Moreover, Neruda’s enjambment separates this passage into three distinct sections: the cause, the ego’s death, and its liberating effects. Before losing his self, the Egoist embodied “the culprit / who has fled or turned himself in” (25-26). The Egoist’s past highlights the illusory self’s ultimate folly; the inevitable self-absorption accompanying it. Some, like the Egoist, spend their entire lives trying to inflate their egos via fruitless activities like crime, believing they will

In today’s modern view, poetry has become more than just paragraphs that rhyme at the end of each sentence. If the reader has an open mind and the ability to read in between the lines, they discover more than they have bargained for. Some poems might have stories of suffering or abuse, while others contain happy times and great joy. Regardless of what the poems contains, all poems display an expression. That very moment when the writer begins his mental journey with that pen and paper is where all feelings are let out. As poetry is continues to be written, the reader begins to see patterns within each poem. On the other hand, poems have nothing at all in common with one another. A good example of this is in two poems by a famous writer by

In Jose’s attempts to push Pablo away from poetry it inevitably lead to Neruda’s rebellious, out-spoken poetry style. Other major life events that shaped Neruda being a “Poet

Did NASA's now dead Spirit rover find evidence of life on Mars before it got stuck in a sand trap and confirmed lost by NASA in 2010? Possibly, say two geoscientists who have found a location on Earth shaped by microbes that closely resembles a particular area on Mars that was scrutinized by the rover in 2007. The focus is a curious cluster of finger-like silica nodules that were imaged by Spirit near the so-called "Home Plate" area in Columbia Hills in Gusev Crater in April 2007. The rover operated in the location for over five years, studying the Martian geology and atmospheric phenomena. Spirit's sister rover, Opportunity,continues to explore the Red Planet nearly 13 years after landing.

The poem begins with two lines which are repeated throughout the poem which convey what the narrator is thinking, they represent the voice in

Neruda begins his sonnet in a most unusual manner. He states in the first few lines ways in which he does not love his companion. He does not love her as if she were “the salt-rose, topaz, or arrow of

The first way I noticed that Pablo Neruda uses form to establish a grief-filled tone in his poem is by repetition, specifically, of the word “night”. The word is present through his entire work. Nights are linked to darkness, and darkness is neurologically linked to depression. In 2007, some neuroscientists at the University of Pennsylvania conducted a study with rats which concluded that light deprivation produces depression in rats. So it is scientifically correct to say that this repeated darkness adds to the grief-filled tone. His first word in both the title and line 1 of the poem is “Tonight” (1) which derives from the word night. After this,
