Any little event that occurs the speaker reads it as a negative occurrence that adds to his ever growing misery. For Example, when the speaker says “Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.” The speaker hears a knock on the door and opens it to see that there is no one there. Instead of going back to sleep he demonstrates his negative attitude by

In the book, A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park, the tone of an excerpt in chapter nine is wretched. In the excerpt, Salva is seen to be walking through very hot land with almost no helpful resources, like water. This excerpt discusses Salva’s problems, like how it felt like he was walking forever. He cannot stand the climate of the area he is walking in, because the weather is scorching hot. The writing states that, “His lips became cracked and parched.”, showing that he is feeling uncomfortable in the weather, and he is hurting physically.

It can also serve a purpose as being a way to figure out a way to change something in the life they have for the better or make them realize the many things in their life that is worth appreciating. A few of this is shown in the poem Nameless Pain by Elizabeth Drew Barstow Stoddard written in 1895 which shows the idea of her wishing for a better life, but then settles with the idea that a for fulfilling life than she has is out of reach. This is all shown in the rhyme scheme couplet with rhyming at the end of each line and it also uses pathos to appeal to emotion and this engages the reader into the deeper meaning of the poem. The idea of feminism used in the poem is just one of the many deeper meanings you can find in the poem.The feminism used shows that the speaker feels powerless and worthless. This was shown throughout the poem and once the poem is over both the speaker and reader are left with the thought that the wish and hope for a better life is just a wish because of the oppression that is throughout the society during the time period in which the poem was

In 1837, a wealthy Scottish nobleman named Sir William Drummond Stewart took Alfred Jacob Miller on his outing to the Rockies. Stewart had previously been to the mountains in 1833. But due to the failing health of his brother, Stewart thought that his journey into the American West might be his last. So he hired Miller to pictorially record the journey. Hence, Miller became the first artist to cross the continental divide at south past and thus, the first artist to portray the Rocky Mountains in great detail. Stewart and Miller started out their journey from St. Louis and went across the plains of Nebraska along the Platt River. [1] Stewart had hired Miller to paint pictures of their daily lives. However, Miller being a son of a prosperous farmer and merchant was not accustomed to the adversities of the journey and he quite often complained to Stewart about the hardships of the trail. They were travelling 20-30 miles a day on their saddle so it was impossible for Miller to draw while travelling. So, instead Miller began to sketch images with either pen or pencil during the noon hours when they would have their large meal, as it required the least amount of time to dry before they started heading towards their next stop. Despite the hardship of the journey he completed over 200 field sketches in both pencil and watercolor. Through the work of Miller, America got to see its untouched beautiful wilderness composed of vast mountain ranges and winding rivers.

In the end, if it be because of a lack of communication, for throughout the poem she refers to how difficult it was to speak to her own father, or the simple fact of how mentally unhealthy it is to marry one so like her father, the relationship had drained life out of her.

Slowly throughout the poem, certain stanzas and phrases provide insight as to what her struggles are. In the fifth and sixth stanza, the speaker explains:
