Poem By Villanelle

This is poem about a man going to another town to bring back bread for his family. The man’s name is Khunianupu and wanted to provide for his family. There are some things that happen in this article that are realities and some things that don’t happen anymore. To me I feel like the author agreed to the realities because there are some men in this world that are trying to provide and do things for their family and are still struggling to do so. Like Khunianupu he met some people along his journey. In real life you are going to meet people that will be a blessing to you and your family. This man named Fellah kept saying, “my good ways,” but he went to his ruler and said that Khunianupu was trespassing. Khunianupu

The emotion of pride is a reoccurring theme in Yolanda’s genius. Yolanda manifests the pride that she feels for her brother Andrew whom to her is a music genius. Andrew has the ability to listen to sounds and recreate them with his harmonica. Yolanda sees her brother in a different light than others. She knows that her brother is special and unique in his own ways. Andrew hears sounds in everything around him. He is able to recreate people’s emotions and feelings with a simple sound from his harmonica. The pride she feels makes her develop inner strength to show the world that her brother really is a music genius. The poem I wrote is the representation of how the people see Andrew and how Yolanda sees him. Yolanda knows that deep down inside

The young man in the poem loses his identity as he develops into the ruthless world of adulthood with its dehumanizing competition of ‘money-hungry, back-stabbing’ and ‘so-and-so.’ These exaggerated words and clichés

Remembering memories is preferred, rather than living in reality. In the poem, we witness a woman remembering her high school idol, and she decides in the end to not go and talk to him. It is evident that the woman in the poem prefers her memory rather than the view that reality is showing her, this is shown when the woman refuses to go and meet the “hero she had as a girl”, despite giving herself a realistic reason why she should go and greet him, “you think how easy it would be to walk right over and tap him on the shoulder[, and] say hello” but she doesn’t. She doesn’t go and greet him because her memory remembers him as someone amazing, and admirable, “taller than the boys in your own class[,] taller even than your brothers”; where height is a reflection of her admiration. But her hero is now “fat and balding”, and to go greet him now would warp her perspective of her hero, from someone to idolise, to someone pathetic. In the end, she chooses to just remember him just the way she wants to, rather than remembering him the way reality does, showing that memories are preferred over reality. The woman also chooses not to talk to him because of her personal desire to retain her views and opinions of not only how she sees her hero, but also how

David Bowie, David Robert Jones, Ziggy stardust, many names for one man known by many people. a man with a wonderful voice who went through many hardships and troubled times to get where he is. If you don't know much about him now you will soon. He went through a lot to get to where he is now. David Bowie's life is complicated yet beautiful and very interesting to learn about.

Interest is further maintained throughout the poem by the use of unique literary techniques. Unlike other poems, ‘Famous’ does not rhyme nor does it follow any specific structure. It does, however, correspond with the spontaneity of incorporating everyday objects by not following a set structure. Throughout the poem, sibilance, anaphora, parallelism and allusion have been incorporated to achieve a constant face paced movement throughout the initial seven stanzas of the poem. These stanzas reflect a constant change in setting, replicating the insightful thoughts of an everyday person throughout their day, passing insignificant objects yet subconsciously identifying their importance. This fast paced movement is maintained through the use of anaphora in lines one, two, five and seven. In conjunction with anaphora, personification is used to enhance the already vivid image

“This is the first test of a gentleman: his respect for those who can be of no possible value to him.”, is a statement made by William Lyon Phillips. To me, this statement means a true gentleman will be tested most when he is up against someone who matters the least to him. Maybe this statement insinuates a person or people who are hindering success. A man will be tempted to spout out disrespectful things to anyone who doesn't deserve it, but the truest gentleman can resist temptation.

Achieving greatness cannot only change a person’s lifestyle, but also they’re attitudes. So this goes hand in hand with fame causing corruption and laziness. Unquestionably keeping a humble outlook through the tides of fame is an accomplishment on its own. Lizbeth R. Jimenez is one of those types of people who always share a kind heart and along with her skills as a writer that should truly be prized.

The Courtier was significant not only to the lives of those in the Renaissance, but also to those in contemporary society. It is the hope of the general public for a person of success to maintain that air of natural ease, portraying a vibrant, kind personality to others. An ‘elite’ member of society should be educated, well spoken, and known for one’s endeavors. Similarly, the impression that success is earned through hard work pertained to Renaissance society as much as it does to the 21st

I read a really cool poem today called “Famous” that uses a variety of metaphors to make the readers broaden their view of fame. The poem is about how fame isn’t just how popular culture define famous, but rather, like many adjectives, is merely a matter of perception. The author, Naomi Shihab Nye, begins the poem with “The river is famous to a fish.” This simple, yet powerful phrase sets the tone for the rest of the poem. The river is where fish spends their lives, hence, the value of the river is what makes the it famous to fish. This line conveys that some of the smallest actions/purposes might remain in the others’ minds forever, which is the same idea repeated with the rest of the examples in the poem. The next phrase “the loud voice is

The tone is increasingly felt in this stanza. It is depicting a sixty years old person who could be as a symbolical time of a community or a person should be in the lower classes. To continue with his or her boss is a young girl and she or he should call her “ma’am”. The person keeps laughing, but now the laugh is not only for his or her self. The laugh is in the system that make the person’s life become in irony for a long

I am very humbled to be in front of you today.The Philip from 3 years ago would have never imagined himself on the Principia Ridgeway stage giving a senior speech in front of such an assembly, not even in his wildest dreams. Unlike everyone else, i didn’t have that much time to think about senior speeches, these were just things that I heard of and saw only in the movies, so you can imagine how much of a movie celebrity I feel right now. How much I wish my friends back home could see me now, they wouldn’t believe that I finally got to put on a suit that fits me. Even though at that time i wasn’t able to see this day, having to stand in front of you giving you an insight of my journey to Principia is such an honour and privilege.

Several conflicts are dramatized in The Unknown Citizen, the most prominent being: conformity of the middle class, government manipulation, and the loss of individualism to the standards of an average citizen. The speaker of this poem is non-traditional as the poem is, in fact, an inscription on a “marble monument erected by the State.” The inscription is dedicated to a “JS/07 M 378”—presumably, “The Unknown Citizen,” although this term only appears in the title. The Unknown Citizen is essentially an elegy, a lament for the dead, written by either a government official or a strong believer in the government. This becomes clear
