Reth Poem Analysis

Whatever my life takes me, poetry will always be in my heart. It proceeds yourself to a completely different world and supply you an opportunity to understand about yourself. I had the opportunity to be introduced to poetry in my literary themes class and I did not understand what it was talking about. As I consistently read my assigned poetry book The Gift of Tongues, I could resemble my life in these poetries. Out of all the poetries that I read, ten of these poems stood out to me about life. Although all of these poems resembles about life, you can look at these poems as different aspects about life. The reason why I chose these poems is that they each resembles about life being a circle of obstacles that you will face. When these life obstacles

How could it end so abruptly? Genevieve’s thoughts wandered, and she began to wonder if her parents were telling her everything about her past. Genevieve had an agitated night sleep full of dreams. One, in particular, stuck out in her thoughts; she dreamed of a letter being dropped off with her that night at the Quinn’s doorstep. Regardless of the fact, that the dream seemed so realistic, she shrugged it off to just mere coincidence. Upon morning, Genevieve decided to approach her parents about the truth. Genevieve asked her parents about it, and they said the diary she had found sounded very interesting, but they knew nothing about her past they hadn’t already told her. Genevieve left the room not certain whether, she should believe her parents.

The author’s main idea is interesting. He starts of with the first stanza very joyful, the he describes in he next stanza what really happened. It seemed that the father hardly gave any attention to the boy as a child. The theme is symbolic for the author in this poem because he also lived through his parents getting a divorce as a child. This poem is very sad, the boy had to teach himself how to ride on his own. The setting is in the middle of night in the street and picturing that with the little boy left there by his father is very depressing. Even though he eventually learned how to ride a bike, he had no help.

During the act of describing a situation, like the base runners in a baseball game, it is importuned to be clear and concise. In the “Who’s On First” clip this was not the case. The main issue is the three base runners all have names that have other meanings in the English language. Who, What, and I DONT KNOW can all be interpreted in a different way rather than names. If Costello started his story with “Here are the guys name, Who, What, and I DON’T KNOW” and then told Abbott the order of the base runners there would be no confusion. Being clear at the beginning with the names would be the best option for situations such as this, but then again it wouldn’t have been funning.

In the Poem “To this Day” by Shane Koyczan is a spoken word poem that is about a kid thinking pork chops and karate chops are the same things and the words spread around school and people start making fun of him. “The word spread through the school that I thought karate chops were pork chops and I got my first nickname pork chops and from this day forward I hate pork chops”. This proves my point because the kids throw the rest of the year called him pork chops. Also made fun of him throughout every year of

Concentration takes its form in the little beads of sweat collecting on my upper lip. My mom’s finger dances along the words in one of those colorful children’s books for beginning readers. The turquoise sleeve of her blouse puddles across the page as if it were melting under the morning rays.​ I know this word. ​It pounds inside my head, but I continue to struggle with the blankness, silence resting on the tip of my tongue where the word should be.

When John and Jenny Grogan were married, they knew they wanted to have children one day. They decided to get a dog first, to help them practice being parents before they decided to have a child. What they didn’t expect was to get a dog like Marley. When they first met Marley, it was love at first sight. The memoir states, “One of the males seems particularly smitten with us. He was the goofiest of the group and charged into us, somersaulting into our laps and clawing his way up our shirts to lick our faces. He gnawed on our fingers with surprisingly sharp baby teeth and stomped clumsy circles around us on giant tawny paws that were way out of proportion of the rest of his body” (8). John uses visual imagery to define the features of

It Ain’t Hard to Tell by Nas is most useful than the other lyrics. “My poetry’s deep, I never fail Nas’ raps should be locked in a cell, it ain’t hard to tell” the underlined words are an example of how Nas used internal rhyme. “I freak beats” which is a metaphor because Nas used the word freak to mean something else for a dramatic effect. “Packing like a Rasta in a weed spot” is cultural nationalism. Numerous people know that Ratas’ are known for smoking weed.

Five days after the confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered and effectively ended the American Civil War, Abraham Lincoln was shot. Many writers articulated their feeling about the assassination. One of the America’s famous poets, the author and journalist Walt Whiteman, expressed the depth of feelings, by writing the poem, “O Capitan! My Capitan!” In this poem, the captain is Abraham Lincoln who died before he could celebrate with the country this great victory. The ship is a metaphor for the country that Lincoln guided through the war. This poem expresses the great sorrow of the people for their president, especially that of Walt Whitman who had a tremendous respect for the honesty and courage of this great president.

Evie explains that she doesn’t want to kill paranormals, and Cresseda tells her to cling to the good, like Lend.

Five Sense Poem Winter is white and blue. It tastes like a cold popsicle The scraping of snow shovels on sidewalks and driveways It smells like ginger bread cookies It looks like white frost on the ground in the mornings

This poem is simply describing the process on whether if our day has been spent good, by really enjoying the day, using the day productively or has if just been a complete waste. The author wants us to realize how a good day should be spent. In the first paragraph, he describes one sitting in the sun, thinking about one has done. The author also says that if one can count the good deed one has done then you can count that day spent well. In the second verse the author basically says yes you have done something good, may have done many good things during that day. But if one hasn't done at least one good deed for another person "then count that day as worse than lost". Which I agree completely with this poem. This poem is telling me to make

“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed” declared by an influential leader Martin Luther King Jr. As a soldier againsts unfairness, King strongly states that people should fight for freedom. Driven by human nature, humans are always chasing freedom. In “A Century Later,” the Pakistan-born British poet Imtiaz Dharker uses the poetic devices of symbolism, diction, and allusion to explore how perseverance drives freedom.
