Second Coming Tone

Interpret (tell me why you think the poet wants to use such images)As such, a sense of gloom permeates the writing.

It creates this mood by showing the author's word choice in order to give a clearer image of the story.The excerpt “the door was blistered and distained” helps show a mysterious mood as well ( 49). The wording of this shows that Stevenson wants a more spooky feel of this part of his story. “insensate cruelty” is a wording that enhances the meaning of the word cruelty ( 69 ). As well as making cruelty have a greater meaning, it emphasizes that he wants you to get the word cruel's full meaning. One last excerpt for diction is “same grave countenance” ( 70 ). That shows that it is a dark, or scary, countenance, which helps contribute to a more mysterious mood. Therefore, word choice shows many things to help contribute to a mysterious

Secondly, the author uses word choice to show the speakers overall sorrow. Throughout the whole poem there are word scattered everywhere that describe the general emotion of sorrow, some of those word being “restless” (19), “torment”, and “troubled” (4). These words instantly give the connotation of feelings like despair and sadness. The speaker also uses literary elements such as simile to express sorrow, like when she says “These troubles of the heart/ are like unwashed clothes” (27, 28). Everyday people usually do not pay much mind to unwashed clothes, and usually look at it as something unimportant or irrelevant. When the speaker compares her internal troubles to something that holds little importance to everyday life and is also seen as unpleasant, the readers really get a look into the sorrow and sadness that the speaker is truly feeling. The speaker also uses word choice to help show the readers the true intensity of what she is going through.

One of two ways that the author’s use of dashes and unusual capitalization are used to contribute to my understanding of the theme of darkness in the poem is by having a dash after the word “dark” in the very first line of the poem it draws attention to the word, this is shown in the following excerpt “We grow accustomed to the Dark --” this is strengthened when in the second line, when the author chose to capitalize the word “when” before the phrase “…light is put away--” therefore, strengthening the theme of darkness. Another way that the author’s use of dashes and unusual capitalization are used to contribute to my understanding of the theme of darkness in the poem is by capitalizing the words “a” and “moment” they caused a sense of hesitation,

In the first part of the poem the writer shows the difficulty he is having with taking a human life. In the second stanza he says “Making night work for us the starlight scope bringing men into killing range. This dark tone helps to emphasize the struggle the author is feeling as a soldier in war. Also he shows his emotions directly. In stanza 3 he says “The river under Vi Bridge takes the heart away”. This quote shows the feeling that the author gets

being severed by white sealers as they tried to save themselves from drowning. Figurative language and the overall tone of the poem illustrate the gloom and sadness surrounding the event: “shadows” and “darkness”. The landscape made up of “low hills”, ”the silver-grey wash of clouds” and “the steel-shining channel” reflects this dark mood. Reference to black crows, hectoring and descending, eyes being pecked, conjures images of cold-blooded, inhumane slaughter and “filaments of sinew”. Harwood’s typical use of the sonnet form is not employed here but experiments with rhyme and metre, in the form of free verse, evident in many of her later poems. Run-on lines and stanzas add to the narrative style of the poem, best read out loud. Although the

Significantly, the speaker begins the poem by saying, “A darkness was ripped from my eyes” (line 2).

It again reinforces the thematic concern of the overall theme. The tone does not change throughout the poem suggesting the constant constraint the poet felt. This is created by words such as "rage", "smouldering" and "furious". Which again highlights the irritation the poet herself felt due to the lack of freedom on the poetic inspirations. Therefore, the tone creates a sense of "life as bleak".

Each line does not represent a new thought but instead many line often do. While reading the poem the reader can easily identify a few clusters. One of them is: Revolver, bullet, Trigger, Body, Blood, and Gun. These create feeling of murder or suicide. Words that one might read in a newspaper, like the author never knew him but read the details in a police report. The author uses a number of poetic devices to invoke the mood of the poem in the reader. For example, the author personifies sorrow by saying that it has no sense of propriety and that it is able to take what it wants. The author uses imagery to bring the reader in and make them feel like they were there. For example, cool green sheets, small hot mouth, and butter pecan or chocolate

In the poem “The Second Coming”, by William Butler Yeats. He writes this poem after World War I, around 1919. Yeats is a Irish poet, who came from Protestant parentage. The over all theme of the poem is that God will come back again. There are many versions to how God will appear, but in this poem bad things happen first in order for God to come. In “The Second Coming,” Yeats uses symbolism to unfold the meaning of the poem.

Connell consistently uses vivid descriptions to depict the melancholy mood and help the reader predict what may occur later. When Rainsford falls off the yacht, Connell uses the words, “…blood-warm waters…,” (p. 3) to describe the Caribbean water in which Rainsford falls into. Blood and murder are commonly associated with one another, which hints at the murder and death that Rainsford will soon face. This quote provides another example of how Connell uses the mood and profound descriptions to help the reader foretell a negative event that will occur.

The epigraph starts by introducing a falcon which doesn’t feel safe and starts to get more out of control. When comparing the novel "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe and William butler Yeats poem "The Second Coming", at first there

Mr. Yeats relates his vision, either real or imagined, concerning prophesies of the days of the Second coming. The writer uses the Holy Bible scripture text for his guide for because no one could explain this period of time without referring to the Holy Bible. He has chosen to present it in the form of a poem, somewhat like the quatrains of Nostradamus. The poem does not cover all the details of this event, but does give the beginning of the powerful messages, and a dark look at those ominous days surrounding the Second Coming of The Lord Jesus Christ. Perhaps he is trying in his own words to warn everyone about the end time days.
