Slick With Words By Andrew Marvell

The central idea of Acid by James Kelman is crucial to the reader's understanding of how the young man actually died. The young man was up on the gangway when suddenly he falls into a vat filled with lethal acid. The factory was in the North of England where acid was essential. The short story suggests that the young man’s death was an accident, but it was an act of suicide because of the direction he fell into the vat and how the old fellow reacted upon falling in. Although in the text it is impossible to prove that the father and son planned collusion, the father’s quickness suggests the possibility he could have seen this coming.

His summary of the sun describes being a virgin to life and marriage. His words consist of characteristics that he propose should be treasured, protected, and useful. Herrick's poem encourages the carpe diem style of other English poets as well and brought it to a better extent. For instance, Andrew Marvell's English poetry of, "To His Coy Mistress", sets aside more of a moral consideration of carpe diem. He portrays a personal situation addressing to one woman he desires and tries to persuade her into loving him. His tone suggests her temperament to make love, despite of her own

In this essay I am going to compare and contrast ‘When we two parted’ a poem of George Gordon, Lord Byron’s written in 1815 and Letitia Elizabeth Landon’s ‘Love’s last lesson’ written in c1838, both poets are British and of the romantic period.

To his Coy Mistress, I would say they are all tragic poems as The Lady

In the poem “Self’s the Man” he portrays Man to be more superior to women. His opinion of love’s initial excitement contrasted with the

Forks Over Knives, directed and written by Lee Fulkerson, examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods. This film follows multiple doctors and their experimental process of attempting to understand the connection between the human diet and the many human ailments that occur in the world. Forks Over Knives creates a very persuasive case for eliminating meat and dairy from the dinner table.

One of the similarities that both passages portray consists of the style of writing, the way the author carries out the messages allow the audience to understand the

In his article “Fear of Narrative and the Skittery Poem of Our Moment,” Tony Hoagland argues that modern poetry is “oblique,” “fractured,” and “discontinuous”. He believes that poems no longer have systematic structure or development, making them appear random with skittish tendencies. Because of the poems that Hoagland feels are different, he categorizes most new poems to be like the kind he describes in his article. He further evaluates new poetry by claiming that “narrative poetry is tainted by overuse” and that the time we live in is “simply not a narrative age.” He uses several poems to support his argument such as, “Couples” by Mark Halliday and “First Person Fabulous” by Matthea Harvey. He utilizes these poems because they possess no true focal point and the structure restricts them from having a clear narrative.

They simply enjoy the fullness of their existence. “They interpenetrated, they enchanted, they dazzled each other.” There is simplicity in the couple’s life. In this passage we can see youthful passion and undiluted, innocent love like a child. We can say that two souls who have found their love, their only, all consuming love. “These two hearts poured themselves out to each other, so that at the end of an hour, it was the young man who had the young girl’s soul and the young girl who had the soul of the young man.” they are living in a idyll chaste of adoration.

In both poems there is the recurrent theme of irony. In “To His Coy Mistress” the poem’s entire first section is ironic in the sense that the speaker knows he isn’t being genuine. The speaker uses words to his advantage and we can take little of what he says to be truthful. In Line 1, “Had we but world enough, and time”. The first section of the poem is a series of hyperbolic statements meant to impress and flatter the reader but the

There is a similar theme running through both of the poems, in which both mistresses are refusing to partake in sexual intercourse with both of the poets. The way in which both poets present their argument is quite

There were many comparisons and contrasting ideas in these poems. The religious aspect, seeing God as the highest being, faith in prayer, and outright evilness were some of the commonalities of these two tales. On the contrary, the differences were family versus no family, the age of the main characters, the maturity levels of these characters, and a miracle in one story. Regardless of how different or unrelated these poems may appear, ultimately, the lesson to take away from both is all individuals should be honest with people who cross their paths. Dishonesty can have penalties, which may include the ultimate consequence, death.

“The Passionate Shepherd to His Love” has some similarities to “To The Virgins, to Make Much Time”, such as their diction, and underlying theme. For instance, in “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love” the diction, or choice and use of words the author conveys is to come live with the protagonist and he will provide passion within your life. This appears similar to “To The Virgins, to Make Much Time” message of give me your virginity and it will be worthwhile within your life. Both poems use diction to convince their lovers to go with them. However “To the Virgins, to Make Much Time” is not as soothing as “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love”. Both poems share an underlying theme of making the most of the time presented or “seizing the day.”

‘To His Coy Mistress’ Is a love poem by Andrew Marvel. The poem is ‘carpe diem’ which translates to seize the day, this means the poem does not take its time its blunt and straight to the point. The poem contains a thesis, antithesis and synthesis, the main argument points of the poem. The poem is split into three stanza’s which are used to persuade the woman to give up her virginity before her beauty dies. It is a conventional poem for its time in the 17th century.

Equality is one of the big difference between these three writers. Rich writes about her lover as her equal partner in contrast to Marvell’s and Campion’s poems where the female is looked up
