Songs and poems can have the same meaning and still impact thousands of people's lives. The song “Lost Boy” written by Ruth Berhe has a theme of being lost, and the poem “Alone” written by Edgar Allan Poe also has the same theme. Both have many differences and some similarities but the song is more poetic than the poem. The poem has a sadder theme to it never having friends, but the song has more of a happier theme because the use of imagination makes it better.In the song it shows repetition, similes and personifications. In the poem it only shows some repetition, but they both have lots of imagery to help the mood. The song The song “Lost Boy” by Ruth Berhe is more poetic and artistic than the poem “Alone” by Edgar Allan Poe because of the use of repetition, personifications and similes. …show more content…
In “Lost Boy” has more of an imagination to what you are picturing. In “Lost Boy” it states “He sprinkled me in pixie dust and told me to believe”(Berhe line 22). When reading the line you can literally see someone being sprinkled with pixie dust. “Alone” has things that you see more often in the real world than in “Lost Boy”. In “Alone” it states “from the red cliff of the mountain, / from the sun that round me rolled”(Poe lines 14-15). You can see the mountain in the early light. Songs are not less literary than poems but are sometimes better than poems. “To say that this means song lyrics are less literary than poems, or require less skill or intelligence or training or work to create, is patently absurd”(Zapruder 1). Both are strong but the song has more literary devices to make it just a little
The novel, “Lord of the flies” by William Golding is based on a group of boys ages 6 to 12 who survived a plane crash, has no adult supervision and has to take care of themselves. Two documentaries called “Boys Alone” and “Girls Alone” are both similar and different to the novel. The two documentaries are similar to the novel because of the children’s behaviour and characteristics. But they’re both different in how the children handled their situation.
“For the Sake of the Song” and “Song of Myself” share several key similarities, including a strong use of figurative language, making a connection with humanity, and both are considered romantic poems. Walt Whitman’s poetry contains much figurative language and connections between individuals and how they relate to the whole of society. Walt Whitman and Townes Van Zandt both seem pretty okay with death, as they talk about dying in their writings a lot and they both seem pretty nonchalant about it. In “For the Sake of the Song” you can find metaphor, personification, assonance, and many more forms of figurative language throughout the piece.
There are a lot of difference between Poe's "The Bells" to Carrie Underwood's song "Church Bells". The first difference is that “The Bells” poem has a lot of symbolism of bells as silver bells, golden bells, iron bells and breeze bells but “ Church Bells” had only one symbolism of bells which were church wedding bells which they are a clue of gaiety and joyful. “The Bells” poem had a creepy, scary, joyful meanings, that means not only one meaning. The imagery were the same at some points in both of them like the sound. For instance (To the swinging and the ringing” II 17) and ( She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing III 1).
Another similarity that the story and the poem have in common is that they express feeling. The story says, “I just hear a used-up wind, proclaiming its loneliness,” which is a way of expressing feeling, and the poem says, “My words are tied
Throughout both Home Alone and Ransom of Red Chief there is a strong theme. The theme that crosses over between the two stories is, even though they might be small kids can be smarter and stronger than adults. In the movie Home Alone Kevin was able to outsmart the robbers by setting up traps in the house (Home Alone). In Ransom of Red Chief, Red Chief was stronger than Bill and was able to control him. It states on page 65,”I jumped up to see what the matter was. Red Chief was sitting on Bill’s chest, with one hand tangled in Bill’s hair. In the other he had the sharp knife we used for slicing bacon. He was trying very hard and with great realism to scalp Bill”(O’Henry). Both of these pieces of evidence show that the children in both of
The theme of the poem is hard to find, yet a common theme in literature. In “Alone” Edgar Allan Poe shows that not everyone is the same. He shows this in his fist 8 lines, as he explains how as a child he knew he never fit in. He also shows that everyone lives different lives because on line 8 Poe writes about having to love alone, after the loss of his parents. Poe also shows that everyone is different in their outlook on life. This is clear from line 9 until the end of the poem. Such as when he writes, “(When the rest of Heaven was blue/ Of a demon in my view--” (Poe 21-22). This shows that Poe saw the evil in life, whereas others saw the good, thus further proving how not everyone is the same. Thanks to Poe's use of elements and the theme, I was easily able to evaluate the poem.
In the writings “Masque of the Red Death,” “The Cask of Amontillado,” “The Fall of the House of Usher,” and the poem “Alone,” written by Edgar Allan Poe, there are qualities about them that make them similar. Examples of some of these similarities would be isolation, mood, symbolism and death. All of these similarities are common in many of Poe’s writings because of his personal life. Throughout Poe’s life he experienced the deaths of his mother, adopted mother, and wife due to illnesses (Tuberculosis). Because of these deaths, it effected his style of writing, which is depressing, sorrowful and he goes deep into his feelings.
The paper will focus on comparing two different songs by discussing their context and highlighting the similarities and differences between both chosen songs.

The comparison will also include any contextual similarities and differences between the songs. The two chosen songs for the comparison are: 'Woodstock' by Joni Mitchell and 'The Times They Are a-Changin' by Bob Dylan.
In today’s modern view, poetry has become more than just paragraphs that rhyme at the end of each sentence. If the reader has an open mind and the ability to read in between the lines, they discover more than they have bargained for. Some poems might have stories of suffering or abuse, while others contain happy times and great joy. Regardless of what the poems contains, all poems display an expression. That very moment when the writer begins his mental journey with that pen and paper is where all feelings are let out. As poetry is continues to be written, the reader begins to see patterns within each poem. On the other hand, poems have nothing at all in common with one another. A good example of this is in two poems by a famous writer by
This may seem like an inconsequential difference, but it is obvious that Clare was very precise in choosing rhyme scheme just as he was with his punctuation and repetition. It can be said that Clare chose this particular style to set the first stanza apart from the rest. While the second and third stanza are more out of the way, as in, looking towards the future and what he wishes would be, the first stanza is all about his self assessment and coming to terms with what he is, has, and does. The rhyme scheme also draws particular attention to each ending word. The negative connotation in the context in not lost thanks to the simplistic rhyme style. Some of the words found in the first stanza are lost, toss 't, woes, throes, etc. These words are connected closely with the relative pessimistic meaning behind them. The rhyme scheme is another addition to Clare 's overall morose feel of the first stanza.
Seventeen. Seventeen men and boys who never got the opportunity to have a future. Seventeen families who grieved and lost hours of sleep, waiting on their son, brother, or friend to come home but never would. Seventeen young lives taken by one of the most infamous serial killers in the history of the United States; Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer. Jeffrey Dahmer was much more than a murderer; he raped, ate, and sometimes preserved certain body parts of his victims. But, why? What drove this man to commit such gory and violent crimes? As a child, Dahmer experienced severe negligence by his parents. His mother was a stay-at-home mom (and psychologically ill) and his father was a student at Marquette University. Jeffery’s father traveled for his studies and was never in the household. This engendered his mother’s desire for her husband’s affection but never received it due to his absence. The problems that existed between them provoked a lack of the childhood care that young Jeffery needed. He was often lonely and excluded himself from people. As a child, Dahmer had an extreme and odd fascination in the dismemberment of animals. His parents never gave it much attention and thought this interest was very normal. This was only the beginning of Jeffery’s anatomic study of dead beings. Dahmer may seem like a complete psychopath and indeed he was, but he is only one of thousands of serial
In the book Perspectives On Deviance And Social Control, the authors discuss the types of approaches to study for deviance. It includes experimental research, field research, and content analysis. These types of approaches have been used to see what causes deviant behaviors so they can get a better understanding of it. The experimental research is a method that a researcher can manipulate and controlled the conditions of the experiment. According to Inderbitzin et al, (39) “In a true experimental design, subjects are randomly assigned to one of two or more condition that are thought to affect some outcome, usually a behavior.”
The two poems “Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe and the poem, “i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)” by E E Cummings share the same similarities because they both have the same theme of love. In the poem “Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe, the author writes the poem in a very overwhelming and emotional way. In this poem, Poe talks about losing a loved one and having that person taken away from them. Even though the poem is very gruesome and mentions death, it still is very powerful due to the theme of love. In a passionate and determined tone the author states, “But our love was stronger… Nor the demons down under the sea/can ever dissever my soul from the soul/of the beautiful Annabel Lee” (Poe 27, 31-33). In the poem “i carry your
Not only do these poems share differences through the speakers childhood, but also through the tones of the works.
As the administrative assistant in my organization a lot of the associate turn to me as a resource and at one point in my new position I believed that some believed I was in a monitorial rule. To illustrate, Kyle a customer service associate, tends to request through me to either leave early or to assist in revival for a break. I remember letting him know one day when he needed to go home early because his anxiety was acting up. I let him know that I would ask the manager on shift if he could leave early because not only was he leave four hours before his shift but I would have to find someone to come in for him. It was already bad that I had so much on my plate as it was I was tired of hearing him wanting to go home all the time. Regardless,
