Stealing

Essentially a monologue set within a frame, this poem creates two personae. The anonymous author gives a brief introduction and conclusion. The Wanderer, an aging warrior, who roams the world seeking shelter and aid. The Wanderer’s monologue divides into two distinct parts, the first being a lament for his exile and the loss of kin, friends, home, and the generosity of his king. In nature, he finds absolutely no comfort, for he has set sail on the winter stricken sea. Poignantly, the speaker dreams that he is among his companions, and embracing his king, only to awaken facing the gray, winter sea, and snowfall mingled with hail.

The speaker is the voice of the poem, since “I” is used alot in this poem, it is in first person. I imagined the speaker’s

In lines 4-7 the author states, “I keep remembering you sometimes long ago but then other times I am sure you were here a moment before”, which verified the author was abandoned. Notice the author never refers to this person other than “you” as if he was directly talking to them. The author repetitiveness of “you” illuminates the fact he wants the readers to reckon every word, hauling his readers in as if they were that person he speaks of. Overall he wants the reader to understand the slumber and misery he is enduring alone.

The poem Life cycle talks about Australian children growing up in a family obsessed with AFL. Being brought up in a family of football supporters encourages and Enforces the passion for football. That from the moment the child is born and throughout their life, until death these people love football because of their upbringing. It talks about how these families influence their children so much that football almost becomes a religion, where the football grounds are equivalent to a church. Through-out the poem life-cycle, Bruce Dawe emphasises and exaggerates that we are who we are based on what we’ve be taught, and our way of life, personality, personal interests and hobbies.

William Shakespeare’s plays MacBeth and King Lear, though involving different messages and circumstances, share striking similarities. In both plays, the pivotal motif of clothing is used to give the audience an insight into the characters’ mentality. However, while both plays share the motif of clothing, the way in which the motif shapes the theme differs. In both plays, Shakespeare effectively uses the motif of clothing to as a method of characterization to show how clothing is just as important to the identity of the character as their personality.

In lines 1-2, the phrase “a Muse of fire” is an allusion to Greek mythology, specifically to the fact that Muses were daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne; the use of this phrase makes it seem like the play is worthy of the gods. Shakespeare uses enjambment (lines 1 and 2 are one sentence) to continue the thought from the first line, and also to emphasize the second line. There is interesting word choice here as well; describing the imagination as “brightest heaven of invention” continues the theme of making the play seem worthy of the gods. In lines 3-4, there is an example of alliteration with “swelling scene”, which makes these words stand out; it is also a form of imagery, as the reader can almost picture the giant stage. The next sentence encompass a total of 4 lines which are “enjambed” together; this creates

William Shakespeare’s exaggeration of

The poem is a one whole stanza poem with a short structure

I think stealing is wrong because your taking something that someone earn. What if someone stole from you, you would be mad .But sometimes you can accidently steal stuff. Like when you are at the store and accidently grab something and you leave the store.

The poet shows us his point of view in raising a kid and also trying to become his best friend. We as readers are given the ability to read the mind of the father, and see through his perspective; being afraid of being separated from his son over time. Through his point of view, his nightmare and his desire are being exposed.

The stylistic device, imagery, is a structural technique used to create a visual image in the reader’s mind and increase their anticipation for a situation, used as a strong base to help readers hint at forthcoming events. In the play Hamlet, Shakespeare creates an image of situations shaping how readers look at a situation, to impact what they further expect, and foreshadow forthcoming plot. Hamlet Senior’s ghost informs Hamlet about his death, and Hamlet’s love for his father causes him to reflect upon himself in a place dark and dense with trees. This soliloquy displays Hamlet’s anger and hunger for vengeance, foreshadowing that Hamlet may take revenge of his father’s death in the future.

In Hamlet, imagery of disease, poison and decay, are used by Shakespeare for a purpose. The descriptions of disease, poison, and decay help us understand the bitter relationships that exist in the play and Hamlet’s own cynicism. We see Hamlet’s pessimism in his soliloquy when he contemplates suicide. The resentful relationship that exists between Claudius and Hamlet is heightened with the use of imagery when Claudius asks about Polonius. Imagery enhances Claudius’ abhorrence of Hamlet. Shakespeare uses imagery in this play to deepen our understanding of the emotions experienced.

  Throughout Hamlet, a lot of the allusions refer to the theme of mythology. This scene's

Music gently bellows in the backdrop of a candle lit feast, where plates made of finery are situated around the table, organized in their custom patterns. There would be a lull of conversation, perhaps a laugh or two at the latest investment or winnings of the recent horserace, while light warmly, drapes over the guests, leaving them and their conversations the center of their own worlds. The illustration might not have been intended by Parker, but the symbolism within her installation points to this sort of lifestyle. Her arrangement in Rorschach (Accidental IV) does indeed resemble an inkblot, but could also resemble a flourish pattern found on antique wallpaper. It’s usually association lies with upperclass civilians and the precious silverware, candle holders, and brass instruments, which mirror the golden light above, only further emphasize the symbols of wealth within the art piece. There is a connotation that the viewer is expected to reflect on the “rich.” Perhaps the richness of life, perhaps societal’s concept of wealth, or it could even make one dig into his or her own materialistic psyche for a reanalysis. The inkblot images on the back wall, escort the viewer in their own meditative journey of what material means to them and to their place in society. Fleetingly, objects come and go as a cycle, especially to the more wealthy and privileged of humanity. This psyche, whether the intent was there or it is only a personal reflection of my own means, aligns well with Parker’s original intent of death and rebirth and the state of suspension Parker has left her viewers in upon asking the us all the question, “What does this say to

Throughout the song author used a lot of repetition, rhyme and imagery techniques. In the song the repetition technique was used three times. The first time it was used in the first stanza where writer sang
