To Browning, a rose still holds beauty even when it is unable to function in nature. By comparing the fairness of a rose after death and giving it more love “than to such roses bold” (30), Browning indicates that the rose is more deserving of praise than living roses because it is underappreciated. The passing of a rose does not mean that the beauty is gone, in fact, the heart “doth view [the rose] fair, doth judge [it] most complete” (24). Similarly, the departure of a loved one is devastating, however, there is peace in

In 1894 he sold his first poem, "My Butterfly: An Elegy" (published in the November 8, 1894 edition of the New York Independent) for fifteen dollars. Proud of this accomplishment he proposed marriage to Elinor Miriam White. But sadly he was turned down by a lame excuse. The excuse was that she wanted to finish college before marriage. This made Robert really sad it did change his writing for awhile. For example he sometimes wrote about love and loving the same person throughout his life for over 10

Ralph Waldo Emerson, a talented poet that focused on Transcendentalism in his poetry had quite the history. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts on May 25th, 1803.

Over 3.2 million people get bullied a year. Which frankly I know that even one is too many. There is bullying shown in the book in “Red Roses”. Lila knows a kid named Derek who was made fun of and teased. He liked Lila and gave her gifts and one day she received roses. She didn’t want them so she was rude to him, but then she proudly took the roses, because she didn’t want him to be made fun of. A similar thing happened to me in 6th and 7th grade.

Edgar Allan Poe is not only an astonishing poet, but he is one of the most prominent writers of his time. He was born on January 19, 1809 in Boston, Massachusetts. Poe had a rough start in life, with his father leaving his family and his mother dying when he was only three, he did not have an exceptional foundation of love and support; therefore already forming his dreadful outlook on life. Consequently he went to live with John and Frances Allan after becoming an orphan. Poe did not form a close bond with John, who also did not support his dreams of becoming a poet but instead pushed him to be in the family business. This not only drove Poe further away from his new family, but it made him feel lost and unsupported of his dreams. He went on to attend college, but did not have the funds to support himself, and was forced to drop out and moved in hopes of pursuing his true dreams of becoming a well known writer. Poe had so much rage and anger built up inside of him from never being accepted from any male figures in his life,

Despite the extraordinary beauty, my Rose Berry scented lotion from Victoria Secret seemed to be attracting every blood sucking mosquito. Those hairy, filthy vampires. Although the lotion did smell wonderful earlier that morning. I rushed up the hill swinging at the mosquitoes like i’m playing baseball. Soon after, I realized this was War!

“In any given year, one person in 100 has schizophrenia, a disorder characterized by disturbances in thought, perceptions, emotions, and behavior” (Coon et al.). Throughout William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily”, Emily Grierson experiences these disturbances often enough to suspect that she is suffering from this illness. The story begins at the end of her life, as the townspeople are about to investigate her home to find answers concerning the incidents that plagued their town for many years took place. In her living years, many troubling events often surrounded her existence.

As time progressed, he began publishing more of his works and other poets started criticizing his work. The criticism destroyed Browning’s reputation for several years, but that did not stop him from writing (Finlayson Web). Browning met Elizabeth Barrett –another poet– who became his wife after dating for a while. He admired her work and would correspond with her until they were finally able to personally meet in 1845. They married against Barrett’s father’s wishes. Barrett’s father disinherited her after he discovered this. Browning and Barrett had one child together named Robert Wiedemann Barrett Browning. Barrett was always considered to be a better writer than him. Robert Browning wrote a long blank-verse poem titled The Ring and the Book. The main topic of the book based itself on a complicated murder case from in 1690s that took place in Rome. What made this work so special was that he included the perspectives of different characters in the story and gave them an opportunity to be narrators. This was his greatest work. The poem turned out to be both critically and financially successful, which Browning longed for since his career started (Finlayson

There are certain themes and ideas which appear over and over again in literature, no matter what the genre or form. Poems which were written centuries apart can echo similar ideas about life and humanity. Love is one such theme which presents itself repeatedly as seen in the poetry of William Shakespeare and that of Robert Burns. Each poem, though written more than two hundred years apart, explains what it feels like for the poet to feel love for the singular object of their affection. The poem "Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day" by Shakespeare and Burns' "A Red, Red Rose" share common images and themes with the intention of instilling in the reader the impression of their love and in explaining the depth of their emotion for the beloved as well as the respective poets ideas about the very nature of love and how it can be both passionately fulfilling and devastating.
