Individuals have been brought to believe that the only way to end their griefs and sorrows is to end their lives. Though suicide has become a detriment and devastating issue, it has not been presumed to be an effortless or painless act. In society, people become their own threats as they tend to isolate themselves from others which often increases this devastating issue of unsubstantial pain and long-suffering. In the poem, Tuesday 9:00 am, by Denver Butson, individuals are unable to speak and move because of their own specific problems which are burdening them and their ability to help others. The poet is enforcing the idea that individuals need to open up their eyes and be aware of others relentless despair and their struggle to reach out.

This Poem is about the similarities and differences between the life of a Caucasian person and an African American person. The author, Sharon olds, made this essay to compare and contrast both of them. Sharon olds uses a lot of poetic devices, imagery, and traditional racial stereotypes. Sharon uses a lot of imagery in this poem, she uses most of vividly dark and light as well as animal imagery to contrast her two characters. The whole skin of an animal taken and used shows that the boy represents the inside of an animal, and the speaker represents the outside.

Can a single person consider Bertram Potts (Pottsie) to be totally masculine in his physical appearance as well as his social behaviors? Looking at Bertram as a masculine figure can be difficult to see based on the fact that he is indeed feminine in his mannerisms. Yes, physically he is an attractive young man who takes on masculinity in his physical features, but he is naturally required to borrow from masculinity. Bertram is supposed to be masculine, but he is instead seen as feminine. In all ways he is seen to be based in the feminine domestics sphere, and tends to be feminine over all. Bertram must borrow from masculinity as well or he must become more conventionally masculine if he is to earn the love of Sugarpuss O'Shea and defeat Lilac and his gangsters. Compared to the masculinity and self-confidence shown by the mob boss himself, Joe Lilac, and the free-spirited and very experienced Sugarpuss O'Shea, Bertram behavior is seen as a feminine mish mash of bookishness, inexperience, and motherly love, given his isolation within the domestic sphere.

The author in this poem shows us two different point of views coming together. Both poems have been written to demonstrate us the differences and the similarities. Sharon shows us how both world are in reference to one another but at a final time they come together. At the beginning of the poem, the two boys are from different races and are on the opposite side of a car. That symbolizes the separation among races and color. The simile in this poem is being used to describe the little boys apparel, for example, “ black sneakers with complex pattern make a self of invented scars”. Then the color he talks about “red” shows the color inside, which refers to being something very dangerous. However, the poem has a change in mood at first it had

“The Soldier” is a poem about a generic, yet ideal soldier, which is indicated by Rupert Brooke’s use of the word “The” instead of “A” when describing the soldier in the title. The usage of “I” and “me” in the poem suggests a first person point of view, which makes the poem more personal and realistic to the reader. This poem is a sonnet because the first stanza contains eight lines and the second stanza contains six.

In line five, England is personified, and although England is not a living thing, the soldier sees his country as his creator and as a sort of mother figure. Brooke’s use of alliteration throughout the poem helps it flow; the use of caesura breaks up the lines. Perfect external rhyme scheme and iambic pentameter are used throughout the poem, which both give the poem flow and rhythm. The “dust” in lines four and five is a metaphor for the soldier’s life; England created him and he will become “dust concealed” when he dies and is buried. The first stanza of “The Soldier” uses various lines of imagery: “some corner of a foreign field… In that rich earth a richer dust concealed… flowers… Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.” These forms of imagery emphasize the soldier’s death and how his death will cleanse him of any wrongdoings he had done in his time on earth. The “rivers” and “suns” are personified as
