Summary Of The Poem 'Tears Of A Tiger'

As new generations of architecture and technology come to fruition, the fruits of the past slowly turn into a distant memory, that is the message expressed in the story “Elephants” by Patrick Lane. This narrative poem tells of a construction worker who over the course of their job, carves an elephant out of brown soap given to them by a young Indian boy who lived near the area. When the worker gives the elephant to the boy, the worker tells of a story to the boy about a graveyard of elephants that were present in jungles. However, the elephant graveyard was never found—similarly—the boy tells of his parents graves, which were buried under the new highway that was constructed by the very same worker he was conversing with.

In both of Emily Dickinson’s poem she refers to her sight. In the poem, ”Before I Got My Eye Put Out,” it’s about her lost of sight, but throughout the poem she has many metaphors about her lost of sight. Like in the first stanza she’s talking about how she liked and enjoyed her sight when it was good but didn’t appreciate it as much when she had it. Then in her other poem, “We Grow Accustomed to the Dark,” it’s saying how her sight is bad but she’s getting used to the dark and can get around much easier towards the end of the poem. In stanza four she is saying how the brave stumbles in the dark but learns to walk properly. Finally the attitude of the poem, “Before I got my eye put out,” is kind of regretful because she wasn’t grateful for her sight when she had it but now regrets that. In the poem, “We grow accustomed to the dark,” the speaker shows perseverance when she talks about trying and trying to get used to the dark and adjust to it.

Helane Keating opens the poem “The Envious Heart” by talking about apples and how they represent Autumn. This is when the queen states she dislikes Autumn, due to this being the time of year she married her new husband (the king). When the king married the narrator he told her he had a daughter which he rarely saw or had any connections to. She was his queen, and when the king told her she was his “only” queen he also gave her a mirror to remind her of it. However, as she met the king’s daughter she realised they were close in age and the king favored her more than he led his new wife to believe. The daughter, Snow White, hated the new queen for coming so soon after her mother had passed and made sure to steal as much of her father’s attention as possible. Eventually the new queen feels as if everyone has forgotten her existence because Snow White is the most beautiful. The king no longer pays any attention to his new wife, due to his daughter talking and calling for him all the time. This poem uses

My connections examined the different ways people choose to deal with the feeling of pain and loss. My four texts are Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton, Imaginary Heroes directed by Dan Harris, How We Survive written by Mark Rickerby, and Still I Rise written by Maya Angelou. Tears in Heaven and Imaginary Heroes are similar to each other because they both explain how certain people dealt with pain and the loss of a loved one. I noticed that Tears in Heaven showed that one can accept the loss, whereas in Imaginary Heroes we see the negative effects of not being able to deal with grief. How We Survive and Still I Rise can be connected through the idea that human life is precious, that we should savour life while it lasts. If we do not remain positive

She is overwhelmed by guilt, as she was the one who begged her sister to take her home, and told her to take the shortcut, ultimately leading to Eleanor’s death. When this happens, she loses friends and is afraid to make any, afraid she will lose them too. After losing Mitch, I also lost my Nana and Papa (grandmother and grandfather). My cousin, Dimity had bowel cancer and although she is alive and well now, it is still scary to think how close we were to losing her.

However, just like with Violet, her friends help her world to grow.
