The Great English Poet By John Keats

What happened during the war wasn’t fair to anyone: sons being torn from their mothers, husbands being separated from their wives, and brothers never coming back home to their sisters. After losing Lucy, I remember telling Mum that, “Everything I’ve lost—they’ve just been ripped away—into nothing…With Hugh there’s the photo of the grave…Alfie’s just a name on the memorial. My first three babies…never had so much as a hymn sung for them…” (Stedman 262). At that point in my life, I had already lost so many people I cared about that letting Lucy go finally broke me. Before Tom and Lucy, I would sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and forget, for just a second, that my brothers were dead, and then I would remember. It would hit me all over again: the fact that they were gone, and they would never tease me about being unladylike or see how tall I’d grown. It was worse for Mum and Dad, though, to lose two children: a pain I now understand too well. Nevertheless, Lucy had filled a hole in all our hearts; like the light that guided ships safely to shore, Lucy had been my light, and without her, I could only imagine more darkness. Keeping her had been my way to fill the void, not only in my heart, but in my parents’ and Tom’s, too. In that moment, holding the tiny baby in the washed-up lifeboat, I never could

While both Keats and Longfellow often reflect on their own unfulfilled dreams and impending deaths, the poems however contrast on their own dispositions towards death and the future. Here, Keats expresses a fear of not having enough time to accomplish all that he believes he is capable of doing, but as he recognizes the enormity of the world and his own limitations of life, he realizes that his own mortal goals are meaningless in the long run of things. On the other hand, Longfellow speaks of a regret towards his inaction for allowing time to slip away from him in his past and is at a crossroads for the ominous future that looms ahead of him. Through the use of light and dark imagery, and personification, Keats and Longfellow similarly yet also differently, reflect on their own ideas for death and the futures that lay ahead of them.

Helen spent the time to elucidate to Jane that the love of another was not to be thought of as so much. Helen became one of Jane’s only friends and helped to guide Jane through the difficult times during her schooling. Though, the friendship did not last long, and Helen died from the typhus fever at a young age. Jane was able to find some love at Lowood, but not enough to keep her sustained. After 6 years of education, and 2 years of teaching, she left the school in search for a new atmosphere and job.

John's life seemed to be one major drama after another; he didn't have a good male role model as a kid, and it seems he never was able to get on track. What was amazing about his life was the number of problems that he seemed to get into and how he wriggled out of them (with the help of a friendly person who just happened to meet him) only to run into more problems.

He has minimum interaction with peers in school. The teacher describe him as reserved. He only speaks when spoken to unless he is interested in the topic. He has least contact with his sister at school then at home. Stating that she is too busy with her friends at school. He wishes they spoke more but states that he is too embarrassed to approach her when she is with her friends. John loved spending the summers with his grandfather and becomes very emotional when reminiscing. He states that he knows that his family loves him but he just really misses his

A substantial amount of evidence seems to allude to the possibility that John may be the cause or at least a contributing force for Jane's mental illness. It is important to mention, that John may be completely unaware of his contribution to Jane’s progressive dementia. Jane provides substantial support for this proposition in the beginning of the story when she remarks about her husband’s

John seems to have spent the majority of his life on the farm his fa-ther built. In 1851, his occupation was ‘labor’ and in subsequent years ‘farmer’. He never married and instead found company with family. For many years following his father’s death, he resided alongside his mother and various siblings. At some stage between 1891 and 1901, he seems to have retired from working life.

“Ah very well done, you will be happy again one day John. With Gods grace you will remarry in the future and have beautiful children— I'm sure of it.” Sister Agatha motioned to the other nuns behind her and began to make her way down the street. They were barely off the Mallard’s property when the two bundles wrapped up under John’s shawl began to cry profusely.

In The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wide and Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, the characters: Okonkwo, Obierika, Dorian, and Sibyl Vane make sacrifices in two different ways: internally and externally. Consequently, all the emotions of the characters in the novel that led up to the sacrifice were anger, insanity, depression, and loyalty, which all result in death. Okonkwo and Obierika’s sacrifices are worth it because the emotions that they have when making the sacrifice show that they are fighting for their inalienable rights. Dorian Gray and Sibyl Vane’s sacrifices are not worth it because the emotions that they show is cowardly and weak.

William Butler Yeats was the major figure in the cultural revolution which developed from the strong nationalistic movement at the end of the 19th century. He dominated the writings of a generation. He established forms and themes which came to be considered as the norms for writers of his generation.

During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, Clarice Addington, a widow, takes responsibility for a young boy on October 30, 1857. The boy was her grandson, Haywood Addington. Young Haywood’s mother slipped away into a curious sickness and his father vanished silently. Despite the circumstances, his grandmother was faithful and loving while raising him. The arrival of the young Haywood Addington was the best thing that ever happened to her since 1846. Clarice has also experienced the pain of death like her grandson has. Her husband Victor suddenly died about ten years prior to Haywood's arrival. Victor was a successful businessman and was very blessed financially.

Keats draws the reader into his fantasy settings and dreamlike state of desire. Keats was obsessed with blurring the boundaries of dreams versus reality and the consequences of those boundaries. This is seen more in this poem than any of his other works. It is not known why he had this obsession, but maybe the dream world allowed him to forget everyone he lost due to illness, or maybe prevented him from thinking about his own illness and future demise. While writing this poem, Keats knew he was ill, because of his previous medical experience, and because he lost his mother and brother to tuberculosis, so he knew the symptoms.

As she sunk his words into her heart, a strong reverence stirred in her heart. Something in his words brought her back to the loneliness she herself had felt when her mother had died when she was twelve. She had been born on May 21st, 1780, the third daughter of John and Catherine Gurney. She knew well how it was to feel lonely, as her mother’s death in 1792 had thrust the care of her eight younger siblings upon her and her older sisters.

John Keith Atkinson was the son of former agricultural labourers James and Mary Atkinson. They moved to Holmeside to work in Outcote Mill when their agricultural employer’s farm was sold by the landowner to another landowner to make his holdings bigger and more profitable. With their jobs gone and their tied home lost, they followed other migrants into the town. John was an infant when they moved.
