The Poem : The Bridegroom

Good evening. I would like to begin by welcoming each and every one of you to this joyous and stressful occasion.

Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen - I am the groom's father, Ken, and I have the great privilege of being best man. I have recently found out there are two reasons why J W asked me to do this job. 1) To make him look younger and slimmer in the photos. 2) Because he didn't want to burden any of his friends with the terrible prospect of having to give this speech.

Most of the poem is sweet, but also tells them to hurry and enjoy life right now before they run out of time. Also that their bodies are energized now and later on they won’t be able to do what they would do when they were younger. In comparison to “To His Coy Mistress” the author tells them to get married also because they have something that time will sooner, or later take away and that would be sad that they didn’t get to enjoy it just because they wanted to

For example, “with blocks of ice on her feet”. The scenario in the poem is very serious it is filled with sorrow and vulnerability. All 3 people fail to tell one another that they are dying it symbolizes the way people tend to stand back and watch while they should be intruding. The poem is an allegory all the characters have a meaning. The deeper meaning of this poem is how everyone has troubles.

The sadness and grief work as well to create a suspense full scene, the negative emotions combined with the gloomy scene create insecurity. The loneliness of the narrator, neing late at night and the unusual noises that the narrator hears also create mystery, and as the saying goes, we are scared of what we don't understand of know of, the mystery behind what is happening in the story contributes to the overall mood of the story. By introducing a destroyed office, a grieving narrator, in the middle of the night in what he assumes is a storm or heavy wind, all combined give the poem a dark gothic mood. I think if the story would have been in a different setting, the poem wouldn't have the same level of dark gloominess that is currently

Wedding Toasts – Perhaps Others Have Said it Best To the Bride From her Groom Never above you. Never below you. Always beside you. To the bride and groom (before the wedding) Here's to the bride that is to be,

The author uses mood to really get the message out there, so people can feel what the victims felt everyday. "I am not an artist But my mind has painted a painting of you " this element contributes to the poem because it makes the author feel like he wasn’t enough to be able to do anything to help those people that suffered everyday. He had a view that by telling everyone about the horrible pain that they went through people would remember that and that way they can honor those people. I would recommend this poem to everyone that wants to know what they had to go through and why they never said

Described as utopian in nature, the Chinese culture is often in pursuit for the perfect individual, a harmonious and structured society where the citizens as a whole create the ideal culture. In a collection of short stories entitled The Bridegroom, author Ha Jin documents this aspect of reality in homeland China. Primarily for the purposes of instruction and satirical verse, Ha Jin, shows how people are trying to find themselves in a society that focuses on the ‘whole’ of the country rather than the individual. He is able to interconnect this theme of individualism through four major stories in the book while presenting ‘Chineseness’ or satire of fictional verse as a way to focus on the changes throughout China

Verses rhyme sounds unnatural, giving the poem an uncomfortable feeling. The verses flow like a dance except for a few words that sound off. These examples all give insight to the tension of the

The mood of the poem gives me the understanding that it may not be the happiest after stating what is going on. At the beginning of the piece not everything was understood. After continuing reading, I felt as though I comprehended

The poem begins with a narrator describing her sorrow and suffering on her journey through life (TWL p.56 ll.1-5). She goes on to explain that the leader of her country has left his people (TWL p.56 l.6). The narrator is upset by this, and she searches for her only to find out that she can only see him if this is in secret (TWL p.56 ll.10-12). The audience finds out that the narrator’s leader is also her husband, and she does what she has to do to be with him again (TWL p.56 ll.14-15). After they get together once again, the narrator finds out that her husband isn’t the man he once was and sets her up “plotting murder” (TWL p.56 ll.18-20). She is then forced by her ex-husband to live in isolation by herself in under a tree in a cave (TWL p.56 ll. 27-28). The elegy ends with the narrator expressing her distaste for her ex-husband, and she hopes that he suffers the pain that she did for the rest of his life (TWL p.56 ll. 42-53). While the ending is distasteful, the wife playing the main character shows uniqueness for a poem written during the Old English era of literature (Johnson).

Displayed against the setting, golden sun on Gull Lake stands four white columns that resemble that of ancient Greece. White Wisteria sprouts from the top of these columns wafting a newborn baby scent, trickling over the edge in a wild display. Making three swags connecting the towers are ivory Egyptian cotton sheets, swaying from the lake breeze, that give the boxy structures a soft look. The head table is the true centerpiece in front of this backdrop. The table skirting is lit with the warm yellow glow of icicle lights and laid over top are two more swags of the Egyptian cotton sheets; counterbalancing the three on the backdrop. The vases on top of the white linen table are filled with pearls that hold up the silk flowers of

The poem is a continuous build up of emotion and resilience as the men surrender to the negative influence of the women, yet they want to feel strong and in control.

Thank you all for coming and joining us here today. My wife, Louise Mallard, was a young, frail, and timid woman who was afflicted with heart trouble. Our marriage was not out of the ordinary, for I knew we both adored each other a great deal. Even though she is no longer with us I will continue to care for her memory as I cared for her throughout our marriage. Louise wasn’t just a devoted wife to me but a sister to Josephine and their relationship was very close indeed. In these hard times, Josephine has been a blessing to me. Josephine was there for Louise in the good times and the bad. I am sure Josephine will always treasure the memories of her sister close to her heart. Louise Mallard has left her memories to be treasured by her family
