Shane had a very rough childhood ,during his childhood he had an accident and then CYFD investigated him .Then he got taken away from his grandma and word got around school and the kids started to call him “porkchops”.

She expresses that very feel bad because she lost a person who loves her so intensely. She describes her emotions upon not being so in love that she knits and entangles her entire life around that one person, she knows that he loves her deeply and madly. She thinks of him as an amazing person, one with a kind heart and beautiful personality.

The poem’s structure as a sonnet allows the speaker’s feelings of distrust and heartache to gradually manifest themselves as the poem’s plot progresses. Each quatrain develops and intensifies the speaker’s misery, giving the reader a deeper insight into his convoluted emotions. In the first quatrain, the speaker advises his former partner to not be surprised when she “see[s] him holding [his] louring head so low” (2). His refusal to look at her not only highlights his unhappiness but also establishes the gloomy tone of the poem. The speaker then uses the second and third quatrains to justify his remoteness; he explains how he feels betrayed by her and reveals how his distrust has led him

He explains that their love is so strong that it will survive the distance. One example he uses to compare being away from each other is death in the literal sense. The main theme of this poem was the love between husband and wife, with a metaphorical theme to death. “Because I Could Not Stop for Death” contains both themes, their roles are reversed. Death is the main theme continuing throughout the poem and is personified.

Response to "Theme for English B" Poem It doesn't interest me anymore... the bright lights and open mic nights. It doesn't interest me anymore wasting way just smoking and toking.

Not everything about a person is true when they die. A person can be an abusive alcoholic who neglects their children, a thief that steals from their family, even in a historical event caused the death of many people. Over time it is human nature to want think good of the bad that would be the overall theme of the poem.

Mortality is being subject to death, which perfectly fits how the speaker wants this poem to be

Theme of grief is demarcated with the help of different words. For instance: “Ends” The writer uses this word three times in the song. “Silence” writer uses these words to emphasize his desolation. The world is hostile towards the man. The hostility of the world is delineated through these words: every road that takes him, takes him down (it was repeated twice in the song), lonely day, night, closed, broken, pretend, ends, little hope. The man shows his desolation. This is shown with the help of the following phrase. The last word of the poem is “he’s playing solitaire”. This shows that the man will always end up playing solitaire and end up falling in love with his great love until his last breath.

Love is another obvious theme seen throughout this poem. Although the word love is never once used he gives the reader a sense of deep commitment with his use of other words like “half broken hearted” or “thy vows are all broken” (Byron, 66). He makes his love for her seem to linger or end abruptly that’s why he still can’t hear her name without grief or shame. The fact that he never told his peers about his affair “they knew not I knew thee” (Byron, 66) shows the speaker knew it was wrong and is recognizing how shameful his actions were as well as his relationship with this lady. Love is the primary focus of this poem, even if it was lost. There was a love there that impacted him then, and as he wrote this poem. Byron’s strong grammatical emphasis help the audience understand his intended meaning by evoking thought. For example, he exaggerates “a shudder comes o’er me why weren’t thou so dear” (Byron, 66). Causing the audience to wonder why the common word over was neglected. The speaker also gains empathy from the reader, by writing about obstacles everyone deals with at one point or another.

Jonah comes back home carried at the back of a wagon after disappearing to Johannesburg. The director is now escalating the level of hatred and discrimination for people living with HIV in this community. The lady that brings Jonah back is their family member, but she does not allow him to be carried with her car. She and her husband would rather tow a wagon and throw Jonah inside. Even when they arrive with him at his house; they don’t take him inside or take him out properly, they turn the wagon down to offload him like bags of garbage. They then quickly get into the car and leave. The suggestion of this is that they are scared of touching Johan – taking us back to the myths about people with AIDs – and they are embarrassed to be seen handling

In the two poems “Where I Come From” and “A Different History” the poets convey their attitudes and ideas towards identity through the use of structure, language and diction, literary devices, tone and titles. Sujata Bhatt deals with ideas of nostalgia, colonization, displacement, being oppressed and conflict between the oppressor and the oppressed. Elizabeth Brewster focuses on the opposition and conflict towards the city and the country and woods.

This poem, written by Emily Dickinson, is a poem about death and his apparent kindness. Emily Dickinson is a 19th Century American poet who has had a great impact on poetry. Though she lived in solitude for a majority of her life, the people she did come into contact with had great influence on her(“Emily Dickinson”). She was influenced a great deal by the concept of death and the book of Revelations (“Emily Dickinson”). This poem was originally published in 1863, and has been open to questions and speculations regarding the intent of the speaker of the poem. I chose this poem to write on because Emily Dickinson has always been a favorite poet of mine, and her whimsical outlook on some of the most pressing matters, such as death, intrigues me.

It is quite clear from the beginning that the poem is a lamentation as the very first words of the poem are “Woman much missed”. These are followed by the poetic repetition of “how you call to me, call to me” which is a suggestion, and echo of himself and also a direct apostrophe to the woman of the desperate urgency and desire that the speaker feels on hearing her. It also shows how insistent and incessant the voice in his mind is. The stanza is built on a couple of timeframes and the woman meant different things to the speaker at different times. The speaker is convinced that she is telling him she has changed, she is not the same as she was in when they first met, when she was all to the him, as he puts it. This demonstrates his longing for her, how he misses her. Not the most ‘recent her’ but the ‘distant her’ and the love they had shared at the beginning of this relationship.

Together with four classmates in my English class, I created an anthology of five poems on the theme of Death. The authors of these poems are Alan Seeger, Emily Dickinson, Henry Scott Holland, Pablo Neruda, and Sylvia Plath. My favorite poem is Death is nothing at all and my favorite authors are Emily Dickinson and Sylvia Plath.
