Themes in Cesar Vallejo's Poetry

Interest is further maintained throughout the poem by the use of unique literary techniques. Unlike other poems, ‘Famous’ does not rhyme nor does it follow any specific structure. It does, however, correspond with the spontaneity of incorporating everyday objects by not following a set structure. Throughout the poem, sibilance, anaphora, parallelism and allusion have been incorporated to achieve a constant face paced movement throughout the initial seven stanzas of the poem. These stanzas reflect a constant change in setting, replicating the insightful thoughts of an everyday person throughout their day, passing insignificant objects yet subconsciously identifying their importance. This fast paced movement is maintained through the use of anaphora in lines one, two, five and seven. In conjunction with anaphora, personification is used to enhance the already vivid image

I have decided to expand this short literary analysis paper into a research paper in a bid to explain fully the issues about the poem. The poem has a vast base of issues that need critical analysis in the interpretation to bring out the real meaning behind every word used in the poem. The literary analysis paper sort of locked out many ideas in the poem due to the brief nature of it. By going back to the poem and also reading from secondary sources, I intend to use this research to more vividly describe the themes of the poem as per my own understanding and that of other people. By reading from secondary sources, I will get the understanding of others and cite it in my research paper.

Even more, the narrator used the famous story about Cain and Abel from the Old Testament as an example about what happens when God feels slighted by someone or an sin is committed. Also, The narrator feels alot of pity for those people who followed paganism. He spoke about the followers of paganism as if they didn’t know any better than that. For that reason he showed the christian value of compassion towards them, which speaks to the views and values that the book is based

In the northwestern work, Vallejo persistently splits bodies and discourses into respective sections as a way of creating arguments of appropriate language (that is, political, or lyric and of appropriate depiction) to the inherent material bases whilst weakening the need that national landscape or poetic discourse provide the underlying contents. In contrast, Vallejo’s Paris poems for instance, attempt to hold the individual and the collective in standpoint at the same time, and to put into consideration their enmeshment, providing a deliberately disproportionate lyric supplement to diminutive political discourse. On notable ways, the works of Vallejo, particularly ‘Scales’ is significantly similar to Varallonos ‘The death of 21 years’ because

I selected this poem because I am a big fan of Robert Frost, I am truly amazed by all that he has accomplished and when I saw that one of his sonnets was included; it was very obvious that I was going to choose this. He inspires me to write about controversial topics in the world. Many families are still not comfortable talking about mental illnesses and he just did and people respect him for it. He did mention the word sad in his poem but the many motions and the empathy that we feel towards the character makes up for it. The way he describes everything, well up to the feel of the lights was very impressive to me.

I personally like this poem a lot because of what it shows to children. I think whoever wrote it, is really straight forward and knows what they’re writing about because just from reading these few lines he/she wrote, I know that they want others to know that anything is possible. It also shows that facing your

When I read a poem, I get an idea of what the author is trying to convey. When I read it again, it touches something within. The more times a poem is read, the more it grows within, until its very idea takes ground in some part or other in our mind, and only then is it fully understood. But because we all have different holds for the poem to grab on to, we all come from different backgrounds and even different times, how can we ever say “this is the correct way (to interpret it)”? The answer is we cannot, and so I can only do my best to argue my point of view in the following text, and hope that you, the reader, will bear with me.

In the poem, the characters seek the gods for everything and are basically depend upon the gods powers to help them through adversities they cannot handle on their own. The pastor advised the members of the church to keep God close in everything such as dancing, even writing a resume and applying for jobs. Overall, the idea that man is nothing with God is still established in all monotheistic religions practiced as well as the polytheistic religions practiced in the past making the theme

My first reaction to this poem is how am I going to write a 400-word response to a poem that has sixteen words? Even though I feel that I am a decent writer who has the skills to elaborate on the most subject matter, this assignment is daunting, to say the least. At any rate, I will try my best.

I believe that death in this poem is personified as not a spiritual thing but a human. The poet treats the poem as a way to argue with death, talking down to him and putting him in his place. In the last couplet, it is emphasized that death itself will die eventually. The poet tells us that death is proud of what he does and has done in his job. The poet is also not really a fan of death she feels like death isn't horrendous but that everyone that death has taken away is in a peaceful place. "Death, be not proud, though some have called the mighty and dreadful, for thou not so", shows that death really isn't what people portray him as. "One short sleep past, we wake eternally, and death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die", as the last line, this is really what the whole poem is about. She finally reveals why she extremely dislikes death. The reason is that since death will also eventually die, him claiming that he's so powerful and great really loses its worth. And because he will feel the same thing that everyone felt when he was taking their life shows he has no power over anyone. "Death is not proud" by John Donne is my favorite poem out of the two poems that I had to

The reason why I chose this poem out of the other seven choices that were given was because this poem captivated me. The poem itself has a lot of parts in which it amazed me, but what

The main themes throughout the poem are faith, or perhaps unfaithfulness, and love. Faith is an obvious theme because the speaker is talking to God and asking for salvation and

The poem itself is written in a unique style. A style which I feel interacts the poet and the reader. The poem is an exchange of questions and answers that compares life to a journey. The journey is "Uphill all the way ".However at the end is an inn, a resting place that cannot be missed and which has a room for everyone!

I find the poem interesting because of how the author used symbolism in expressing her thoughts. The main image in the poem are the dolls which was used as a representation to concretize the difficulties of letting go. The dolls represent the mother and

This poem appealed to me as it had a meaning, which could be seen just by reading the poem.
