Value Of Perseverence

Nature is first described in a peaceful and confident mood as something majestic, with the sun as the powerful being which controls this nature. However, by the end of the first stanza, “The hawk comes”. This phrase is said as if the narrator is afraid of the hawk and its presence is going to change the mood of the rest of the poem. The next stanza suddenly uses sharp diction, such as “scythes”, “honed”, and “steel-edge”, to illustrate the hawk’s stunning motions and the powerful aura of the hawk that is felt just from its existence, causing the mood of the poem to slowly transition to fearful, yet respectable. The narrator adores this change the hawk is causing on nature, and describes the scene with the hawk in awe, showing how the poet finds the changing of nature attractive.

Challenges and obstacles are everywhere, and everyday people find ways to overcome them all. They are what keep someone motivated to continue trying until they reached their goal. As in “The Circuit,” “from the Grapes of Wrath,” and “Against the Odds.”, they show an example of how they did it. Individuals surpass hardships by persevering to make progress piece by piece.

However, the poem has fluidity despite its apparent scarcity of rhyme. After examining the alteration of syllables in each line, a pattern is revealed in this poem concerning darkness. The first nine lines alternate between 8 and 6 syllables. These lines are concerned, as any narrative is, with exposition. These lines set up darkness as an internal conflict to come. The conflict intensifies in lines 10 and 11 as we are bombarded by an explosion of 8 syllables in each line. These lines present the conflict within one's own mind at its most desperate. After this climax, the syllables in the last nine lines resolve the conflict presented. In these lines, Dickinson presents us with an archetypal figure that is faced with a conflict: the “bravest” hero. These lines present the resolution in lines that alternate between 6 and 7 syllables. Just as the syllables decrease, the falling action presents us with a final insight. This insight discusses how darkness is an insurmountable entity that, like the hero, we must face to continue “straight” through “Life” (line 20).

Through George’s guidance, Steinbeck shows in reality that not all goals can be done with just hard work. A little luck can be helpful as well, but some goals are just doomed to fail. With an understanding of this theme, we can incorporate this reality into our own goals and helping us farther in our own

Many people live their lives believing that their lives are driven by fate; that their hopes and dreams ultimately have no impact on how their lives will turn out. This, however, does not hold true when one considers the paths taken by those who follow their own dreams and desires. When one examines the lives of people and characters who follow their dreams, one can realize that life is not guided by fate, but by the desires of one’s heart.

Perseverance is when you have a certain obstacle or situation set you back and you must overcome that said obstacle. Throughout an individual’s life they will experience certain hoops to go through, and how they respond says a lot about who you are. Some people look to things or to certain outlets to cope or to deal with stress. Perseverance is not only getting through the obstacle, but not losing a piece of yourself as you fight giving up. If sailors are lost at sea they hold on to hope and do what they can to survive, but often times they lose their mind. Sometimes you lose sight of who you are if you don't hold onto who you are.

When an individual gets tackled with an obstacle during the course of their lifetime, how they respond to it reveals a lot about their character. One’s reaction to a hardship will display how determined they are to stay optimistic throughout their life, despite the negativity. In the historical novel Pope Joan, Donna Woolfolk Cross illustrates many events in the book that show Joan’s reactions to hardships that come her way. Although Joan faced an abundant number of hardships in her life as a child, adolescence, and an adult, she was able to overcome the obstacles due to her determined, brilliant, and motivated outlook on life.

In these lines, night possess the ability to eat, and day can be sent to bed. This image can be interpreted in a multitude of ways. First, there is the literal interpretation of daylight disappearing early in the evening, before dinner takes place. Next, by looking at night and day as the

Perseverance is the key character quality of the great leaders of the Bible. They did not give up when things God hard. They continued to do what God had told them to do until the work was done.

Persevere - continue in a course of action even in the face of difficulty or with little or no prospect of success. This definition is hardly the truth, as it shows no emotion or struggle. It pains me to think that such smart people can write such anti-climactic, non-emotional, monotone, stereotypical definitions for something that means so much more. In many movies and writings you see people persevere for a very important reason, the same is true for real life. To persevere is to keep going, no matter what is thrown at you. When u keep falling and falling and falling, you keep getting up and up and up because you have some motivation, some will to achieve the thing you are persevering towards. But, a better definition would be, Persevere

The entire time, he is talking about birds but, that is just a metaphor. These birds kill so viciously, they are not just killing gently, if even that is a thing but I mean it is not a hit and go. They make sure that their prey is in pain and they do not stop until they are. Or they even make sure that the prey is in pain but, leave and the birds do not put it out of misery. “And tugging and tearing without let or pause” (line 11), in this section of the poem, it shows how the birds attack. These birds are attacking and tearing apart the prey and they do not stop. This just shows much more on how the birds are destroying. Another quote from the poem,“Their shadow dims the sunshine of our day.” (Line 1) Always on the darkest days that comes destruction, just as the quote said. Before the birds seeked out their prey, it was the brightest day but, when they killed their prey, it got very cloudy and

When closely examining Albert Einstein’s famous quote, “It’s not that I’m smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer” we can draw a conclusion that he did not solve the numerous difficult problems due to his supreme smartness, rather he mulled the problem to determine how to solve the problem. Einstein solely advocates that eventually, one will be successful as long as they do their utmost. Similarly, the poem “Define Blue” written by Zakiya Ashraf uses the ambiguity of blue and contrasting stanzas to support Einstein’s quote about perseverance. Though multitudinous obstacles come forth in life, we must learn to keep trying until we find a solution to the problem.

The theme of the poem is staying strong and thriving in the face of adversity and it is very strongly present throughout the poem. In the first line of the first stanza, the word “night” could symbolize the speaker’s suffering and adversity because a common association to the word “night” is darkness, which is also commonly associated with hard times in a person’s life.

The first stanza, reads as very dark. The darkness isn't literal, and its not necessarily even night time, its more of a metaphor for the how gloomy and dejected the narrators circumstances are. In a way the narrator “prays” to some sort of higher power, however instead of praying to be given strength, or even to be cured, the narrator thanks the “Gods” for the strength, and perseverance, that he already possesses, he thanks them for his “unconquerable soul.”

Perseverance is an art that most college students will need to master at some point. For some, the weight being on top of classes and books can be a burden too much to withstand. I am a communications major at Broward College North Campus with plans of transferring to Howard University. Many times, this seems beyond my reach; but it is not because I am incapable. For the past two semesters, I have known what it is like to be homeless four times. I am a first generation college student with no support from either of my parents. By the grace of God, I managed to survive this past academic school year without the need to drop out of college; but as time progresses, things become more difficult. A very dear friend of mine allowed me to sleep
