In the two poems "I coming back" and "sugar cane" have quite a lot of

The reflection of each poet's childhood is displayed within these lines helping to build a tone for the memories of each narrator.

Robert Frost takes our imagination to a journey through wintertime with 
his two poems "Desert Places" and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening". These two poems reflect the beautiful scenery that is present in the snow covered woods and awakens us to new feelings. Even though these poems both have winter settings they contain very different tones. One has a feeling of depressing loneliness and the other a feeling of welcome solitude. They show how the same setting can have totally different impacts on a person depending on 
their mindset at the time. These poems are both made up of simple stanzas and diction but they are not straightforward poems.

The poem “Those Winter Sundays” is from the point of view of a child speaking about his father. The author, Robert Hayden, uses diction and symbolism to display how the son is uncaring and indifferent to his father until the tone shift, where the son is regretful for his actions.

The very unrythmed poem begins with a very simple line letting you know what tone and mood the poem is set in. The title “Those Winter Sundays”, also lets you know that it’s cold because its winter and that its Sunday. Also, that the events in the story took place in the past. As the speaker’s father is introduced, I am lead to believe that he is the he will be a main

The second main poetic device used by Robinson is irony. The apparent irony in the poem is the fact that Richard Cory killed himself. As I have discussed before, Richard Cory was this guy who had all of the things anyone could ask for. He had good-looks, money, intelligence, and was, for the most part, liked by everyone. The irony comes when the reader realizes that the majority of people would be unbelievably happy with this life. It is extremely appalling and ironic that Richard Cory could kill himself with this seemingly perfect life. The second piece of irony stems from the first. It is not necessarily the fact that

The author Eloise Jarvis McGraw wrote a mysterious but entertaining novel called the Golden Goblet. It is about an Egyptian boy named Ranofer that finds a golden goblet that his older step brother Gebu stole. This is why the most important event in the book Golden Goblet is when Ranofer finds the golden goblet and gets him caught so that he does not have to live with his mean brother Gebu, obtains an apprenticeship with the most high scaled goldsmith in Egypt, and also meet the pharaoh’s wife. The first reason that supports that when Ranofer finds the goblet is that he does not have to live with his brother Gebu. Ranofer does not want to live with him because all he ever does is beat him and barely feeds him.

On September 2nd, 1945, World War 2 had finally ended, the allies had beaten Nazi Germany and Japan to end the war. A Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick recreates the story of World War 2, Dick recreates the story, in which the United States had lost the war 20 years ago, and is now occupied with Nazi Germany and Japan. Slavery in the United States is now once again legal. Power in this new United States with Nazi Germany and Japan, became more power over the people, power over the environment and power toward one another. One might say that in that new nation, power is being used toward one another, toward the citizens, the environment and having people feel powerless.

The Priest and the Great King by Lisbeth S. Fried faces the question as to how the Persians dealt with the Jews after the absorption of Judea from the conquest of Babylon. The texts from Hebrew sources suggested the Persian had a sense of reverence for the Jews which was unlike the others. Attempting to use sources other than the Tanach is difficult as there is not much in the way of Persian sources concerning the Jews and Judea but there is some.

Although this poem also is connected with nature, the theme is more universal in that it could be related to Armageddon, or the end of the world. Even though this theme may seem simple, it is really complex because we do not know how Frost could possibly

In the “Book of Margery Kempe”, the reader can notice how poorly John Kempe treats his wife Margery throughout the book. If this book is looked at from a feminist point of view, they would notice the objectification from John Kempe towards his wife Margery Kempe. Feminist objectification is defined as the seeing or treating of a person, usually a woman, as an object (Papdaki 1). Within this context, the different types of objectification shown throughout the “Book of Margery Kempe” is categorized under the realm of sexual objectification. Within the book regarding her life as a mystic, Margery Kempe makes use of feminist devices such as denial of subjectivity, reduction to body, and silencing in order to show the treatment received from her abusive and over bearing husband throughout their marriage.

Initially, the title of the poem is indicative of a large part of its content. The first word is the word ‘winter’. Then we have a colon which is followed by

London, in the seventeenth century, underwent a progressive epistemological shift. In this period, the intellectual paradigm slowly transitioned from a model wherein religious dogma, mysticism, and class structure were the progenitors of thought to a model wherein scientific empiricism informed discovery. Although there was a conflict between these ideological frameworks, we should not see this confrontation of epistemologies as an overt and adversarial crisis of thought. Rather, the people responsible for confronting the antique with the scientific often attempted to consolidate their ideologies with those ideologies they were subtly challenging; they attempted to act within the framework which they rejected. In this essay, we will explore this nearly contradictory sentiment by examining four scientific works: On the Motion of the Heart, by William Harvey, Micrographia, by Robert Hooke, New Atlantis and The Great Instauration, by Francis Bacon, and 153 Chymical Aphorisms, by Chr. Packe. These four texts emerged from three distinct modes of scientific inquiry: the

The poem declares right at the start that 1936 and the years before the poem was published were 'dark times', were no light seems to pass through. The winter season is the metaphor used to symbolise this dark age, as it is the coldest season of the year and the days are shorter than the nights as the sun goes down earlier than in all the other seasons. This metaphor is used quite often to describe a time of war, for example in Game of Thrones there is the expression “winter is coming” to depict the moment when the war is about to break out as “winter is here”. One notes that 1936 was in fact only three years before World War II broke out and a time of great tension among the European nations. This tension also resurfaces in other Ackland poems, for example in

This is a cold poem in more ways than one.The subject matter is seasonally icy and so is the tone of the speaker. The insouciant delivery suggests
