    The poem is likely about bells. In the first section, there are sleighs decorated with silver bells, which ring merrily in the winter night. The second scene takes place in a wedding, during which golden bells ring. The third section introduces itself with brazen alarm bells clanging as a fire wreaks havoc in the area, while the last section concludes itself with iron bells and a funeral to address the dead. The speaker is a person, and is likely an observer. Poe uses situational irony in section

    Stanza 1: “The moon was a ghostly galleon…” The author compared the moon to a sailing ship to put emphasis on the fact that the sky is so vast, just like a sea. The “ship” is sailing the “sea”. Stanza 2: “And he rode with a jeweled twinkle, his pistol butts a twinkle, his rapier butt a twinkle...” The author includes the repetition to put emphasis on the fact the Highwayman seemed to shine.

    The first lines of Rise Up by Andra Day say ‘ You’re broken down and tired, of livin’ life on the merry-go-round’. These first couple of lines drew my attention because at the moment, I feel like I’m living the same thing over and over again. It’s the same thing every day.

The next couple of lines say ‘ And you can’t find the fighter, but I see it in you

    There comes a time in life, when one realizes what is important. To some, the most important things in life come in a diamond embedded suitcase filled with the grand jewels of life: money, love, and leaving legacies. People seem to have one simple thought, that having money and love is the most important thing in life. However, that is not the case for Christina Rossetti. Her views on life are very realistic and matter of fact. She believes earthly gifts and human emotions are not important because

    are not at all a provider. 12 summers of cold, tears and sorrow, Never even once you thought about tomorrow. I sat down under the dark thunderous cloud, Wondering how much the price of proud. Now 24th spring is my time, And yams grow abundantly in line. Like a firm tree, my leaves covered all, Flowers and fruits clustered in enormous wall. And when my feet stomp the ground, Every god creation bows down. Im nothing like you, you know I close my affection because it brings sorrow. Im strong, im powerful

    aging. It seems that the stark contrast between the imagery of the first stanza, versus the second stanza reveals the dramatic difference between childhood and adulthood. Childhood can be thought of as more gentle, airy, and even innocent. The third line of the first stanza says “the grass grows soft and white…” (Silverstein, n.d.). This gives that notion of gentleness, and innocence associated with childhood. Many think of the color white and associate it with innocence, maybe because of their religious

    On the way back, the two were discussing what they might do about all that they had discovered. Karjon was keen to expand his knowledge and discuss with experts in the field. But first he had to find an expert in this field or at least a similar field. If one did exist. He was reticent to blindly accept the premise by Murfon that there was no expert in this area. There had to be someone. The Hive could not be so ignorant about the sky around them to not bother with picking someone to study it. Murfon’s

    structural notions of the poem. Starting off in the third line of the first stanza it reads, “... with cracked hands that ached/ from labor in the weekday weather/ made banked fires blaze”(Hayden). This supports the concept of love coming in many forms by how the father, as stated in line one, makes fire for his family even though he worked the whole rest of the week, which the father perceived as love. This is all explained by the final line of the stanza that declares “No one ever loved him,” which
