Persona

In Father and Child, as the persona moves on from childhood, her father becomes elderly and is entertained by simple things in nature, “birds, flowers, shivery-grass.” These symbols of nature remind the persona of the inconsistency of life and the certainty of death, “sunset exalts its known symbols of transience,” where sunset represents time. Both poems are indicative of the impermanence of life and that the persona has managed to mature and grow beyond the initial fearlessness

and presence of the listeners. These performances focus on skills and traditions to create the musical experience for the listener and in the creation the performances are able to define the performer. The performer takes on the role of a public persona to which the audience becomes closely connected with, regardless of the genuineness of the actual performer. However, a performer may sing a particular piece, but they must be aware that they do not have the full experience of the song and as such

Bishop’s “One Art” the persona exhibits the idea that losing things becomes an unconscious practice for people, and, as a person grows older, the severity of what they are losing increases. This gives the reader much more practice in dealing with loss and its hardships, and, even though they don’t necessarily acknowledge their gradual grasp of this sense of coping, they use each experience to help them deal with the next with a sense of building up a ‘mental immune system.’ The persona suggests that the

and over again, it solidifies the concept that the worker's life is very repetitive. However, whenever the persona starts to talk about Richard Cory, the audience is given a new situation and different ideas every single time he is mentioned in a new stanza. This helps to illustrate that Richard Cory’s life is very eventful and full of exciting tasks and opportunities. For instance, the persona describes Richard Cory’s life as having “everything a man could want: power, grace, and style” (4). This

often expresses a strong and impressive feeling of the persona. The poems ‘Storm’ and ‘Maundy Thursday’, both convey a man’s powerful, physical attractiveness to the persona. Owen uses his skillful writing to achieve such a strong impression of this in these two poems. In each poem, Owen uses the form and structure of the poem, diction of the poem, as well as poetic devices and figurative language to portray the feelings and thoughts of the persona. The form and structure of both poems is a hybrid

idealized country life" is explored when the male persona attempts to use words which conjure up images of an paradise which he and his love interest can escape to sexually gratify each other. The male persona entices his love interest to "come live" with him and be his love (l. 1). He desires that he and his lover's "prove" the various "pleasures" that "woods or steepy mountain yields" (ll. 2, 4). This argument is rebuffed by the female persona in the poem, "The Nymph's Reply to Her Husband," when

this is reinforced especially as the national bird of India is a peacock, signifying a real, genuine connection between the persona and India. The overall message portrayed is that the persona is trying to grasp on to a NEW personal identity, loathing her current Western one. This ‘need’ for a different personal identity is clearly contrasted by Owen in Disabled where the persona expresses his regret (of joining the war) and animosity towards his new personal identity by opening the poem with a sense

perpetrator better, it makes the victim be so much stronger. People aren’t all the nicest, therefore, we learn to handle these situations in our own ways. In the poem “Still I Rise” the author’s persona makes a sarcastic response to the oppressors that put people through feeling unwanted all these years. The author’s persona shows that she has thick skin therefore in the end oppressors can talk all they want. In “Still I Rise” Maya Angelou illustrates through the persona’s tone, figure of speech, and imagery

of the persona wishing to get to a higher social class, having a conversation with his boss, and the dangers lower class people have to face.To convey these ideas, Chevalier has used diction, imagery, metaphor, and colloquialism to convey the idea that working hard will get someone up the social classing arrangement. Right at the outset of the passage, the author has expressed the idea that the persona is less respected than his father. Chevalier has used diction to state that the persona is stuck

Fortunately, we were able to make adjustments to their strategy before they went under. All they needed to do was shift their message from being all about their products to being all about their potential buyers. We took the time to develop a buyer persona and created marketing that spoke to that “person.” Since their top-down approach to selling their service required them to go straight to CEOs and other executives, we researched who was at the top of the startups they could sell to. In our research
