"Babi Yar" By Yevgeny Yevtushenko: An Analysis
.... of horror. Yevtushenko makes himself an Israelite slave of
Egypt and a martyr who died for the sake of his religion. In lines 7-8, he
claims that he still bars the marks of the persecution of the past. There is
still terrible persecution of the Jews in present times because of their
religion. These lines serve as the transition from the Biblical and ancient
examples he gives to the allusions of more recent acts of hatred. The lines also
allude to the fact that these Russian Jews who were murdered at Babi Y .....

The British Renaissance Produced Many Types Of Literature And Was Influenced By Shakespeare, Marlow, And Spenser
.... This theory is the premise
of Christopher Marlowe's "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love." The Shepherd in
his poem offers the world to his Love and everything with it. He is an old man
and hopes to win the girl's heart. Notice the word ‘hopes.'
If these delights thy mind may move,
Then live with me and be my love.
And so the last two lines of the poem end. Putting these lines at the very end
of the poem emphasizes the unsure gestures of the Shepherd. His age al .....

The Works Of Poet Carl Sandburg And His Effect On American Poetry
.... works included the use of free verse, colloquialisms,
an original type of rhythm, and oddly structured, prosaic poetry that emphasized
key phrases and images.(clc 35, 338) Sandburg was the first of a long line of
poets and authors to use the words and phrases that he created in his poetry.
Sandburg's style of writing is what changed the course of American
poetry. Before Sandburg, most poetry and other literary works were considerably
similar, along with dull and boring. He carried poetry to "new hor .....

For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/ When The Rainbow Is Enuf: Style And Theme
.... either writes in all capital letters or
all lower case letters and never mixes them. This creates a style that she is
personally known for. It sets her apart from other writers and makes her work
original. None of the characters have names or any type of identity except for
the color of their clothes. When the piece is done on stage the characters are
never introduced they are just eventually recognized by the color of their
dresses. This makes it a little difficult to follow for the reader or spectator

How Does Coleridge In 'The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner' And 'Kubla Khan' Show The Interrelatedness Between Mankind, Nature And The Poetic Experience?
.... is
expressed in the poem as a type of blessing or relief which he must earn. In
'Kubla Khan', Coleridge expresses man's social instinct to conform and belong to
a group. This also relates to the creation of rituals and rules by the human-
being and the obeying of the cycle of life to death, again and again. The
running theme of freedom and release for man is emphasised in both poems,
escaping from criticism, in the case of KK, and from blame and regret, in RAM.
They both explore the tendency to be impuls .....

Compare And Contrast: "Dead Man's Dump" By Rosenberg And "dulce Et Decorum Est" By Owen
.... is still alive. He
begs the cavalry to hasten their search and find him. The troops hear him and
begin to come barreling around the bend only to hear the dying soldier murmur
his last screams. In "Dulce," the regiment are tired and marching like "old
hags" because they are fatigued. As the enemy discovers them they attack by
dropping a gas bomb on the men. As they scatter for their masks one man doesn't
quite make it. He goes through an agonizing process of dying. Like the
soldier in Rosenbe .....

Critical Analysis Of "The Indifferent" By John Donne
.... and refers to the first two stanzas as a "song."
The audience to which this poem was intended is very important because it can
drastically change the meaning of the poem, and has therefore been debated among
the critics. While most critics believe that the audience changes from men, to
women, then to a single woman, or something along those lines, Gregory Machacek
believes that the audience remains throughout the poem as "two women who have
discovered that they are both lovers of the speaker and have c .....

The Theme Of Death In Poems
.... at her final destination, which was her grave, yet she
describes it as her house. In the end she is looking back, and sees how
centuries have passed, yet she isn't passing by anymore, and to her this hundred
years seems as no time at all. Finally she accepts her death, and is able to
pass into eternity. To her death wasn't harsh like some see it, but a kindly,
gentle soul, taking her for a carriage ride to her final home.
A child experiences death much differently than an adult. Children
aren't qu .....

"Dover Beach" By Arnold: Irony, Images, And Illusions

the waves draw back, and fling,” is an example of images that appeal to the
visual sense. While “ Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land” and “With
tremulous cadence slow, and bring...” uses an auditory sense. “Come to the
window, sweet is the night air,” can apply to both senses. Sweet can mean
angelic or precious to qualify to be an visual image, or it can mean almost like
a melodious tune.
Illusions are used in this poem as deception for the girl that th .....

Housman's "To An Athlete Dying Young"
.... town the race
We chaired you through the market place;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high. (Housman 967).
Stanza two describes a much more somber procession. The athlete is being carried
to his grave. In Leggett's opinion, "The parallels between this procession and
the former triumph are carefully drawn" (54). The reader should see that
Housman makes another reference to "shoulders" as an allusion to connect the
first two stanzas:

Elizabeth Bishop And Her Poem "Filling Station"
.... the oil sound
around the passage. An interesting seepage can also be clearly seen when
looking specifically at the words "oil-soaked", "oil-permeated" and "grease-
impregnated". These words connect the [oi] in oily with the word following it
and heighten the spreading of the sound. Moreover, when studying the [oi]
atmosphere throughout the poem the [oi] in doily and embroidered seems to
particularly stand out. The oozing of the grease in the filling station moves
to each new stanza with the menti .....

Emily Dickinson: Her View Of God
.... death.
" I shall know why-when time is over-
And I have ceased to wonder why-
Christ will explain each separate anguish
In the fair schoolroom of the sky- (78)".
After she dies and God answers all of her questions, Dickinson then says:
" I shall forget the drop of anguish
That scalds me now-that scalds me now!"
This shows Dickinson's anger toward God. She does not want to have to die to
have her questions answered. She wants to be able to live without these
questions .....
