.... just white and more white…" (lines 13-15). It feels that once the movie is gone so is all the excitement in his life, that through the movies he can explore something that he cannot in real life. Stoutenburg or the person he is writing about does not seem to want to live outside of this fantastic dreamscape. Although Stoutenburg is with his girl friend throughout the whole poem, he does not make mention of her until the second body paragraph, "I held my girl's hand," (line 9). He is so caught up in the movie that he fails to acknowledges her existence. In lines .....

.... her to avoid touching her “lover-boy”(Angelou 12).Furthermore, when she states, “I hate to lose something…….even a dime, I wish I was dead”(Angelou 12), we gather that something as small and worthless as a dime would make Angelou wish that she was dead. This remark signifies that the trauma in her life just bought thoughts of suicide. According to Compton’s Interactive Encyclopedia most suicides oc-cur when the bonds between an individual and society are broken. She also explains how she lost a “doll once and cried for a week ,the doll could open her eyes and do all but speak .....

.... They also convinced me that Robert Burton had an influence on Keats’s poem. In Keats’s Ode on Melancholy, Gaillard explains that the original “Melancholy” was composed of four stanzas, the first of which Keats’s decided to remove before the poem was published. According to Gaillard, the original “stanza did survive in Brown’s transcripts, but many critics have made only passing references to it, avoiding discussion of the structure, language, theme and imagery of the poem as a full four-stanza work”(19). Gaillard believes that the deleted first stanza’s inclusion is ver .....

.... piece and each line rhymes with every other line. For example, in the first line ‘whiskey on your breath’ rhymes with ‘but I hung on like death’ on the third line. The words breath and death are dominant words that reveal a somber tone, which runs throughout the piece. In the second line, the words ‘dizzy’ and ‘easy’ are paired as sight rhymes. Although the rhyme scheme is entertaining, the late night waltz between father and son is serious. The poem is told by a boy who remembers waltzing with his father. The first stanza reveals that the father has been drinking and that hi .....

.... experiences: the perpetuating, generationless song of the nightingale and the “cold Pastoral” ageless marble scenes on the Grecian Urn, considered by may to be among the “best” of his poetry. Ex: His best poetry is composed largely of representations of representations, meditations “on” objects or texts that are themselves reflections of other artists’ creative acts (Scott, xi). The product of these artists are indeed timeless and eternal, something Keats was very aware, both in presence of other artists works and in the absence of his own. As Keats tries to create for himself .....

.... used this title ironically. He anticipated the reader’s expectations, and took the poem in a different direction. The character in the story is certainly not having a “normal” spring break at all, as he is spending it grief-stricken over the death of his four-year old brother. If one examines this title on an interpretive level, the word “break” takes on a new meaning, as it could refer to the death of the child as breaking the heart or spirit of the family and the speaker. The situations and tones in the poems are very similar, in that all the poems deal with the speaker in t .....

.... precisely how the man is being tormented. Moreover, the phrase "blood shod" shows how the troops have been on their feet for days, never resting. Also, the fact that the gassed man was "flung" into the wagon reveals the urgency and occupation with fighting. The only thing they can do is toss him into a wagon. The fact one word can add to the meaning so much shows how the diction of this poem adds greatly to its effectiveness. Likewise, the use of figurative language in this poem also helps to emphasize the points that are being made. As Perrine says, people use metaphors becaus .....

.... they stirred and haunted me with a wild pleasure…" But as this paragraph progresses, he begins to show the loneliness in his life, "For still I hoped to see the stranger's face." Though his mood begins to change there still is a calm and somber feeling. In paragraph three, Colridge is holding his son, while appreciating nature and what it will give to his child, "it thrills my heart with tender gladness, thus to look at thee, and think that thou shalt learn for other lore…" He also shows his appreciation of God and what he has given us. This is the first paragraph where I fe .....
