.... 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 horizons." He, many times, wrote of reality, which was not always what people wante .....

.... her heartfelt expression in but one day, showcasing her for all eternity. He directs his guest to look upon the painting. There is limited access to the art since the duke keeps it covered by a curtain, and only permits those to his liking to look at her. He states that in the past, those he has let see the fresco, have asked where such an expression on her puss originated. He goes on to admit that it was not him alone that provided her with such joy, but perhaps it was flattery from the monk that caused her cheeks to redden. She must have misassumed a statement from the .....

.... his readiness too severe his bonds with the universal cycle of life and love. Following his execution of the albatross, his luck suddenly changes. His luck indeed seems to change, and the Mariner experiences the punishment that comes with the moral error of killing the Albatross-- isolation and alienation from everything but himself. Then, the "Nightmare," the life in death, kills his crew. He is lost at sea, left alone in the night to suffer, and he has detached from his natural cycle. The Mariner proclaims his misery when he says: "Alone, alone, all, all al .....

.... the same romantic element is just another example of how they are similar. Thanatopsis and Because i could not stop for Death,are somewhat dissimilar , for instance when in Dickinsons poem when she says "We slowly drove he knew no haste," she is referring about death taking her away and she sees everything on this journey.william Cullen Bryant however sees Death a little different ,like in his poem when he says " There comes a still voice yet a few days . and thee you will see no more,"He is saying that it will be very peaceful and fast. That when you hear the voice, al .....

.... of a sense of duty. Belief is not a factor or consideration. The title is trying to portray going to church as a perfunctory task programmed into the train of thought. To the people in this poem going to church is like grocery shopping. It is something that must be done. Everyone knows it is the right thing to do, except in this case many people do not understand the concept behind it. Religion does not make a difference. If their parents shop at the Piggly Wiggly then they may also. If their parents are Luthern then they are also. People withdrew the meaning of religi .....

.... away sympathetic or jealous of the love they had. Poetry is also a mystery. How is one to tell whether Shakespear intended for the reader to feel sympathetic or jealous when he wrote “Romeo and Juliet”? Poetry allows the reader to explore his own emotions and judge his own heart and desires because they have been brought to his attention by the poetry. Overall, poetry is an outlet. It allows us to express the unfathomable thoughts that race through our human minds. The writer gains support from the reader. The audience, however, must be able to decipher the .....

.... attempts to make the war seem carefree and nonchalant. The word "chap" conveys an casual attitude towards the heroes as people. It seems to elevate the status of the majors to a false superior position. "Scrap" makes it seems as if the soldier's death occurred on a playground, not a battlefield. It seems to trivialize war in general. "And when the war is done and the youth stone dead, I'd toddle safely home and die - in bed." The poet's last lines give the reader an insight into the true wishes of the soldier. The youth stone dead allow the reader to ack .....

.... of Experience”, the boys viewpoint on religion changes. His optimistic view has changed into a dissapointed grudge towards God and the heavens. He has come to the harsh reality that being a child in a profession where help is needed, because the child can not help himself, God has let him down since he has not released him and the other boys from their coffins of black. He reveals this to the reader in the last stanza of “Songs of Experience” when he makes his parents think that he is still happy. Therefore they forget about the boy and go “praise God & his Preist & King .....
