.... to do so because of teen pregnancy and drop out rates. I am reminded of a dear friend of mine who birthed two children at the age of twelve and thirteen, how she struggled to regain her childhood but failed miserably. Now she just lives day by day thinking that there is no hope for her or her children. Blake saw the pain of this and yet he did not rejoice in its reality, but wept. “And the hapless soldiers sigh Runs in blood down the Palace walls” (lines 11-12). Yes. Explain how the truth of families unnecessarily loosing loved ones to war can cause a merry celebration. A wa .....

.... talks about Sophocles and the Aegean he is clearly reinforcing the idea of the sea being the bearer of misery. The reference is to Sophocles tragic plays and the suffering that necessarily accompanied them. This image becomes powerful as the reader realizes that the poet is saying that he can hear the same message on Dover Beach that Sophocles heard so many years ago by the Aegean. He is basically saying that the nature of life doesn't change. There was suffering in the times of the Greeks, suffering in his time, and there will be suffering after he is gone. The poet finis .....

.... “And make their bed with thee.” This connection between death and sleep creates an intriguing metaphor which adds depth and meaning to the poem. By using this strange metaphor I believe Bryant wishes to suggest his faith in an afterlife. While examining the differences and similarities of death and sleep the reader is left with some very thought provoking questions. The answers to these questions reassure some readers while confusing others. Sleep is a time of rest. It allows preparation for the next day or event, and by relating this definition to death Bryant gives .....

.... sun would suggest losing hope after trying so hard. Another example Langston used was the festering of a sore. Of course, it is painful to get a sore. Such an act or thought could equate to the struggle the blacks in-lets say the sixties went through during all those marches across the country. The pain and suffering they endured trying to become a part of the so-called "American dream". In many ways those efforts were null and void because we still are not equal, racial discrimination still exists. Black people still have one hand tied behind our back when we attempt .....

.... promise they are true. Even as I write this, I think of how to describe to you. Something I hardly understand, But I must tell you how I feel. So I close my eyes, And let my heart guide my hand. Perhaps the tears that falls from my eyes, Will show you my love and how much it means to me. To me our love is everything. I believe love will find it's way and show us the answers To the questions being revealed, I promise you that I will always love you And I never meant to hurt .....

.... this poem flow properly. First, he utilized imagery, which is the use of words to create a mental picture. In fact, he has been compared to surrealist because he occasionally juxtaposed seemingly unrelated ideas and realistic and nonrealistic images causing an uncanny, dreamlike effect on the reader. In addition, he included numerous symbols in this poem to represent a certain idea or mood that he was trying to create. Also, the poem contains a musical quality, which appeal to the reader’s senses. Next, this poem contains characteristics and ideas, which are indigenous to .....

.... green jungle of grass. Yet symbolically this jungle is the twisted, black, and crisp auto wreck. This depiction of the auto wreck is extravag ant and almost unreal. Using metaphors, Shapiro portrays the fantasy-like auto wreck in which wildness is indispensable. In addition to Shapiro's use of metaphorical phrases, he emphasizes the lack of comprehension of the on-lookers as a result of death's inconsistency with logic. Shapiro directly tells the reader, "We are deranged." The word "we" symbolizes u s, as a whole institution or better yet -- society. He go .....
