The Poetical Work And Polynesian Cultural Inheritances
.... is an important part of Polynesian mythology; Maui is a demigod who is used to tell of many stories.
There are also reflections of Polynesian cultural inheritances in Hone Tuwhare’s use of mythology in his poetry. Tuwhare was born in Kaikohe, and belongs to the Ngapuhi hapus Ngati Korokoro, Ngati Tautahi, Te Popoto, and Uri-O-Hau. In his poem ‘Papa-tu-a-nuku’, he uses Maori mythology. The title, ‘Papa-tu-a-nuku’, means ‘Earth Mother’, which is part of a number of nature’s elements that are personifie .....

“Fanthorpe’s Poetry Stimulates The Reader To See People And Things In A New Light”
.... about his age. The poet regards herself as one of the undiagnosed “There is no cure for us” she wants someone to show understanding.
It is very disquieting to see hospital staff presented in this light, as no doubt it is quite true that people who work in hospitals have the same traits that the rest of us have. But we prefer to see people who are in charge of our health, our recovery or our lives even, as better and stronger than that. The title “Patients” has two sets of values. It is referring .....

A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning
.... stanza is interesting, but contains a deep meaning. The earthquake causes damage and people regard it serious. The movement of the heavenly spheres is far greater, fiercer, 'cause it is harmless, people consider it innocent. I think (I do not know if I was right?) the author intended to indicate that death is just like the earthquake-brings harms and sorrow. Earthquake is not so common, when it happens, people are scared of it. On the other hand, when facing the death, human always feel nervous and sad, a .....

Comparisons Of “Report Of The French Commission On American Education, 1879” To Mike Rose’s “I Just Wanna Be Average”
.... was a land of golden opportunities available to every child regardless of social standing. It was the basis for our country to survive. It safeguarded our standing in the world. Mike Rose’s school offered quite the opposite. It was a haven for long standing views on school being selective as to whom actually deserved the education. The only hope of the present school system is a few dedicated professionals. They could see the errors of the future and grasp to what made the system work in the past. F .....

The Use Of The Color White In Frost's Poem "Design"
.... bad after all.
In the second part of the first stanza Frost describes a witches brew with all the ingredients being white. Witches have traditionally been ugly people wearing all black, the color that represents darkness and death. By saying that the white spider and the dead moth are like ingredients of a witches brew is actually putting those two objects on a lower level of existence. Ingredients in witch brew are usually despicable items that are not worthy of any human being.
Frost talks abo .....

"Ode On A Grecian Urn"
.... the urn exists in time because it is only throughout time and its events that we can even begin to understand the scenes it presents in their relation to our own experience. "The Sylvan historian, describes the panels on the urn that present ancient woodland scenes, they probably tell the history of a past way of life.
In the second and third stanzas Keats is talking about the music that is playing to the spirits, because he says "it's sweeter unheard." Also, that is must be young and very rich in .....

Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening: An Analysis
.... through his horse. Yet, he made no attempt to leave the woods immediately. We learn that the speaker's character is similar to the tone of the poem. For instance, the topic of the poem is about a snowy evening in the woods, which could be viewed as pleasant and easy going as oppose to a hot summer evening in the city which is most often busy and frantic with lots of things to do. In addition, the speaker is obviously a loner, in that he takes this journey by his self. That is an example of him be .....

Compare And Contrast The War Poems By Jessie Pope And Rupert Brooke To Those Of Wilfred Owen
.... she had absolutely no idea about what war was like. It was poets like her who had a large influence over the public. Her amazing naiveté made her renowned amongst the British during war- time and in my opinion, her recruiting poem; “Who’s for the Game” is irresponsible. It gives young men, and their families who would want to persuade the men to join the army, a completely false image of war. However, it is an army recruitment poem, and for the reason it was written, I believe it is a very powerful and .....

"The Ruined Maid” By Thomas Hardy
.... friend who has managed to change and to become a part of a higher society “high compa-ny” (11). Far more, there is a reference to not-knowing melancholy, and yet she defends that with “one’s pretty lively when ruined” (20), which contradicts with the melancholy tone of the poem, to some extent.
The recall of the conversation between the two girls comes to a climax when the narrator describes her fantasies as being like the other girl, she says, “I wish I had feathers…delicate face and could strut about .....

Mother And Child In Sylvia Plath Poems
.... (superconscious, conscious, subconscious) to name but a few, while nine is the number of months in a human pregnancy (divided into three trimesters). Sevens also occur frequently: there are seven cardinal virtues; seven deadly sins; seven ages of man; seven days in a week and seven seals in the book of revelation. Although the range of emotions is spread between the poems, they do seem to follow a linear course as the sequence progresses. You’re begins with the persona (whom we can assume to be an expe .....

Maya Angelou's “No Loser No Weeper”
.... to 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 “d .....

Sir Gawain And The Green Knight
.... Green Knight leaves all of the other members of the court cheer Gawain for his bravery. They see him as a hero and a savior of their leader King Arthur. Gawain only sees himself, as a normal everyday soldier that is only doing his duty by protecting faith in the monarchy that he is apart of. Gawain is a very humble person who will refuse to view himself as a hero.
The main test that Gawain is going to have to face is a test within himself. During the time before he had to make the journey to meet the G .....

Comparing Ode To The West Wind And Tintern Abbey

Along with a heart-rending tone and personification Shelley uses imagery to describe nature. He refers to the clouds in the sky as “angels of rain an lightning” and the dead leaves of Autumn as “ghosts from and enchanter fleeing,” he is amazed and mesme .....

Analysis Of Frost's "Home Burial"
.... prior to the child's death. The highly dramatic poem underscores the impact of loss and the need for communication or discussion of loss by those involved. When no reconciliation occurs, the loss intensifies to become destructive.In the poem “Home Burial”, Robert Frost talks about a couple in the verge of breaking up. I believe that the main issue in this poem is the death of a child that has not been addressed by the parents. A staircase, where the action of the poem occurs, symbolizes both the ability .....

Interpreting Poetry
.... summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his
Shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
In the simplest terms possible, Shakespeare is saying that the woman of whom this poem speaks of is beautiful. But even more than that, the eloquence in which he expresses her beauty demonstrates that Shakespeare loves the woman .....
