- 571: Analysis of Frost's "Home Burial"
- ... Frost's "Home Burial" 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 of husband and wife to come together and the distance between them. In their first discussion, I believe that Frost is trying to tell the readers that the child was buried in the yard by the father, and as the child is being buried the mother watches from upstairs. The problem I think is caused because of the fathers carelessness in bureing the child. When the poem opens, their separate interpretations and feelings finally are ...
- 572: Scarlet Letter 8
- ... the truth because Pearl and the scarlet letter A were open confessions of her sin. Hester had committed adultery and she felt that God, as a direct consequence of the sin, had given her a child, whose place was on that same dishonored bosom. (82) Pearl was sent from God as a reminder to Hester and the Puritan community of her sin each and every day. However, Hester chose not to ... remained silent and the black secret slowly ate away at his soul, transforming him from a young, lively minister to a coward. Hester suffered greatly from the community's knowledge of Pearl as an elfish child, (162) but she endured far less agony than Dimmesdale, who became seriously ill, because he watched his love and his child take the blame for a sin he helped commit. The Puritan community was severely cruel towards Hester and Pearl. When Hester and Pearl walked into the market place, the townspeople formed a circle around ...
- 573: Comparison and Contrast of William Blake's Poems
- Comparison and Contrast of William Blake's Poems Introduction (Innocence) Piping down the valleys wild, Piping songs of pleasant glee, On a cloud I saw a child, And he laughing said to me: "Pipe a song about a lamb!" So I piped with merry chear. "Piper, pipe that song again;" So I piped, he wept to hear. "Drop thy pipe, thy happy ... read." So he vanish'd from my sight, And I pluck'd a hollow reed, And I made a rural pen, And I stain'd the water clear, And I wrote my happy songs Every child may joy to hear. Introduction (Experience) Hear the voice of the Bard! Who Present, Past, & Future, sees; Whose ears have heard The Holy Word That walk'd among the ancient trees, Calling the lapsed Soul ... for the 'Innocence' poems. Here the poet imagines himself as a shepherd wandering in a valley and piping to his sheep. He pictures himself as a shepherd for symbolistic reasons. With the vision of the child on a cloud, he is directed by the child. He is told to drop his pipe and sing his songs, and finally to write them in a book. The fact that this child on ...
- 574: Element of God In Poetry
- ... I have loved you. John 15:12 This is Blake's message to the oppressors of this world! Yet, in the same short poem, Blake has a message for the oppressed: the young chimney sweeper child will still have hope in the words of Jesus. That is the hope that God will send an angel to free them, with only one small condition: that the child loves his God and follows his commandments. Then naked & white, all their bags left behind, They rise upon clouds, and sport in the wind. And the Angel told Tom, if he'd be a good ... eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry? The "immortal hand" that created the tiger is the same hand that offers us eternal joy, if we follow Him. What fool would tell Him "No?" Just as a child sometimes tests the limits of his or her parent's patience, we test the limits of God's patience with us. Children often run wild if they know that their parent will never punish ...
- 575: Abortion: Complicated Issue With Moral, Political, Ethical, Religious and Economic Factors
- ... as if a baby is going to be born with birth defects that would either cause undo stress on the parents or even make it so the parents cannot even take care of their own child because of the medical costs. That would arguably make the childs life painful or maybe even not worth living. Rape has been happening since time began and until abortion a woman could be forced to give birth to a child that was forced upon her. If a woman gets raped she might not want to have a child whose father is a rapist, or she might have bad feelings towards the child because it would remind her of the rape or its father. And when a child is unloved or neglected it ...
