- ... accounts for his triumph and success. Time and time again, Aneas' courage, loyalty, and will are tested in the Aeneid.

"Of arms I sing and the hero, destiny's exile... Who in the grip of immortal powers was pounded By land and sea to sate the ... pride. Destiny best distinguishes the outcome of the lives of Aneas and Turnus. Turnus simply lacks the heavenly sanction that Aneas possesses.

Aneas is made aware and reminded of his purpose by Mercury: "What are you doing? ... If no ambition spurs you, nor desire To see ... peace.

- 2647: Compare And Costrast Little Li
- ... desperate need to escape the murderous gas. "Fumbling-stumbling-guttering-choking-drowning" are some of the words he uses to get the reader's attention and he succeeds. Little Libby is also a poem about death, however, the difference is very obvious. Moore uses a different style to create her poem. She uses "pretty" language to describe the death of "Sweet little Libby" and how beautiful and delicate she was. She compares Libby to a flower that dies too soon in the second stanza and then repeats it in the third. The word "little ... her friends mourn for Libby three different times in lines 12, 16 and 17. This repetition seems to make the poem dull. Compared to Owen's poem, this poem lacks the descriptive details of her death. It concentrates more on the way she was and how she was perceived by others. Although both poems are good, Owen's poem is a far more interesting poem because I believe it is ...

The cult starts to present the individual with the ... some point in life. Undoutably, many cults are malicious and violent, but they do send a clear message that something is very wrong when sane, healthy people would rather burn, poison, and shoot themselves to death rather than live another moment in society.

- ... his poem, “Harlem,” Langston Hughes used increasingly destructive imagery to present his warning of what will happen if you delay working towards your goal. Hughes’ first two images depict withering and drying, a sense of death. His first example, a “dried raisin,” conveys that the dream deferred has shriveled into nothing and has no hope of ever happening. The dried raisin, being old, wrinkled, and lifeless, suggests that the dream deferred ... using the example of syrup implies that the dream deferred is hard and sour (undesirable) on the outside, yet sweet on the inside. The next two images Hughes uses continue to suggest a sense of death and decay. The first, “rotten meat,” which is odorous and reeks of death, very strongly suggests that the dream deferred has lost its beauty. This image also implies that the dream is a thing of past that’s now worthless. The second image, a “running sore,” hints ...
