- Five Great Pieces of Thought I think Robert Frost is a understandable, but yet an unconventional poet. Frost wrote in his own style, and as a result, he took quite a bit of heat from the critics ... rhyme scheme of the poem is ABAABCBCB. This poem is brief, but gets to the point (Silberner 78). This poem reminds me of the bud light commercial when the two groups of people say, "tastes great no less filling". The reason why is because there are two sides to fire or ice. "The Oven Bird" shows that although Frost usually analyzes everything, he is capable of enjoying nature. Frost seems to ...
- 5842: Fire And Ice
- ... which is ice, also has its advantages. The line, "I think I know enough hate," shows that the violence of fire is caused by hate and evil.

- 5847: Educating Rita
- ... me everything." One of the first changes that we come across in the play is when Rita realises herself is in Scene 5 where Rita says, "I've begun to find me-an' it's great y' know, it is Frank." Also further down the page when she says, "But she (the old Rita) can't, because she's gone, an' I've taken her place." This shows that Rita herself ... anymore.

- 5848: Dulce Et Decorum Est
- Dulce et Decorum Est Through vivid imagery and compelling metaphors "Dulce et Decorum Est" gives the reader the exact feeling the author wanted. The poem is an anti-war poem by Wilfred Owen and makes great use of these devices. This poem is very effective because of its excellent manipulation of the mechanical and emotional parts of poetry. Owen's use of exact diction and vivid figurative language emphasizes his point ... He was eventually drafted to France in 1917. The birth of Owen’s imagery style used in his more famous poems was during his stay at Craiglockhart War Hospital, where he met Siegfried Sassoon (another great war poet).

On November 4, 1918, Wilfred Owed was ...
- 5849: Dubliners
- Dubliners is considered a champion among books written in the English language. James Joyce's characterization of not only the people in the stories, but of Dublin itself, demonstrates his great ability as an author.

Instead, it is more of a setting, an atmosphere, an "epiphany" as Joyce ... there was a split between those who were loyal to him and those who were out to get him. His effect on Ireland, though, did not go unnoticed and to this day, he still attains great respect. In a book written by Frank Budgen (James Joyce and the Making of Ulysses and Other Writings), James Joyce is quoted on the conflict in Dublin: Ireland is what she is, and therefore I ...
