'Curious George': Poem Analysis
This book is not a traditional Curious George book. Instead it is a collection of short poems that discuss different fall/halloween topics such as pumpkin picking and choosing a costume. I like the fact that it introduces our youngest readers to poems and it still is entertaining to listen to all the antics Curious George tends to get involved in as well as plenty of illustrations for viewing.

    Reginald Rose has been a juror before, and he has used his experience to write a play in which he portrays the case of a murder of a boy’s father being put into the hands of people that do not take their responsibilities seriously. One of these characters includes the 7th juror. The author’s use of idiom suggests that in a democracy, there are often citizens that don’t take their role in a democracy seriously. When the writer states, “He’s a bull, this kid. Shoooom. A real jug handle”, (Rose, 2-5)., Rose is conveying his perspective through the 7th juror. The juror’s lack of interest in the case illustrates that there are people in a democracy that have a serious and important role but do not care, and only slack off. Holbrook has a similar…

    The wounded heart now enormous tune of sorrow, Skunk breath a force to linger tomorrow. Saint unreal a body-less per poster, Bound by force that will never divide as greater. Benevolent a flaunt of no remorse, Unmistakable tone unruly of course. Patch up the hole in your britches; water new soil, Be thankful thieves ravishes in turmoil.…

    For centuries, stories have been told amongst people all around the world. As time went on, people have searched for ways to help better memorize these stories. Stories were often written down by those who could write, which at the time was a small percent of people in the world. For those that couldn't write, they had no choice but to pass stories on verbally. These people soon realized that over time, stories are not always told properly, or are purposely changed. Stories told by song are not only kept the same, but they are also easier to remember. For example, during slavery, slaves depended on songs to lead them to freedom. One song was "Follow the Drinkin' Gourd." This song gave specific instructions on how to follow the stars, evade…

    If you compare the two poems “Casey at the Bat” and “David and the Goliath”, you will find some differences and similarities between the two. The first similarity between the two is that they both had faith that they would achieve their goal. In verse 36 David states “Sir, I have killed lions and bears that way, and I can kill this worthless Philistine”. This shows that David has killed many animals and it will not be different from killing the giant. In line 30 of Casey at the Bat it states “And Casey stood a–watching it in haughty grandeur there”. This means that Casey looked at the pitcher like he was too good for the pitch. The next similarity is that they had to face big problems. In Casey at the Bat on line 43 and 44 it says “They saw…

    In this piece, Alan Seeger uses diction, repetition, personification and rhyme scheme to relate to the reader that, death is not something to be feared, although it is inevitable and unpredictable. This gives a sense that Seeger sees death to be calmly be accepted and maybe likely. The poem is spoken by a soldier who knows that he or she may face death all around, and wishes they could avoid conflict but instead be safe in comfort. Death is personified in this piece with the use of the term rendezvous; like a meeting with someone you may know. As well as death, spring is personified, giving a stark contrast between the unexpected end of life, and the expected time of growth in the world. (“When Spring comes back with rustling shade… I have…

    Many writers on their venture to becoming great, are faced with roadblocks. I too feel those stresses. When sitting down to begin a story, novel, or poem we all strive to be different. But as Baldwin explains, "there is no original thought, because we all humans think and feel has been thought and felt so many times before, by so many generations." This in itself makes starting writing a very daunting task. Not to mention the sea of fellow authors you are competing with for limited shelf space. A trip to a jam packed bookstore reiterates this feeling instantaneously. Really, what sets the writer apart is the original perspective and finding out what shape to give it to really hold the readers attention. This can all be achieved through the power in…
