In Carl Safina’s writings of Song for the Blue Ocean, he reflects on his and others take on what is currently going on to the salmon across the Northwest. As you can clearly see from his writing he truly admires this animal and so do many of the people he introduces us to. He shares with us the ridicule’s many industries, whom are harming the salmon have laid plainly before us and we fall for without any second thought.…
The title of the poem, 'Beach Burial', has an ironic slant, as beaches are commonly associated with life and pleasure. Instead, the poem consists of the opposite: death and sorrow. Similarly, the poem first two stanzas include low, soft sounds, such as "softly", "humbly", "convoys" and "rolls", with the rhythm and alliteration of "swaying and wandering", which present a calm, soothing tone. However, this soothing calm is more of a grief, as illustrated by the onomatopoeia, in "sobbing and clubbing of the gunfire". The main place or action is sensed as afar, so the washing up of "dead sailors and "tide wood" represents a calm after a storm, wherein the storm is a battle out to sea.…
In reviewing Vergil Suárez's 1962 poem “Isla”, I find his use of imagery easy to relate to. The use of television shows such as The Three Stooges, Speed Racer, and Godzilla, to bring the reader to the level of the child by providing focal points which many can relate to is refreshing. I can remember many weekends when I would sit in front of a black & white and eventually color tv and watch these same shows as a child. Likewise, Suárez’s use of descriptive phrases helps to paint the picture of the struggle the storyteller is experiencing.…

Tone is the author’s attitude toward the writing (his characters, the situation…) and the readers. A piece of writing can, and often does, have more than one tone. Tone is set, and identified, by the setting, choice of vocabulary, dialogue, and other details. Mood is the general atmosphere created by the author’s words. It is the feeling the reader gets from reading those words.…
You might think about the difference between mood and tone as follows: Mood as the attitude of the author toward the subject, and Tone as the attitude of the author toward the audience. Usually. Sometimes there is a fine line, and Tone can be an attitude toward the implied audience and subject both.…
When I read a story I decide if I like the story by the way I feel . That is called the tone of the story. In the poem “There Will Be Soft Rains.” the author sets a tone of loveliness and loneliness. The author goes into a tone like fear and loveliness like when the house was on fire the house could not tack the fire it was completely helpless.…
The Title to this poem 'At Sea ' is a neutral title and doesn 't give away a lot of the meaning to the poem. It doesn 't necessarily commit to anything specific; it 's just a statement. This is just like the poem. Armitage hasn 't completely stated what the poem is about, there is nothing to say that it is definitely describing someone/something 'At Sea '. However, there are small links that suggest the 'Sea ' is being used metaphorically. I think that the summary of this poem is the story of a family.…
