    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…

    Unfortunately the relationship between the speaker and the mother in the poem is unclear as it is stated that her mother has passed away and is in a grave, which is shown here in the following excerpt “… into the grave!” but all throughout the poem she speaks of her mother’s courage, which is shown here “courage that my mother had. Went with her, and is with her still… if instead she’d left to me. The thing she took into the grave!–That courage like a rock” which is not typically something that is said by someone who didn’t have a good relationship with the person who’d passed…

    "The woods are lovely, dark and deep," This line from the poem Stopping by woods, is saying that the woods are an opinionated place. The woods may be lovely to some, and scary to others. People may consider the woods to be lovely as they may have an interest for nature and it’s beauty. They may also like to see interesting animals, and escape from the reality of life. Some people might want to sit on a tree branch and enjoy the peace and quiet. To some people forests are a dark place, where they can escape to when they want to be alone. People may want to go to the woods to captivate their curious souls, and do something adventurous in the woodlands. Teenagers might want to play around and maybe even invite some friends to hang out with. The…

    It begins with the words, ‘Then suddenly,' this immediately tells us that something significant happened. His father died, and with his death, his mother gave up on life. There is a touch of irony in the passage, because she waited all that time for him to return and it was just a fantasy. The children knew he would never return but in all that time she clung on to that hope. Their father's death ended any reason and happiness that his mother had. The writer conveys an underlying note of blame in this paragraph. He says ‘the coldness of that which killed her.' He explains how his mother was faithful to his father, waited thirty-five years for praise, raised his family and all she expected in return was for him to return to her. In dying he also killed off any dreams for the future that she had. The writer informs us that his mother became ‘simple minded and returned to her youth.' The thin shreds of sanity that she had had finally been severed when his father died. They buried her under the end of the beech-wood, not far from her four year old daughter, this sentence tells us that when she died they buried her near to nature where she was most happy. There is a great deal of sadness in the last…

    Although when it comes to the death or the upcoming death of his father, you see this whole demeanor change, the way he writes shows a more frantic and fragile state. It is almost as if he is begging and pleading for his father to fight death, not to give up, and to continue living, not just for himself but for him as well because he is on the verge of tears. When I look at how other people look at the poem's theme and read how others have analyzed it, they pick up on the same thing but have slightly different reactions. The way Andrew Walker wrote his analysis seemed to have the same analysis when discovering the theme. However, he interpreted it differently, where the theme was somber and aggressive to me, but to Walker, it was more aggressive rather than a good mix of both.…

    Vincent Millay’s it is about how her lovers have come and gone. Which is like Bishops poem because in a way she is losing over and over again because she says “I cannot say what loves have come and gone.” Referring to the love she has lost over time because she is no longer in love with them, or she was still in love with them where they were not in love with her anymore. She then says “And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain” is stating her heart is hurting because she is lonely now reminiscing on the love she once had, and she does not have now. In this poem I strongly believe like we talked about in class is her remembering of all of her past lovers, or that she does not have anyone to love her anymore. Which is a lot like Bishops poem granted bishops poem was not all about love, but we can infer that towards the end of the poem it was. Due to the fact in the end of the poem is talking about the suicide of her lover. The love she lost and how she was not a disaster when clearly she was left in a state of loneliness just like Millay’s in her poem. Millay’s diction tells us she is lonely by stating “I have forgotten, and what arms have lain” meaning that she forgets what a lover’s arms feel…

    By reading just the title I think the poem is going to be about someone dying. I say that because of the words eulogy and veteran. The line “do not stand at my grave and weep” means don’t visit his grave and be sad. The line “I am not there, I do not sleep” means that they aren’t there; they’re not going to show up. The line “I am a thousand winds that blow” is a metaphor which is used to give feeling to the poem meaning that he’s there for his family; that he wants his family to think about him every time they feel the wind blow. The line “I am the diamond glint of snow” is also a metaphor meaning he wants his family to think of him when they see the new, shiny snow of winter. “I am the sunlight on ripened grain” is a metaphor meaning he is warmth and golden. “I am the gentle autumn rain” is also a metaphor but it means that he’s gentle and he’s there when it’s raining. “When you awaken in the mornings hush” is a reminder to the family from the veteran. “I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight” is a metaphor telling his family to think of him when they feel that uplifting rush. “I am the soft stars that shine at night” is a metaphor reminding his family to think of him when they see the stars shining at night. “I am not there, I DID NOT DIE” means that even though he’s not on earth anymore he plans to remind his family that he loves them through the little things he’s mentioned throughout the poem. I think the attitude of this poem is…

    The next element that I enjoyed from this poem is the tone that the author uses. I think there are two different tones that she is portraying, a sad tone and a stern tone. At the beginning when she is talking about the man holding is dead wife in his arms the tone seems sad. Then it changes when she is talking about the love and chivalry he is showing as well. I imagine her talking about the man’s courage in a very stern tone of voice.…

    The elements that I choose for this poem was Setting, Tone and Point of View. I think these elements represent what the poem is trying to get across the readers and what they are trying to make see how they are feeling at that certain time. Basically it is a feeling that is said, “For the definition of grief as a social emotion, it is important to distinguish between grief and separation on distress”.(Jakoby,N.R.2012).…

    "I cannot live with You", by Emily Dickinson, is an emotional poem in which she shares her experiences and thoughts on death and love. Some critics believe that she has written about her struggle with death and her desire to have a relationship with a man whose vocation was ministerial, Reverend Charles Wadsworth. She considers suicide as an option for relieving the pain she endures, but decides against it. The narrator, more than likely Emily herself, realizes that death will leave her even further away from the one that she loves. There is a possibility that they will never be together again.…
