the dream of the rood

The Dream of the Rood reflection:
Section 1: Biblical illusion is used in the dream of the rood when the “dreamer” is having a dream of Jesus’ crucifixion from the roods point of you. When the author refers to Jesus, he is making a biblical illusion by using reference to either someone or a story that accord in the bible. The author also uses the repetition of the word “I” throughout his whole poem. The significance of the repetition of the word “I” is so the reader can see the “doubling” of characters and be able to tell the difference in the too.
Section 2(A): I would give my preparation an excellent because I feel i really did such an amazing job and contributed a lot of information. I think I would rate my contribution as good because I feel like I could have maybe gave more information but I think over all my contributions to the group where pretty good. The level of team worker was just astonishing; everyone really worked together and feed of each other’s ideas. Personally, I could have maybe improved the Socratic circle by maybe speaking a bit more and sharing some of the ideas that pondered in my head.
Section 2(B): I would rate my group’s preparation an excellent because everyone was very well prepared and had a lot of background information. I would rate the quality of the overall conversation of our inner circle as very good. We had a very positive conversation and people where able to feed off each other’s ideas and really help grasp meaning and concepts of things such as who the rood was and the meaning of doubling. The amount of team work displayed in the circle was excellent; everyone talked and contributed their ideas and their understanding of things, which helps other get a better view of the poem.
Section 3(A): In “The Dream of the Rood”, the author employs repetition of the word “I” to reveal “doubling” of character and to show the reader the two different speakers throughout the poem.
Section 3(B): “The

    The first line in the second stanza has a break after “words” accentuated by a comma putting emphasis on the word “words” and slowing the rhythm of that sentence. In “bravely clear” there is a reversed letter pattern “el” and “le”, which makes the words flow together. The words “child”, “night”, “some” and “small” are repeated throughout this poem perhaps to emphasize these words. There may be a connection between “child” and “thing” since both words are preceded by the word “small”. In lines ten and eleven there is internal rhyming with the words “listening”, “dreaming” and “thing” which have the same “ing” ending. The author uses alliteration in “some” and “small” which draws the two words together. In the last line there is…

    We see that the child’s innocent idealistic world is contrasted with his fear of ‘dream and darkness’. This poem gains its power through the child’s fear, which he attempts to overcome by trapping sunlight in a glass jar. The sun is used alongside biblical intertextuality as a pun to the ‘the resurrected [son]’ Jesus Christ, who throughout his life ‘blessed’ and ‘exorcised monsters’ and demons, together with ‘the [sons] disciples’. Biblical reference is further used throughout the poem to parallel the story of Jesus’ suffering and resurrection with the child‘s painful experience, causing maturation and his awakening the following day in a new consciousness.…

    This repetition of words is found within the lines “But once Thoby was allowed to steer us home. “Show them you can bring her in, my boy,” father said, with his usual trust and pride in Thoby. And Thoby took the fisherman’s place.” And “gurnard after gurnard, dab after dab” Both show a repetition of something. The first example is that of Thoby. His name is repeated in a way that shows that his actions were clearly remembered in this poem. She specifically remembers what happened with Thoby, and in a way he was one of the best parts of her trip. The second is that of fish, and simply explains how many fish were caught. It also signifies how the various fish were caught and thrown into the boat. She is writing to show that she enjoyed this as pastime, but the amount of fish is slightly…

    In the Anglo-Saxon literature, the scop has a privilege of retaining history, culture and social values of that society. In many cases the scop exercises the power to create stories which reflect the values of that society. The Rood in the ¡°The Dream of the Rood¡± also tells a story of which affects its society and people. The existence of this witness that reports the suffering and the glorification of Christ proves necessary for the people to believe.

    In lines 146-149, the dreamer is reminded of how mankind has been delivered from their sins. Jesus’ suffering brought the dreamer to be optimistic and hopeful for a better life after death. “Hope was made new/ and blossomed with bliss to those burning in fire”. This line refers to the Harrowing of Hell; after Jesus’ death on the cross, He descended into hell from which he released certain souls, conducting them into heaven. Hope was given to those who had lost it and felt were doomed to burn in the fires of hell; to those who felt unworthy to be in the site of God, not having the courage to ask for forgiveness of their sins. The act of Jesus’ crucifixion…

    The poem creates the theme of eternal love by using words drawn from fairytales, and multisyllabic words with a religious meaning. Additionally, images evoke loss and sadness. For example, “night” is the time when most of the events occur; the narrator gives the reader sense of a sad world. The repetition and rhyme of “Annabel Lee,” “me,” and “sea” also reinforce the tight link between the narrator, his lost love, and the sea. Finally, the ballad’s peaceful and pleasing rhythm created by anapests and iambs, “It was ma/ny and…
