The Wound Dresser Analysis
When reading through the two poems, there are many obvious aspects that can be observed that make them different. For instance, right away we see that Longfellow's poem has a rhyme scheme within each stanza. Although each stanza does not have the exact same type of rhyme scheme, there is a consistent flow between each of the verses given. As for Whitman's “The Wound Dresser”, there happens to be no type of rhyme scheme within the stanzas. Also, while on the topic of stanzas, Whitman’s vary with the amount verses that go into each one. While Longfellow's consistently contains a flow of about seven lines within each stanza. Though there are no obvious patterns within Whitmans poem, there is a sense of possible alliterations used within some

    As I read selected Walt Whitman’s poems I felt as if I was reading unfinished work. For example in the poem, “When I Heard the Learned Astronomer” it was very clear on what he was talking about. However, it felt to me as if he had received writers block. The poem could have gone on for a couple of more stanzas. I am no poem expert, but I feel as if the poem could have gotten into more details about the stars, and the astronomer. However, that is just me. Another one of his poems, “I Hear America Singing” was another beautifully written piece. However, once again, I felt as if it was not finished. He goes through each occupation with ease and briefly gives an overview of what they “sing.” To me, Whitman would have made an intriguing poem if…

    Professional tattoos causes the breakage of the skin, triggering the automatic response of wound healing. Otherwise the standard removal of ink using laser can produce scars depending on the depth of the colour. Scarring tissue heavily involves fibroblasts and the specialised myofibroblast role is to replace the ECM components. The scarring and aging of the skin results in increase friction and declined mechanical properties-compression, tension and elasticity (Richard Wong). Wound healing can be described as a ‘sophistically regulated process that involves inflammation, new tissue formation and remodelling’ (Nyman 2015).…

    The speaker generates different moods in the course of the poem by a shift of tone of voice. Although the poem is written in one single stanza, we can clearly see that there is a division between the first half compared to the second half of the poem. There are specific word choice sequences that support the voice shift. The :proofs;, :figures;, :columns;, :charts;, :diagrams; are all words that imply the dry, stale connotation of the lecturer. The lecturer, by :[dividing], and [measuring]; things, turns the speaker :tired and sick;. After this, word choice sequence changes to make the rest of the poem into a dreamier tone. Whitman describes how the speaker :[glides] out; and :[wanders]; off by himself in the :mystical; night to silently gaze up at the stars. With words that offer different connotations, Whitman achieves the immediate effect of how scientific deciphering of nature cannot compare to self- experience and observation.…

    In this essay, I am going to discuss traditional and contemporary wound dressings and management techniques. I will be comparing the traditional dressings with today’s current modern dressing. When choosing a dressing many circumstances have to be accessed as what type of wound is it? This makes it a lot harder on which dressing should be used as there are so many different types available today. Many that are used in the veterinary practice are in fact used by humans.…

    Walt Whitman's "To A Locamotive in Winter" and Emily Dickinson's "I Like to See It Lap The Miles" are two very different poems about the same subject. Where Whitman uses strictly free verse, Dickinsons work is much more structured, with poynient line breaks, and punctuation. Their styles of personification also differ greatly. Where Whitman's work is almost an ode to the locomotive, Dickinson's is more a feeling of a journey. Another major difference in these works is the language they use. Where Whitman uses "old english" with thee and thy, Dickinson uses a fairly modern vocabulary.…

    Some of the most obvious differences between the two poets is the link of their poems as well as the punctuation. Walt Whitman’s poems were lengthy and complex as well as continuously revised e.g. “Leaves of Grass,” which had multiple revisions. Dickinson, in turn, wrote much shorter poems, with the complexity lying within the many paradoxes of her…

    It is a tendency for poets to express individual thought to manifest a particular view, usually commenting on humanity. In doing so, poets cause us to reflect on our nature which then contributes in establishing a link between us and the poem. In his collection of poems titled Leaves of Grass, Walt Whitman exposes us to his view towards humans and nature through the recurring idea of connectedness in several of his poems. Thematically, Whitman seems to equate all humans to each other and suggests that humans and nature derive from the equivalent creative force and thus are all interconnected. The thesis, “although Whitman may seem to celebrate and sympathize the selfless connectedness of humanity and nature, his poetry implicitly reveals an egotistical poet, enamoured with himself”, is a valid evaluation of Whitman’s poetry only to a reasonably small extent. This is because by “egotistical poet, enamoured with himself”, the thesis assumes that the poetry’s sole focus in more on the poet rather than his overall purpose and Whitman’s intent is not to reveal his egotistical self but to extend to a broad audience as he demonstrates with evidence of poetic techniques like repetition, namely anaphora and pronoun use, and cataloging. At first, Whitman’s poetry seems as though it reveals his egotistical self, but the thesis is not entirely a valid evaluation of all his poems because Whitman actually writes so that his audience is inclusive, so that he is enamoured not only with himself but with all humans and nature. In his poem “Crossing Brooklyn Ferry”, Whitman employs repetition to express the idea that all humans are…

    When people say Whitman has no style, they are making a statement about his adherence to conventional standards of poetic form. Style, though, is something completely personal, not conventional. Whitman went outside of the conventional boundaries of poetic expression because he never followed the standards in rhyme and stanza form. Without a doubt they have, that defines them as great poets and gives them style. Whitman’s greatness lies in his divergence from what is normal, his individuality, not his strict adherence to the rules of past poets.…
