Transportation Lee: A Poem Analysis Of Annabelle Lee
The title of this poem is Annabelle Lee. This story a little creepy and also has love in it. The narrators love for Annabelle Lee is endless for her. He uses imagery to try and make us visualize how he loves her. He also repeats or gives you a hint of how much he loves her. It keeps going throughout the poem.

I'm the first stanza, the narrator introduces Annabelle Lee. He explains how everything starts off, like where they lived and how they lived. He explains how no one could love her as much as he did. He uses imagery in the first stanza by explaining where they are at and by who Annabelle Lee is. To me in the beginning of the poem it seems like everything is going just fine until it gets creepy.

I'm the poem they fell in love

    Sandra Lim: Poem Analysis

    Stanford and University of California alumni Sandra Lim reads from The Wilderness on April 7, 2015, at Prairie Lights. As an alumna from the International Writing Program Lim was making her return back to Iowa City after 11 years. In The Wilderness Lim reads a collection of poems about love, spring and one poem that caught my attention was about the individual struggle of one's body within one’s mind. The poems are open to many interpretations but that is the way that I chose to interpret that poetry in particular. The interesting thing about Lim’s poem is how describes the body parts in some of her poems. It is very vague. It almost makes me feel a little bit uncomfortable but at the same time, I really like her style. The way she describes…

    Summary Of Tina Jones's Poem Tracks

    "Tracks" by Tina Jones made me think about my insecurities and problems I deal with as a woman and a person of color. In her poem she mentioned different levels of discrimination, insecurities and segregation that I could all relate to, but a quote that I related to the most was, "A generation of beautiful black women. Born and bred to believe that beauty belongs to everyone but them, so they dye and fry and try to fit in." Unfortunately, these insecurities that the media and society forces on us are reasons why black women damage their hair and wear weaves to disguise themselves to endeavor the impossible definition of perfection and respect. Without her saying it, I believe she didn't like school and was somewhat scared to go for many reasons.…

    The poem is written in first person narrative. It has 6 stanzas of 8 lines: One stanza each on the narrator, the Lord and Kate; stanza 4 contrasts the position of the narrator and Kate; stanza 5 criticises Kate and stanza 6 focuses on the narrator’s triumph at having a child. Each stanza is the same length and each line has a similar rhythm, giving it a ballad-like feel.

    Quinceañera by Judith Ortiz Cofer: Freewrite

    Upon reading the poem, imagery can be found throughout the entire poem. For example, in the first two lines you can imagine a doll being put away like a dead child in a chest, you cannot bring a dead child back to life. This is the burial of her childhood only to keep her memories and carry them with her for the rest of her life. Also, the second to last line where she is “wound,” twisted, “like the guts of a clock,” referring to her stomach. She feels a sense of anxiety here. This is her final emotion to conclude the poem. She fears growing up because of the responsibilities she will have to take on, the shame she felt when her period started, will…

    Quoth the Raven (the Raven Poem Explication)

    Poe primarily uses dialogue, rhythm, and repetition to communicate the theme to the readers. The poem is from the first person perspective, making the man the narrator. It is through his inner dialogues and his conversation with the Raven that we get the bulk of the poem. The progression of the poem is portrayed through the dialogue, with the beginnings of the conversation between the man and the Raven being more civil, to them ending in complete hysterics. The strong shift as the man develops new thoughts on the Raven (at first he is of the Raven is a prophet, but his mind as changed to it being a ‘wretch’ and a ‘thing of evil’) is communicated by the poet almost completely through the dialogue. The ending, and the revelation of the theme, is shown through the thoughts of the man, an inner dialogue. The rhythm of the poem is in trochaic octometer, meaning the syllables are in the following pattern: “stressed, unstressed, stressed, unstressed…” The second and third last lines of each stanza rhyme every time, and sometimes repetition is employed, communicating the importance of certain elements; the word “Lenore” is used as the last word in the second and third last lines of the second stanza, for instance. After the Raven appears, the last line of each stanza ends with “more” (“nothing…

    Thematic And Tonal Echoes Of Annabel Lee

    Finally, one of the major overarching themes presented throughout both pieces of literature is love versus death and everlasting love. This is portrayed in Annabel Lee when Poe states, “That the wind came out of the cloud by night, chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.” After Poe affirms Annabel’s death, he continues to speak of his love and passion for her just as Humbert does for Lolita right before he dies. This is a theme that is also seen in many other literary pieces and proves that love can be everlasting, even when death is a…

However, in their views of love, namely the loss and mourning of beautiful women, they differ greatly. Through analysis of the two poems, the reader observes that whom Poe had chosen for a speaker, the tone and the sound effects are all factors in both poems that make two poems with a similar theme contrast.…

    Crossing the Swamp

    The first thing that is very noticeable is the narrative structure. The speaker provides us with the image of the character’s footsteps through the structure of the poem, which indicates the struggle that he is going through. He uses gaps and indents throughout the poem to express his movement in the swamp and how he moves from one side to the other in order for him to be able to free himself from this struggle. The syntax of the poem cannot be described as stanzas or paragraphs, because the poem itself is one broken stanza which depicts the character’s misery while moving in the swamp.…

    First off, imagery is strongly used in this poem. The authors purpose is to show the love the father has for his son as well as his fears. In a couple lines throughout the story we see some examples of imagery; a “five-year-old son” waits in his father’s lap until he hears another story. A room is “full” with all the books in the world, but the father hesitates and “rubs his chin” instead. The imagery of father’s love for his son is so strong that even though the room is full of books, he still can’t decide which one to read for his son. However, behind all the love that a father has for his child, the father begins to fall into a deep thinking of his son “giving up” on him. In the fourth stanza, Lee continues to create a vivid image of the son leaving his dad’s side. “The alligator story”, “the angel story”, and “the spider story” couldn’t even stop his young son from “packing his shirts”. The father yells and shouts “Don’t go!” without realizing that his undefinable love has turned into an obsession that suddenly makes himself a failure for watching his son leave. The images of the father chasing his son who has just walked out prove the tragic cycle of growing up as well as the father’s nature to love his son. It wasn’t the nameless story that the father couldn’t figure out that made the father “silent”, but his uncontrolled love for his son that made him “scream” and wonder if he can ever become a “god” who…

    Syntax In Annabel Lee

    Poe intentionally does not describe Annabel Lee throughout the poem to allow the reader to come up with the image that they want. This image is typically to show that the love is impossible and that he can not have the love that he desires because she is taken away by darkness. The author gives us a little knowledge about his love, he tells us that she is a maiden, which represent the kingdom well. Then he states that “whom you may know” from this we inquire that she is famous and high up in the kingdom. This again brings us…
