What Is The Mood Of The Poem Macavity The Mystery Cat
The name of the poem that I chose is called Macavity: The Mystery Cat. I chose this poem because it has a mystery rhyme to it and I love mystery stories so I thought that this would be a very interesting poem to read.

Hidden paw is a secretive mystery cat. His power of levitation would make taker stare this is marvelous actually describing what cats are all about as they rise up vertical walls or balance on a fence.

A smile in this poem is: He sways his head from side to side with movements like a snake.

This poem is saying that there is no one like Macavity. He is a devil in disguise of a cat he

It describes in detail how the cat looked with feathers between his toes and the thud of the sand and gravel hitting the cat’s side and they scraped it into the hole by hand. The ending of the poem refers to the after math when someone comes over asks how’s your cat doing? Unknowing that he/she has passed away, even…

    Ty’s main focus in life is the animals. When the rain finally stops his first thought is of hope for the animals. “The faintest, finest, incipient stirring of hope. That’s right. Hope for the animals-and they’ve suffered, believe me cooped up in the house like that, no breath of fresh air or touch of the earth under their hoofs and paws, filthy conditions, irregular diet, lack of exercise- and hope for myself and Andrea too/“ (236) It’s apparent through the novel, the verbiage used when Ty discusses the animals that he cares greatly for them, more than he does for Andrea and even himself.…

    The Bible gives one of the earliest and most famous accounts of the origins of sin and evil. In the Book of Genesis, Adam and Eve, who at first live peacefully and without sin in the Garden of Eden, break God's only law by eating an apple from the forbidden tree. An angry God places a curse on Adam, Eve, and all future peoples so that they will now be born with original sin, thus allowing evil to enter the world. Since this ancient story, many have attempted to understand further the development of evil inside the soul of man. A literary pattern has developed which reveals the growth of evil and perverseness inside its characters in the Gothic romance. Gothic romances attempt to create effects of the frightful and perverse through displaying…

    After she and her ex-lover talk “from his neat head…rises a small balloon- but for the grace of god.” Here is the main point the writer makes. In this line, the writer illustrates and image of her previous life, enabling us to conjure and guess at her life before and wonder how wonderful it was then; because, why else would the man be so curious of her diminished state if she hadn’t changed so drastically? The composer of this poem further emphasizes her lethargic, depressed and aimless life by using coloured words such as “whine, bicker,tug,aimless.”…
