The speaker starts with the loss of ordinary‚ everyday things and gradually moves to the bigger things‚ such as the loss of her significant other. While the speaker claims that losing is something she has long since mastered‚ by the end of the poem‚ we can see that losing her sweetheart did affect her‚ regardless of

“Howl” “Howl” by Allen Ginsburg has many distinctive themes. The most distinctive theme I found in the poem is that society does not see good people by who they are on the inside‚ but by how well they conform to the norm. Both the poem itself and the movie Howl help contribute evidence to this theme. The movie also helped me understand the poem with its images and audio. Evidence from the text that would allow me to arrive at this theme comes from every section of the poem. The poem starts out saying

Edgar Allen Poe is regarded as one of the most influential writers of short stories known to man. Particularly known for his horror stories‚ Poe kept the reader guessing until the last word on the page. I would like to compare and contrast two of his well-known stories‚ “The Black Cat” and “The Cask of Amontillado”. First‚I would like to state that both of these stories are riddled with irony. The narrator in each is played to be a very untrustworthy‚ sneaky person who we are not intended to totally

Last Night that She Lived After evaluating my perception of The Last Night that She Lived‚ by Emily Dickinson. The message in this poem is we take life for granted and we don’t appreciate it until we are threatened with losing it. Emily used what seems to me as free verse with no apparent rhyme but alliteration at times. This is a Narrative poem that tells a story about a death of a young woman. In the first verse Dickinson was saying when she wrote‚ "The last Night that She lived

Between the reading of both Big Sur by Jack Kerouac and Howl by Allen Ginsberg‚ I believe Howl was more shocking to the establishment of the 1950’s. In the opening of Ginsberg poem‚ he writes‚ “I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness‚ starving hysterical naked‚ dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix.” (1356) I believe he was speaking towards the social problems being faced within the 50’s alone in his piece. As long as I’ve been alive‚ I’ve

The two poems‚ “Slam‚ Dunk & Hook” and “Fast Break” both capture the attention of the audience by describing basketball as a game of imagery versus a game of athleticism. In‚ “Fast Break” by Edward Hirsch‚ the author uses vivid diction. Hirsch states‚ “to see an orange blur” (Hirsch). This describes the basketball as a flowing object. His tone is very easy going at this point in the poem. He uses vivid imagery to show that basketball is an art and it isn’t always about the fans and the players but
