Analysis Of The Poem The Nerdy Students
In my poem The Nerdy Students, I used the writing techniques which are tone, imagery, irony and descriptive detail to help the reader understand the situation and the pilgrim. I used negative tone in the poem to show the hard struggle that the nerd students faces before taking the tests, In my poem I told, “They want to study for the wicked test,\ so that the smart students can be the best.” (Patel, 7-8). I wanted to show that the nerd students studies a lot in order to get good grades. Nerd students cares more about the grades than anything else. I used imagery to give reader a visual of the daily routine of a nerd student. In my poem I said, “They are ready for one class after another,\ carrying big and heavy loads of books rather \ than

    While in the poem “We Real Cool” the syntaxes are used in a different way than in “Sign for My Father, Who Stressed the Bunt”. I believe the breaks are more evident and have a bigger impact on how the story is told than the syntaxes in the other poem. The breaks impact the way the reader reads the poem and the pauses let you stop and think about each stanza. I believe that the presence of the syntaxes in each line in the poem put an emphasis on what they do to make them believe that they are “cool”. The breaks demonstrate that each specific thing that this group does to consider themselves cool is equally impactful, “We real cool. We / Left school” (1-2). The syntaxes also add to the structure of the poem and allow it to have that song type…

    The poem “We Real Cool” has more then the themes and literary devices given in this essay the strongest one is pride and its consequences. This theme is strongly supported because of the way words and irony are applied. The author wrote this poem after seeing young kids in a pool hall on a school day. They were listening to jazz music and that is why there is the jazzy tune that is in it. She describes that they might look cool by being in a dimmed room it is nothing like actually being cool. This poem is her most famous poem but she is pained since she knows that her poem is the truth. This truth assists the reader to think about the consequences of every detail and to see if they are worth it or not.…

    When it comes to playing the proverbial, "game," even Einstein knew that knowing the rules was not enough. I believe that in order to truly succeed in any endeavor, one has to apply their knowledge practically, be willing take risks, and operate proactively.

    We’ve recently been analyzing the themes of a novel and a poem in our language arts class. The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton and “Nothing Gold Can Stay” by Robert Frost are two very interesting pieces of literature. The Outsiders is a novel that talks about the divided community of a city, the “Socs” and the “Greasers”, and describes their rivalry and the problems caused by it. “Nothing Gold Can Stay” is a poem that uses themes in nature to explain that good things don’t always last forever. Chapter three of the novel and the whole of the poem share that very theme- Good things don’t last, so cherish them while you can.…

    The Carousel music serves as a symbol of untouchable childhood memories that will never change even when you grow up. When Holden and Phoebe get closer to the Central Park Carrousel, Holden hears the Carrousel music; “It played that same song about fifty years ago when I was a little kid” (Salinger 231). The hyperbole of “fifty years” represents Holden's love of childhood which for him seems so long ago. Holden misses his childhood and all that comes with it. Holden is saying that his childhood was “fifty years ago” because now he has to be an adult and take on responsibility. The repetition of playing the same song reflects the carrousel going around and around, which illustrates Holden staying in one place with his life. This depicts that…

    The "One Girl at the Boys Party" uses a mathematical metaphor throughout the poem. I believe this is to portray how members of the opposite sex at a young age are as complicated as math problems to each other. Mathematics is considered a universal language, but that is only if you understand it. The poem is seen from the eyes of a mother after she drops her daughter off at a pool party, and because of the mothers age and experience, she is able to understand the complexities that go on between the boys and the one girl there, and is able to calculate the situation to get a deeper understanding of their interaction through a mathematics equation.…

    The works we studied within Creative Writing were all helpful in creating my own works to submit to the class. Throughout all of the reading, many of the works inspired me in different ways, whether it was short story plot ideas or word usage in the poems. While crafting my work for the final portfolio, I reviewed many of the poems from our poetry packet in an effort to find inspiration and to create new interesting images. I took the most inspiration for my formal poem, which I found most difficult to write. One of the poems that was most useful to me was Jilly Dybka’s “Memphis, 1976.” Dybka’s poem follows the sestina form; I also wrote my last poem in this form, so it helped to follow the form by looking at her poem as an example. Dybka’s…
