Analyzing The Circle Poem '
The circle poem starts with the word costume because if it wasn’t for the ham costume Scout wore, she could have died. The wires that held the ham costume up prevented Bob Ewell from stabbing Scout. After costume and ham, meat was next because ham is a meat and you chop meat with a knife. Bob Ewell had a knife on that night which he meant to use to kill Scout and Jem for revenge against Atticus, but his scenario backfired him and he ended up dead. The event of Ewell’s death left many secrets hidden and one can only guess with happened that night. Who killed Bob Ewell? Or did he from his own clumsiness? Those secrets will be hidden forever and may be a disguise for other worse secrets, which then leads back to costume because a costume is a

    From Eden Poem Analysis

    • 1070 Words

    Much like poetry, “Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.” Music and poetry are two platforms in which artists from the beginning of time have chosen to circulate their ideas, feelings, and opinions. Although different in popularity, these mediums are alike in various ways. Nonetheless, not every song you hear on the radio can be properly analyzed using procedures that you would follow to evaluate poetry. A song has to contain certain literary elements essential to poetry, such as the song “From Eden” by Hozier, in order for it to be analyzed. Hozier is recognized for his sentimental lyrics and use of poetic elements to add musicality and rhythm to his music. Through symbolism, repetition, and…

    During the Finch children’s return from the Maycomb pageant, where Scout performed as a ham, Bob snuck behind Scout and Jem and attacked the two children. Scout illustrates their fear, saying, “...I fell to the ground and rolled as far as I could, floundering to escape my wire prison. From somewhere near by came scuffling, kicking sounds, sounds of shoes and flesh scraping dirt and roots… More scuffling, and there came a dull crunching sound and Jem screamed.” (Lee 262). This is a repercussion of Atticus’ drive to represent his client to the fullest extent because Bob Ewell’s idea of stealing back the pride Atticus took from him is to take what Atticus cares for most-- his children. Lastly, the aggressive acts set in motion by Mr. Ewell who was provoked by Mr. Finch’s fight for Mr. Robinson resulted in Bob Ewell’s death. Bob is injured badly by the scuffle he began, and dies because of a stab wound. This is, indirectly, Atticus’ fault because if he hadn’t put his effort into the case he was given, then Bob wouldn’t have attacked the children, and if Bob hadn’t attacked the children, Arthur wouldn’t have helped the children and murdered Mr. Ewell.…

    Roadblocks: Poem Analysis

    Many writers on their venture to becoming great, are faced with roadblocks. I too feel those stresses. When sitting down to begin a story, novel, or poem we all strive to be different. But as Baldwin explains, "there is no original thought, because we all humans think and feel has been thought and felt so many times before, by so many generations." This in itself makes starting writing a very daunting task. Not to mention the sea of fellow authors you are competing with for limited shelf space. A trip to a jam packed bookstore reiterates this feeling instantaneously. Really, what sets the writer apart is the original perspective and finding out what shape to give it to really hold the readers attention. This can all be achieved through the power in…

    To Kill a Mockingbird is a story about the narrator’s childhood growing up in a vapid neighborhood in Maycomb County, Alabama. The narrator is Jean Louise Finch, Scout, and her brother Jem always enjoy playing with Dill, who comes from Mississippi to spend the summer with one of Jem and Scout’s neighbors. Scout’s dad is Atticus. His vocation was a lawyer and state legislator; he is very well respected throughout the county. One day while Scout was walking home after her easy first grade school day, she sees tinfoil in the knothole of a tree in the infamous Radley Place. She removes the tinfoil and reveals a wad of chewing gum which she promptly puts in her mouth. On the last day of school she finds Indian-Head pennies in the same knothole. Over the summer, Dill and Jem distance themselves from Scout to plan a way to get Boo Radley out of the house. There are many theories or legends about the Radleys and nobody truly fathoms why Boo Radley stays in the house all day but one theory is that he is an extremely devoted Baptist that he is too worried about his next life (heaven or hell) that he forgets to live his current life. But then on Dill’s last day in Maycomb, Dill, Jem and Scout embark at night to peek through the window. But a large shadow creeps up on them and they bolt for the fence and hear a shotgun go off behind them. Jem’s pants got caught in fence when they fled and when Jem goes back to get them later that night, and they were sloppily stitched up and folded on the top of the fence. Then as school start they find grey twine, two soap figures that resemble Jem and Scout, more chewing gum, a spelling bee medal, and an old pocket watch on separate occassions. One day the hole is filled with cement and Nathan Radley said that he plugged it because the tree was dying.…

Bob Ewells, the offsetting man who attacked Jem and Scout, held a harrowing grudge against Atticus for exasperating him in court, and he winded up being killed. Scout uses that recognition and awareness for future reference for herself and others, to forgive, and forget. Equally as important, Scout took as example from her prudent older brother and Boo Radley in this ghastly attack, to invariably look after one another. During the attack, Jem told Scout to run leading up the attack, and Boo shot Bob in order to save the lives of the virtuous children.

She now seizes the realization that Dill, Jem, and her all misjudged Boo Radley altogether before ever meeting him. Scout takes away from this involvement to never misconceive someone before getting to know them. Scout learns various influential and vital life lessons due to the attack after the Halloween…

    The central focus of this lesson is composition, which students will achieve through writing an acrostic poem about one of the four seasons. The main purpose of using sensory details, to brainstorm descriptive words, will enhance the students’ writing. For example, using the word “sizzling” instead of “hot.” DeVries (2015) states, “Acrostic poems are formed by writing a single word or short phase vertically and using its letters to start the horizontal lines of the poem” (p. 319). By incorporating the essential literacy strategy, acrostic poems, students are practicing their writing and organizational skills.
