John Fire Lame Deer was a Sioux Indian tribal leader, medicine man, rodeo clown, and storyteller amongst other things. A selection from his autobiography Seeker Of Visions: The Life Of A Sioux Medicine Man titled “Talking to the Owls and Butterflies” is a short piece regarding nature and man’s relationship with it. The piece was intended to make an impression on white people in order to help salvage what is remaining in the environment.

Every author models and constructs his/her work based on experiences and journeys throughout their life. With a childhood and adolescence plagued by deaths of those close to him, Edgar Allan Poe focuses much of his pieces on the deceased. His poem “The Raven” concentrates on the encounter of a widower and a raven. Questioning the raven regarding his late wife Lenore, the man does not receive the responses he is longing for, forming a sinister tone towards the perception of death. Meanwhile, “Annabel Lee”, originally published in 1849, focuses on the beauty of life and death through the eyes of a young man concerning the passing of his childhood love. While his poems contain similar subject matter, Edgar Allan Poe uses diction and tone…

Our speaker describes the raven as a large, majestic, bird, that resembles in its appearance ones that could be found long ago, in noble times. It refused to give deference or veneration to anyone, and kept shifting and moving around, before finally perching on the bust of Greek Titan Pallas, god of battle and warcraft. This, at first, brought a much-needed amusement to our speaker, which was due to the resemblance of the solemn expression on the raven’s face to serious and relentless regard towards etiquette and keeping up good behaviour. Perhaps that look comically reminded our speaker of the disciplined behavior of humans.…
“The Two Brother” is a poem which uses natural speech rhythms, tone and informal language is used to create an understanding with the reader. Reader is shown the brother’s cruelty but is also shown their brittleness and insecurity. The brothers’ cruelty is connected with their gender. This is shown in line 3-5 which says, “Had shown me themselves, grinning queerly as when they’d shown me lizards they’d killed, or sparrows they’d slowly bled with a needle.” These lines show vivid and disturbing images of boys’ violence, this is then enhanced by alliteration of the word ‘S’ in “sparrows they’d slowly bled.” In the lines, “shown me themselves” implies that such violence is a characteristic of being a male in our society. This idea of cruelty being a part of male’s characteristic in our society is shown again in line 13 which says, “Would dare each other any taste, any soft clot, any ugly act.” This line tells the reader that the brother’s would do anything and challenge each other for dominance which also implies that these characteristics of challenging each other for dominance is a part of a male’s life. In the last stanza the reader is given the idea that the brothers haven’t achieved anything and that the reader should feel pity for the brothers rather than looking at them as wrong, heartless human beings. This is shown by persona saying “Touched themselves through the emptiness of their pockets, scared they’d find the prize of nothing.” This quote evokes sympathy for the brothers through the word choice “emptiness” and “prize of nothing”.…
