    Ocd Neil Hilborn Analysis

    The poets have recited in their own gestures and tones with different types of emotion to deliver the message to their audience. In Neil Hilborn’s “OCD,” Hilborn expresses himself of how it is like to live with having obsessive-compulsive disorder. With the disorder he lives with he shows how much it affected him. First he went from being obsess with objects to falling in-love with a girl. So, the way he shows his emotion to the audience is furious throughout the whole way. Hilborn expresses himself this way to show how his obsessive-compulsive disorder has affected his love for her. For example, when he says "She told me she shouldn't have let me get attached to her, that this whole thing was a mistake, but how can it be…

    Poetry Analysis: "Conjoined" vs "Most Like an Arch This Marriage"

    People often dream of finding the perfect soul mate…a special someone with similar hopes and goals for their future. They dream of someone to share the good and bad times with them. They dream of a person that will love them unconditionally until death parts them. And although I seriously doubt anyone has ever said the sacred marriage vows to another while believing the union would not last forever, the high divorce rate shows that more and more, marriages are failing and separation is highly probable. It’s not clear why some marriages are successful and why some fail, but after reading the two poems, “Most Like an Arch This Marriage” and “Conjoined”, it’s crystal clear to me that marriage can indeed be either dream come true, or a living nightmare. In fact, it’s also quite possible for one partner to be happy in a marriage and the other one to be completely miserable. In this analysis, I plan on comparing the two poems, their similarities as well as their differences and how the poets used various writing techniques to illustrate their ideas on the marriage theme they have written about.…

    A Woman Mourned By Daughters Analysis

    In both poems the speakers realized the fragility of life when they heartbroken face the fact of losing their parents. In “A Woman Mourned by Daughters” the author of this poem made the daughters the speaker and the mother the auditor. In “do not go gentle into that good night” he talks about his father, who was dying. In “A woman mourned by Daughters” speaker makes you feel sorry for the mother, perhaps in other hand, she also feels sorry for the daughters. The mother was died and leave alone her daughters with remaining all burdens. The daughters went through all this and have to live with it for the rest of their lives. "You are swollen till you strain this house and the whole sky" (Rich 4-5). That is why, the mood was sound like little…

    Comparison of the Story of an Hour and a Sorrowful Woman

    Comparison of the Story of an Hour and a Sorrowful Woman

    In "A Sorrowful Woman" the wife is depressed with her life, so much so, "The sight of them made her so sad and sick she did not want to see them ever again"(p.1). This wife and mother has come to detest her life, the sight of her family, and withdraws into a deep depression. The “wife” is unhappy in her life because she wants more than to be just a wife and mother. She wants a life outside the home but doesn’t know how to get it, so she blames her existing life and family. This unhappiness goes against society’s view that a woman should be satisfied being a wife and mother. Proof of the stereotypical relationship is the husband character. It’s not that he is written as dislikeable, but rather likable, strong, and completely in control, “He managed everything"(p.3). He never gets mad; he makes no demands of her to improve. He enables her “sickness” by preparing her “medication,” hiring help, and keeping her child away. He, however, never takes on an active role to help her. He doesn’t communicate with her. He doesn’t get her physiological help. He makes no attempt to prove her value to him, the child, or the house. Clearly he believes he’s in control. Her depression turns into anger with her life. She blames her family and acts out, "After supper several nights later, she hit the child. She had known she was going to do it when the father would see"(p. 2). In the end, she knows her life isn’t enough, but it isn’t the family’s fault. She goes to the kitchen and…

    I Only Did This to Finish Reading a Paper

    The thing that makes both of the poems alike is that they both serve the same purpose in explaining the lives of two different people but the common chain between the both of them is that one is young and the other is old. The both of them play off of each other in the sense that the poem about the younger generation who are rushing through their lives skipping school, staying out late shooting pool and dying before their time. While in the old one, the men are enjoying their lives and living it to the fullest knowing they are not going to live forever.…

    What My Lips Have Kissed Analysis

    The two poems I chose to write about are Elizabeth Bishops “One Art” and “What my lips have kissed” by Edna St. Vincent Millay’s. I chose both of these because they both in a way are describing love, and loss for something or someone. Even though they do not come right out and say it, both poems deal with love and the loss they have experienced. In Bishops poem she talks about how losing comes at ease and how nothing that has been lost has been disastrous. However, in the last stanza of her poem I believe she is talking about the loss of her lover and her talking about it in her poem is how she is coping. She says “may look like (Write it!) like disaster” in the last stanza of her poem is how I believe she is coping with the loss of her lover.…

    The Seafarer And The Wife's Lament

    The main character committed a sin in the eyes of the people and was sentenced with banishment from the land. As a result, the woman was refrained from ever returning to her homeland to find love. The woman had to live the rest of her life with a void in her heart created by exile. The woman could not fight against the people for her right to stay because, at that day in age, men had more power over women. The exiled woman had no way of overruling the people’s decision. The reader/listener may or may not feel sorrow toward the character in “The Wife’s Lament,” because there can be different outlooks on the situation. One may feel justice was rightfully served, while others may feel as if the woman’s situation was misunderstood, and she was wrongfully accused of her crime. Whichever way the positions are perceived, the exile was forced upon the woman, and isolation was…

    In the conclusion both poems are very different from each other, but both convey the same family related problems with their siblings. Guilt, regret and frustration are some of the feelings shown in both poems, showing the unhappy event in the sibling relationships. In context, Andrew Forster usually refers his poems to everyday objects and experiences, this is shown in Brothers. The thought of “ambled” “wind milled and “spouting” are some of the words he uses to describe feelings or movements. Also In context,…
