On My Rocking Horse
In my dreams
I once again sat upon a rocking horse like in days gone by it rocked me through the skies and we went sailing by clouds and over treetops just my rocking horse and me it seemed as if the years had all melted away and I was the little laughing girl that used to love to run and play my rocking horse and me rocked on down the road we went through the forest where magical fairies and dwarfs ran about and babbling brooks shimmered in the rays of the sun that filtered through the tall pines and firs where there were mushroom houses and quiet, silent ponds with frogs singing upon lily pads my rocking horse and me enjoyed our outing when I awoke in the morning
I wondered where my rocking horse had gone wondered why

    The book All the Pretty Horses is a western drama about teenage cowboys as they transition from adolescence into manhood. The author, Cormac McCarthy, structures the book using echo words and parallel structure that links dialogue exchanges and makes the scenes flow smoothly. McCarthy is a master of this sort of repetition and uses this structure throughout the entire book. There are many examples of this used throughout the book, but the author primarily focuses on the interpersonal relationships, diversity, and change.…

    Top of the morning to you. My name is Frank McCourt and I’ve actually been forced to stand up here and talk to you about ‘belonging’. Now, the dictionary describes belonging as being a member, being related or being owned. Sounds easy right? Ha! Wrong. Belonging is complex. It is a process that requires constant reinforcement. To belong entails a quirky fusion of kinship, locality, experience and even spirituality. There is no rule book on how to belong so it must be frequently improvised. Peter Skrzynecki communicates the concept of belonging through his poems ’10 Mary Street’ and ‘In The Folk Museum’ by using such techniques as similes metaphors and person pronouns and I, Frank McCourt, communicate my ideas on belonging in my biographical novel, ‘Angela’s Ashes’, through the use of analogy and allusion.…

    It is said that one should forget the past and live in the present. However, Edwin Muir's 'Horses' is a poem of past memories only. The interesting part is that it deals with many conflicts and issues which are prevalent even today. It is thus a bridge between the past and present and is expressed in the form of a piece of literature. Muir himself said that in writing about horses in this poem, he was reflecting his childhood view of his father's plough horses, which must have seemed huge, powerful and mysterious to a boy of four or five. Some of his poems, including 'Horses', have a close equivalent in passages from his autobiography, suggesting that seeing these horses reminded him of certain events.…
