    There is one main image in the poem “A Blessing” by James Wright. The image that I see that is standing out is two nice men stepping over a barbed wire going to two ponies that are peacefully munching on grass. I felt that the was important because I felt as though it was the main focus of the poem, to get the reader to see the image. They affect myself (the reader) by putting me in a calm state of mind in a nice open field. The voice of the speaker is a young man in his twenty’s that is touring the United States just passing by Rochester. The speaker is young which creates a new experience for the speaker. The kindness and respect of the speaker creates a soft and easy tone. There is also a simile in the poem: “This is delicate as the skin…

    Flannery O’Conner demonstrates the unexpected by using foreshadowing. She uses it by describing grandmother’s attire. “’In case of an accident, anyone seeing her dead on the highway would know at once that she was a lady’”(118). Also, tragedy is being indirectly presented in the opening of the book (Bleikaster). Clearly, the grandmother predicts her own fate. The grandmother thinks it is important to be a “lady” because she is old-fashioned. Another way Flannery O’Conner uses this technique is by giving hints to the rest of the family’s death. “They passed a large cotton field with five or six graves fenced in the middle of it, like a small island”(119). This uses both foreshadowing and symbolism to give the reader a hint that the graves are for all six of the family members, including the baby. Not only did O’Conner portray foreshadowing of the grandmother and family’s death, but she also describes the conversation between the Misfit and grandmother. Flannery O’Connor usually likes to use conflict to stories, so she uses these two help develop the story’s theme (Burke). First, he is mentioned in the beginning of the story. The grandmother warned the rest of the family that a criminal was on the loose, but they still wanted to go on vacation, which, coincidently, foreshadows their encounter with the Misfit. Likewise, symbolism and foreshadowing is used again. When the family…

    Jesus performed eight particular miracles in the Gospel of John that revealed His deity. These miracles are unique to study because they all serve towards showing us that Jesus is Divine. They also show different aspects of Jesus’ divinity. Seemingly these miracles were purposeful in their intent towards showing those present with Jesus, and millions that have followed, aspects of Jesus’ power and mission. These miracles serve as a witness to all of us of Jesus’ authority. They also provide comfort when we reflect on the fact that nature, spirit and life all are in His control and hand.…

    Harry Thurston’s “Miracle” is a simple and sweet poem, which displays the usage of an extended metaphor. As the speaker is in the process of explaining to his daughter as to why she should not pick the blossom and allow it to grow, he soon regrets telling her to stop. If Thurston meant to metaphorically convey this poem as the growth of his daughter, we can safely assume that the blossom mentioned in the second line of the poem that will “turn into a strawberry” (4), represents his daughter as a toddler who will soon grow up into a beautiful young lady. From “no sooner are the words out than I regret forestalling her pleasure” (7-8), we can also assume that he regretted holding her back from her own curiosities and discoveries, his fatherly instincts to nurture and care for his daughter while she is still young could be the cause of this; it would have been his way of protecting her. It also suggests that he came to the realization that he needed to allow her to experience everything on her own and let her grow. “For what is one blossom less, and weeks to a child too long to wait” (9-10), suggests that there would have been no harm done if she were to pick a single blossom but her childhood would have been in a way harmed from not being able to satisfy her curiosity and learning from her own experiences. He realizes that as a parent, he doesn’t need to protect or teach her everything because she will eventually learn on her own. I feel as if this poem is a reminder to us that life is in a sense a “miracle” (15). It is hard to believe that something so small such as a blossom can grow into something so different such as a sweet strawberry or a toddler growing up into something new such as an adult until we see it…
