This creates more of a dramatic and unrealistic appeal, but brings more emphasis and expression to their writing. There are many different arguments that could be used the highlight the meaning in poetry.

    Annabel Lee and the Raven Comparison

    <br>With insistent meter and captivating rhyme schemes, Edgar Allan Poe's "Annabel Lee" and "The Raven" are both very similar. However, in their views of love, namely the loss and mourning of beautiful women, they differ greatly. Through analysis of the two poems, the reader observes that whom Poe had chosen for a speaker, the tone and the sound effects are all factors in both poems that make two poems with a similar theme contrast.…

    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.

    My Dear and Loving Husband Essay Example

    Two specific techniques are used to convey the idea of how the woman in the poem feels about her husband and how she expresses her feelings. These two techniques are rhyming and repetition. The use of rhyming gives the poem a flow to go by. Every last word of a line rhymes with the following last word to create a greater effect of what is being tried to say. The rhymed words give the poem an accent helping to capture the romanticism of the poem. Repetition is seen in the first three lines of the poem when the speaker says, "If ever." The use of these words over and over again show how the speaker feels that it is near impossible to find another love such as the one she has at the moment. These two techniques give the poem an atmosphere of true love and compassion.…

    Comparing Sir Walter Raleigh's "The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd" to Christopher Marlowe's "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love"

    Sir Walter Raleigh created "The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd" as a response to Christopher Marlowe's "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love". In "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love", the Shepherd used puns and other hidden sexual images in an attempt to trick the Nymph into performing sexual acts with him. The Shepherd attempted to persuade the Nymph into believing that he would give her the various presents and pleasures that he described, but in reality his gifts were really only comprised of sexual implications. However, the Nymph was exceptionally intelligent and she trusted her intuition and was able to foresee the Shepherd's hidden seductions. She was so intelligent and cunning that she hastily rejected the Shepherd's proposal by using the Shepherd’s exact words from his request.…

    Othello

    In the poems written by Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s “Ulysses” and “Odysseus” written by W.S. Merwin we can compare and contrast both poems. In Tennyson’s “Ulysses” and in Merwin’s “Odysseus” they are talking about the same person, Odysseus. But the poems are also different because, Tennyson’s poem is about Odysseus talking about how his son would be a better fit king than he was, and that he would rather sail to find another world. In Merwin’s poem Odysseus talks about his journeys from one island to the other and how he is still sailing and trying to get home. So how can we compare and contrast both poems? Easy, because one poem is written about Odysseus and his adventures he encounters while trying to get back home. The poem “Ulysses” written by Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s, explains that Odysseus would rather much be happier sailing and searching for new lands, rather than just be the king of his homeland. Are there similarities and also differences between both poems, I believe there is and will explain why.…

    Compare & Contrast - a Daughter Leaving Home

    The poems are different in form. In "To a Daughter Leaving Home”, Linda Pastan uses open form, with no identifiable rhyme pattern or meter. Maybe there’s no identifiable pattern because these are just the mother’s random thoughts. On the other hand “At the San Francisco Airport”, Yvor Winters uses a closed form that is very distinctive. There are five stanzas and each stanza has five lines. All the lines rhyme; three have one rhyming ending and the other two also have a rhyming ending. For example: "This is the terminal: the light/Gives perfect vision, false and hard;/The metal glitters, deep and bright./Great planes are waiting in the yard-/They are already in the night”. Light, bright and night rhyme, as well as hard and yard. Maybe the author chose the closed form because of its structure, controlled and intact, just like he wanted to keep feelings.…
