What Is The Theme Of The Poem The Star By Anna Taylor
1. My poem is The Star by Anna Taylor and for those who don’t know this The Star is actually the nursery rhyme twinkle twinkle little star. The poem being nursery rhyme, that I literally grew up listening to, it grabbed my attention the moment I saw the word twinkle. However, there were some lines that I wasn’t familiar with, especially the last ones, that might be the only part I need to memorize. Other than being a well-known nursery rhyme, basically all the lines in The Star rhyme which I think makes poems easier to remember. Lastly, The Star, for me, is one of those poems that are easy to visualize and visualizing helps the reader get more in depth with the message of author.
2. As I explained in the first paragraph The Star is a nursery

    Analysis Of Tracy K. Smith's 'Life On MARS'

    Sometimes when people think about the calming sound of a night-time melody, the catchy beat of a popular song, or simply the words in a poem that captures how you feel and you can perfectly relate to. What comes to mind when we mention a poem? Usually what people think or what people’s thoughts go to, are emotions and rhyme. I think it takes a little more of each person’s perspective into the situation, not only the writer’s but also the reader’s perspective, which is what gives that extra spark to the piece. The literary element that is the most important to bring a poem to life is imagery; it would help the reader…

    Nikki Giovani Comparing Poems

    One of my favorite poems is “poetry.” Poetry is a poem about poets using poetry to express themselves and not to impress anybody. She uses metaphors to show what poetry is, she says “A poem is pure energy.” These types of metaphors help the reader picture what the poems trying to say. She also uses personification to also have a better understanding.…

    Analysis Of Cinderella By Anne Sexton

    The one poem I found interesting was "Cinderella" by Anne Sexton. I expected the poem to just be a fancy version of the princess tale Cinderella which everyone knows that story. I expected it to be boring and everything I already knew about the fairytale. But this version was a more grim tale of the orginal. The beginning really hooks you with all the little stories about the plumber winning the sweekskates, the nursemaid marring the prince, and the milkman buying into real estate. All these people started out with nothing and unexpectly got wealthy, just like Cinderella. Throughout the story, Anne Sexton uses means of exxagartions. For example, she says " Whenever she wished for anything the dove would drop it like an egg upon the ground."…

    Promise – a Creative Response to ‘Praise Song for My Mother’

    2. Ask students whether a mother or parent could be a ‘star’ to their child? You may want to model (now or after step 4) using these ideas to write a stanza of the poem, or work collaboratively as a class to write a stanza, or ask students to work in pairs to write a short stanza and share some with the class. This will help prevent all students from following the same format as the teacher model.…

    Poetry: Poem Analysis

    The works we studied within Creative Writing were all helpful in creating my own works to submit to the class. Throughout all of the reading, many of the works inspired me in different ways, whether it was short story plot ideas or word usage in the poems. While crafting my work for the final portfolio, I reviewed many of the poems from our poetry packet in an effort to find inspiration and to create new interesting images. I took the most inspiration for my formal poem, which I found most difficult to write. One of the poems that was most useful to me was Jilly Dybka’s “Memphis, 1976.” Dybka’s poem follows the sestina form; I also wrote my last poem in this form, so it helped to follow the form by looking at her poem as an example. Dybka’s…

    What Is The Tone Of Romeo And Juliet

    The poem has 3 stanzas with 4 lines with a rhyme scheme aabbccddeeff. I believe that rhyme adds a musical element to the poem, and it is pleasing to the ear. Besides, it makes a poem easier to memorize, since the rhyme lingers in the reader's mind like a melody. “No one can contradict the fate hanging in the stars”, is used to represent that a higher authority was in control of the story.…
