reference to both themes and language found in the poetry of W B Yeats on your course. “Easter 1916” is a prime example of how Yeats uses striking language to create poetry that has both personal reflection and public commentary. I was impressed by the clever structure of the poem. It has four stanzas‚ two containing sixteen lines and two containing twenty-four lines‚ thus commemorating the date of the Easter rising (24th April 1916). I also admired Yeats for having the humility to admit that he

Huff 1 English 102 TEACHER NAME HERE 2 October 2012 Analyzation of Rebellion: Good or Bad? William Butler Yeats’s poems "Easter 1916" and "The Second Coming" each portray the theme of rebellion. However‚ rebellion is not always heroic and these two poems clash with one another to prove this point. "Easter 1916" contains text which presents rebellion as a positive action; whereas‚ "The Second Coming" makes the reader believe rebellion only leads to pure chaos and disorder until the end of

Yeats’ poems Easter 1916 and The Second Coming are no exception. Yeats’ poetic form‚ language and use of poetic techniques; such as juxtaposition‚ allusion‚ and extended metaphors‚ alert audiences to both the inner and physical conflict that are the foundations of both poems. It is through this treatment of conflict that supplies audiences with the ability to individualise the reading and hence engage a broad range of audiences despite their unique contexts throughout time. Easter 1916 not only

Both The Lorax and the story of Easter Island are examples of how people in a society can damage the environment and end life as we know it. The Lorax messages were how terrible our environment is in today’s society and also included a life lesson. The issues expressed in The Lorax are water and air pollution‚ deforestation‚ and overpopulation. And in the Easter Island story‚ the natives showed many examples of what could happen if we use up all our resources and do not take care of our environment

ever sit back and think of how you as a human being hurt the earth? In both The Lorax and The mystery of Easter Island people fail to realize how they’re setting themselves and the earth up for disaster. How did they hurt me? Why do they hurt me? The earth wants to know. If I ask you to go build a statue and then bring it 500 miles across the land‚ how would you do it? The residents of Easter Island had their own idea. The islanders used trees to drag the statues across the land‚ cool right? No‚
