The poem ‘The Jaguar’ written by Ted Hughes describes the lifestyles of animals at a zoo and their different attitudes to entrapment in their cage. It compares the bored‚ lazy moods of the animals to the lively‚ adventurous mood of the jaguar‚ which does not see this confinement as a way of stopping him behaving as if it were in its natural environment. The poet’s clever use of techniques such as similes and metaphors clearly puts an image in our minds of the animal’s ways of life and gives an accurate

Elizabeth Bishop poses interesting questions delivered by means of a unique style. Do you agree? Focus on themes and stylistic features. In my opinion‚ Elizabeth Bishop has a unique style of asking interesting questions. Bishop invites us along on the journey with her. She does this by her “painterly eye” which she has been praised for. In her poems she takes the ordinary and turns it into the extraordinary. As a reader‚ I wonder why she goes into so much detail. There is a story behind each of

Sonnet 69 was written by Pablo Neruda in the 20th century. As I was reading the original sonnet‚ I was filled with inner joy and love. The original sonnet brings profound feelings‚ flashbacks‚ and makes you and the sonnet feel as if one. However‚ the translation of sonnet 69 does not. It is rather dull and brings no sense of joy. In sonnet 69‚ the type of figurative language that is being used is hyperbole; which helps create emphasis. In Stanza 2‚ the line “like the red beginning

Compare and Contrast ‘First Ice’ and ‘Manwatching’ The two poems I am going to compare and contrast are ‘First Ice’ by Andrei Vosnesky and ‘Manwatching’ by Georgia Garrett. The first obvious difference between the poems is that ‘First Ice’ is written by a man and ‘Manwatching’ is written by a woman. However‚ both poets seem to adopt a female persona. ‘First Ice’ is about “a girl” who has broken up with someone for the “first time” by phone call. The girl was planning to go out to a party with

Ramatou Traore ENH 211- Miller October 13‚ 2014 Importance Of Fruits The two poems I’ve decided to write on is This is just to say by William Carlos Williams and Meditation on a Grapefruit by Craig Arnold. The first poem This Is just to say By William Carlos is unique and different in a way because the poet writes the poem as if it were a note left by a husband for his wife. Being when you write a note for your significant other to see ‚ you’ll assume that is it’s the first thing that they see

Iambic Pentameter in My Last Duchess The poem I am choosing is Robert Brownings “My Last Duchess”. This is an amazing 56 line poem where Browning uses prosody to connect to how he feels emotionally. The poem is a dramatic monologue where he reveals his love situation and much more. The Duke’s desire for control control is made evident by the structure of the poem. He uses the iambic pentameter to show his control over the monologue. The poem consists of 28 rhymed couplets of iambic pentameter
