...How does Keats present love in his poems? John Keats was born 1795, in London and was often claimed as one of the most important Romantic figures of the nineteenth century. He had many struggles in his life from his mother and brother dying from tuberculosis, to his poetry being constantly rejected and him running out of money. A lot of Keats’s themes were Romantic, such as the beauty of nature, the contrast of fantasy and reality and the relation of beauty to suffering. Though initially all Keats’s poems that present love seems to be portrayed contrastingly, really they’re actually revealed to be quite similar. Through numerous techniques, from the exploration of senses, to form to the different symbols and styles that Keats’s used to intertwining themes used to express the theme of love. However through all of Keats’s poems, he shares a sense of sacrifice and pain that deal with his idea of the eternal and fantasy world and how in exchange for immortality the lovers have to give up their human experiences and intimacy. In the ninth line of ‘Bright Star’ Keats reveals his desire to remain in the moment “Pillow’d upon [his] fair love’s ripening breast”. However in order to remain in this moment Keats has to sacrifice all his humans’ experiences to be immortal. In the final line of ‘Bright Star’ Keats writes “And so live ever—or else swoon to death”. Many have considered ‘Swoon’ to be an little death or an orgasm as towards the end of the poem the pace and rhythm increases...

...Analysis and interpretation of “A gap of sky” by Anna Hope “A Gap of Sky” is a short story by Anna Hope. The story is about the young girl Ellie who lives in London and attend UCL. She lives a wild life with parties and drugs and therefore she cannot concentrate on her studies. She has not got anyone to hold on to and no parents to guide her. The city distracts her with all its options and temptations. There is always new and exciting things around the corner but you must focus on the important things and not choose to follow all your impulses – life is too short for that. The main themes in the story are developing and identity. Ellie finds out that it is important to keep up on her studies and take care of her body, by staying clean of drugs. Ellie is the main character in the story. She attends University College London, but she does not take her studies very serious. The text says: “It was their fault she was doing this bloody course in the first place.” So it seems like her parents have forced her to go there. She does not care much about her education. She is very close to expulsion. “She remembers the letter, the stomach-lurching letter. If this lack of application continues we will have no choice but to reconsider your place on the course.” She most likely skips classes and papers and parties instead. In the beginning she wakes up after a party. It is Monday afternoon which means that she had been partying all Sunday night. She cannot remember last night clearly because...

Not so deep beneath the earth were the warrens of the wild rabbits I loved, the bunnies that ate the vegetables and flowers in the neighborhood nearby and that sometimes, unwittingly, brought poison home to their dens. Then, inside the earth and so far away from the man or woman who had laced a garden with toxic bait, an entire family of rabbits would curl into themselves and die” (Sebold 22). Context of Quotation: In this quote, Susie Salmon is telling readers about how she feels her death is destroying her family.

...The theme the author was showing in this story is to teach us that we need to be more acknowledging of the sin in our lives. Motifs are, “a distinctive feature or repeating idea in an artistic or literary composition (Storyboard).” Mr. Hooper constantly remind the people of their secret sin, and he shows them this in a artistic way. Symbols are, “ An object used for or representing something else; frequently an emblem, token, or sign, which represents something deeper and more important. It might be a material object representing something immaterial (Storyboard).” As said previously, the black veil was used as a symbol to symbolize secret sin and/or the darkness of humanity. The author uses all three, theme, motifs, and symbols to give the story more enthusiasm to the message being...

...“Whoso List to Hunt” by Sir Thomas Wyatt and “Sonnet 67” by Edmund Spenser are sonnets that are very similar at a first glance, but delving deeper, a difference can be found. Both of these sonnets use imagery and figures of speech relating to the hunt of an unobtainable woman as well as that central theme. Through a deeper analysis it is revealed that these two authors have a different interpretation of this failed hunt. A comparison and contrast of “Whoso List to Hunt” and “Sonnet 67” reveals that they are very similar through the analysis of their imagery and theme, but a look at the tone, reveals a different view on the problems faced in by these two speakers. “Whoso List to Hunt” shows an unobtainable woman represented as a deer, while the narrator is her hunter. Starting off the sonnet, the narrator jumps right into this comparison: “Whoso list to hunt, I know where is an hind” (Wyatt, 1). This immediately initializes the comparison as the woman being a deer, for the entire poem. A continuation of this metaphor can be seen when the narrator seems to give up on his love, “Draw from the deer: but as she fleeth afore” (Wyatt, 6). Here, the speaker continues his metaphor. “Sonnet 67” also displays this imagery in a similar fashion. Once again, the narrator has been hunting his deer in futile attempts to catch her: “Seeing the game from him escaped away” (Spenser, 2). As a hunter would be saddened by his game running away, similarly the narrator is saddened by his woman leaving...

O Brother, Where Art Thou is indeed a comical action/adventure and musical romp Directed by Joel Coen and Produced by Ethan Coen. The Cast consist of many favorites in film such as George Clooney, John Goodman, Holly Hunter, John Turturro, and Tim Blake Nelson. The film O Brother, according to well-known film critic Roger Ebert (2000), “is based on Homer’s The Odyssey” (p.1), this is an epic Greek poem around 700 B.C. Although the setting is much different, the Homeric journey of three would be prisoners of the late 1930s are similar to The Odyssey and its theme of perseverance. The movie O Brother, Where Art Thou however has a comical twist accompanied by great Gospel/Bluegrass music, and scenes that play into an allegorical concept including references to repentance and salvation during the depression of that era. The storyline in this movie the collaborating efforts of the Coen brothers and cinematographer Roger Deakins bring together a musical and adventurous comedy filled with action. This story depicts an era in time where ignorance, poverty, and racism are prevalent among the effected in the rural South in the late 1930s.

...Society written by Jerry Hannan (performed by Eddie Vedder) The song society is a melancholic song representing Chris Mccandles (Alex Supertramp) journey through his rediscovered life. The song focuses on materialism shaping your identity. The songs theme is strengthen by the fact that the song only is performed by Eddie Vedders humming voice and the strumming guitar. The ebb and flow of Vedder’s voice, paired with the decrescendos and crescendos of the wave-like guitar, reflected the tug of the wild on Alex’s life. The strumming guitar is similar to the cadenced pounding of the ocean, with its tides and undertows; its wild, mysterious grandeur. Chris flees society to find a peaceful place were he's not judged by his belongings, but by his personality. I think he was frustrated by the problems of the world and the greed of humans, as Eddie Vedder murmurs in the opening lines of Society, with the beautiful play on words, “we have agreed, with which we have a greed.” All humans have an instinctive greed, the desire for more; this is universal. How we control and channel this greed shapes our principles. The song has an interesting form. Building up through the verses leading to the catchy chorus. The verses all has four lines, but the chorus starts with two lines leading to four lines ending up with eight lines in the last chorus. As you'll notice the chorus is the only place in the song where's backing vocal humming society. I think it's represent some of Chris's thought...

...“The Giver” Literary Analysis In life, people find that memories are a benefit, yet it somehow contains cons. Like societies in the novel The Giver, a fiction novel wrote by Lois Lowry, it explained that memories can provide wisdom and experience for situations. This theme is expressed in many ways such as figurative language and diction. Memories are needed in society so that people can learn from their experience. Recalling to the texts, Lowry uses her figurative language to give context clues of the theme. Doing that, she uses simile and imagery to hide the theme. For instance, using simile, a group of visitors from another community broke a few rules who upsetted the fair-playing Lily. “She shook her head. ‘I don’t know. They acted like…...

...Through the structure of the poem, Thomas was able to deliver a succinct yet passionate message to his father. Thomas's employment of the villanelle structure, five tercets and one final quatrain, "provided the framework" for Thomas, one in which he could create both a "character analysis" and an "expression of [Thomas's] love" for his father (Lord, 1067-1068). By nature, villanelles are formal. This makes Thomas's use of a villanelle symbolic, since he so often defied poetic norms structurally and stylistically. Seeing as the subject matter is so laden with emotion and very obviously personal to Thomas, the formality of the structure is significant. Each of the five tercets denotes a different topic, starting with a plea to "rage against the dying of the light," and going on to tell the stories of those who have prevailed in fighting against death ("Do Not Go" 3). Finally, the acute passion felt by Thomas is evident through the repetition that occurs throughout this poem. The ending of each stanza alternates between the...
