love song of j alfred prufrock explic
Subject:
Tags:
T.S. Eliot?s acclaimed poem ?The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock? , engages the use of metaphors, imagery, allusions, and other figurative language devices to explain the story of a man called J. Alfred Prufrock, who is having trouble asking a question to his lover, who in this case, is the reader. This poem in its dreamlike setting provides the reader with a mysterious and dark tone of voice. The poem begins in a peculiar yet symbolic fashion with a quote from Dante?s classic Inferno. A man Dante meets in Hell, whose sin is lying to God, false counsel, speaks the quote. Although this quote is somewhat meaningless to the reader in the beginning, its significance becomes prominent later on.

poetry explication - birches
Subject:
?Birches? by the renowned Robert Frost tells the whimsical tale of a man reflecting on his childhood and his current life. Frost?s use of imagery and metaphors allow the reader to better understand his message and the tone of the poem overall. The reader is able to fully grasp Frost?s message of how the simple enjoyments of life are enough. The title ?Birches? is the main theme of the poem: birch trees. The branches of a birch tree often peel, making it easy to swing from their peeling bark. The speaker at the beginning says that he likes to imagine- some boy?s been swinging them (line 3).

The speaker does the same.

Analysis of Wilfred Owen's "Anthem for Doomed Youth"
Subject:
Tags:
Wilfred Owen?s ?Anthem for Doomed Youth? explores the theme of the pity of war. Throughout the sonnet, the narrator wonders what kind of service there could be for those that die in battle, only to come to the conclusion that there is no funeral for those that are herded into war. Owen takes the reader through the battle-front and then the home-front, contrasting the chaotic battlefield of the octave (ridden with cacophonous sounds and breaks in the meter) with the calmer, but more solemn sestet which shows the effect of the soldiers? deaths on their loved ones ? suggesting that this poem is much less an ?anthem? than anything else.
