"Winter Saturday" poet Earle Birney uses descriptive metaphors to compare farmers to caterpillars, as they leave their homes in the cold winter season. Through these comparisons the author makes great effort to show the similarities between humans and nature. The alliteration "Furred from the farmhouse" (line 1) as well as the simile “Like caterpillars from wood" (line 2) expresses resemblance on how humans, insects, and other species of nature leave hibernation into the cold.
In “Federico’s Ghost” by Martin Espada, the claim is that poor, hard-working families are often stuck in negligent situations. Pathos creates the strongest appeal because the author is describing families that are just getting by, being killed by a pilot flying a crop duster, just doing what he can do to get by as well. Love can be everlasting if it is expressed correctly; this is the claim in “Sonnet 18.” In this case, it is expressed in a poem, and it has lived on through hundreds of years. William Shakespeare uses an abundance of pathos to describe how his lover is everlasting because of the poem he wrote.
Every aspect of life impacts the human existence. The people within a man’s life, his traditions, his environment, specific events that occur within his life, and his experiences all play a significant role in shaping and molding a man into a distinct individual. These are just some of the components that attribute to a man’s thoughts, beliefs, inclinations, innermost desires, dreams and fears. Then there is an outward manifestation of these inner attributes in a man’s attitude, behaviors and actions. Some experiences and individuals are definitely influential, but then there are those that can alter a man’s life forever.

Whilst others may fail to agree, “The Possessive” by Sharon Olds is the most compelling because of the use of figurative language. The author emphasizes the conflicts of a distant parental relationship that leads to further strain on one's connection. First and foremost, by using figurative language, such as similes and metaphors, the author has added a more enthralling aspect to the poem. One simile in particular that stands out is when the narrator describes the new haircut her daughter received. “The blade of new bangs hangs over her red-brown eyes like carbon steel”(Olds, lines 7-8).
Along their journey they come across an old man who is very ill and can’t walk well. The father and his son both have very different reactions to coming across the man. The boy wants to help the man by feeding him and possibly letting him join them, while the father wants to just move past without batting an eye. In the end however the boy is able to convince his father into giving the man some food. This is just another piece of evidence to support the fact that the boy has a major impact on his father’s way of
Therefore, how So the way each person raised up affects who she/he becomes and what he/she values. While Watkin’s described that as a child she didn’t interact with lots of people grew up in a small town in Kentucky and never been on a city bus, she was frightened to leave her home to attend college. I think that society and environment that we are raised in as children can have a major impact on our life as we become adults. If the child was raised in a loving and caring home mostly he/she will inherit that behavior and vice versa. For example, Christina who used to as a young girl used to see her family once a week, talking together and discussing the things that they gained during the week and talking about valuable life lessons such as sharing or helping others people who might need our help and narrating family past to her as a child.
“Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden has much significance throughout it, the poem is generally about an adult reflecting back to his childhood having regrets for not appreciating his father's love. Hayden describes a father to son relationship for the reader. This poem can be similar to the quote “ you don’t what you’ve got until it's taking away” Hayden uses imagery, diction, and emotional appeal to make it relatable to the readers. Hayden writes this poem figuratively using imagery to provide the reader with a vivid ideal for example “Blueback cold” shows imagery of how cold those winter Sundays really were, and “Blueblack cold can also be used metaphorically here to describe the bruise on the child heart from the feeling of thinking he was unloved throughout his childhood. All love is shown in a different manner you just have to understand the
The father tells his son that if he were to die he would die too. The man’s son is what motivates the man to keep on living. The love
Regardless, the anger is “chronic,” suggesting that it is persistent, and the son “slowly” (8) begins his day, “fearing” those “chronic angers” (9). From the son’s fear, the reader can infer that the son connects the house’s anger to his father, regardless of the anger’s cause. Through his use of imagery and personification in the second stanza, Hayden firmly establishes the idea that the relationship between the father and his son
Operation Mincemeat was a successful British disinformation strategy used by the British intelligence officers during World War II. Its purpose was to deceive the Nazis and Adolf Hitler into believing that the Allied armies would invade Greece, in hopes to divert troops to the wrong location and defensively weaken the Axis.

Operation Mincemeat served as a vital turning point in the war that furthered the downfall of Italian leader Benito Mussolini and led to an Allied victory in Europe. In this essay… (Thesis) William Martin was a fictional character created by the British secret service MI5.
Lastly, the two words the son and the man add to the complexity of the relationship. This shows that the man can’t picture himself being a father, especially after knowing he can’t meet the child’s expectation, but will always picture his son being a child in his eyes. In conclusion the author uses literary devices to add depth and emotion to the complex relationship between the two characters. He does this by changing the point of view throughout the poem from son to father. He uses a purposeful structure from present to future coming back to present to demonstrate with the complexity of the father's
The son undergoes moral development during this moment, and Wolff demonstrates this by using foils, symbolism, and by changing the connotation of the word snow. It is due to these literary devices that Wolff demonstrates the son’s moral development during a memorable moment. Throughout the novel it is apparent that the father and mother of the son are complete opposites.
His idiosyncrasy remains loving and understanding, even when his younger son returned home after many of been away with not a penny to his name. The young son showed disobedience to all the goodness his father had offered to him. The young son showed traits such as selfishness as well as being ungrateful.
