Whitman's autobiographical writing style was well-known, and many of his poems are inspired by his personal life. Similar
Walt Whitman and Emily Dickison shared some similarities they often dealt with the same kind of theme. Whitman and Dickison has had their own unique styles of how they would write. Death was the topic that both writer had a strong connection with. Religion was another common topic these two had in common. Beyond the themes they also were so well known for their unique voice and style Both poets also lived and wrote in the northeastern United States in the later half of the nineteenth century..
The reason I chose this poem was because, it reminds me of myself. As a young kid, I had troubles learning how to read. At one point, I had to personally go to a different classroom where the teacher would have a one-on-one with me. I relate with the character in many ways, for one, my parents do not speak fluent English meaning, they were not able to help me learn on how to read in English. I had to strongly rely on my teachers for their help, or else, I wouldn’t have been able to read text from a book or a passage.
I love all the metaphors he made in this poem such as the ladder to heaven (apple-picking requires a level which Robert Frost was referring it to the ladder to heaven) and the seasonal interpretation (winter is death and spring is rebirth) that connects to the natural process of decaying and
I found this incredibly interesting! Maybe Poe could have done more because he was an extremely talented man, but through my eyes, this poem could not have been improved anymore. The poem was suspenseful and ominous. There were so many forms of foreshadow throughout this poem, like the fact that it took
This poem in particular has a dominant voice for such a short poem. He uses white space and line breaks to a strong effect. When someone first looks at the poem, he or she might have no idea what it means, but when he or she takes the time to read it again, it makes sense. For the last five lines of the poem the narrator appears to want the reader to read without pausing for line breaks, so then the poem is easily understood. Furthermore, the reader should not pay attention to capitalization, punctuation, or grammar because the writer might choose to deliberately make the poem misunderstanding.
Even though these poems are targeted towards children, my favorite poet of all time is Theodor Geisel, or “Dr. Seuss” as he’s most commonly known as. I can’t name a favorite book/poem that he wrote because I think that they are all good, so I’ll name just a few and describe what Dr. Seuss was trying to convey and teach in each book. First off, I’ll talk about Green Eggs and Ham and what Dr. Seuss intended to convey and teach children about. There are two characters in this story, one being an unnamed, stubborn creature and the other being Sam-I-Am, who persistently bothers the unnamed character to at least try the food. The unnamed character outright refuses to try it, blaming it on the “grotesque” appearance of the green eggs and ham.
Whitman and Dickinson share the theme of death in their work, while Whitman decides to speak of death in a more realistic point of view, Dickinson speaks of the theme in a more conceptual one. In Whitman’s poems, he likes to have a more empathic view of individuals and their ways of living. For example, in Whitman’s “Song of Myself”, the poet talks about not just of himself, but all human beings, and of how mankind works into the world and the life of it. Even though the poem mostly talks about life and the happiness of it, Whitman describes also that life itself has its ending, and that is the theme of death. For Dickinson, she is the complete opposite of happiness.
The poem could be improved if more sentences
Both Dickinson and Whitman have strong opinions they desire to express through poetry. Nevertheless, they both generally remain consistent in their poetry style. Whitman uses catalog. Dickinson uses rhythm and rhyme. Whitman also uses repetition, and Dickinson, imagery.
In the poem, “A Noiseless Patient Spider” by Walt Whitman a spider is talked about. The use of the noiseless patient spider seems to compare with the author. If the author were more patient and quiet he could be someone. The analogy is used to compare the boring spider to the life of the author. Imagery, metaphors, and analogies are all used to compare the spider to the soul of the speaker.
Although there are many differences between these two gifted authors, similarities can be discovered as well. The background of Walt Whitman is enormously different from that of Emily Dickinson. Because Walt Whitman was such an under privileged kid and rose from his struggle in avery romantic life style, we see this slight bit of romanticism in his writing, like when he says, “ But O heart! heart! heart!/O the bleeding drops of red,/Where on the deck my Captain lies,/Fallen cold and dead” (Whitman).
I liked this poem because it made me want to read it when I read the word spider. I hate spiders and from reading that word made me imagine my own pictures of the spider design in my mind. My personal design was not depicted in a beautiful way but more of a scary way. The poem
Walt Whitman wrote a lot of poems in his lifetime. He wrote two of the most famous poems in history, “O Captain! My Captain!” and “O Me! O Life!”.
Emily’s poems are often stressful and depressing while Whitman’s poetry is graceful and candid. In addition, Whitman’s poetic style is opened while Dickinson is rather private and
