Rebecca Cosby Lori Perrine IB English Honors 10 22 February 2023 Anger weighs more than Nuclear Bomb In Audre Lorde's speech “The Uses of Anger: Women Responding to Racism”,talks about women reacting to racism in a National Women's Studies Association Conference in Storrs, Connecticut. How Black anger doesn’t power the world or change. She uses rhetorical strategies and special diction to get her point across effectively. The devices she uses brings weight to what she is expressing and leaves a bigger impact.
Overall, the author expresses his internal conflict in a funny and silly way. However, this doesn't mean the poem doesn't have a deeper meaning. I think everyone should read this poem. Today in society we struggle with identity.
Hope and humanity must have a symbiotic relationship in order to survive. Both McCarthy and Dickinson reveal their understanding of hope through their literature. The authors portray hope in two different ways. In both pieces of literature hope is overlooking all the negativity in their life seeking a better day than the one before. Emily Dickinson believed that there wasn’t a fight necessary to keep hope alive.
Also, in stanza 3, the mother explains to her kid that he couldn’t worry, don’t look back into the past, and never give up, because restarting would be harder. She persevered again and again, and she hasn’t given up and died yet, so her son shouldn’t give up either. Also in the last 2 lines of the second stanza explains how even when she didn’t really know where she was going and had no guide, but still was able to get through in life. She at this part reminds me of Mama, she supports her kids and tells them that maybe they had to respect whites, but that doesn’t stop them from their full
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.
Literary Devices in The Scarlet Letter Literary devices are often used to capture a reader’s attention in a text. Nathaniel Hawthorne used many different types of literary devices in his book The Scarlet Letter. He uses symbolism to give hidden meaning to elements in the story, conflict to make the story interesting, and allusion to make references to historical events (ex. biblical references). While reading The Scarlet Letter, the literary devices did not jump out at me, but now as I reflect upon them they help me understand the book well. Literary devices can make a passage have a whole different meaning.
Having no ambiguous words makes this poem can be easily read, and it also makes me
The Closet Perspective Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson represented two talented and relevant poets of their time. They are most often recognized for their patriotism and their influence on starting a transition between transcendentalism and realism. Their works reflected themes of love, life, nature and death among other things. Whitman and Dickinson did subtly advocate for their sexuality in their writings. Adding a sub-section to the “Whitman and Dickinson” header in our course could more completely depict Whitman, Dickinson, and their influence on American culture and writing.
The Crafts and Emily Dickinson’s sense of home seemed to deeply contrast after researching their backgrounds, and reading their biographies and poems. An overarching difference was their view on religion, which happened to be Christianity. It is noted in the podcast that the Crafts embraced the traditional view of Christianity. So much so, that it fueled their journey towards inevitable freedom.
As with all Emily Dickinson poems, though, it is not so much what the poem says as how it says it that makes the poem distinct, memorable, and
Emily Dickinson had multiple views on death. At first she was in love with the peaceful, gentle side of death, but that all changed when she lost her everything, her parents to death. The significance is that Romanticism is a diverse thing and it can be shaped a formed to the writers likings, but it will only have an effect if the reader interprets the poem in the same
Emily Dickinson 's poem 519 also known as This is my letter to the World, can be interpreted in an abundance of ways. Upon reading it numerous times, I feel it was
Finally, Dickinson’s spider shall have its messages unraveled. Dickinson’s spider is holding a silver ball that is unwinding as he is dancing seeing happy. It holds a pictures reminiscing upon something in the past. After an hour, the spider is at its end of his journey in life and then proceeds to dangle itself using its silver ball on a housewife’s broom. This ending is by far darker than Whitman’s ending.
Ultimately, interpreting this poem correctly requires a careful examination of the context of the
