She was at school 5 minutes before lunch she had lunch almost ready. She finished right before the bell rang for lunch, it was chicken patty with a side of salad. All the kids were mean and selfish, but it was just like any normal day. She was so tired of her job it just broke her down. “Man,” she said with just a little bit of sorrow for herself, “another bad day” she said as she was making dinner,
According to the writer, there was no dawn and so no morning and no hope for the day. The title of the poem is all about the diverse aspects of dawn in New York. It talks about the impact of dawn in New York City and how it is also portrayed as it changes from night to day. The title Dawn is thought to be used in order to bring thoughts of forgiveness and new beginning in the mind of the reader.
In the "Night Waitress by Lynda Hull, the narrator has a lot of concern about her life that she expresses by describing her night at work and the people she encounters while she is there at work. She explores feelings about her appearance, her desires, and her loneliness. The speaker daydreams her way through another monotonous working shift, which reflects on her lower-caste and a disgrace to her employment. Hull analyzes the waitress' performance as disheartening which leads to her desire in a relationship and a materialistic world in which she gets delighted.
Rather than explicitly stating that the poem takes place in New York City, he chooses to make reference to occurrences such as, "the endless ride from Battery to holy Bronx" (14). Ginsberg 's name-dropping of these famous boroughs and locations like the Empire State Building allows readers to easily conclude the setting. Perhaps Ginsberg 's purpose for not directly stating the setting is to reflect the ambiguous morals of society at the time. This specific setting also contributes to the overarching theme of conformity because New York is known for its daunting skylines and busy, imposing metropolitan atmosphere, wherein it seems that everyone always has a place to be, however, with that sense of purpose only revolving around these artificial constructs of civilization.
He dedicates this poem to Whitman because of this strong connection, establishing the idea that poets think differently than the rest of the world. He uses "A Supermarket in California" to showcase an everyday senerio in which most people have a simple concept and he turns it into a deeper meaning for poets. He establishes the idea that poets like Whitman and him think
The best poem ever is “Fast Break”. Hirsch has great use of sensory details. Also, Hirsch’s use of figurative language is superb. Finally, there are excellent sound devices in this poem.
The lunch meal is universal like everywhere else, especially the “fricken tater-tots”(1) that never seems to go away. Zen also talks about how the boys and girls are the same as all of his old schools “animals… and Martians with human hormones”(1). The setting is relevant
The language of the poem in the first stanza also depicts the setting of New York as a busy place with a lot going on at one time, “The sun is hot, but the/cabs stir up the air. I look/at bargains in wristwatches. There/ are cats playing in sawdust.” (11-14) The near-sporadic thinking of the speaker: having multiple thoughts in the same stanza that aren’t directly related and being written in short-enjambed sentences (creating breathlessness), creates a feeling of sensory overload which a city like New York is known
How do authors manage to get people so wrapped up in a book? Shirley Jackson's story, "One Ordinary Day With Peanuts", was a wonderful example of how authors use literary devices to capture readers minds. Throughout the short story, “One Ordinary Day, With Peanuts”, Shirley Jackson executes many literary elements including surprise ending, plot and characterization which demonstrate how authors use these elements to capture the reader’s attention. First, surprise ending is an unexpected twist at the close of the story. Surprise over takes the reader when Mrs. Johnson says, “...I said that he was impertinent and quarreled with him…and I turned in a complaint.
Carl Sandburg’s poem, Chicago, running twenty-three lines is a poem written in free verse without a set meter or rhyme scheme. However, many lines have a melodic flow that climbs and falls within a fast moving poem that delivers one word punches. The poetic structure of the poem consists of lists of adjectives that describe Chicago with vivid imagery. The words that Sandburg chooses lean towards being strong, exacting and gritty.
Mary Oliver’s poem “Wild Geese” was a text that had a profound, illuminating, and positive impact upon me due to its use of imagery, its relevant and meaningful message, and the insightful process of preparing the poem for verbal recitation. I first read “Wild Geese” in fifth grade as part of a year-long poetry project, and although I had been exposed to poetry prior to that project, I had never before analyzed a poem in such great depth. This process of becoming intimately familiar with the poem—I can still recite most of it to this day—allowed it to have the effect it did; the more one engulfs oneself in a text, the more of an impact that text will inevitably have. “Wild Geese” was both revealing and thought-provoking: reciting it gave me
Stress has become a major issue for high school students. Many students have seven classes, participate in sports, have after school activities, homework, and need to get an adequate amount of sleep each night. Some parents and outside influencers don’t see the benefits of having a longer lunch period for high school students. Students complain about how long school is now but they don 't have enough time outside of school to complete everything they are expected to. While it is understandable that some parents wouldn’t want longer lunches because it could result in safety issues and students having to remain in school 30 minutes longer than the traditional time, longer lunches would give students a chance to complete homework, get help from teachers, and eat a nutritious meal.
In this grand poem, Whitman glorifies the unity of all people and life. He embraces the geographical diversity as well as the diversity of culture, work, as well as sexuality or beliefs. Whitman’s influence sets American dreams of freedom, independence, and self-fulfillment, and changes them for larger spiritual meaning. Whitman appreciates hard work as well as being simple and non-egotistical. His major ideas are things such as soul, good health, as well as the love of nature.
