The main conflict revolves around Amari’s capture and her journey to America. The conflict shows the protagonist, Amari, facing the inhumane practices that were used during this time. The Copper Sun’s conflict can be both internal and external. Sharon describes how people's hope slowly dimmed to nothing. The author states, “Why couldn't I have died with my family?”(Draper,31).
“Nature’s first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold.” The poem says. Moreover, due to our knowledge of the meaning of the color gold, we can use the second line (her hardest hue to hold) to infer that this tells us that all young, new, and
Throughout history and literature, symbols have been used to represent the bigger picture or main ideas. This allows the reader to illustrate the symbol in their head and have a much better overall understanding of the book. A number of times during Golding’s Lord of the Flies, he uses symbols to illustrate the boys’ destruction and fall from order into savagery. The regression of the boys’ civilization is evident through Golding’s symbolic use of the conch shell, the signal fire and the beastie. All are critical for expressing Golding’s overall message.
The poem posits that gold, representing purity, can’t stay forever because it is, by its own virtue, temporary. It starts by stating that “nature’s first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold,” and “her early leaf’s a flower; but only so an hour.” These lines try
In the context of the poem, gold is not a precious metal, but rather the precious moments that we experience during our lifetimes. Fleeting sunsets, and the innocence of youth will not last very long, but that gives us more reason to cherish them while they do. Though all good things must come to an end, as Frost writes, a sincere appreciation for the impermanence of what is “gold” ultimately develops
I agree with Karl Shapiro’s statement: “The poet really does see the world differently, and everything in it. He does no deliberately go into training to sharpen his senses; he is a poet because his senses are naturally open and vitally sensitive. But what the poet sees with his always new vision is not what is " imaginary"; he sees what others have forgotten how to see." Poets really do looked at the world differently than normal people. A talented poet always have thoughts in the littlest thing that people tend to ignore.
Paton uses the biblical allusions to enhance the reader's understanding of the circumstances. The use of allusions in this chapter also adds an undertone that greatly advances the power of the words in the text. One example that Paton uses is when Stephen Kumalo goes on a journey towards the mountain. The biblical aspect comes into play because of a direct and indirect biblical correlation. Firstly, Kumalo goes to the mountain to be closer to God; yet it also connects to the biblical story of the
Another example is how the beautiful island represents the Garden of Eden or a paradise and how this paradise was not appreciated and so easily turned to the opposite of what this island was meant for. Instead the boys were ruined from this island when instead the island could of been a
The poem, written by Sara Teasdale, was written as a response to World War I. The poem’s main theme is the idea that nature will always outlast humanity.

Although this poem is about a beautiful spring morning, it also has a deeper meaning. The poem can also be about how seasons are always changing. Even in life, nothing remains the same. This is an important theme in this poem because anyone who reads it can find hope. In conclusion, Robert Frost uses personification and metaphor in his poem “Nothing Gold
He believes that because humanity has absorbed so many materialistic ideals that the connection between nature and oneself feels absent. “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud,” instead begins with the discovery of a field of golden daffodils, “fluttering
It also is saying that you have to move on. Metaphor was the third main literary element in the poem. “Nature’s first green is gold” and “Her early leaf’s a flower” are some major examples used for metaphors in the poem. “Natures first green is gold” means that nature is so valuable that it’s like gold. The “first green” part means that it’s like the start of a new beauty.
Summer Won’t Last Forever In “Summer of the Ladybirds” by Vivian Smith, the poet uses assonance, figurative language, and alliteration to convey that humans hold on to what is not permanent. First, assonance is used when the poet describes the ladybirds as “creatures from the world of leaf and flower.” The usage of the “ea” sounds emphasizes and draws attention to the ladybirds being from a different world from humans, one of “leaf and flower.” The main point that this phrasing gives prominence to is that leaves and flowers are much more perishable than other products of nature, such as humans.
