"They left my hands like a printer’s or thieves before a police blotter" (line1-2), which begins the poem with an unforeseen dull meaning.

It gives the poem an uneven feeling, as if the lines were incomplete, much like how the soldiers may not feel whole anymore after an over-exposure to the brutality of war. The last word in each line of stanza five: “to-day … move; … eye” and “cave” do not rhyme, showing how a dead man decaying in the open is unusual. This stanza differs from the others since this stanza is the only one to have no rhyming pattern at all. Though the lack of rhyming structure in the fifth stanza would most likely be overlooked, the lack of rhyming happens at the stanza about the soldier’s decaying body. The shift from semi-regular to irregular rhyming exemplifies how the sudden change from normality is meant to create the feeling

The reason for this research paper is to show support of how the work done by Otto Lilienthal with manned gliders, aeronautical theory, aerodynamics, and his untimely death during a manned glider flight, sparked the interest of the Wright Brothers enough to have them pursue their own path into the science of aviation. This eventually led them to complete their successful flight at Kitty Hawk. Granted, the Wright Brothers did read into aviation research that other aviation pioneers developed, but it was Otto Lilienthal that really pushed them to start pursuing a life in aviation. This demonstrates how if aviation pioneers of the past did not make the advancements that they had made in aircraft design, aerodynamics, and aeronautical theory that we enjoy today then the aviation pioneers that came after them would not have been able to make the improved advancements in their respective aviation fields. Otto Lilienthal was born in Pomerania, Germany in 1848 and at a young age, he already had an interest in the world of

The speaker's reflections on his past love with Annabel Lee and the memories they shared together are a reminder of the love they once shared, and the pain of loss that comes with the death of a loved one. The language used by Poe is melancholic and sorrowful, as seen in lines like "But our love it was stronger by far than the love/Of those who were older than we", "And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes" which convey the speaker's longing for his lost love and the emptiness he feels without her. Additionally, the imagery of the "kingdom by the sea" and "a wind blew out of a cloud, chilling" are symbols that reinforce the sadness of the mood by depicting nature as a reminder of death, cold, and

In the third quatrain, Pack makes the discussion more personal to the speaker through the introduction of second person pronouns, delving into his concerns. He questions, “are you glad that I must end in sleep?” The prompt response: “Leap.” For the first time in the poem, the speaker directly addresses the echo, as if he has recently become aware of the voice responding to his questions.
