.... elements, and vivid imagery, she creates a poem that can be interpreted in many different ways. The precise form that Dickinson uses throughout "Because" helps convey her message to the reader. The poem is written in five quatrains. The way in which each stanza is written in a quatrain gives the poem unity and makes it easy to read. "I Could Not Stop for Death" gives the reader a feeling of forward movement through the second and third quatrain. For example, in line 5, Dickinson begins death's journey with a slow, forward movement, which can be seen as she writes, "We slowly drove-He knew no haste." The third quatrain seems to speed up as the trinity of d .....

.... (4) in "their rented back room"(11), Clearly, they are poor. Their existence is accompanied not by freinds or relatives--children or grandchildren aare not mentioned--but by memories and a few possessions(9-11). They are "Mostly Good" (5) , words Brooks capitilizes at the end of a line, perhaps to stress the old people's adherence to traditional values as well as their lack of saintliness. They are unexceptionl, whatever message they have for readers. The isolated routine of the couple's life is something Brooks draws attention to with a separate stanza: Two who are Mostly Good. Two who have lived their day, But keep on putting on their clothes .....

.... has an unusual appearance because both the black and the white are visible. Frost offers many suggestions for their appearance. It maybe due to the ice breaking that is burdened on the bark. The breeze causes the ice to move and crack certain parts of the bark, creating the crackling effect. "As the [ice] stir cracks and crazes their enamel." He also compares this image to that of breaking glass and compares it to the "dome of heaven" shattering. I enjoy how he offers such different interpretations for the appearance of the bark. My personal favorite is the shattering of the dome in heaven. I think this creates a vivid image for the reader. He goes on to say t .....

.... of living. Furthermore, the repetitious last lines serve to strengthen the speaker's thoughts. In the first, third, and fifth stanzas, the last lines match each other; in the second and fourth stanzas, the final lines match. The final stanza combines the last lines from the odd and even-numbered stanzas for an additional line. This portrays the ongoing war between life and death. The old man went back and forth between life and death as the stanzas' last lines switched back and forth. In the end, the two last lines join together as the old man and his son accept that death is a part of life. Next, the references to "good men," "wild men," and "grave me .....

.... is Kiltartan Cross, My countrymen Kiltartan’s poor,” alludes to a group of Roman Catholics who were directly related to the Air Force. These people had there own tartan, or color for their kilts that they wore. The different tartan colors represented different groups of people. The “Kiltartan poor,” exemplifies the Kiltartan people, who are unfairly ruled citizens of Ireland, who are poor because the do not have their own country. He then tells how no outcome of the war would do any harm to Britain, The Irish were the only ones with something to lose. And, that nothing would make the Irish forget the war. They would never be as happy as they were befo .....

.... out where specific words are placed, and their meaning in that position. Cummings, in his own eccentric way, would use this positioning in conjuction with other grammatical idiosyncrisies to express himself. These other quirks would include using desired capitalization rather than when appropriate, “incorrect” use of parenthesis and other puncuation, as well as incorrect use of grammar. In the analysis of the poems, “Anyone Lived in a Pretty How Town”, “Once like a Spark”, “Up into the Silence the Green” as well as any other of Cummings poems, it necessary to remember that he is best understood when approached on his own terms. In trying to understand mea .....

.... follow the game. Must be athletic instead of a weenie. For sports is the easiest road to one's fame. Well, easiest for some, though not for him. Though he never gave up, and gave it his all. He offered his best, and played always to win. Yet the harder he worked, the harder he'd fall. When his sports were done he had nothing to do. He had all of the time in the world. "Why not study?" said his mom, cooking the stew. He thought of that during supper and hurled. His mother soon tired of the grades he brought home. She made him study each day after school. He w .....

.... lambs of God, meek and tender, can we really understand the generosity and glory of a God who gave us life? He did give us life, and Blake tells us that we take this great gift for granted. So, he asks "Dost thou know who made thee?" So God created man in His own image; in the image of God he created him; male and female, He created them. Genesis 1:27 Anyone who has seen a lamb knows that it is a weak creature; unable to protect it's self from the strength of an evil predator. If we are the Lamb, then we must rely on the protection of our Shepherd, God. Why would Blake call us a Lamb then? Aren't we stronger than any other animal upon this earth? I think that .....
