.... the forest of Babi Yar, a ravine on the outskirts of Kiev. It was the site of the Nazi massacre of more than thirty thousand Russian Jews on September 29-30, 1941. There is no memorial to the thirty thousand, but fear pervades the area. Fear that such a thing could occur at the hands of other humans. The poet feels the persecution and pain and fear of the Jews who stood there in this place of horror. Yevtushenko makes himself an Israelite slave of Egypt and a martyr who died for the sake of his religion. In lines 7-8, he claims that he still bars the marks of the persecution of the past. There is still terrible persecution of the Jews in present times be .....

.... establishes great use of rhyme and rhyme schemes I her poetry. For instance in "Heart! We will forget him!" she uses a rhyme scheme of: A, B, C, B. The first stanza goes like this: "Heart!

.... a summer day. A summer day triggers a scene that flashes in our head of children playing and the sun shining, basically a carefree day where everything is beautiful. He contemplates whether or not to compare his love to this ideal day, "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"(ll.1); but decides against it in his second line because he feels his love is "more lovely and more temperate"(ll. 2) during that day. He then proceeds to bombard us with images of natural nuisances such as windy days that "…shake the darling buds of May"(ll. 3); which hot weather magnified because it is coming from heaven and the seasons are changing. Shakespeare has taken the idea of .....

.... By bringing the scene of the accident to life and relaying the emotions of the spectators with language and several metaphors, the poem gains a realistic and sometimes transcendent effect. In some places in the poem, the words can easily be taken literally to convey scenery or an emotion, but they can also be taken so as to make the reader think about possible higher meanings. The thoughtsexpressed in the poem help to suggest these other meanings by clearly stating what is being felt by the speaker and the crowd around the accident. By stating clearly and vividly the emotions of the scene, it is easy for the reader to identify the theme itself, and also .....

.... born but to smile & fall’” (l. 7). In this line, Thel first expresses her lack of understanding of the process of life. She sees it as a futile exercise, or what is worse, she sees it as a task in which she might fail. Thel would consider her eminent life a failure if “‘all shall say, “Without a use this shining woman liv’d, / Or did she only live to be at death the food of worms?”’” (ll. 69-70). As a result, she questions others as to how they cope with their mortality. The responses of those she asks ubiquitously stress the importance of service. The Lilly tells Thel that she rejoices because God, who as the Clod of Clay says, “loves the lowly,” comes to h .....

.... development, "The Wound Dresser" is the best example of the author looking back upon his own initial opinions of the war, while stationed at a field hospital carrying his latest and final thoughts regarding what he held as an unnecessary encounter. However, to understand the contrasts between his first, then ultimately conclusive belief, one must delve into his earlier works. In the first poem of "Drum Taps", "First O Songs For A Prelude" the poem indicates to the reader that Whitman is staunchly enthusiastic towards the first battle: The tumultuous escort, the ranks of policemen preceding, clearing the way, The unpent enthusiasm, the wild cheers .....

.... and "my low-burnt fire." In this first paragraph, Coleridge is talking about winter and how everything is peaceful and there is "extreme silentness." In the second paragraph, Coleridge begins reminiscing about a certain day in school, when he was fairly young, "How oft, at school, with most believing mind…have I gazed upon the bars." At first, it appears he was very happy, "So sweetly, that they stirred and haunted me with a wild pleasure…" But as this paragraph progresses, he begins to show the loneliness in his life, "For still I hoped to see the stranger's face." Though his mood begins to change there still is a calm and somber feeling. In paragraph .....
