.... the sprawling dead," they are driving over a battle field to pick up the survivors. The drivers of the truck are playing the role of God, by coming and saving the soldier's from death. Another reference to God in the same poem is when Rosenberg refers to the "limbers," wheels of a cannon being pulled, carrying the dead as "Stuck out like many crowns of thorns," symbolizing Jesus's crown of thorns that he wore at his crucifixion. Finally they hear a sound, one of the soldier is still alive. He begs the cavalry to hasten their search and find him. The troops hear him and begin to come barreling around the bend only to hear the dying soldier murmur his last .....

.... death. This theme is one which dominates a large portion of his late poetry and is most readily apparent in three of his most famous Odes: To a Nightingale, To Autumn and on a Grecian Urn. In the Ode to a Nightingale, it is the ideal beauty of the Nightingale's song - as permanent as nature itself - in the Ode on a Grecian Urn, it is the perfection of beauty as art - transfixed and transfigured forever in the Grecian Urn - and in the Ode to Autumn it is the exquisiteness of the season - idealised and immortalised as part of the natural cycle - which symbolise eternal and idealistic images of profound beauty. In Ode to a Nightingale, Keats uses the .....

.... woman who is being taken away by Death. This is our first indication that this poem believes in an afterlife. In most religions, where there is a grim reaper like specter, this entity will deliver a person's soul to another place, usually a heaven or a hell. In the fifth stanza, Death and the woman pause before "...a House that seemed A Swelling of the Ground- The Roof was scarcely visible- The Cornice in the Ground-" (913). Although the poem does not directly say it, it is highly probable that this grave is the woman's own. It is also possible the woman's body already rests beneath the soil in a casket. If this is at all accurate, then her spirit or soul may .....

.... sigh. The real love should be beneath the line of death and live. Some said: "death is only another form of life." If two persons truly loves each other, the combine of the spirit and the firm affection would certainly last forever. Here I got one question: Why is "laity" the one that we tell our love to? Why can't we share it with a clergyman? Strong love is not evil at all ~ The third stanza is interesting, but contains a deep meaning. The earthquake causes damage and people regard it serious. The movement of the heavenly spheres is far greater, fiercer, 'cause it is harmless, people consider it innocent. I think (I do not know if I was right?) the author i .....

.... are still alive in spirit. The forth stanza says that even the best of men will be taken by death. Their bones are left to the earth and their souls are taken elsewhere. We are slaves to death because everyone will die. The fifth stanza says that there are things that cause death that no human can control or stop. War, sickness, and poison are just a few. In the sixth stanza he says why should people gloat about death if know man has control over death? Why should you have pride about death? In the final stanza he says that our lives are but a short sleep compared to the eternal live we have after we awaken from that sleep. Once we die the soul is ali .....

.... just treated like animals. For example, Rose starts the poem by writing “I expected my skin and my blood to ripen not be ripped from my bones”(569). When I read this I immediately thought that she was implying that she expected to die of old age and not die from a gunshot. She did not expect for someone to come and rip her clothing from her frozen body like she was a dead animal on the side of the side of the beach. The Native Americans were already here and the whites treated them like they were intruders on the whites’ land. This, in some ways, was like slavery. Slaves were not respected. They were treated like animals and they had no way to defend them .....

.... deaths, racism, being raped at age eight, becoming an unwed mother at age sixteen, and soured marriages(Brown 25). This period in Angelou’s life constitutes much of the contents in her poems including “No Loser No Weeper”. In, this poem Angelou describes how she “just hate[s] to lose some-thing”(Angelou 12). Moreover,this poem is directed towards a female; whom Angelou wanted to make clear to her to avoid touching her “lover-boy”(Angelou 12).Furthermore, when she states, “I hate to lose something…….even a dime, I wish I was dead”(Angelou 12), we gather that something as small and worthless as a dime would make Angelou wish that she was dead. This remark s .....

.... responses to living in a run-down home contrast sharply. The "dust[y]" atmosphere creates an aura of decay. The reality of the woman's broken dreams is inescapable. The home, in disrepair, has roaches coming out of their colonies in the moldings and grimy window panes. Society dictates that she must take on the domestic drudgeries of life. In the male dominant society, she alone must fulfill the role of housekeeper. With the absence of her lover, the woman takes sole responsibility for maintaining a pleasant household; she alone makes the bed, dusts the tabletop, and sets the coffee on the stove. The portrait of her miserable life contrasts sharply with .....
