.... to speak. Thus plunging her back to Arnold's Victorian classification that women should sit quietly and ingest her husbands opinions. This might also symbolize the feministic movements of the early sixties. Hecht's view might have been that women could have equality to men, but its not important enough to let them talk about it. His display of faithfulness in the women's unfaithfulness is also a reaction to the Victorian idea that the wife should be there for her husband. It could also be a scary reality in Hecht's mind that times were changing and women wouuld not be at every beaconing call of their husband. Hecht reinforces his Ideas of change by takin .....

.... of man's tendency towards self- destruction. "[I]f our resolves and prayers are weak and fail / there will be nothing left of their slow and innocent wisdom" (ll 49-50), demonstrates the trees' awareness of how lengthy their recovery time can take. They listen incredulously to mans' promises that he will not make this deadly mistake again, but worry he is too weak to honor their promises. Levertov is implying there should be harmony between man and nature and the nature of how mankind conducts itself can have long-range effects on the course of nature. For example, we now know how the destruction of the rain forest in South America is affecting the percent .....

.... thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature’s changing course, Untrimmed: But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his Shade, When in eternal lines to time thou growest: So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. In the simplest terms pos .....

.... London; one year later, he abandoned the profession of medicine for poetry. Keats's first volume of poems was published in 1817. It attracted some good reviews, but these were followed by the first of several harsh attacks by the influential Blackwood's Magazine. Undeterred, he pressed on with his poem `Endymion', which was published in the spring of the following year. Keats toured the north of England and Scotland in the summer of 1818, returning home to nurse his brother Tom, who was ill with tuberculosis. After Tom's death in December he moved into a friend's house in Hampstead, now known as Keats House. There he met and fell deeply in love with a you .....

.... "The Negro Speaks of Rivers," is a poem showing survival on a ongoing long journey. Through all this time, he has survived and is still here. He has seen it all and done it all. Like rivers that often grow over time, the soul of this man, and the soul's of his ancestors and descendants, have grown/will grow deep with patience for a better time to come, and determination to go on until that time finally arrives. All things that have been experienced, all hard rains of troubled times, have added to his river, his soul, and helped make him who he is. Without these times, both the good and the bad, he would not possess the beauty of who he is, knowing the .....

.... was more of a symbol, rather than a caring and loving man. In sharp contrast to Cofers fatherly image is that of the image portrayed in the poem of Theodore Roethke. Roethke’s simple poem intends to bestow a warmth and joyfulness in remembrance of his father. He intends to show us his endearment of this hard working man he called papa. The two poets use all the poetical elements too express their personal view of a father. Each share the same subject but use individual styles of poem structure, language, rhyme, tone, situation, and speaker to express their opinions. These differences allow us as readers to understand the authors intent and main idea of each .....

.... the title because you have to read the whole of the poem to understand what it means. Lewis Allen the author tries to put the point across by making it different from the usual news reports and broadcasts. He does this by comparing it to the natural land and emphasising how bad it is "Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh, And the sudden smell of burning flesh" The poem itself has rhyming couplets in every two sentences just like a simple poem. The title suggests that the fruit is the unnatural black body hanging from the tree which hangs like a fruit. This image makes it a metaphor to give the whole poem an effect. The authors inten .....

.... this before. The beating of the little boy adds to the negativity of the depressing and lonely poem. Furthermore, the fact that the father is drunk continues to show throughout the poem. While there are many negative ideas in the poem, the next is when Roethke states, “At every step you missed / My right ear scraped a buckle” (11-12). This in fact shows that the little boy is being drug around by the drunken father. In this particular instance the boy is being hauled around, but the author compares it to a dance when you would “miss a step” and stumble. Roethke then states, “You beat time on my head”, as if he were keeping time for a dance or a rhythm .....
