.... favors in kind. When I gave her my ring, She said “Oh, you sweet thing!” All that for just one crummy line!! I guess it was not in Jane's mind, That her figure was so well defined. So she went to health clubs, For health food and back rubs, Now look; if you do, you'll go blind!! I guess it was not in Jane's mind, That her teeth were poorly aligned. The boys did not go near, For, her chops they did fear, Till she had her mouth re-designed. I guess it was not in Jane's mind, That a job she needed to find. When they cut her welfare, .....

.... As the above quote suggests, a simple mind can perceive something in a different way than a seasoned one. When comparing his picture with his words in “Tyger,” one comes to different conclusions regarding the actual meaning. In contrast to the images of the innocence of the Lamb (from The Lamb of Songs of Innocence), Blake’s Tyger seems to be quite “devilish.” The beast is a representation of the angry God, as it is a combination of mystery, terror, and of wrath. The contrast of the Lamb and the Tyger also resembles the idea of when a beautiful thing like love can turn into an ugly thing like hate. The Tyger is obviously a representation of ev .....

.... Tom and the other chimney sweepers free, then takes them to a happy place where they can be kids again. Finally, the Angel tells Tom “if he’d be a good boy, He’d have God for his father & never want joy”(p31 L 19-20). So after that he wakes up and forgets about his horrible duties to be fullfilled for that the Angel told him that it would be alright when the time comes. In the second poem from “Songs of Experience”, the boys viewpoint on religion changes. His optimistic view has changed into a dissapointed grudge towards God and the heavens. He has come to the harsh reality that being a child in a profession where help is needed, because the child can not help .....

.... of God, and scared of Dickinson because she started to inquire about things that only God was capable of answering. In Dickinson's poem, "I Shall Know Why-When Time Is Over", she is describing her feelings toward God. It appears as though she is angry with Him because she cannot get any answers to her questions. Emily Dickinson feels, that the answers to these questions will only come with death. " I shall know why-when time is over- And I have ceased to wonder why- Christ will explain each separate anguish In the fair schoolroom of the sky- (78)". After she dies and God answers all of her questions, Dickinson then says: " I .....

.... Civic pride and duty were influencing every aspect of American education. Both essays draw from the influence of education into the societal path into American mainstream society. Each school system is influenced by thoughts of bettering youth, but in much opposite ends of the spectrum. The French commission stated that the youth of America were offered the same curriculum in the hopes to form a united, equal society. America, as seen by the French, was a land of golden opportunities available to every child regardless of social standing. It was the basis for our country to survive. It safeguarded our standing in the world. Mike Rose’s school offered q .....

.... opens, their separate interpretations and feelings finally are expressed, and each is surprised by what the other says. The husband speaks from the bottom of the stairs, she from a step just above the landing. Significantly, they don't come together on the architectural bridge and, when the poem concludes, readers are not assured that this marriage will regain the closeness it might have had prior to the child's death. The highly dramatic poem underscores the impact of loss and the need for communication or discussion of loss by those involved. When no reconciliation occurs, the loss intensifies to become destructive.In the poem “Home Burial”, Robert Frost tal .....

.... one may think of l(a as a poem of sadness and loneliness, Cummings probably did not intend that. “This poem is about individuality ; oneness” (Kid 200-1). The theme of oneness can be derived from the numerous instances and forms of the number '1' throughout the poem. First, 'l(a' contains both the number 1 and the singular indefinite article, 'a'; the second line contains the French singular definite article, 'le'; 'll' on the fifth line represents two ones; 'one' on the 7th line spells the number out; the 8th line, 'l', isolates the number; and 'iness', the last line, can mean "the state of being I" - that is, individuality - or "oneness", deriving the "one" .....
