Recommended: role of nature in modern literature

Odio dice que ¨El poema no es un conjunto de ideas y palabras sino un orden substancial. Un poema es la acción del Verbo. De ahí que sea imposible analizarlo, aislar hasta el último de sus acordes. Siempre… , un acto generador, un poema (Vallbona 25). Y se puede ver eso entre su propia poesía. Como en sus poemas de Los elementos terrestres, se puede sentir el acción del Verbo. No son solamente poemas sobre amor sino son movimientos de emociones, de sangre y sudor, y de la tierra. Son poemas que habla de un verdadero del alma. Eunice Odio es una poeta que pone el esencia del mente abstracto de seres humanos entre un papel. Voy a hablar sobre cómo Odio describe el amor en Los elementos terrestres, también el tipo de vocabulario que usa y como combina la naturaleza con los cuerpos de seres humanos.

Aunque Eunice Odio está conocido en la mayoría como una poeta, ella ha escribido en otros géneros. Ha escribido cuentos breves, y ensayos critícales sobre arte y literatura. Pero con todo su poesía, ella no ha ganado mucho atención con el publico de Costa Rica y críticos de literatura. Su poesía apere en muchos antologías de Costa Rica y Latino América y periódicos, pero hay pocos libros escolásticos que han escribido sobre ella. Alfonso Chase, un critico de Costa Rica, dice que el razón que hay poco atención ha Odio es porque ella está muy vocal con su opinión con Puerto Rico (Vallbona 1). Su poesía es especial porque ella escribe con el punto de visto de una mujer. Cuando escribe sobre el amor, traiga aspectos de la naturaleza y con esos metáforas ella puede crear versos de amor con un sensación erótico, que nunca habemos visto salir de una mujer con tanta fuerza.

Eunice Odio nació en San José, Costa Rica, el dato exacto de su nacimiento no está claro, pero que sabemos es que ella nació en punto entre 1919 y 1922. Ella era un niña con mucho curiosidad y cuando tenia cuatro años, elle mostró su independencia y frecuentemente se corrió de su casa solo para andar en la ciudad. En un entrevista Odio dice que ella aprendió como leer en solamente dos días de escuela(Jiménez 1).

Cuando tenía nueve años ella se puso muy enferma.

  • Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents By Julia Alvarez Essay

    1113 Words  | 3 Pages

    Upon returning to the Dominican Republic after many years, Yolanda decides to take a trip across the island––something her family views as ridiculous. “‘This is not the states’ . . . ‘A woman just doesn’t travel alone in this country.” (9) This quote highlights the sexism inherent in Dominican society. Yolanda’s family is asserting that women are not individuals capable of taking care of themselves. On another hand, Yolanda’s close friendship with Mundín causes tensions as their mothers confront them about crossing gender lines. “My mother disapproved. The outfit would only encourage my playing with Mundín and the boy cousins. It was high time I got over my tomboy phase and started acting like a young lady señorita. ‘But it is for girls,’ . . . ‘boys don’t wear skirts.’” (228) This is an example of how Dominican societal norms and gender roles have impacted the sisters. Yolanda and Mundín were the only boy-girl playmates out of all the García children, yet this was frowned upon by both of their parents as to not impede the seemingly inevitable growth of Yolanda’s femininity, and conversely, Mundín’s masculinity. Moreover, this shows how societally-prescribed gender roles were instilled in Yolanda at a young age. However, this is not the only way in which women’s freedoms are

  • Essay On Autodemolicion

    1404 Words  | 3 Pages

    El texto se puedo relacionar con el poema “Hombre pequeñito” porque compara el papel de una mujer con un canario encarcelado en una jaula. Al principio el canario quiere volar y saltar de la jaula; la mujer es el canario. Luego en la línea donde dice “digo pequeñito porque no me entiendes”, el hombre no entiende a la mujer porque ella quiere volar y no quiere estar enjaulada. Al final la mujer nomas ama el hombre durante media hora y nada más. El poema no tiene una rima específica, pero usa la anáfora de “hombre pequeñito” al principio de los versos. El poema también es una metáfora de la relación entre una mujer y un hombre, pero el hombre no sabe cómo tratarla. Este poema es muy feminista porque el hombre se llama pequeñito y se ve como un tonto, que nunca entenderá a la mujer. La autora Storni básicamente se burla del hombre.

  • Lanston hughes comparison of two poems

    825 Words  | 2 Pages

    In today’s modern view, poetry has become more than just paragraphs that rhyme at the end of each sentence. If the reader has an open mind and the ability to read in between the lines, they discover more than they have bargained for. Some poems might have stories of suffering or abuse, while others contain happy times and great joy. Regardless of what the poems contains, all poems display an expression. That very moment when the writer begins his mental journey with that pen and paper is where all feelings are let out. As poetry is continues to be written, the reader begins to see patterns within each poem. On the other hand, poems have nothing at all in common with one another. A good example of this is in two poems by a famous writer by the name of Langston Hughes. A well-known writer that still gets credit today for pomes like “ Theme for English B” and “Let American be American Again.”

  • Analysis Of The Gurlesque

    1157 Words  | 3 Pages

    The way the Gurlesque applies mockery and exaggeration through a feminist perspective is more often than not directly linked with a subverted language, a language that purposefully deviates from what is standardized as “the proper language for a woman”. Refusing such standardization and responding to masculine “high-art”, the poems exhibit a political stance through the Gurlesque which employs the feminist understanding that multiplicities and even conflicting alternatives could very well coexist (Irigaray 28-29). The aesthetics of the distasteful comes into question in that regard and constitutes the third completing element of the Gurlesque. The Gurlesque copies the masculine culture without identifying with it, that is to say, it kitschifies

    ...tyle that alludes to the multitude of constantly changing and sometimes even contradictory elements in each characters journey to racially and sexually define themselves. Audre, Miguel and Leticia hold multiple racial and sexual identities in a fluid constant that change depending on their location and social context. Instead of serving as a bridge for their families, these characters break free of their place of origin and connect the multiple elements that inform their realities in order to adapt them to their present. Race and sexuality are inextricably linked. To believe in one true sexual or racial identity allows for a feeling of safety, as the aim is then find a definable, core sense of self; however, these three texts illustrate that a singular form of identity is insufficient at defining the complexity of human racial and sexual experiences.

  • La Casada Infiel Analysis

    1510 Words  | 4 Pages

    Federico García Lorca’s poem “La casada infiel” depicts the story of a gypsy who makes love to a married woman on the shore of a river. When looking deeper into the poem, Lorca appears to provide a critical observation on the values of the conservative society at the time in which he lived. The woman, at her most basic reading, is treated as an object, elaborating on the sexist values in society at the time. Lorca addresses issues of sexism as well as issues of sexuality within society mainly through the poem’s sexist narrative voice, objectification of the female character and overriding sense of a lack of desire throughout the poem. His achievement to do so will be analysed throughout this commentary with particular attention to Lorca’s use of poetic techniques such as diction, personification and imagery.

  • Identity Against Societal Expectation

    1111 Words  | 3 Pages

    The strict guidelines for women’s behavior in twentieth century Puerto Rico determined how they both acted outwardly as well as how they perceived themselves intrinsically. Within Julia de Burgos’ poem “A Julia de Burgos” and Rosario Ferré’s When Women Love Men, there is a somewhat psychological study of the dichotomy between a woman’s true identity and expected behavior. By creatively challenging the expectations placed before women, allowing for identities influenced by what was perceived to be the “other” side, and employing mirror like voices, both authors stress the importance in the ability to mold a true concept of self.

  • Women in Latin America

    1118 Words  | 3 Pages

    One of the most prominent expectations of women in Latin America, and certainly the main idea surrounding “Chronicle of a Death Foretold”, is the idea that women should be pure, maintaining their virginity, prior to marriage. In the novel, Angela Vicario was forced by her parents and family into accepting a proposal from Bayardo San Roman, none of whom knew she was no longer a virgin. Knowing that her future husband would expect to spend their wedding night with a virgin, Angela scrambled to find ways to reinstate her virginity and deceive San Roman so he would not detect her impurity. Angela's friends assured her that “They only believe what they see on the sheet..and they taught her old wives' tricks to feign her lost possession” (Garcia Marquez 38). Unfortunately, Angela was ill-advised by her friends and San Roman was not fooled the night of their wedding. Being a man of high expectations, San Roman did not settle for his impure wife, as Angela's friends had suggested he might, rather he marched her back to her parents' home and simply returned her- as if she was a purchase he could merely give back. Angela's actions brought shame and dishonor upon her family. What Angela did was so reprehen...

  • The Mother Tongue by Demetria Martinez

    2546 Words  | 6 Pages

    Demetria Martínez’s Mother Tongue is divided into five sections and an epilogue. The first three parts of the text present Mary/ María’s, the narrator, recollection of the time when she was nineteen and met José Luis, a refuge from El Salvador, for the first time. The forth and fifth parts, chronologically, go back to her tragic experience when she was seven years old and then her trip to El Salvador with her son, the fruit of her romance with José Luis, twenty years after she met José Luis. And finally the epilogue consists a letter from José Luis to Mary/ María after her trip to El Salvador. The essay traces the development of Mother Tongue’s principal protagonists, María/ Mary. With a close reading of the text, I argue how the forth chapter, namely the domestic abuse scene, functions as a pivotal point in the Mother Tongue as it helps her to define herself.

  • The Confessional Poetry Of Anne Sexton And Sylvia Plath

    837 Words  | 2 Pages

    Confessional poetry of women poets of the then 1950s and 1960s opens a new vista for them to express their ‘self’ and to foreground their identity. These poets feel the need for self-affirmation because of their experience of marginalization in society. They found all the experiences are gendered in the 1950s and 1960s patriarchal society and so they also develop a gendered image of their ‘self’ in their confessional poetry. At the time when Sexton and Plath were children, the authoritarian figure within the nuclear family was the father and so he was the representative of society’s rule. Hence, the delineation of the Electra complex in their confessional poetry is one of the approaches of scratching their gendered ‘self’ because through the Electra complex the poets inscribe the female sexuality into the text. So, “with their autobiographical works, they write themselves into the canon and represent and deconstruct cultural images and linguistic codes of ‘woman’ and suggest alternative modes of self and identity” (Carmen

    ...erent ways. For Pablo Neruda love should be from the heart. Every stanza of the poem represents an individual scene of a relationship where love emotions take all place in the heart. The theme is basically telling people what true and real love is. But for William Shakespeare love is the disease that can change to the death. It can’t be cured, and he has gone frantically crazy and grown increasingly restless. When the hero fell in love his thoughts and speech are like a madman’s. At the beginning he thought that he can be cured but the doctor left the hero because he didn’t follow the instructions. For the Shakespearean hero, “dark lady” was a beautiful and radiant but she was actually “as black as hell and as dark as night”. Both of the poets used literary devices to describe their feelings, their emotions, and also, they used words which made the mood of the poems.
