The poem “War is Kind” by Stephen Crane gives light to the women who are affected by the men that are in the military. By stating “war is kind” is really the exact opposite because war is not kind, it is gruesome, horrific, and deadly. How it shows irony by insinuating that war is a pleasant thing but then talking death and pain. The language brings attention and glorifies the symbolism behind war. It gives imagery by giving you a picture of the actions that are being brought out in each stanza.
his daughter. The father in this story has made a last request for his daughter to "write a simple story just once more" (26) before he passes away. The father's idea of a simple story is in the same format as those stories written by well known male authors. Paley uses symbolism and character to emphasize the patriarch relationship. The father has a patriarchic ideology by telling his daughter how to write, and by always getting the last word in during arguments between the father and the daughter

for a little old lady like myself and my pal the bench sure miss seeing their nicer, more sweeter faces. Those kind souls would always stop near my spot and smell the flowers, and they would not just say hello but talk for hours. They were not afraid to talk to someone dirty, smelly, and hungry gal. They knew it was not just about the money, but the memories that we make in life. Those kind people would bring their kids and would share with them valuable lessons about kindness and how it should be
“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.” Mother Teresa of Calcutta This quotation demonstrates the positive effects of speaking kindly. I agree with Mother Teresa that kind words are easily spoken and long-lasting. On March 14, 1933 I was wondering my path down the halls, when I dropped my books for my studies. All of the undergrads mocked me; the laughing went on for days. I was completely embarrassed; until, a girl from my biology class named Stacy made
Analysis of Emily Dickinson's The Bustle in a House The Bustle in a House is a poem by Emily Dickinson about the painful loss one feels after the death of a loved one. Dickinson was quite familiar with the kind of pain expressed in her poem. Her father, mother, nephew, and three close friends, all died within an eight-year period. It is no small wonder that a common theme in Dickinson s poetry is death. She uses many literary devices, including structure, imagery, figurative language, sound
enabled him to avoid explicit autobiography. One evident poem that uses form of the dramatic monologue is the story of My Last Duchess in which the duke speaks to his dead wife. We read about a one sided conversation, all the while trying to piece together the situation from both past and present and figure exactly what it was that happened to the
build up a picture of the town of Camelot. This part uses a lot of descriptive words and language, "Four gray walls, and four gray towers, Overlook a space of flowers." This works very effectively and gives you a clear picture in your mind as to how the area looks. The writer also uses imagery when he says "Tis the fairy Lady of Shalott" this suggest that the Lady is not quite real and is a reference to a kind of fantasy theme, which runs through the poem. The second part of the poem is writ

exaggerated simile so that one can see just how absurd this kind of comparison can be. In line eight, the speaker uses the word "reeks" conveying a strong image of how non-perfect this woman is. In line 11, the speaker uses the words "grant…goddess" creating a hyperbole, the speaker then illustrates two portrayals, one of an ideal woman, and the other is of the real, imperfect woman the speaker has been describing all along. In these last lines the speaker chooses the real woman over the goddess usually
cryptic, confusing language. Words are often put together in an unusual way and create deciphering difficulties for the reader. But behind all the confusion is a hidden meaning that becomes clear, and one realizes that all the odd word choices were chosen for a specific reason. The poem I will try to analyze is My Life Had Stood—A Loaded Gun, or number 754. I find this to be one of her most difficult poems to decode. However, I find the images fascinating and the last stanza very confusing but intriguing

view. This lesson is mainly taught by Atticus, but other characters can be seen practicing it. First when Scout was upset about her first day of school, Atticus told her that “if you can learn a simple trick, you’ll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view- until you climb into his skin and walk around in it” (Lee, 1960, p. 39). Although Scout didn't exactly change her views on Miss. Caroline, this lesson

Perhaps a Bachelor’s degree or even a Master’s degree will help one to achieve great wisdom. Or maybe just a life time of experience is what one needs to gain this kind of wisdom. Wright (1989) defines wisdom as “The practical translation and application of the Word of God to everyday life.” (p. 69) Wright (1989) does not speak of the kind of wisdom gained through scholarly books. He speaks of Biblical wisdom. He speaks of the wisdom that comes from great scriptures such as Proverbs 2:10-11, “When
unique and very special thing of friendship. This amazing friendship we get to see is between two girls, Maddie and Julie. Because of their job and missions, they are both required to have code names throughout the book. These girls know exactly what kind of trouble they would get into if any code name was given away and most importantly, the trust they would break from their friendship. The reason why we see Maddie and Julie have such a strong friendship is because of the time spent between them and
compares dying to a ride in a horse carriage, and enjoys the company of Death. As they travel around town, Dickinson reminisces her childhood and her adulthood; they pause before a nearly buried house - buried by her memories and reminiscences. At last, the carriage brings her towards an eternity with death. Through unusual symbolism, personification and ironic metaphors Dickinson says that death is a mysterious being. Dickinson portrays death as an optimistic struggle, while most people have a shocking
Stephen Crane uses several different poetic and stylistic devices in his lyrical organic poem, “Do not weep, maiden, for war is kind”. For instance, the structure of the poem is made up of five stanzas. The purpose of the poem is to explain to readers the horror and distraction that comes with war. “These men where born to drill and die”-Lines 19. War also comes between families and loved, ones tearing them apart. “Mother.../... shroud of your son”-23-24. Dominant devices prevailing in the poem are
silent room, most likely referring to an indoor area. However, the lines can be vague on its reference of whether the narrator is talking about the silence other than the fly or that the fly is in the narrator’s mind and the room really is silent. The last line of the first stanza writes, “Between the Heaves of Storm—” (Dickinson 4). This line shows the reader tension. The phrase “calm before the storm” might come into mind. This tells the reader that the room the speaker lies in is very tense. This
