Analysis of Dixon's "Shaken from her Sleep"

In Remember, there is heavy repetition of the word ‘remember’. This emphasizes the main objective of the poem, which was to tell the narrator’s partner to never forget her. The first ‘Remember me’, is almost like an order, although it is in no way threatening or commanding, more desperate. The use of ‘me’, a personal pronoun, gives the poem a more intimate tone. This makes the reader feel like they are delving deep inside the narrator’s thoughts, and they are on a very private level of her mind.

The author employs numerous literary devices such as diction, visual imagery, and personification to set the scene of a woman struggling with her self-image and getting to know her true self. Sylvia Plath incorporates various diction throughout the poem which can be noticed certainly due to the use of simple sentences and phrases that are comprehensible to the average readers. Packed with implicit and subtext notions, the device helps in portraying the different emotions and feelings of the mirror as well as the ageing woman toward the present appearance. In the poem, diction indicates a calm and peaceful tone which becomes evocative and sentimental to the subject (woman) as well as the audience. However, a shift in the middle of the poem alters the mood and even the theme in which the tone is largely agitated, pessimistic, and anxious.

Nevertheless such interactions limit the extent to which she can truly have her own identity, more notably on a cultural and familial aspect. In fact, Salie is trapped between her imaginative world of writing, and the world in that she suffers from alienation. As the story ensues Salie progressively loses grip on her past, which is portrayed when she nostalgically recalls the songs she heard and sang during her childhood. Because this novel is reflective of Diome’s life, one may expand on the fact that Diome had a difficult childhood where she was vastly an outsider, but where her self-education, and determination, helped her spearhead towards success and ultimately write her first novel: The Belly of the Atlantic.

Each author had their own brilliant idea of how people should write their poetry, and if a new author followed their advice, they could become excellent modern poets. The reason why modern poetry has hit it big in the modern age of literature is because of the simplicity of the writing, but even the free verse poems still require several rules to abide too. Ideas such as the ones suggested in Of Modern Poetry, Ars Poetica, and Poetry, are very helpful to developing a chilling poem; writing what comes to the mind and satisfies it, being beautifully silent, and having truly original work. Stevens had a standard idea in his poem, Of Modern Poetry, to write what satisfying to the mind, and the beautiful factors to it. Once a person has found their satisfaction, their mind and body thrives for, just as the poem mentions, thus, being a perfect way to write flawless poetry.

As such, the reader derives a deeper understanding of the action, “like lifting a veil.” In summary, the explication of “Design” served to process both poems by examining one, then identifying and comparing the changes. Such a maneuver provided a clearer perspective of Frost’s initial rendering and subsequent finished work. Thus, exposing their subtle differences resulted in a way to compare the work and draw a subjective conclusion regarding the more effective poem. However, one must remain mindful that without the lesser first “draft,” the second would have had no life.

Learning is an on‑going process that never ends. To acquire information is to not just by listening to lectures and answering test questions correctly.

The structure of the poem is quite unusual due to it not being broken down into regular and conventional stanzas. The form of the poem reminds the reader of how your language develops and grows over time. The first part of the poem explains the problem Bhatt has of being fluent in two languages. She repeats ‘tongue’ and uses the image of having ‘two tongues in your mouth’ to try to convey the difficulty of it to the reader. The next part of the poem explains how when she is asleep she dreams in her mother tongue, it is the middle of the poem and the centre of the conflict she is experiencing as she feels she is not content with either language and worries she may lose her Indian Identity by taking on the second language as she is stuck between cultures.

Ramsay 's need to read everyone, especially her husband, Woolf shows the loneliness Mrs. Ramsay feels even with her family close by.

Mrs. Ramsay tries to convince herself that she is content in her family life but her views on the life in general show that she is a deeply unhappy woman. In order to deal with this unhappiness, Mrs. Ramsay reads people as a way to feel close to them.

The lack of prescribed meter allows Pound to bring out the rawness of the emotions of the wife, drawing the reader directly into her loneliness without having to overcome the barrier of an overly structured presentation. In the midst of longer sentences, the two short ones with one-syllable words draw significant attention to the emotional impact that the nature has on the speaker. When writing about the changing season, the falling leaves and the paired butterflies, the speaker remarks, “They hurt me. I grow older” (Pound). These short sentences capture the attention of the reader as the poem reaches its climax in which the wife acknowledges her deep sorrow for the long absence of her husband.
