Comparing and contrasting Not My Best Side and Warning
Not my Best and Warning are about stereotypes and how these poems go
against that. In not my best side the stereotype is that the three
characters are meant to go with their roles, good the knight, bad the
dragon and helpless the princess but don’t. In Warning the old woman
is going to go against society by wearing clothes, which do not go,
and buying items, which are useless.
Not my best side is about Uccellos painting of St George and the
Dragon the poet tried to put words to the people in it. The narrative
of this poem is it goes through all the people in the poem starting
with the dragon then the princess then the knight. First the Dragon
says how the artist did not let him pose properly and how he could not
draw anything apart from triangles as if he were mocking the artist.
Then he starts to mock his conqueror and his horse by saying it has a
deformed neck and square hoofs. Then starts to insult his victim by
Saying she is “Unattractive as to be inedible” which means he would
never eat something that ugly. After that he is a bit sarcastic by
saying “I would have liked more blood to show they where taking me
seriously” this means that he would have took more damage than that do
kill him.
The princess is saying she is not sure if she wants to be rescued. She
had grown to like the dragon and even found him sexy. She says “He was
so nicely physical, with his claws and lovely green skin, a...

...to be old and the poet is warning people that this is going to
happen, so you better get used to it. It’s also about what society
expects her.
The form of the two poems is they have no rhyme scene and no metre.
This is because the two poems are going against society so they are
emphasising this. The question you should ask is do I want what
society expects? Most of the time the answer will be yes but these
poems have gone against that. Not my best side and warning are in 1st
person talking about him or her. Also warning has varying line length,
irregular, unstructured and varying line length. It has all these
thing because again it is going against society. Not my best side and
Warning both are about stereotypes and facing reality of life that
everyone will grow old, or the reality of facing life alone. They all
try and help prevent this from happening.
The poem is written in the style of free verse. The poet chooses not to separate the poem into stanzas, but only by punctuation. There is no rhyme scheme or individual rhyme present in the poem. The poems structure creates a personal feel for the reader. The reader can personally experience what the narrator is feeling while she experiences stereotyping.
In the text it says,” So that no way in the world can you get rid of that nasty hard thing; it is very bad! Yes, Very bad! At least I thought so.” This evidence shows us that the author uses first person point of view to show that the horse does have feelings about things his owner does to him. Another piece of evidence is, “ I certainly did feel queer; but I must say I felt rather proud to carry my I felt rather proud to carry my master, and as he continued to ride me a little every day I soon became accustomed to it.” this evidence shows us that the horse still has feelings and different emotions towards different things that are happening with them or around
The form of a poem is what type of poem it is. This poem is a free verse poem because there are no stanzas or rhyming patterns.

He soon realizes that the boarding of a wild stallion upon the Drake causes the excitement in the air. With much struggle, the stallion is placed in a makeshift stall within the ship and it causes quite a ruckus as its hooves crack against the wood and its whistle pierces the air. Alec has an immense love for horses and one night he gets a chance to visit the stallion up close. He witnesses the horse with its head out the window of the stall staring at the expanse of the ocean, but once it sees him it whistles once more and retreats into the darkness. The boy leaves a sugar cube on the windowsill for the stallion and then returns to his cabin for the night. Each night after, Alec continues to leave a sugar cube for the horse to eat once he has retreated to his cabin for the night.
leave little to the imagination, Dickinson uses very few, carefully selected words, forcing the reader contemplate the meaning of the poem and create his own image of the scene being described. Another outstanding difference between these poems is the rhyme scheme and meter used. Whitman's poem contains no obvious meter or rhyme, but is written freely and without any apparent structure. Dickinson, on the other hand, uses an abcbdefe slant rhyme scheme, as well as an obvious meter.
When considering the structure of the poems, they are similar in that they are both written loosely in iambic pentameter. Also, they both have a notable structured rhyme scheme.
The knight then recalls a dream he had where his darling would be an elf-queen. He continued riding until he found a secret place called the Land of Faery. There he met a great giant whose name was Sir Oliphant. The giant threatened Sir Thopas to leave the land where the Queen of Faery resides or he would be killed. After hearing this Sir Thopas answered that when he has his armor both of them would fight to the death. This scene is an example of how
Both of the poems, I believe, use a free style of writing. There are no rhyme schemes. The speaker of both poems is the narrator himself; however, the reader for the first one is any person, and the reader for the second one is the father.
Although the imagery in each poem is distinct, the similarity of message in both poems is evident. The poems are similar in that the narrator’s lives are empty and contain no passion for pursuing anything. The ideas reflected in these poems are seen even today, in such things as listless living and job-related apathy. Both poems suggest that a life where dreams of meaningless things are pursued will end without purpose or significance.
Therefore, although both poems are written on similar topics, the poems are quite different, mainly only agreeing on the fact that war is wrong.
These poems are different in their forms. Roethke, in his poem “My Papa’s Waltz” uses a closed form with a distinct pattern and a rhyme scheme. This poem follows an ABAB rhyme scheme. On the other hand, Hayden’s poem “Those Winter Sundays” is written in open form. It does not follow any rhyme scheme. The poets use different tones for the poems. In case of “My Papa’s Waltz”, the poet uses a tone full of excitement and joy as he describes the way he danced with his father, while in “Those Winter Sundays”, the poet uses a tone of melancholy when he describes the way his father did little things which no one noticed. The imagery used in the first poem is also different from that used in the second one. “My Papa’s Waltz”, uses imagery like “romping”, “waltzing” which reveals his excitement. On the other hand, in Hayden’s poem, there is no such warmth in the human
Both poems where written in the Anglo-Saxton era in Old English and later translated into English. As well as both poems being written in the same time period, they are both elegiac poems, meaning they are poignant and mournful.
In the first poem “Not My Business” the structure is quite simple. The poem is split up into four different verses. The first three verses are in a regular structure they are seven lines long and the last three lines repeat themselves. Whereas the last verse is irregular it is made up of five lines and those three lines are not repeated in this verse. I think the poet has structured it like this so that:-
