Romantic Period
“Death is like a flower growing in a patch of weeds. Even where there is bad/evil the end will be beautiful.” The simile I wrote means that every person is going to through a hard time in their life but no matter how hard or awful it is you will end in a beautiful place called Haven. While reading William Cullen Bryant’s poem I came to the conclusion that we have somewhat of the same views.

Elderly people are always a very different, yet interesting type of people. Of course, they have been around longer than all of us here today and therefore experienced many things in their long journey in this world. Since they have been around for so much longer there is much more wisdom installed within these people. They have seen, experienced, and know much more about life than those of us who are young and inexperienced. As a young person it sometimes can be very hard to stay interested in what someone who is older has to say, it’s easier to just tune them out until their story is over. Yet if a young person were to listen to what that elderly person had to say with no doubt there would be something taught or various words of advice would be given. The idea of this is greatly represented in Samuel Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner when the mariner grabs a hold of a young man and tells him a story while teaching him some important things. In The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Coleridge, Coleridge explains the mariner’s lifelong penance, his affect on the audience and a lesson about human life is suggested.
The Issues
The question is: What do you think the grandmother meant when she said to the Misfit, “Why you’re one of my babies. You’re one of my own children!” Why do you think the Misfit killed her when she said that? Since the question is two parts, I’ll answer it in two parts.

"Tintern Abbey": Millennialism and Apocalypse Thought in S. T. Coleridge and William Wordsworth's Poetics
Storming of the Bastille 1789 [1]
During and in the aftermath of the French Revolution, millennialist thought – independent of the myriad of economic and historical reasons for its precipitation – influenced many authors. Many people perceived the French Revolution as a foreshadowing of an Apocalypse that would usher in a new millenarian epoch, one levelling social distinctions between people and bringing about what was believed to be Christ's absolute rule. Samuel Taylor Coleridge was such a writer influenced by millennialist and apocalyptic belief in the late-eighteenth-century. His early writings and visions, such as in Religious Musings (1794-6), and Pantisocracy (1794), as well as his proposed communal experiment on the Susquehanna River in the United States, mark his belief in a millennium that would eliminate the social evils that he saw as detrimental to both individuals and the society in which he lived.
Death, feared by one, embraced by the other, it is the inescapable fate of all living beings. From death granting you access to the realm of God in Catholicism, to it being nothing more than a stepping stone in the cycle to Enlightenment in Buddhism, the topic of death is the root of many cultures and religions around the world. Poetry has taken upon itself to describe all aspects, and views, of death. Emily Dickenson, author of the poem “Because I could not stop for Death,” pleads that death is a journey. She has a positive outlook on death, and describes the passage that one would take, through memories, to the afterlife. Famous Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas thinks differently. In his poem, “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night,” he portrays that death is discriminating entity, and should be resisted. Both “Because I could not stop for Death” and “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night” illustrate the positive and negative aspects of death, the main ways that they express death is through the use of imagery, the structure of the poem, and the common theme of mortality.
Sylvia Plath may be one of the most remarkable and idolized modern poets of the twentieth century. Sylvia Plath had an emotional life, and a troublesome past with her father's death, insecurities because of self-doubt, a tragic break up with her husband and severe depression, leading to her suicide in 1963. These tragic events in Plath’s life played a vast part in her career as a poet and novelist, by inspiring her to create her melancholy and notorious masterpieces.

Explain how Hardy shows loss and regret in his poems
A writer by the name of Thomas Hardy, was born on the second of June
1940, Dorchester, in Higher Bockhampton, near the countryside, this
affected his writing, because his writing always made some sort of
reference to nature. Hardy wrote poems and novels. His novels are
largely known, his novels were influenced by society, and the main
factors within society were the class system for the rich and the poor
and inequality and discrimination for women.
Hardy got married to his first wife Emma in 1874, although the
beginning of their marriage got off to a brilliant start, it was not a
very happy marriage for the rest of their time together. Emma inspired
Hardy’s writing.
