Recommended: Two poems that are similar

The three poets convey the feelings of seriousness, happiness, and failure. In the poem “Simile”, Scott Momaday explains how people and the actions we do are similar to animals in which the comparison was towards deer. In “Moon Rondeau” by Carl Sandburg he illustrates that working together in a relationship, you may be able to accomplish a task and generate a strong bond. In the final poem “Woman” by Nikki Giovanni she displays how one may want to grow and be someone special to your significant other but they may not care of what their other may want. The three poets are illustrating the theme of humans being similar to animals in which case they either work together or they just ignore each other within the literary similarities and differences of the three poems. The three …show more content…

Because “woman” and “moon rondeau” helps to understand that they deal with relationships, “woman” and “simile” use imagery a lot to be able to show the expression of how people are, and “simile” and “moon rondeau” shows that if people work together things can be accomplished.The point I'm trying to prove is that I want the reader to be able get a better understanding of the poems as they[poems] are read. Because in “woman” it deals with relationships but it shows a the failure in it and it may also use imagery but it continues to be using different types of it, in “moon rondeau” it deals with relationships but shows the good in it by working together and having a strong bond, in “simile” the imagery used is only between people and deer and it expresses that as deer you can work together or not do anything. My final thought on my poem analysis is that I agree with all that the three poems have to convey in their writing and that it helps to better understand the poet's thoughts and feelings put into their

  • Poem Analysis: Before She Died By Karen Chase

    231 Words  | 1 Pages

    Death is a topic heavily conveyed in "Before She Died" by Karen Chase; the title is hopeful in it's mention of a time before death, but the poem is not. The presence of autumn is made aware to us, 'all the leaves gone almost from the trees,' (Line 3/4). Autumn in poetry usually has to do with decline and tiredness, this evident with the speaker 'not walk[ing] briskly through [a] field' (Line 4) and having to '[Lean] on [the speaker's dog]' (Line 6/7) for support. Along with the speaker's dog being 'aged' (Line 6), the author conveys a cogitative and somber tone using dark imagery, the depressing 'blue' (Line 6) of the sky and a poisonous 'strand of hemlock' (Line 8) present. Time is a common theme, the speaker mentioning how 'finite these

  • Dorothy Parker Poem Analysis

    When sorting through the Poems of Dorothy Parker you will seldom find a poem tha¬t you could describe as uplifting or cheerful. She speaks with a voice that doesn’t romanticize reality and some may even call her as pessimistic. Though she doesn’t have a buoyant writing style, I can empathize with her views on the challenges of life and love. We have all had experiences where a first bad impression can change how we view an opportunity to do the same thing again. Parker mostly writes in a satirical or sarcastic tone, which can be very entertaining to read and analyze.

  • Siren Song Poem Analysis

    213 Words  | 1 Pages

    The poem “Siren Song” is able to depict the sirens using a persuasive and taunting tone. The first six stanzas of the poem have a taunting tone. The siren is explaining to the reader that “anyone who has heard it [the song] is dead, and the others can’t remember.” The sirens are attempting to persuade the reader to do as they say, but at the same time telling them that they will end up dead. This is taunting the reader by telling them the negative things to come. A shift of tone occurs for the seventh stanza. The siren is addressing the reader and saying, “I will tell the secret to you, to you, and only to you… you are unique.” This changes the poem from being taunting to persuasive because it makes it personal. It now becomes about “you,”

  • Americanized: Poem Analysis

    1050 Words  | 3 Pages

    This darkly satiric poem is about cultural imperialism. Dawe uses an extended metaphor: the mother is America and the child represents a younger, developing nation, which is slowly being imbued with American value systems. The figure of a mother becomes synonymous with the United States. Even this most basic of human relationships has been perverted by the consumer culture. The poem begins with the seemingly positive statement of fact 'She loves him ...’. The punctuation however creates a feeling of unease, that all is not as it seems, that there is a subtext that qualifies this apparently natural emotional attachment. From the outset it is established that the child has no real choice, that he must accept the 'beneficence of that motherhood', that the nature of relationships will always be one where the more powerful figure exerts control over the less developed, weaker being. The verb 'beamed' suggests powerful sunlight, the emotional power of the dominant person: the mother. The stanza concludes with a rhetorical question, as if undeniably the child must accept the mother's gift of love. Dawe then moves on to examine the nature of that form of maternal love. The second stanza deals with the way that the mother comforts the child, 'Shoosh ... shoosh ... whenever a vague passing spasm of loss troubles him'. The alliterative description of her 'fat friendly features' suggests comfort and warmth. In this world pain is repressed, real emotion pacified, in order to maintain the illusion that the world is perfect. One must not question the wisdom of the omnipotent mother figure. The phrase 'She loves him...' is repeated. This action of loving is seen as protecting, insulating the child. In much the same way our consumer cultur...

Imagery according to Crowder Collage Introduction to Literature’s glossary, “The collective set of images in a poem or other literary work,” (1991).
