The Poetical Work And Polynesian Cultural Inheritances
.... in his poetry. Tuwhare was born in Kaikohe, and belongs to the Ngapuhi hapus Ngati Korokoro, Ngati Tautahi, Te Popoto, and Uri-O-Hau. In his poem ‘Papa-tu-a-nuku’, he uses Maori mythology. The title, ‘Papa-tu-a-nuku’, means ‘Earth Mother’, which is part of a number of nature’s elements that are personified in Maori mythology. Hense, the earth being personified as a mother, and the content of the poem involving this interaction with the earth:
We are massaging the ricked
back of the land
with our sore but ever-loving feet:
hell, she loves it!
Squirming, the land wriggles

“Fanthorpe’s Poetry Stimulates The Reader To See People And Things In A New Light”
.... this light, as no doubt it is quite true that people who work in hospitals have the same traits that the rest of us have. But we prefer to see people who are in charge of our health, our recovery or our lives even, as better and stronger than that. The title “Patients” has two sets of values. It is referring to the general patients of the hospital and also it is saying that everyone in the hospital is in fact a patient, including the staff.
The poem BC:AD is like its title, a short, snappy poem. It presents an unconventional way of looking at the birth of Christ. It challenges us to see this supposedly momentous occasion, the b .....

A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning
.... consider it innocent. I think (I do not know if I was right?) the author intended to indicate that death is just like the earthquake-brings harms and sorrow. Earthquake is not so common, when it happens, people are scared of it. On the other hand, when facing the death, human always feel nervous and sad, all they think is the miserable separation, seldom of them think that people can still promote the form of love to a higher spiritual standard. Death is not so serious-it is a way that every human being must pass through. On the contrary, the movement of the sphere exists every day, it is so usual that everyone is getting accus .....

Comparisons Of “Report Of The French Commission On American Education, 1879” To Mike Rose’s “I Just Wanna Be Average”
.... offered quite the opposite. It was a haven for long standing views on school being selective as to whom actually deserved the education. The only hope of the present school system is a few dedicated professionals. They could see the errors of the future and grasp to what made the system work in the past. Focusing on actual knowledge to better society at the basic level.
The present day of education still draws from the past in the aspect that a school is only as good as a system will allow. The emphasis is on education regardless of pre-set notions. Society today wants citizens to play an integral part of their children’s e .....

The Use Of The Color White In Frost's Poem "Design"
.... that represents darkness and death. By saying that the white spider and the dead moth are like ingredients of a witches brew is actually putting those two objects on a lower level of existence. Ingredients in witch brew are usually despicable items that are not worthy of any human being.
Frost talks about the spider on a white heal-all holding up a dead white moth. A heal-all is a flower traditionally known for its healing capabilities, but in this poem it is acting as a boxing ring for the spider and the moth. The moth saw a white spider and figured he was of no harm to him. The spider used his innocent mask to deceive t .....

"Ode On A Grecian Urn"
.... describes the panels on the urn that present ancient woodland scenes, they probably tell the history of a past way of life.
In the second and third stanzas Keats is talking about the music that is playing to the spirits, because he says "it's sweeter unheard." Also, that is must be young and very rich in love, because its love will never stop pursuit and will never fade away or leave. He is probably describing a love relationship between a man and woman who seem as if they have just met each other, because they are so happy. Another point he tries to contemplate is that the urn speaks to our present condition, but it has spo .....

Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening: An Analysis
.... a snowy evening in the woods, which could be viewed as pleasant and easy going as oppose to a hot summer evening in the city which is most often busy and frantic with lots of things to do. In addition, the speaker is obviously a loner, in that he takes this journey by his self. That is an example of him being a solitary person who is not confronted with conflict often. Ironically, his familiarity with the peacefulness of the woods provides a conflict, struggle, or pressure that he must deal with.
Even though the speaker eventually continued his journey to the village. His desire to dwell in the snowy surroundings loomed ove .....

Compare And Contrast The War Poems By Jessie Pope And Rupert Brooke To Those Of Wilfred Owen
.... in my opinion, her recruiting poem; “Who’s for the Game” is irresponsible. It gives young men, and their families who would want to persuade the men to join the army, a completely false image of war. However, it is an army recruitment poem, and for the reason it was written, I believe it is a very powerful and manipulative piece of propaganda . This is down to the way the poem is seemingly directed at YOU, no matter who is reading it. It makes you feel that if you do not join the army, you will be missing out on an amazing event:
“Who’ll give his country a hand?
[rather] Than lie low and be out of the fun”
You feel that yo .....

"The Ruined Maid” By Thomas Hardy
.... when ruined” (20), which contradicts with the melancholy tone of the poem, to some extent.
The recall of the conversation between the two girls comes to a climax when the narrator describes her fantasies as being like the other girl, she says, “I wish I had feathers…delicate face and could strut about Town” (21,22). Very quickly her excitement is suppressed by “My dear – a raw country girl, such as you be, cannot quite expect that” (23,24), and then a reasoning of being ruined is given, and in desperate tone the narrator is told that she doesn’t want to be in that situation.
There is a chronological set of all the stanz .....

Mother And Child In Sylvia Plath Poems
.... cardinal virtues; seven deadly sins; seven ages of man; seven days in a week and seven seals in the book of revelation. Although the range of emotions is spread between the poems, they do seem to follow a linear course as the sequence progresses. You’re begins with the persona (whom we can assume to be an expectant mother) talking to her foetus, and she believes that it is enjoying itself: "You’re/
Clown like, happiest on your hands". This could be a reflection of her own sentiments, implying that the mother to be is also contented. She seems sure that the baby will be ready to cope with any eventuality ("Gilled like a fish") wit .....

Maya Angelou's “No Loser No Weeper”
.... as a dime would make Angelou wish that she was dead. This remark signifies that the trauma in her life just bought thoughts of suicide. According to Compton’s Interactive Encyclopedia most suicides oc-cur when the bonds between an individual and society are broken.
She also explains how she lost a “doll once and cried for a week ,the doll could open her eyes and do all but speak”(Angelou 12). This part of the poem reminded us of an incident that happen to her when she was 8 years old. A friend of the family raped her. She then mentioned “it to her brother, and a couple of days later the guy was found dead”(Brown 25). Bec .....

Sir Gawain And The Green Knight
.... soldier that is only doing his duty by protecting faith in the monarchy that he is apart of. Gawain is a very humble person who will refuse to view himself as a hero.
The main test that Gawain is going to have to face is a test within himself. During the time before he had to make the journey to meet the Green
Knight Gawain heard from fellow knights that he was brave and strong. In reality they were very happy that it was not they making the journey, and they had no expectations of seeing Gawain again. When it came time for him to leave for the castle, he made sure he had all of his armor and his shield. This shield is very .....
