.... not similar. The passage stated, "It was just perfect in the way it was that place, that whole going to that place, that whole junior high school lion." That meant going to that place was like a lion. That is what makes this passage a metaphor. The fourth passage is a simile. The passage said that everything had changed. That it had changed so fast like the tablecloths magicians pull from under stuff on the table but the gasp from the audience makes it not matter. The passage was comparing going to junior high school to a tablecloth the magicians pull because junior high school was a big change to the boys. The gasp! from the audience meant .....

.... to God in the same poem is when Rosenberg refers to the "limbers," wheels of a cannon being pulled, carrying the dead as "Stuck out like many crowns of thorns," symbolizing Jesus's crown of thorns that he wore at his crucifixion. Finally they hear a sound, one of the soldier is still alive. He begs the cavalry to hasten their search and find him. The troops hear him and begin to come barreling around the bend only to hear the dying soldier murmur his last screams. In "Dulce," the regiment are tired and marching like "old hags" because they are fatigued. As the enemy discovers them they attack by dropping a gas bomb on the men. As they scatter fo .....

.... between the two. The Bible is a religious book that millions read and tend to believe in. It is religious dogma which church officials expect one to believe as the truth. Science fiction is an eerie subject in which there is no proof and which many also believe. The two are very separated in their ideals because they both have a completely different set of beliefs. They are both very mysterious things that lack conclusive proof. Updike’s experience at the end is somewhat religious because he is completely awed by something so mysterious (the birds). Next the author’s organization of the poem also contributes to the climactic ending. In eac .....

.... (1). He quickly introduces the theme of death and compares the dead leaves to "ghosts" (3). The imagery of "Pestilence-stricken multitudes" makes the reader aware that Shelley is addressing more than a pile of leaves. His claustrophobic mood becomes evident when he talks of the "wintry bed" (6) and "The winged seeds, where they lie cold and low/ Each like a corpse within its grave, until/ Thine azure sister of the Spring shall blow" (7- 9). In the first line, Shelley use the phrase "winged seeds" which presents images of flying and freedom. The only problem is that they lay "cold and low" or unnourished or not elevated. He likens this with a fe .....

.... well as her concern for her child's well being. In the first stanza irony is used in order to make reading the poem more interesting. The situation in this first stanza is also very important. The little child is in a desperate situation and wants to help better the lives of the African Americans. Randall also focuses on specific culture here. The speaker is allowing the reader to make a mental picture of one specific march in Birmingham (Hunter 17). But, you know as well as I, that with peace marches and rallies comes violence and hostility. This is exactly what the little girls mother is afraid of, this is why she will not let her go to the march .....

.... killed. Once the Hangman began killing, nobody tried to step up and stop the Hangman (except for one person who was killed). In this case, the good men did not attempt to stop the evil. As a consequence for this lack of action, each person was killed because he serves the Hangman best. The way in which the good served the Hangman was by letting the evil triumph over the town. If a group had attempted to stop the Hangman, he could have possibly been stopped. Because only one person attempted to stop the evil, those who kept quiet were killed for helping the Hangman without realizing it. If the good men do nothing and make no attempt to halt th .....

.... use of nature, realistic setting. The idea for the poem sprung from Wordsworth's initial reaction to the state of London upon his return from France: ...(this was) written immediately after my return from France to London, when I could not but be struck...with the vanity and parade of our own country From this account it can be deduced that the poem was spontaneous in nature and originated from an internal response. The poem's use of a realistic setting occurs in line 2 with the reference of England as a "fen." This particular adjective e describes England as a "land wholly or partially cover .....

.... We will forget him! / You and I tonight / You may forget the warmth he gave / I will forget the light." With the use of rhyming tonight, in line 2, and light, in line 4, it adds to the clarity and smoothness of the poem. Poetry, which can incorporate rhymes into the body of the poem, makes the poem catchier and easier to remember. Rhyme also displays a writers creativity and intelligence to be able to pull up words which rhyme. The use of paradoxes in Dickinson's poems is another technique which she takes advantage of in order to make her poetry interesting and enjoyable. Paradoxes are contradicting subjects or statements Dickinson demonst .....

.... made of two, And this, alas, is more than we would do.(5-9) This stanza also says that the flea enjoys the mixing of blood which is referred to as sex. It is the authors comment that they have intercourse within the flea but that is more than the two of them do together. Saying to her that this would not be adultery suggests that she has a strong faith and is ethically bound to abide by the principals of her religion. His argument is to put down the religion by saying even the flea is mixing our blood, so why shouldn't we? That suggests that the flea is one of God's creatures and so it should follow the principals of God as well because it .....

.... a common purpose in mind; to immortalize the subjects of their poems by writing them down in verses for people to read for generations to come. By doing so, both of the poets are preserving the beauty of the subjects, which are the young friend of Shakespeare and Keats' "Grecian Urn." Beginning with Sonnet 18, and continuing here and there throughout the first major grouping of sonnets, Shakespeare approaches the problem of mutability and the effects of time upon his beloved friend in a different fashion. Instead of addressing the problem of old age, he emphasises his friend's attributes: "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more .....
