Words: 542 / Pages: 2 .... does, he does what he loves and wants to do. The nature flows through him every time he swings the ax, and that's all that matters to him.
Also, in another work, frost writes about the beauty of nature. In the poem "The Road Not Taken ", the man has to make a decision at a fork in the middle of the road. He notices one road has been used many times and the other road looked hardly used "Because it was grassy and wanted wear"(8), he makes the choice to go down the one less traveled.

Element Of God In Poetry
Words: 1961 / Pages: 8 .... "Dost thou know who made thee?" So God
created man in His own image; in the image of God he created him; male and
female, He created them. Genesis 1:27 Anyone who has seen a lamb knows that
it is a weak creature; unable to protect it's self from the strength of an
evil predator. If we are the Lamb, then we must rely on the protection of
our Shepherd, God. Why would Blake call us a Lamb then? Aren't we stronger
than any other animal upon this earth? I think that God would tell us "No,"
for it is He who gives us life strength, as Blake says in the next few
lines… Gave thee life & bid thee feed, By the stream & o're the mead; Gave
thee clothing of .....

Beowulf: The Ultimate Hero
Words: 1771 / Pages: 7 .... glory to God. Beowulf is
the ultimate hero who put his life on the line for an entire kingdom.
Beowulf's heroism can be seen when he takes 14 of the bravest in
his land to go help Hrothgar. Hrothgar was Beowulf's father's close friend
who had been plagued by attacks for twelve years that threatened an entire
kingdom. Beowulf did not have to offer Hrothgar's kingdom help, but does
so because he wants to uses his God given strength to the best of his
ability. As soon as Beowulf heard of the troubles in this land he set sail
immediately. Beowulf continues to show his thankfulness by thanking God
for giving them safe travel across the sea. Beowul .....

Emily Dickinson: Her View Of God
Words: 919 / Pages: 4 .... feelings toward God. It appears as though she is angry with Him
because she cannot get any answers to her questions. Emily Dickinson feels,
that the answers to these questions will only come with death.
" I shall know why-when time is over-
And I have ceased to wonder why-
Christ will explain each separate anguish
In the fair schoolroom of the sky- (78)".
After she dies and God answers all of her questions, Dickinson then says:
" I shall forget the drop of anguish
That scalds me now-that scalds me now!"
This shows Dickinson's anger toward God. She does not want to have to die to
have her questions answered. Sh .....

Analysis Of Heaney's Punishment
Words: 1087 / Pages: 4 .... all your numbered bones" (Stanza 9)
These lines indicated the straight forward almost scientific nature of the poem, through Heaneys choice of unemotive words. This simplicity is seen throughout the poem, where the reader initially could perceive the poem to solely be about the life, and appearance of a 'bog woman'. However at a deeper level, Heaney looks at the very human society functions, both in ancient and present times. This us summed up at the end of the poem;
"who would connive
in civilized outrage
yet understand the exact
and tribal, intimate revenge" (Stanza 11)
Heaney here, writes that he does not only feel empathy and sym .....

Whitman's Democracy
Words: 336 / Pages: 2 .... in this poem, as it should shine upon all equally.
When Whitman discusses the "shunn'd persons" in "Native Moments" he once
again mimics the concepts of democracy with his words. He lets all know that he
embraces the people that others have rejected, as democracy should embrace all.
These people are part of America also, and should be accepted as such. as
democracy should embrace all.
Whitman commends the many people of America in "I Hear America Singing."
He writes of the mothers, and the carpenters. He says that they all sing their
own song of what belongs to them. In this poem Whitman brings these people from
all backgrounds together as Ame .....

Analysis Of "Because I Could Not Stop For Death"
Words: 1954 / Pages: 8 .... poem is written in five quatrains. The way in
which each stanza is written in a quatrain gives the poem unity and makes it
easy to read. "I Could Not Stop for Death" gives the reader a feeling of
forward movement through the second and third quatrain. For example, in line 5,
Dickinson begins death's journey with a slow, forward movement, which can be
seen as she writes, "We slowly drove-He knew no haste." The third quatrain
seems to speed up as the trinity of death, immortality, and the speaker pass the
children playing, the fields of grain, and the setting sun one after another.
The poem seems to get faster and faster as life goes through its cou .....

To Autumn By John Keats
Words: 854 / Pages: 4 .... as well as the mellowness of the season of harvest (line 1). In the line five, “The mossed cottage-trees,” sounds like the scrunch of teeth through an apple releasing the sharp flow of juice (line 5). The next line curves with the lushness of “swell the ground,” but any excess is checked neatly by the astonishing “plump” appearing as a verb and wonderfully solid and nutty to touch (line 7). The last three lines in the first stanza move heavily and lazily to that most summary of the sounds; the distant buzzing of bees, “later flowers for the bees” (line 9). The low sibilants and thrice repeated the sound of “mm” of the last li .....

Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening: An Analysis
Words: 530 / Pages: 2 .... to meet.
In the poem, the speaker expressed his thoughts through his horse. An example of this was demonstrated in stanza 5. He was self-conscience about being lost; so his concern may have been why his thoughts were voiced through his horse. Yet, he made no attempt to leave the woods immediately. We learn that the speaker's character is similar to the tone of the poem. For instance, the topic of the poem is about 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 lon .....
