Man with a Song: Some Major and Minor Notes in the Life of Saint Francis of Assisi.As G. K. Chesterton says, “Francis of Assisi was a mirror of Christ”.The poem reveals many of Francis’ own teachings of chastity, poverty, and obedience along with the call to respect nature.After he was healed, Francis had another mystical experience while praying in a neglected church: “After a period of prayer and meditation, Francis heard the voice of Jesus coming from a nearby crucifix: ‘Francis go, repair my house, which, as you see, is falling completely to ruin’.” It was this call that inspired Francis to leave Assisi, determined to live more simply with his fellow monks.Sorrell, Roger D. Saint Francis of Assisi and Nature: Tradition and Innovatio...

We see the church as an organisation that we expect to do good and help people less fortunate than themselves, and yet in the poem, Assisi, the priest, a representative of the church completely ignores the dwarf, an example of a poor man who the church should be helping, walking straight past him, not even acknowledging the dwarfs existence.He shows the comparison of how elaborate and wonderful the church at Assisi is, and how there is a dwarf, with a very miserable life, sitting outside.The first four lines of the poem create an image of the dwarf which is not very pleasant.MacCaig refers back to the dwarf nearer the end of the poem, evoking even greater sympathy for him.“The dwarf with his hands on backwards/ Sat, slumped like a half-f...

“Assisi” by Norman MacCaig is an intriguing and thought-provoking poem, which has put across a definite point of view to me which I believe is that all people should be treated equally and we should try to help those less fortunate than ourselves.This is effective as it seems as though the dwarf cannot help himself and he is sitting there waiting for help.He does not approve of the tourists fluttering after the word and ignoring the poor dwarf, when in actual fact they should be helping him.A Critical Evaluation of Assisi Q: Choose a poem in which the poet has put across a definite point of view.He does not approve of the actions as it is compared to the parable of the sower of when he scatters the grain and the birds flutter after it.

I looked at such ideas as effective figures of speech, choice of words, important images, irony…….I have chosen a poem and studied it carefully, identified the littery techniques used.A poem that I have been studying recently is Assisi by Norman McCaig, which I found very interesting to read because it made a statement which relates to our world today even though the poem was wrote about thirty or forty years ago.The poem has lots of ideas including effective figures of speech, good choice of words, important images and irony.I think that these two techniques which were used by McCaig were really useful in describing the scenes he is trying to show the reader of the poem.

They stood by their moral beliefs and lived very humbly.These three men of God, Saint Dominic Guzman of the Dominican Order, Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Thomas Aquinas had and have a very significant value over the early years of Christianity.Without these great men and their ideas of spreading the word and living without worldly possessions, it is very possible that Christianity and Catholicism would be different than it is today.It was a different time back than when these Saints roamed the countryside and preached and prayed.It is easy to say that these three men lead their lives by example.

For starters, they believe they have a stewardship towards animals; therefore it is their responsibility to protect animals and not exploit them which is what occurs within the fur and ivory trade, so they see it as wrong.They are taught this in the teaching that “God made the world and gave humans dominion over it” consequently the welfare of animals is their responsibility and as animals in the trade are treated awfully it is very wrong.Most Christian’s are against the fur and ivory trade.They also believe in metta which states that loving kindness should extend to all living things, hence supporting the fur and ivory trade would be wrong because it does not tend to treat animals fairly and not cause harm.The Dhammapada states “All liv...

...ellent and efficacious means of giving glory to the Trinity.” (40) .The perfected Christian glorifies God in every situation, only because God has taught them how to do so.It is true that this is impossible on one’s own, but these people do not have faith in God.Constant communion with God both improves one’s perfection and increases one’s humility.Too often, people reject Christianity because it asks something of them that seems impossible, to be perfect and humble.

Leonardo da Vinci represents most strongly the secularist style in Renaissance art.For this reason, Renaissance painters created art to appease the society that held this esteemed opinion of them, that is art that involved the ancient Greek philosophy, religion, and popular secularist and humanist beliefs.This select group of individuals was in fact the majority of the thinking power of the Italian Renaissance.The Last Supper by Leonardo, The School of Athens by Raphael, Michelangelo's huge sculpture of the ancient Hebrew king David, Giotto's paintings of the Virgin Mary and Saint Francis of Assisi, and Masaccio's The Holy Trinity serve as an infinitesimally small sample of the vast selection of religiously inspired paintings, frescos, s...
