There are also similarities in the fact that there are sexual references in both of the poems.“The bed we loved in was a spinning world/of forests, castles, torchlight, clifftops, seas/where he would dive for peals.” In ‘Frau Freud’ the poem contains a list of euphemism for penises that men use.One of the main similarities between the poems is that they are both written by wives of two very famous men, William Shakespeare and Sigmund Freud.Compare and contrast Anne Hathaway and Frau Freud in Duffy’s collection The World’s Wife There are both similarities and contrasts between ‘Anne Hathaway’ and ‘Frau Freud ‘One of the mail similarities between the two poems are the sexual references in both poems , the structure of the poems and that th...

This is clearly shown through the way that both the poems are written.However, once studying the two poems it is quite noticeable that both poems distinguish and highlight religion.However, in On My First Sonne there is a use of punctuation to create the tempo meaning the audience are less involved with the poem.While in contrast, the techniques used in On My First Sonne shows a traditional English poem about his love to his son.This technique is used to make the poem capture the audience and get into the character of a slave.

To conclude, both are poems that show how reactions to nature can change dramatically over a short period of time.Both poems could be aptly described as dramatic monologues, especially An Advancement of Learning which mimics the style of classic poems that involved and epic battle.Finally, we must consider the context in which the poems were written.This could convey how the speaker in Heaney’s poem is reacting spontaneously to nature, whereas in Hardy’s poem the speaker is carefully considering his actions.With reference to the ways each poet uses language, compare and contrast what the speakers in the poems say about reactions to nature.

Both the poems, “Shall I compare thee..?” and “Ballad” mention the weather.“Porphyria’s Lover”, written by Robert Browning, gives you a dramatic insight into the mind of a abnormally possessive lover, and “Shall I Compare thee..?”, written famously by William Shakespeare, is about true love, and immortalises someone through the “eternal” lines of a sonnet.“Shall I compare thee..?” also contains nature imagery; “Rough windes do shake the darling buds of Maie,” but “Porphyria’s Lover” uses it to show how beautiful his dead lover’s eyes are.“Shall I compare thee..” Starts off with a rhetorical question asking “Shall I compare thee to a summers day?”, and tells us how much the person he loves is better than British weather at its best.Both t...

In this essay I am going to compare and contrast the way in which love is presented in the poems ‘valentine’ by Carol Ann Duffy and ‘sonnet 130’ by William Shakespeare.The title of the poem Valentine’ sounds very romantic and suggests that the poem is about hearts and roses and other items linked with the word valentine, however, once the first line is read this assumption is wiped away.The writer uses juxtaposition to compare an onion to a ‘moon wrapped in brown paper’.Compare and contrast the way in which love is presented in the poems ‘valentine’ by Carol Ann Duffy and ‘sonnet 130’ by William Shakespeare.This contrast changes the tone of the poem.

Their lack of money is shown by phrases such as "bunny chows," "working mans café" and "plastic table top", which all contrast to the luxuries the whites' have.The poem is written in Standard English; in some ways it is more like prose than poetry.The two poems I am comparing are Two Scavengers in a truck, Two Beautiful people in a Mercedes', written by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, which shows the contrast between rich and poor in San Francisco, and Nothings Changed', written by Tatamkhulu Afrika.In comparison, although the poems in general are written about different experiences and things that have happened, if you look at their deeper meaning they are very similar; both about the contrast of people just because of something about their a...

This would make the line translate to "I love you to the depth and width and height."In many ways these two sonnets can be compared and contrasted based upon poetic devices such as word choice, figurative language, and imagery.In sonnet 116 by William Shakespeare the word choice, as in Browning's Sonnet 43, also uses words that are not common to everyday conversations in the English language.In Shakespeare's sonnet 116 the first sign of figurative language is introduced in lines five through eight, "O no!The word choice in Sonnet 43 and Sonnet 116 can be compared as well as contrasted, based on the way the words are used, and also the types of words the authors both Browning, as well as Shakespeare have chosen.

The fact that the entire poem takes place indoors is symbolic in the way that the child will never age again, and that he or she has already become all that they can be and is trapped that way forever.The styles that Atwood uses in both poems can be analyzed in a similar fashion, which is the key to determining where the line is drawn between illusion and reality.Ironically, the title of the poem is “This is a Photograph of Me” however, the photograph is not of her, it is merely a photograph of a beautiful landscape.The use of such connotation contributes considerably to the writing styles and theme of the poem.To conclude, the theme and writing styles of the poems “This is a Photograph of Me” and “Morning in the Burned House” are simila...

This could be because of the contrast between each of her poems and the different themes she uses in each poem.The idea of hope in the “chillest land/And on the strangest sea,” is a quite philosophical way of viewing the world.I think the poem is trying to convey that even though things can seem bleak, hope can always pull you through it.Dickinson’s poem ‘I Could Bring You Jewels — had I a mind to –‘ is similar to ‘Hope is the Thing with Feathers’ in regards to the tone of the poem.What is striking about the poem is its absolute simplicity, both in structure and in the words the poem presents.

I think both poems are trying to show the readers how others live.These descriptive phrases create an image of an evil bird, which she then goes on to compare to a commandant, saying that this evil man is so much worse than a vulture.In scavengers the lines are indented in an irregular manner to create an affect; the affect is to break up the poem on the page, in the same way that the people in the poem are separated by lifestyles.I think that this last sentence is like the key to the whole poem.The structure of Scavengers and Vultures is different yet alike in some ways.

He gives the poem it’s meaning in the final rhyming couplet by saying that just as Summer fades, so will her beauty and she will eventually die, but so long as the poem is read, her beauty will always be kept alive through the poem.In a way though, this helps the poem as it makes it seem more authentic – it’s written in such a way that the person it’s written to can put Burns’ voice to it, making it’s words strike a chord with the reader.He is also simultaneously criticising other Sonnet writers “false compare”, and asking them to stop their blatantly lying about how beautiful their lover is.The poem that I think is most different from the rest is First Love, because it is really a lot more about the author than anything else and it isn’...

The use of the word offspring, which usually refers to the child of an animal, links people to the vultures in the poem.The two poems present people in different way using different adjectives and linguistic features.It also means that when you read it, you stop at different places, and this might make you think about different ideas in the poem, and what you think of modern life.So the poem presents humans negatively, with an evil side, but also shows how these kinds of people also have a more tender side to them, just like the vultures.For example in the first couple of lines in the poem ‘greyness’ is used, which create the idea that it is a dull scene, but the contrast with the words ‘sunbreak’ give a more positive effect.

Comparably to “Plena Timoris”, the reader gets an immediate implication of what the poem is about from the title; in this case, war.In contrast to “Plena Timoris” however, she is not frightened of death, nor scared of what will become of her, and needless to say death has not made her reconsider her relationship with the one she loves.The cruelness and realism of death are also made present throughout the poem, shown through Achebe’s use of deathly connotations such as “ghost” and “skull”.All in all, these alternate depictions of death are not only successfully accentuated by contrast, but by use of vivid language and imagery as well.In this sonnet, the octet is used to depict the problem, “You understand it will be late to counsel then ...

This is in contrast to the speaker’s views of the “mystic” sound of the drums which the speaker views as a simple, but magical instrument.Therefore, in order to execute his use of imagery successfully, he proceeds further by making a clear contrast between the images of a sophisticated society in contrast to a primitive society.The use of the sound coincides with the use of imagery yet the sound of the drums and the “mystic rhythm” lures the readers into the poem and assists them in hearing the rawness of the drums and also sets a jungle-like atmosphere to the poem.In consideration of these symbols, the speaker implements more imagery to further display the contrast between the two symbols and emphasize the disorientation the speaker is ...

Through Duffy’s use of words we as readers can learn more about the character she is portraying/ A device that Duffy has used in this poem and with a lot of previous poems is the use of ellipsis.” Both of the personas in these poems are not happy or jubilant in any way, they are depressing figures that eventually come to their end.This poem is full of rage and anguish, unlike Fraud where the main tone was demeaning of others.The first literary device used in this poem, in the first line is an oxymoron when referring to her lover.This poem is not normally structured; it does not flow as most poems do.

Now that I’ve given my own opinion let’s compare and contrast materialism and idealism.Let’s start with materialism which means according to google in regarding to philosophy means “the doctrine that nothing exists except matter and its movement and modifications.” Now idealism according to google in regarding to philosophy means “any of various systems of thought in which the objects of knowledge are held to be in some way dependent on the activity of mind.” First, let’s compare materialism and idealism from a definition point of view now we can’t really compare the 2 other saying that both have to do with the mind just.Lastly, I talked about political philosophy and gave my ideal government as well as compare and contrasted Aquinas and...

In these two powerful lines “And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare | As any she belied with false compare” the speaker shows us that he doesn’t have to make false comparisons just to express how much he truly loves her mistress by comparing her eyes to the brightness of the sun, her cheeks to roses, or her voice to music.A Petrarchan sonnet usually romanticizes the beloved but here in sonnet 130, Shakespeare has a different way of proclaiming his love to his mistress.The readers will see that the contrast of the beautiful images in nature is readily established in the first quatrain.The poem is not just a mere parody to the mistress’ physical attributes but deeper analysis would suggest that it is Shakespeare parody for the convent...

The poem shows the importance of identity in different ways.Both poems have a changing tense, reflecting the idea of changing identity.She imagines that knowing two languages is like having two tongues she compares her tongue to a flower: ‘would rot and die, it grows back, grows strong veins’ there are two main images created throughout the poem which contrast each other.The Guajarati has more ‘plosives’ and is harsh sounding, whereas in contrast the English is softer sounding.‘Prickly heat had me screaming on the way’ emphasises pain and the difficulty of being divided between two cultures.

The poems we had read before were not this rhythmic and pleasant to the ear.Later in the poem Wordsworth uses another simile, saying the dancing of daffodils in the wind is “continuous as the stars that shine and twinkle on the Milky Way.” This line creates the image of the wind blowing the tops of random daffodils up and down in a haphazard matter, so they appear to twinkle momentarily as their faces catch the sun.The occasion was him remembering the sight of nature the daffodils and the “lonely cloud.” He is in a way showing us how he likes to reflect on nature and use it as an inspiration.The next line of poem says “I saw a crowd, a host, of golden daffodils.” Here Wordsworth is using a metaphor to compare the daffodils to a crowd of ...
