Emily Dickinson's Literary Devices And Techniques
... schemes I her poetry. For instance in "Heart! We will forget him!" she uses a rhyme scheme of: A, B, C, B. The first stanza goes like this:
"Heart! We will forget him! / You and I tonight /
You may forget the warmth he gave / I will forget the light."

Emily Dickinson: Her View Of God
... to
inquire about things that only God was capable of answering.
In Dickinson's poem, "I Shall Know Why-When Time Is Over", she is
describing her 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 ...

each stanza rhyme's.
Some of the imagery is with sight and sound. For sight they are “
Close to the sun”, “Azure world”, azure mean the blue color in a clear
daytime sky. “Wrinkled sea beneath”, and “mountain walls”. The only one

Sir Gawain And The Green Knight
... work within such guidelines and what the significance is of breaching
those guidelines. By employing the chivalric convention in romantic
literature and then going beyond it to reveal other ways of thinking, the
writer challenges the very notion of chivalric conventions of the
surrounding social climate. He demonstrates throughout the work a need for
balance. As symbolied by the pentangle worn by Sir Gawain, representing
the balanced points of chivalric virture, each being codependent of the
other in order to remain a whole, the narrative could be considered as a
What accompanies an appreciation for the seemi ...

Elizabeth Bishop And Her Poem "Filling Station"
... oil-soaked, oil-
permeated/ to a disturbing, over-all/ black translucency". A closer
inspection of the passage reveals quite a visual oil-soaked picture. This
is created in large part by the oily sounds themselves. When spoken out-
loud the diphthong [oi] in oil creates a diffusion of sound around the
mouth that physically spreads the oil sound around the passage. An
interesting seepage can also be clearly seen when looking specifically at
the words "oil-soaked", "oil-permeated" and "grease-impregnated". These
words connect the [oi] in oily with the word following it and heighten the
spreading of the ...

Sharpio's "Auto Wreck": The Theme Of Death
... and relaying the emotions of the spectators with language and
several metaphors, the poem gains a realistic and sometimes transcendent effect.
In some places in the poem, the words can easily be taken literally to convey
scenery or an emotion, but they can also be taken so as to make the reader think
about possible higher meanings. The thoughtsexpressed in the poem help to
suggest these other meanings by clearly stating what is being felt by the
speaker and the crowd around the accident. By stating clearly and vividly the
emotions of the scene, it is easy for the reader to identify the theme itself,
and also to ide ...

The second instance “nevermore” is used Poe says that a man has
never been blessed by a raven sitting above his chamber door. The student
says the raven’s name is “nevermore” meaning the raven is a bearer of bad

befallen you, one ...

... he assures her that when she does these
things; sets her goals high, allows others to help prepare her for the
future, then she can use that base for support as she goes through life.

starting anything, such as a baby beginning life, an athlete beginning a

Merry-Go-Round: Critical Analysis
... of the poem.
McAvley uses the theme of this poem to suggest the tone, which shifts from excitement in the first two stanzas to detached cynicism in the last three stanzas. The tone of excitement is depicted by "the silent waiting merry-go-round invites" and by describing the riders as "eager" leaning in "intent, lips parted" with their "brief smiles float towards the watching crowd". The last three stanzas show the emphasised view of the cynical adult who is simply observing the children from a detached outside viewpoint. For example, "almost I see the marvel they see" is informing the reader that he is "almost ...
