Coffee Spills Poem Analysis
There are many different ways to express a poem such as verbally, drawing, acting and teaching. Throughout Coffee Spills’ presentation, they used their poems to display the theme of creativity. “My Voice” helps the presentation work by showing the one of the many ways to convey poetry.
Silvia Garcia wrote, “My Voice” to express herself through one of the ways of conveying poetry. If there wasn’t a literary element the poem wouldn’t have been as strong. Using point of view, Garcia writes “just close your eyes and feel for me” (Garcia 12-13). The poem follows the perspective of the headphones. When the headphones give the user the music, they control the user and send them to a peaceful place. Therefore, the author uses P.O.V. to demonstrate

    Only owning a hedgehog for a few weeks, I quickly realized that the poor thing got rather dirty. Small pieces of the cage liner and nesting materials easily became lodged between the quills that covered his back. Bathing a hedgehog can't be that difficult. I remembered back to the instructions the pet store clerk told me. Use tear free soap, scrub him with a toothbrush, and use a flannel like fabric to dry him. Determined to make my hedgehog look as pristine as possible I pursued the necessary materials. I quickly found an unused toothbrush and the tear free soap, but the flannel fabric seemed silly. I’m not entirely sure what flannel really was, so I decided to use a regular old towel instead. After inspecting the towels tag,…

    For centuries, stories have been told amongst people all around the world. As time went on, people have searched for ways to help better memorize these stories. Stories were often written down by those who could write, which at the time was a small percent of people in the world. For those that couldn't write, they had no choice but to pass stories on verbally. These people soon realized that over time, stories are not always told properly, or are purposely changed. Stories told by song are not only kept the same, but they are also easier to remember. For example, during slavery, slaves depended on songs to lead them to freedom. One song was "Follow the Drinkin' Gourd." This song gave specific instructions on how to follow the stars, evade…

    Roadblocks: Poem Analysis

    Many writers on their venture to becoming great, are faced with roadblocks. I too feel those stresses. When sitting down to begin a story, novel, or poem we all strive to be different. But as Baldwin explains, "there is no original thought, because we all humans think and feel has been thought and felt so many times before, by so many generations." This in itself makes starting writing a very daunting task. Not to mention the sea of fellow authors you are competing with for limited shelf space. A trip to a jam packed bookstore reiterates this feeling instantaneously. Really, what sets the writer apart is the original perspective and finding out what shape to give it to really hold the readers attention. This can all be achieved through the power in…

    In the essay, “Blasting Music to Drown Out Reality”, by Sydney J. Harris, the author is determined that people use music as a way to, “keep reality at arm's length”. “It is not in order to hear the music, but in order that the vacuum in their minds may be soothed by the sound, so that silence does not force them into thinking about themselves or experiencing the real world of perception and sensation.” This shows how music has be used as earplugs to block away people's connection to the world around them, to silence their troubles if only for a moment. This thesis is explicit to make sure the readers can easily identify what the author's argument is going to be when they are examining the essay. Some examples of how music being used in the text were: the young assistants blasting music from the radio, elevator music in factories and restaurants to keep the workers from falling asleep or complaining about how tedious their jobs are, and in the dentists' office where it is relatively soft and easy to ignored.…

    The reality of the mouse, Lennie, and George, thought they could live are virtually indistinguishable. The poem, To a Mouse by Robert Burns, in which the mouse thought she was prepared, but in reality her home is destroyed, is where the two pieces are found similar. "Thou saw the fields laid bare an' west, An'weary winter comin fast, An' cozie here, beneath the blast, Thou thought to dwell, Till crash! The cruel coulter past Out thro' thy cell" (Burns 5). To represent the relationship between Of Mice of Men by John Steinbeck and the poem the first piece of evidence used is, "They all sat still. All bemused by the beauty of the thing, each mind was popped into the future when this lovely thing should come about" (Steinbeck 60). George has hope in seeing a future where they live their dream eventually if they kept working hard with Candy's help.…

    The works we studied within Creative Writing were all helpful in creating my own works to submit to the class. Throughout all of the reading, many of the works inspired me in different ways, whether it was short story plot ideas or word usage in the poems. While crafting my work for the final portfolio, I reviewed many of the poems from our poetry packet in an effort to find inspiration and to create new interesting images. I took the most inspiration for my formal poem, which I found most difficult to write. One of the poems that was most useful to me was Jilly Dybka’s “Memphis, 1976.” Dybka’s poem follows the sestina form; I also wrote my last poem in this form, so it helped to follow the form by looking at her poem as an example. Dybka’s…
