    Emily Dickinson And Malcolm Gladwell

    Some people believe that fate determines everything that happens in your life. While others believe that your hard work is what makes you successful. Which one is right? Two authors, Emily Dickinson and Malcolm Gladwell have the same statement, but which one better states that “How much of our lives do we actually control?” Emily wrote a poem that is called “Luck is not chance” this poem states that you have to work hard to be successful. Gladwell takes the same side as Emily, but Gladwell’s stronger evidence leads people to believe that he is better at proving the question “How much of our lives do we actually control?”…

    Poe and Whitman

    1. Edgar Allan Poe’s figurative language, such as personifying science as something that preys, gives his presentation of science a negative effect. It is plausible to believe that Poe is angry with science in some kind of way, claiming it “preyest thou thus along the poet’s heart” and he asks, “How should he love thee? or how deem thee wise?”…

    Robert Frost

    In the poem ‘The Wood – Pile’ Robert Frost uses a very tight structure, it is a sum of one stanza which he has used in other poems such as “Out Out -”. This poem is first person narration, which is another thing that a lot of Frost poems share in common, the setting of the poem is introduced in the first line of the poem ‘the frozen swap’ this releases visual imagery straight away. The last two words of the first line of the poem ‘gray day’ Frost uses internal rhyme the theme of the poem is nature it is set outside and it also it involves tree’s and birds Frost tells the story using this as the stake and the prop is natural resources and the wood-pile is society and because we are using nature up, it is soon going to collapse.…

    Poetry and Robert Frost

    The poem, “The Road Not Taken”, by Robert Frost presents an interesting take on life and the choices people make about life. The theme of the poem is focused on roads that they are traveling through life, and no matter which road people travel, humans may or may not be happy with the choices that they take in life. These choices can cause unhappiness and regret. This is a lesson that all of humanity endures at multiple times throughout life. Every decision is a choice about which road people would like to travel down.…

    Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson

    Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson both had different and similar views, which influenced how they wrote their poetry. Their social context, life experiences, and gender are reflected in their poetry. Emily Dickinson focused a lot on death and her struggles of being a woman during her time. Her poems often described the inner state of mind. Waltman attempted to combine universal themes with individual feelings and experiences, such as his personal experiences with the Civil War. Whitman and Dickinson are two great poets who both were very similar but different in more ways than one, and they were both very influenced by who they were, and their life experience. Their poems were both “small in theme yet has it the sweep of the universe.”…

    Thomas Hobbes and John Stuart Mill

    In any country, there are political leaders who run their nations with the help of representatives of society. “Men make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better” (“Quotes on LEADERSHIP”). This quote by Harry Truman is similar to Thomas Hobbes’ beliefs. Hobbes believed that if we want to live in a society peacefully and harmoniously we need to surrender some of our rights and have a single leader. However, his theory was contrary to John Stuart Mill’s beliefs, that each and every single person of society should be their own leader.…

    William Carlos Williams And Ezra Pound: Poem Analysis

    As literature evolved over time, different styles of writing emerged in response to societal changes that occurred in each individual writer’s lifetime. One style of writing that emerged in the early 1900’s was described as Imagism. This style of writing is in which a writer writes in a specific way that evokes an image within the audience’s minds. Two writers from this time period that wrote in the Imagist style were William Carlos Williams and Ezra Pound. Williams became known for his imagist works such as “The Red Wheelbarrow” and “This is Just to Say,” both of which are forms of imagism but in far different ways. A work that stood out from the imagist works was “In a Station of the Metro,” by Ezra pound which is a very simplistic but deep…
