Other than being great poems, they both develop their point of view and affect their readers, but do it in a different way. In…
Figurative language allows readers to better understand the message that the author is trying to say. Personification allows writers to easily reveal what they are trying to say when descriptions fail them. By including personification, the author can clearly communicate how he felt at a specific time. As a reader, personification allows us to easier relate to the idea or feeling the author is conveying. Wiesel uses personification on page thirty nine, when he says “Remorse began to gnaw at me.” Remorse cannot eat away at a person, but it allows the reader to understand how guilty Elie felt when he did not stand up for his father. A second example of figurative language used in Night is foreshadowing. Foreshadowing allows the author to keep…
Amy Tan allows us to deepen our understanding of her world by finding every day items and ideas that Americans can relate to such as a mother’s desire to do the best for their children, or using meals to represent a nurturing love, or a vase to represent a rocky foundation, or the pain that comes from hiding your true self. The use of figurative language in this novel removes the barriers from both the Chinese and the American cultures and customs therefore allowing us to examine each other not through the eyes of a specific race but through the eyes of one race, the human race.…
Mary Lascelles, a famous literary scholar once said “I suspect that Jane Austen’s practice of denying the aid of figurative language which, as much as any other habits of expression, repelled Charlotte Brontë, and has alienated other readers, conscious with a dissatisfaction with her style that they have not cared to analyze.” Therefore, when an author doesn’t use figurative language, they can alienate their readers and not describe characters, moods, or other objects nearly as well. This would lead to unhappy readers and not an effective book that would not sell a substantial amount of copies. In the stories “The lemon Tree Billiards House” by Cedric Yamanaka and “The Treasure of Lemon Brown” by Walter Myers, both popular short stories, the…

These two poems both use striking language. Firstly, they both use onomatopoeia to convey the setting of the poems. In “Half-past Two”, the onomatopoeia is used to convey the ticking sound of the clock, whereas in “Piano”, it is used to convey the musical sounds of the piano.…
In this essay the candidate does a good job at getting their points across by suporting them with citations and detailed explanations, exploring the meaning of the words in the quotes and understanding what the persona wants to express. They do not assume they know what the poet is expressing, using words like 'seems' when explaining the poem, leaving space for a doubt and making it clear that this is what the candidate interpretates from the poem.…
A metaphor is a comparison made without using the words like or as. In this example from the Cuban Poet José Martí’s “Simple Verses,” the comparison is between the sound of the wind and a song. He is saying that the wind in the trees reminds him of a beautiful song; the most beautiful. Nature is the pioneer musician, creating and inspiring ourselves.…
I am to conduct a family teaching session. How I describe the content, including the pathophysiology, to a patient depends on the patient’s level of education and experience with asthma. Is this a new diagnosis for this patient? Is this diagnosis new for this family? Is the patient a healthcare professional or in the case of a child, are the parent’s healthcare professionals? Patients learn the best when they are engaged, how will I engage this patient? (Trollvik, Ringsberg & Silén, 2013).…
Most poets use some form of figurative language to convey messages in their poetry because it allows the reader to attach a relatable visual to the emotion. As a result, nature, with its immense web of symbolism and mystery, is often encrypted into poetry. Poetry readers are often confused by a poets reference to nature such as trees, flowers, moons, etc., by assuming that any connection to the beauties of nature implies a positive connotation; however, it can be argued that nature's attributes are mostly associated with negative references such as liminal space, phallic symbols, and death. Both Sylvia Plath in "The Night Dances" and Seamus Heaney in "Ocean's Love to Ireland" use nature to create clear imagery in their poems in a manner that…
Commonly figurative language is found in everyday communication, whether it is oral or written language. For example, in the opinion. The properties are a thing that must be met by a variety of language journalism given the newspaper read by all walks of life are not the same level of knowledge. In other words, the language of journalism can be understood in the size of at least intellectually. This is because not everyone has enough time to read the newspaper. Therefore the language of journalism, strongly in maintaining the ability to deliver all the information brought to the reader as soon as possible with emphasis on the power of…
The poet uses figurative language to add feeling and mood to what he wants to say to his mistress. Many words such as similes, metaphors, and words that demonstrate personification, are used throughout the poem in order to convince this lady to do as we wants.…
“A November Landscape”, written by E.J. Pratt and “Winter”, which was written by Dorothy Livesay are both different poems that have a smilar tone. Although the tone of both poems is bleak, the tone of “A November Landscape” brightens at the end, while the tone of “Winter” grows to be less hopeful.…
What is the mood or atmosphere of the poem? Does it change at any point? Why?…
Even by the names of each poem, we can anticipate that they will have subject matter, regarding a child, but stark contrasts in style and structure. To begin with, I can say that “Infant Joy” has a very simple structure and style, emphasizing on the theme of happiness and freedom, while “Infant Sorrow” has a more complex and dissonant style, using language, which reflects the opposite theme of struggle and discomfort. However, I feel that the main theme of both the poems is individualism.…
