Manuel Philes Poem Analysis
Emphasis for the treatment for lepers either had good or bad outcomes depending on the situations. Just like the man in Manuel Philes’ poem who survived was restored by divine intervention, even though he reached the most advanced stage of the disease. Such cases show the historic presence of what is to be a miraculous healing during the Byzantine period. Although bad outcomes like involving Basil of Caesarea and Francis of Assisi with kissing lepers.

    Sandra Lim: Poem Analysis

    Stanford and University of California alumni Sandra Lim reads from The Wilderness on April 7, 2015, at Prairie Lights. As an alumna from the International Writing Program Lim was making her return back to Iowa City after 11 years. In The Wilderness Lim reads a collection of poems about love, spring and one poem that caught my attention was about the individual struggle of one's body within one’s mind. The poems are open to many interpretations but that is the way that I chose to interpret that poetry in particular. The interesting thing about Lim’s poem is how describes the body parts in some of her poems. It is very vague. It almost makes me feel a little bit uncomfortable but at the same time, I really like her style. The way she describes…

    From Eden Poem Analysis

    Much like poetry, “Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.” Music and poetry are two platforms in which artists from the beginning of time have chosen to circulate their ideas, feelings, and opinions. Although different in popularity, these mediums are alike in various ways. Nonetheless, not every song you hear on the radio can be properly analyzed using procedures that you would follow to evaluate poetry. A song has to contain certain literary elements essential to poetry, such as the song “From Eden” by Hozier, in order for it to be analyzed. Hozier is recognized for his sentimental lyrics and use of poetic elements to add musicality and rhythm to his music. Through symbolism, repetition, and…

    La Santa Muerte: Poem Analysis

    As the Catholic Church continues to frown upon homosexuals, they continue to frown upon transsexuals to an even greater extent. They see it as even larger perversion of the (already perverted) homosexual lifestyle. At the risk of generalizing, I would argue that many transsexuals then find that they need someone or something that will not judge them and only treat them with the respect they need. La Santa Muerte helps to fill the void left by society in many North American transsexuals. With most people not liking what they do not understand or ca not explain, this makes transsexuals the perfect target for them and the Church. People cannot explain why there are transsexuals, they do not know how hard it is to be transsexual, and they…

    The Black Death: The Plague In The XIV Century

    It’s well known how devastating the Black Death was for Europe in the XIV century and that reached the maximum point between 1346 and 1361, killing one third of the continental population. From the big terror that provoked this unknown disease, people inclined to think that this was a supernatural occurrence. The Black Death was considered a divine punishment because of mortals sins. In plain desperation, guilty people were searched to calm this divine rage. It was told that Jews and lepers poisoned the wells and this unchained a wave of violence among them. Moreover, this fear to “others” (Jews, lepers) spread, this fear was as dangerous as the Black Death because it cause repercussions and unjust death that difficult the resistance of weakened…

    Conte Poem Analysis

    In “Conte” by Marilyn Hacker, Cinderella shows the reader a glimpse of her life after the childhood tale ends, a less happier ending than the original story implies. She feels trapped in a constant state of misery and boredom in the royal palace. Without life experience guiding her, Cinderella is in a dilemma caused by her ignorance of the potential consequences of her actions. With the use of irony, structure, and diction, “Conte” shows how innocence and naïveté result in regrettable mistakes that create life experience.…

    Furthermore, Father Panaloux’s desperation to reconcile his religious beliefs emanates when he contracts a mysterious disease that he refuses to get treated. Contrary to Tarrou, who boldly fights against death when he is diagnosed with two strands of the plague, Panaloux dies passively, clinging to his hollow beliefs as he loses confidence in humankind. While Tarrou’s death brings him peace, Panaloux is rendered a “doubtful case,” which emphasizes…

    Perez: Poem Analysis

    The first craft choice I think is working well in this collection is the tone. As I was reading, the words Perez used made a visual image in my mind. Although the topics talked about (war, government, military, etc…) were very serious, the author managed to shift the tone using lighter lines with humor. I think the authors tone was intentional. I think Perez wants the readers to feel informed, affected, then empowered.…

    Alfonso De Cordob The Black Death

    Some physicians believed in medical approach of disease, another ones- in religious approach, thirds mixed medical and religious opinions. But what we can be sure is about the abundance of the historiography of the plague in Western Europe. Both in the initial sources and in the Dols’ essay, one can note that the main emphasis is on Europe and the authors of the chronicles are mainly Europeans (doctors, monks, lawyers, priests). It can be said that the arguments of Dols offers a Eurocentric perspective and have some misleading statements about Muslim’s response. This was most likely due to a small number of sources devoted to the effects of Black Death in the Middle East in comparison with European sources. Therefore, the convincing evidences of Dols are not so much related to bias and invalidity, but rather to the lack of valuable sources concerning the reactions of…

    The Allusion Of Leprosy In The KJV Bible

    The earliest cases of leprosy were reported in 600 BC in Egypt, China, and India. This disease used to be considered a curse of God and also associated with sins that the people had committed. The people that had leprosy were so despised that they were not even allowed to stay in their community anymore, they had to move off somewhere else. They weren't allowed to come within six feet of anyone, not even their own family. All the "lepers" lived until a community together until they either got better or died. The term "leprosy" occurred thirty-nine times in the KJV Bible. Some examples in the bible of leprosy are Leviticus 13:2, Leviticus 14:32, and Leviticus 14:54.…

    Poetry: Poem Analysis

    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…
