To Autumn - Poem
Comparing and contrasting Text A and B
In the poem To Autumn, it celebrates the rebounding nature. The symbolic aspects of life, in preparation for death; Keats was devoted to poetry due to personal problems. In contrast of the extract, it’s about celebrating and sharing with people about the markets in Italy about the exotic vegetables; he’s excited and wants to communicate with the reader. Both texts are describing what they see like e.g. plumps, hazel shells, vegetables, and a sense of bountifulness – Very enthusiastic about their vegetables.
Whilst viewing the structure and form of Text A the ode, reflects the bounty of Autumn whereas the extract has 2 paragraphs which is known as continuous pros. He introduces the reader to the market with the opening sentence e.g.:’’ so up we went and found ourselves in the vegetable market.’’ This function is a discourse marker ‘’up’’ - prepositions - because he changed word order around. It’s got stress on the sentence along with inverted syntax that takes us up on to narrative stance.
Conferring to text B the Narrative stance, he uses are reflective pronouns - ourselves a first singular and plural. We can compare our narrative stance, to text A; third person narrative within line 1 and 2 which is effective to capture. Second person address within lines 13 to 16 for example: ‘’Thee, Thy.’’ These few lines also expands on the characteristics of Autumn.
The extract B is all declaratives we’ve got compound to start with and is quite effective because he found ourselves at vegetable market e.g.:’’ Dangling and looking’’ – Modifiers. There are no verbs in some sentences which makes it a non-standard sentence construction. In text a it consists of exclamatory mood ‘’season of mist and mellow fruitfulness! ‘’ to get the audience’s attention. Declaratives stating it as it does, plus plenty of interrogatives in lines 12 and 23, which introduces the stanzas There are loads of modifiers. The effect is that there are loads of

    The first passage uses a more direct writing style supported by concrete evidence and facts. Here, “The brushwood appears from a short distance as a leafless as our trees during winter; and it was some time before I discovered that not only almost every plant was now in full leaf, but that the greater number were in flower” (Lines 15 - 19), the author sounds more honest and straight-forward, describing exactly what he sees. The passage sounds more realistic rather than impractical, “A broken field of black basaltic lava, thrown into the most rugged waves and crossed by great... which shows little signs of life”. With the first piece the author gives off the impression that he is also telling a story, and with the constant usage of I, we receive a more personal experience. When reading this piece, one may feel as though they are sitting down and having a conversation with the author especially with the addition of personal pronouns, which makes his account seem more familiar, rather than a dry scientific report. However, even with the affect of the personal pronouns, the tone of this piece is still resembles that of a scientific journal when the author describes his surroundings. They are more analytical on landscape and habitat “Although I diligently tried to collect as many plants…

    In the second line, onomatopoeia is introduced with the two verbs, ?pout and push, luxury of?. ?Pout and push? are great for the beginning of that second line because, following ?delicious?, they create a new sound, yet they begin to describe why it?s delicious. Alliteration is also introduced with these two words, and they are not capitalized, which creates a balance; two verbs, four letters each, not capitalized, and both beginning with ?p?s.? And then, ?luxury? begins with an ?l?, which begins to spell the word ?plum?.…

    At dinner, the usual “bickering” and “poking” ceases long enough for the parents to enjoy “actual conversation” which is obviously rare. In addition to the children’s behavior, the mother’s routine is slightly different than usual. For instance, the speaker does not have time to complete “jobs that never get done”. However, on this day she is able to “clean… the kitchen cupboards” instead of the usual messes. Her usual kitchen routine also includes preparing food, but today is different in that she has cut the vegetables “without paring [her] thumb”. Lastly, the scene outside the speaker’s home also reflects a difference from the ordinary. In the “dead of winter” the speaker is surprised to see pheasants, and other birds at the feeder. The sky has “unwrapped” a crescent moon which is a “sliver of white” on this “day of grace”. Despite the speaker’s opinion that this has been an ordinary day, we see that it has been anything but typical. Small pleasures can be overshadowed by routine, but are remarkable in their own way. The poem demonstrates that this particular day is anything but ordinary.…

    1. In order to parallel the entire tone of the essay with the setting, the author uses months and seasons to amplify what she is feeling. The essay takes place at the end of September, entering autumn, a season associated with death, and change. The season foreshadows the authors’ belief in the consistency and inevitability of death. Almost showing it in a positive light, beautiful, much like autumn. Through this the author allows us to sympathize with a non-negative view of death, something natural, picturesque and unfailing…

    His aim with these poems was to talk about situations in common life, that is why he chose to communicate with an easy language as well as he preferred rural life as, this, was part of his idea that nature surroundings are the ideal place where man could find himself and his essence, and because in this rural environment these passions could be framed in the beautiful Nature. In Nature ambits, far from social vanity, men communicate their thoughts and feelings in a simple language, without the ornamentation used in previous times in poetry where deep human questions where dealt with. It is possible then, that, under Wordsworth’s look, philosophical language, the one used to express human desires and thoughts is more suitable as easier it is since it tries to communicate emotions men have experienced in their inner beings before expressing them. The purpose of the poems is:…
