Compare And Costrast Little Li
Number of words: 325 | Number of pages: 2.... compares Libby to a flower that dies too soon in the second stanza and then repeats it in the third. The word "little" appears eight times throughout the poem to over emphasize how little Libby is. She also tells us that her friends mourn for Libby three different times in lines 12, 16 and 17.

Although both poems are good, Owen's poem is a far more interesting poem because I believe it is written in a more descriptive way. .....

Another time in which John displayed modesty is when he never boasts of winning all that money during card games. He had a perfect opportunity too when he met The innocent on their .....

Another disturbance in nature comes from Macbeth's mouth, "Now o'er the one half-world, nature seems dead.” This statement might mean that nowhere he looks, the world seems dead. It might also give him conceited ideas that the murder he is about to commit will have repercussions spreading far. The doctor says in Act V, "A great perturbation in nature," while talking about Lady Macbeth's sleepwalking. This is just another example of how nature is disturbed by human doings.
"Come, you spirits. That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here," says La .....
