Chaucers The Wife Of Bath
Number of words: 956 | Number of pages: 4.... by boasting of her experience of men, "Experience, though noon auctoritee Were in this world, is right ynogh for me, To speke of wo that is in mariage." (Chaucer, ll. 1).
Chaucer begins his description of the wife by telling us she is somewhat deaf. By being deaf she can not hear what other say about her.

Tale Of Two Cities
Number of words: 631 | Number of pages: 3.... into life in the two cities at the time of the French Revolution. I think it does an excellent job of depicting just how totally involved some people became in the revolution.
It shows how people were blinded by the desire for freedom from their

society, then contrasting them by making them rivals. I really took away a
different view of that time period.
Some of the language Dickens used .....

Ballad Of Birmingham
Number of words: 442 | Number of pages: 2.... child would be no match for them. The mother refused to let her child march in the wild streets of Birmingham and sent her to the safest place that no harm would become of her daughter.
Going to church in the ghetto in Birmingham was probably the safest place a mother could send her child. But this is where the irony takes place. The irony makes the church the warzone and place of destruction while the march was the safest place to be. The child was depicted as combed hair, freshly bathed, with white gloves, and white shoes, which is also ironic. The mother had sent an angel dressed in white to a firestorm from hell called c .....

Sonnet 130 Vs. The Passionate
Number of words: 796 | Number of pages: 3.... pleasing sound, yet, I think my love as rare as any she belied with false compare.” This shows his honesty in speaking about his object of affection, yet he achieves the same sense of
unconditional love that the poet in Marlowe’s poem tries to delineate without using embellishments. The speaker in Sonnet 130 doesn’t hyperbolize about his “rare” love using a plethora of exaggerations to portray his fondness for his “mistress” as the poet in Marlowe’s
poem did. Even though the two poems have the theme as unconditional love, the portrayals of it are achieved through different me .....

Number of words: 788 | Number of pages: 3.... Haemon presented himself as weak and inferior to his father, "Far be it from me -I haven't the shill, and certainly no desire, to tell you when, if ever, you make a slip in speech… though someone else might have a good suggestion."(766-69) Haemon uses words like if, might, and suggestion; which give the impression that he cannot stand if own ground or stand up for what he for what he believes is right, unlike his fiancé, .

For Haemon to succeed he must try twice as hard to convince his father, .....

This poem shows that nature can be beautiful by setting you free to letting you choice and to enjoy the view that nature has to offer.
On the other hand, there are a few poems which show that Robert Frost was less in awe of nature and fearful of it. One of these is the poem "Design". It takes two of nature's most innocent characters, the moth and the spider, and then finds a tragic death in their lives. Why must the moth die? Why is nature so cruel? Frost questions how nature can be so be .....
