.... as such. as democracy should embrace all. Whitman commends the many people of America in "I Hear America Singing." He writes of the mothers, and the carpenters. He says that they all sing their own song of what belongs to them. In this poem Whitman brings these people from all backgrounds together as Americans. In the freedom of American democracy they are allowed to sing of what is theirs. In these poems Whitman has described those held in the lowest esteem. He has also described the common man, the mothers, and the soldiers. He speaks for all these people, liberating them. He has taken them out from the ranks that soci .....

.... a separate stanza: Two who are Mostly Good. Two who have lived their day, But keep on putting on their clothes And putting things away. (5-8) Brooks emphasizes how isolated the couple is by repeating "Two who." Then she emphasizes how routine their life is by reating"putting." A pessimistic reading of this poem seems justified. The critic Harry B. Shaw reads the lines just quoted as perhaps desparing: "they are putting things awau as if winding down an operation and readying for withdrawl form activity" (80). However, Shaw observes, the word but also indicates the couple's determination to go living, a refusal to .....

.... very practical in his manner of comforting little Tom, "Hush Tom never mind it, for when your head's bare/ You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair."(7-8) Tom is quieted, yet that same night he is visited by a dream wherein thousands of other chimney sweeps like him are all locked up in black coffins. An angel arrives and sets all the boys free to laugh and play and clean themselves, "Then naked and white, all their bags left behind,/ …/ the Angel told Tom if he'd be a good boy,/ He'd have God for his father & never want joy."(17, 19-20) Tom is so uplifted by his dream of what all chimney sweeps could expect after .....

.... This is described in lines thirty-one through eighty. The best example of this is when Bryants writes: ..."approach thy grave like one who wraps the drapery of his coach about him and lies down to pleasant dreams"(79-80) This poem has taught the reader that death is not a bad thing. It is just a ticket to a pleasant life after death. So have fun in your life and live life to its fullest. When you are sad and need a friend look to nature and he will always be there. Even after you are dead. .....

.... that the moon “can judge of love”, and can solve his love troubles, as a “ lozenge of love” (Sad Steps, line 11) would. Sir Philip Sidney's attitude toward the moon is quite serious, which is also the tone of the essay. He takes the moon very seriously, as if it were divine. He adds character to the moon, as if it were a person. He describes the moon's “love acquainted eyes” (line 5) and remarks how “wan a face” (line 2) it has. This imagery makes the moon more real and praiseworthy, for how can you admire a person without a face? The imagery adds a face to the moon for others to admire as does himself. Phili .....

.... until the late nineteenth century. It derives from peasant life, originally being a type of round sung. It progressed throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to its present form. For Dylan Thomas, its strictly disciplined rhyme scheme and verse format provided the framework through which he expresses "both a brilliant character analysis of his father and an ambivalent expression of his love towards him"(Magill 569 ). In its standardized format, the poem consists of five tercets, having three lines, and a quatrain, having four lines, rhymed aba, aba, aba, aba, aba, abaa. In the first tercet, the first line "Do .....

.... must determine a final judgment of the speaker. In his dramatic monologues, Browning expresses his own convictions through the use of grotesque art. As the term implies, vile, rebuked, heartless, and failing human beings are presented in Browning’s glaring poems. “He often selects the eccentric, the morally deformed, the man with a grudge, a guilt, a secret or a crime to his credit. He chooses them for effect.”(Schmidt 380) Although these incongruous subjects seem abominable to the reader, their selection by Browning proves legitimate. “Browning is challenging the reader to appraise the value of the first-person narra .....

.... All I haved learned in that class is Qué tal?; I head for my desk just to wait for the bell, Then it's off again, get me out of this hell; In Biology we're learning what makes you cough; In History It's notes 'till my arm falls off; English however Is alot of fun; Then IT's P.E....do I have to run? When you see me jumping and shouting horray, You will know I'm in the last class of the day; Math has just started and I've had enough; Am I ever gonna really use this weird stuff?, Tick tock, tick tock, click, click, you stupid clock!, .....

.... In the poem, the speaker becomes ill from loving so much. She is hurt inside because she is not with her love, and the emotional pain transforms to physical effects. "I drip with sweat; trembling shakes my body and I turn paler than dry grass. At such times death isn't far from me." The speaker goes so far as to consider dying because of the emotional pain she is feeling inside. She gets physically sick from hurting so much, and considers death the only escape. "He Is More Than A Hero" gives readers a brief view of Ancient Greece's views on love. From the poem, it is evident that Greek culture valued love to the point of .....

.... The raven represents death so in saying “nevermore” he means that no matter what disappointments have befallen you, one can always rely on death. It is the one thing that will always be there. In the fourth instance “nevermore” is used the student wants to believe that the raven escaped from a crazy, old sick man that used to repeat the word “nevermore”. This is showing how the student is trying to escape from the reality that the bird came to him to give him a message. “ Nevermore” is telling the student that even if the bird did escape from an old crazy man the word didn’t help him escape his agony so it’ .....
