Analysis Of A Summer Afternoon By B. Riley

In this activity, you will read and analyze three poems by different poets and examine the similarities and differences among them.

In “Summer Life”, Gary Soto takes the reader through a guilt-filled day from his childhood. He describes himself at 6 years old stealing a pie. Utilizing Biblical allusions, Vivid Imagery, and an immaculate diction

In today’s modern view, poetry has become more than just paragraphs that rhyme at the end of each sentence. If the reader has an open mind and the ability to read in between the lines, they discover more than they have bargained for. Some poems might have stories of suffering or abuse, while others contain happy times and great joy. Regardless of what the poems contains, all poems display an expression. That very moment when the writer begins his mental journey with that pen and paper is where all feelings are let out. As poetry is continues to be written, the reader begins to see patterns within each poem. On the other hand, poems have nothing at all in common with one another. A good example of this is in two poems by a famous writer by

The two poems have a similar structure, however, their rhyme schemes have suggestive tones towards their people and their structure reflects

In conclusion, the two poems Ghazal and In Paris with You deal with the same topics of love and longing, using techniques such as imagery, contrast, and metaphor achieve these pictures, but the latter feels more like a pastiche to the first in the way that its colloquial and abrupt humorous tone is a juxtaposition to the comparatively formal of the

Though one is a novel and the other is a short poem, the two pieces of writing can be thoroughly analyzed on their perspectives and themes to highlight important aspects in each.

After the ending of World War II, what was deemed as the second generation of Abstract expressionist, painters located to Greenwich Village, a neighborhood located in New York, during the 1950’s. Here, these artists formed a close-knit community, where they organized discussion groups to essentially share their ideas, and galleries to showcase their own work.

Together they both build on the aspects of beauty in poetry, beauty resides in all forms, and in everything around us, and through words can poets express this

These poems are similar by their use of figurative language but also have different moods and tones. First the poem

For my research paper, I decided to choose Donald Judd as my focus of the essay. Donald Judd is an American artist who was born in Missouri 1928. He was one of the most substantial artist of the 20th century. From what I've seen, all of his pieces are rather simple geometric in concept but are very appealing. During his early career as an artist, he began with painting before moving on to woodcutting. Judd had reject the idea of two-dimensional art and focused purely on three-dimensional art instead. In addition, organic designs were not found in any of his piece. Judd's pieces were abstract and had well-define shapes to it. This became his particular style which many people associated with minimalism.

Born in the state of Wyoming in 1912, to be later deemed as the, “Most powerful painter in contemporary America”, Jackson Paul Pollock, the “action painter”, was born. (1). Though Pollock had a rough childhood including an empty upbringing and numerous changes in residence across the United States, in the end, it all in the influenced his style of art. After moving to New York City in the 1930s, Pollock worked with numerous surrealists, muralists and others who influenced and shaped Pollock’s mature style and an era he opened the audience’s mind to, an era called, Abstract Expressionism.(2). Abstract Expressionism was an era that embraced a variety of individual styles, freedom of techniques, use of large canvases and a

Motivated to come into power, Adolf Hitler used propaganda, the bias structure which publicized his figure and his party throughout different images, in attempt of his to gain the confidence of the German people, such that his image as well as the Nazi Parties image would become promoted in attempt to rise to power. Not only does propaganda show a bias, but within the specific pictures provided in each piece, symbolic images related to perspective and other sorts of graphic elements are incorporated. In the piece title, Der Ist Schuld Am Kriege?, the artist, Mijölni, praises the Nazi party along with portraying their rank compared to that of the Jewish people. This specific poster creates the message in bold letters, “Who is to Blame for the War?”, just as a Nazi finger is pointed

However, the abstract expressionist escaping from word war II in Europe overshadowed the folk art in America. What I like from chapter eight is the work of Hawkins Bolden. His work is very interesting because from what I know Hawkins was blind but that was not an impediment to use his other senses to create sculptures that were minimalistic but very powerful. Some of his work consists of daily household objects like aluminum cans, casseroles and chairs.

In “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury and “Examination Day” by Henry Slesar, many similarities and differences emerge throughout the stories. “Examination Day” is about a 12-year-old boy who has to take a test by the government only a few weeks after his birthday. The boy's name is Dickie and he passes the test by the government, and as a result they exterminate him. This portrays the dim mood of Bradbury’s story. In “All Summer in a Day” a character living on Venus, named Margot, is different than the people around her. She is different because she remembers the sun, unlike the other characters living on Venus. Furthermore, there are similarities between the settings, the the, and the way the authors express their writing in “All Summer in a Day” and “Examination Day”.

First of all, based on both poems, the attitude of the poets is influenced by the diction of the poems as well as tone and mood.
