Finding A Path An Ephany Story By David Fraser

Both poems revolve around a very controversial topic: race. At the same time, race isn’t the only focus that drives them. They both have an underlying topic that they both touch on, which is being an outsider in society. They are similar in that they focus on the misinterpretation of race, but they differ in that they speak of and expect other people to interpret races in different ways. The speaker in Giovanni’s poem does not want outside cultures to come up with misinterpretations about black people and Hayes’ speaker keeps himself from speaking out to prevent misinterpretations about black people.

While reading both stories, they both seemed to share the same theme. The theme that both stories shared is the dedication to do work even if it isn’t necessary. In, “Clearing Paths to the Past” The person states they have an obligation to clear their sidewalk so others can use the sidewalk to get somewhere. In, “To be of use” the person telling the poem explains how they love to be dedicated to doing work even when they do not need to do the work with any effort.

There are in both passages many similarities and differences in the pieces of written literature. Starting off with drinking, in both of the passages there is drinking. For Jeanette her father Rex drinks and makes promises that he can’t keep. Most importantly, his drinking leads to destruction in the family. In the boy’s poem his father drinks but he plays around with the child, but if you look at it in another view point, it seems as if the father abuses the boy.

The first stanza, which contains the son’s childish speech, is short, only three lines. However, by the stanza which contains the son’s angry talkback, the stanza is double in length, having four lines. Each line represents a literal level of maturity and growth that the son has gained. As time moves on, he is able to gain more and more experience in life. As his experience accumulates over time, so does his hostility. His terse, childish begging for his father to simply read another story turns to an angry speech about how he no longer beleievs in his father as an authority figure. Despite this, the son’s psyche changes back, as all this maturation is played out in the father’s head, and when he returns, he is back to his childish self, bu this stanza is the longest in the poem. This suggests that when someone is able to mature enough, they are able to comprehend more of the world than they did before, and are able to act

The similarities between the two stories speak of life's lessons and the sometimes-painful road we have to take in order to gain life

Both of these poems talks about selling and money and young men’s lives, but they are both unquestionably different.

There are lots of things in the poems that are similar and different both of the writers are different and similar in many ways .In the poem’s “When You Are Old” By W.B Yeats, and “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night” By Dylan Thomas.They have a bunch of similarities and differences.For example in each of the poems the theme of the poems are death and the narrator’s message in the rhyming pattern poems are both similar in the poems ,and the writing style of the poems are rhyme schemes and therefore they use different rhyme scheme in each of the poems.

Not only do these poems share differences through the speakers childhood, but also through the tones of the works.

Therefore we have two poems which are deliberately changing their structure from the norm in order to create effect. However, these effects have totally different intentions, which lead to the end of the similarities and the first of many differences between the two poems.

The poem “Finding a Path: An Epiphany Story” by By David Fraser and the short story “A handful of dates” by By Tayeb Salih Translated by Denys Johnson-Davies have some similar themes, but they also some different ones. both the story and the poem have some similar themes and imagery but when you look closely at them then you see that they have many little differences. Stories and poems when compared to each can other have some similar themes, but if you look closely you will always find that they are not as similar as first thought.

A child’s future is usually determined by how their parent’s raise them. Their characteristics reflect how life at home was like, if it had an impeccable effect or destroyed the child’s entire outlook on life. Usually, authors of any type of literature use their experiences in life to help inspire their writing and develop emotion to their works. Poetry is a type of literary work in which there is an intensity given to the expression of feelings and ideas by the use of distinct styles and rhythm. These distinct styles include different types of poems such as sonnets, villanelles, free verse, imagist poems, and many more. And these distinct styles are accentuated with the use of literary devices such as metaphors, similes, imagery, personification, rhyme, meter, and more. As a whole, a poem depicts emotions the author and reader’s can relate to. In the poem’s “Those Winter Sundays,” by Robert Hayden, and “My Papa’s Waltz,” by Theodore Roethke, we read about two different parent and child relationships. These two poems help portray the flaws and strength’s parents exhibit and how their children follow their actions and use it as a take away in their grown up lives.

There’s something about writing your raw emotions on a piece of paper that allows your spirit to run free and hold no boundaries of what you can think of and it's only the moments in life that can fuel the locked potential inside you. The epiphany of my life was actually closer to this present time than in the past, about last year my family moved from New haven to Branford. In New haven I was in a program which allowed me to go to Wallingford as a district school and I spent 6 years in this program making friends and going to school all I knew from my elementary to highschool period from then was Wallingford. While schooling in Wallingford district living in New haven I had developed a skill of poetry in the midst of 8th grade. I found that

The second stanza is almost like the first in the fact that it appeals to the same senses. It talks about the actions and the feelings of the child. It describes how the child would wake and wait for his father to call him. The second stanza also describes the mood of the house in the line, "fearing the chronic angers of that house." Perhaps that line is

This is the third paragraph in and this paragraph I am going to be talking about the similarities. The similarities in the poems are there both containing to love but which one shows the most love. One poem shows the perfection of life and is warm hearted and sunny and happy. That poem shows that everyone is happy

Blake’s two poems are both told from a child’s point of view, which is different from many works and forces adult readers to realize the fault in society’s standards through the bleak eyes of the many unfortunate children.
