Summary Of Czeslaw Milosz's Ars Poetica

Using figurative language in writing provides a creative, personal way to write with meaning. For example: Wiesel writes about a terrifying experience when traveling in a car with hundreds of moaning people, scribing about the “death rattle of an entire convoy with the end approaching” (Wiesel 103). While readers cannot hear the screams of such people, and may have no understanding of what a “death rattle” (Wiesel 103) is, it is quite possible to envision how horrifying of a sound those screams are, and how consternating of an experience it is for Wiesel. Figurative language allows authors to contour their words so that they may more clearly elucidate their ideas to their readers. In the citation formerly presented, Wiesel uses imagery to illustrate what he hears.

Peter Skryznecki’s persistent desire to connect/belong to his cultural heritage is carried forth in various poems, such as Feliks Skryznecki and Postcard. Cultural barriers determine whether the composer/responder is able to belong, and shows the ways in

25In both works of literature, authors Milosz and Ionesco were influenced by the historical devastation known as the Holocaust. War and Nazism destroyed thousands of lives and many times these historical tragedies leaked into famous works. Milosz wrote the thought provoking poem “And Yet the Books.” His poem describes books as a separate world, a place to take an adventure and leave reality while slipping further and further into the pages. The stories become alive. However, soon the authors tell of sorrow as the stories are turned to ashes and left blank of the world they once kept. Although the story won't be lost, the books will live on and grow old keeping their young heart. People shall perish, but books live on. On the other hand Author Ionesco wrote the short tale referred to as 'Rhinoceros.”

Poems are not only words, they are further more than that. Poems are a way for the poet to express their feelings, thoughts, ideas, and point of views. Poets can creat poems that are fiction and made up or poems that give real-life situation but,it will always have a purpose or a life lesson. Every poet has their own way of writing and way of building an idea in a reader's mind. This essay will analyze a well known poet named Daniel Halpern. It will teach the reader more about the poet, It will analyze 3 of his poems called, Scars, The Storm, and Careless Perfection. Lastly, we will recognize Daniel’s accomplishments and awards.

The poem “ Feliks Skrzynecki” communicates to the responders that as a result of the Skrzynecki family migrating to Australia, Peter had lost a significant aspect of his life which was his relationship with his father due to the barriers that had arisen restricting them from proper communication.

Ultimately, I analyzed the poems from my point of view, and decided how to analyze the utterances. For instance, it could be that when the poet wrote, ''Under your bed sat the wolf'', she did not write it as a symbol, which was the way I interpreted it. Moreover, it could be that the poets tries to convey some messages, which I did not notice. Although the poets influenced my analysis, their role was not truly significant compared to

-Concrete subjects are used to convey abstract feelings. The bounded feet with “marks and callouses” and the “asymmetrical cropped hair” are representatives of two different cultures. This literature device makes the essay more vivid and encourages readers to think.

I decided to produce three poems of related themes, which differed in structure. Through altering the style of poetry, the emotions of the subject of war and violence could be portrayed in different ways. Through using the diamante style, the contrasts between war and peace are easily expressed. Through gathering describing words that captured the essence of both war and peace, the contrasts were highlighted. The Renga poem depicts an experience and the ottova rima is more of a heroic style of poetry following a chant.

The use of figurative language in writing brings a story to life in the mind of the reader giving them a better grasp of the events taking place. Using hyperbole, simile and personification serves to develop the characters of a story as well as enhancing its theme (Kirszner and Mandell, 2012).

The two poems of “The Passionate Shepherd” and “The Nymph’s Reply” show contrasting views on love, nature, time, and the material world. “The Passionate Shepherd” shows more about a positive and naive view while in contrast, “The Nymph’s Reply” is more about a negative and realistic view. The shepherd gave details that idealized the natural world while the nymph criticized his ideal world.

A cursory analysis of “Ode to the Apostrophe” reveals a varied and irregular meter that corresponds to an “Ode”. This choice of poem style is effective when addressing a particular subject; hence, the use of the ode in “Ode to the Apostrophe”. The poem is written as a free verse with little rhyming and a relaxed and informal tone while still achieving an informative aura. Themes that are prominent in the poem include human nature and the apostrophe. In addition to vocabulary, Zeitlin utilizes poetic devices such as similes, enjambment

Viktor Borisovich Shklovsky (1893-1984) was one of the founders of the intellectual movement OPOJAZ (Obščestvo izučenija Poètičeskogo Jazyka), also known as “Society for the Study of Poetic Language”. Furthermore, Shklovsky was a brilliant critic, closely tied to Russian Formalism and he became one of the most noted figures in the Formalist movement in the early twentieth century; “Shklovsky, Boris Eichenbaum, [Vladimir Propp], Yary Tynyanov, and other Formalists sought to put literary theory on a par with the natural sciences” (Davis 51). For one thing, these gentlemen sought to understand art by breaking it down into parts and identifying the different devices in play, “collections
