The Speaker's Role in Three Poems by Howard, Wyatt, and Raleigh

In “For That He Looked Not upon Her” by George Gascoigne, the speaker displays the fiery anger of his beloved towards him. The speaker utilizes devices, such as form, diction, and imagery to explain the overwhelming conflict, while also showing the speaker has been betrayed by his beloved and is fighting to retain strength against her capturing beauty.

George Gascoigne’s sonnet, “For That He Looked Not upon Her,” portrays a sullen man, hurt by the woman he loved. Through the uses of form, diction, and imagery, the sonnet evokes a complex attitude in each quatrain elaborating on the stages of torment the speaker receives from his ex-lover. By using these literary devices, the speaker portrays the dangers of desire and the conflicts that arise from within it. Gascoigne conveys a solemn and melancholy complex attitude developed throughout the use of such literary devices. The attitude of the speaker, expressed through the form of the sonnet, explains the dangers of gazing at the woman who burned him.

The poem’s structure as a sonnet allows the speaker’s feelings of distrust and heartache to gradually manifest themselves as the poem’s plot progresses. Each quatrain develops and intensifies the speaker’s misery, giving the reader a deeper insight into his convoluted emotions. In the first quatrain, the speaker advises his former partner to not be surprised when she “see[s] him holding [his] louring head so low” (2). His refusal to look at her not only highlights his unhappiness but also establishes the gloomy tone of the poem. The speaker then uses the second and third quatrains to justify his remoteness; he explains how he feels betrayed by her and reveals how his distrust has led him

The language Bradford uses in his excerpt is very effective towards his audience as in the use of pathos and different point of views. The main reason and purpose for his whole writing is to tell the history of the plymouth plantation, and the daily struggles of the pilgrims. With this said it could be concluded that the point of view of Bradford could be affected or altered. The point of view in this excerpt is first person which is told on the view of Bradford himself. He himself sees what is happening from his perspective which would make his writing more thorough and accurate. Since his writing would be more detailed it affects the audience differently as his point of view is now broader and give the audience a sense of current situation.

Poetry is an art that has been passed down from generation to generation; it acts as a way to express emotion or to show a message to readers. In 2017, it is not as popular as it was in the past as many believe it is a common art left behind in the new era of technology. Although many students may call it it to be boring or something they are not interested in, it does have some relevance in today's world. Poetry can show the reader true emotional perspective, just by reading a single stanza. Today, most people are afraid to show what they are feeling. If just a few words on paper allow an individual to be free, then yes, in 2017 poetry is still relevant. Secondly, formulating poetry requires specific mental skills; skills in showing complex thoughts, using poetic devices, and many more literary techniques. This knowledge is something every student can benefit and grow from as an individual. Some may call it old school, but the benefits of learning poetry will remain relevant for a very long time.

The level of respect and equality women in Egypt held was rarity of that time in comparison with other ancient societies. The women in ancient Greece were seen as property, with a sole purpose of childbearing. They were controlled by the male head of the family, expected to carry out domestic duties and stay silent, with no legal identity of their own. They were guarded at home by male chaperones and not allowed to leave the house without their heads covered and a minimum of three garments. Mesopotamian men were increasingly controlling of women over time, in order to protect the legitimacy of family heirs. Women were expected to be virgins at the time of marriage, and casual socializing among married men and women outside their homes was forbidden.

Born in Senegal around 1753, Phillis Wheatley became an important American poetic figure. At the age of 8, she was kidnapped and brought to Boston on a slave ship and upon her arrival to Boston, she was quickly sold to John Wheatley (Bio). Under her new family, Phillis adopted the master’s last name, taken under the wife’s wing, and showed her deep intelligence. Even though suffering from poor health, Phillis’s intelligence did not go unnoticed; she received lessons in theology, English, Latin and Greek. Being a slave did not stop Phillis from learning and experiencing her life, she participated in the master’s family events and eventually became a family member. The irony in this situation is

PLF 4M1 is a class like no other, a class which will help you develop many important and useful skills necessary in order to become successful. Rather than being taught with lessons and notes, the class is taught with a hands on approach. Each task done within helps promote leadership, time management, team work, organization, and stepping out of comfort zones. The very first task was the Popsicle stick bridge where teams were competing to see whose bridge could hold the most weight before cracking. This specific task was just a small taste of what was to come. Students were given a time limit and a limited amount of supplies, which forced teams to work together in order to be most successful. Time management was important factor because if

The Emotional versus the Rational: A Literary Analysis and Comparison between Sir Walter Raleigh’s “The Nymph’s Reply to Her Shepherd” and Christopher Marlowe’s “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love”

Love can be quite a difficult topic to write about, expressing one’s intimate and innermost emotions requires a great level of dedication and honesty. If done correctly, the outcome is truly stunning. John Donne’s “A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning” and Katherine Philips’s “To Mrs. M.A. at Parting” are two masterpieces of this genre. These poems depict the concept of true love so meticulously that the reader cannot help but envy the relationships presented. Perhaps the reason that these works are so effective is due to the fact that they are incredibly similar to each other. Although some differences are present when it comes to structure and gender concerns, the poems share the same theme of love on a spiritual level and show many parallels in meaning.

John Keats’s poem “La Belle Dame Sans Merci” dramatizes the conflict between dreams and reality as experienced by the knight. On a late autumn day, the speaker stumbles upon an ailing knight and asks what is wrong. The knight reveals that he had fallen in love with a beautiful lady, “a faery’s child” (14), who then abandoned him after professing her love and spending one night together. The speaker is recounting his experience with the knight to his audience.

Sir Thomas Wyatt was born in the year 1503. The son of Sir Henry Wyatt and Anne Skinner, he went on to attend St. John’s College in Cambridge. He first took a place in the court of King Henry VIII in 1516. In the year 1520 he was married to Elizabeth Brooke at the age of seventeen. His son, of the same name, was born in the year 1521. Wyatt’s marriage to Elizabeth was miserable and the couple is believed to have been “estranged by the second half of the 1520s” (Burrow). Thomas Wyatt and Elizabeth Brooke were separated in 1525 when Wyatt accused his wife of adultery. Much of Sir Thomas Wyatt’s poetry is reflective of his love life. His personal relationships served as inspiration for a notable amount of his work. In his poem “Blame not my

In recent years, there is no denying the fact that the environment becomes unstable for many organizations today, as the organization striving to adopt this fact and adapt this situation. The reason of this phenomenon is external stakeholders affect, which including two essential factors are general and task environment, for example, economic, technological and sociocultural, it leads to the environment creates uncertainty to managers or organization (Kinicki et al. 2015, p75-79). “Organizations operate in an environment and are dependent on it for the procurement of inputs and the sale of outputs” (Eppink, 1978). It is necessary that mangers should establish a suitable appropriation when organization environmental change for their survival. In order to make business less vulnerable to organization environment change, planning is a process of make plan and helps organization face different circumstances. There is a long-running debate as to whether the managerial plans are often redundant when the environment change so quickly under the organization operates. As far as I am concerned, I completely agree with the managerial plan is not useless as soon as they made when the organisations environment changes so quickly. Plan helps organization adapt the new requirements of environmental changes. Due to the planning process, planning can increase the capacity of the whole organization which is decrease the vulnerability that brings to organization. However, with the organization
