These three poems all have different meanings to me and what they resemble. The first one makes me think about the things I could of done or will do from the past to the present and the future. The second one makes you choose a side or fire and ice which to every person this could mean something else in their life. For the third one it really doesn't mean anything to me, but for others it might mean a whole lot to them. For me it makes me think of good friends I used to have but know I never talk to. For the first two poems they have a lot of similarity. They both make you choose between one thing or another. The first one is a path and the second one is choosing a side. The path you choose is different in every situation and the side you
The common theme they share is if something needs to be done you have to go and achieve it. In the poem it says “The people I love the best jump into work head first, without dallying in the shallows.” In the poem the last sentence says that the kids are walking through the snow and no person or thing is going to stop them from getting to school. It also states that he has to shovel snow he said “ he could leave it undisturbed” but he said he has obligations and the kids walk down his street to get to the school, he had to get it done so the kids could walk to school. There was another snowfall after he had just got done shoveling snow the first time and he knew that he had to shovel it again so he went outside and shoveled it again. The poem
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.
Through comparing with these poetry and visual piece, I thought that they have three points in common. The main similarity among the
Furthermore, both poems use the theme of isolation when describing the situation of the chosen
When looking at these three poems, it immediately becomes noticeable that all of them are very similar. They often share the same lines, almost word for word, and furthermore follow a smilar tone, as well as having an identical rhyming pattern. „The passionate shepherd to his love“ (poem number one) is followed by an answer from his lover (poem number two), and is then followed up by a further poem by Cecil Day Lewis, which like in poem number one, is an attempt at winning a ladies heart over, and convincing her to devote all her love to him.
Symbolism is compared in these two poems. The rose in Shakur’s poem is used to represent himself and how he came from nothing in the hood. Shakur writes, “Learned to walk without having feet, Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air.” (Shakur 4-6). Life is not as easy as it seems, but in this poem, he takes advantage and eventually gets through the rough poverty times. In similarity, Robert Frost describes life as being hateful. , “I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great.” (Frost 6-8).
Both of these poems are similar in meaning but written in different ways. In both of these poems they are telling why it's bad to follow other people's paths but to follow your own and not to let anyone stop you. In ”The Laughing Heart” by Charles Bukowski he talks about how you need to live your life and don't let anyone stop you. This poem is written in an urgent tone. In “The Journey” by Oliver Mary she describes the same thing but is written in more of a story format.
At first glance, the poems “Birthday” by M. T. Buckley and “The Secret Life of Books” by Stephen Edgar may seem completely unrelated in every aspect. “Birthday” is a poem about how being born is comparable to being in war, while “The Secret Life of Books” is about the nature and power of reading and literature. But once broken down to their bits and pieces, the poems are in fact very much alike. Although there are differences within both, the authors use significant titles, tone, and extended metaphors throughout the poems that make the two poems similar.
Some poems can be very similar in theme. One example of this is the song “Hall of Fame” by The Script (text one) and the poem “As I Grew Older” by Langston Hughes (text two). Both text one and text two deal with a similar theme, but they do so in different ways. Even though Langston Hughes wrote his poem in 1925 and The Script wrote their song in 2012, they can still have many similarities and differences. The theme in both these texts is if you keep trying, you will be successful.
Both poems tell about the journey of Life and the truth about life that is why I like it. It shows what life could end up, and what nobody else tells you about. it Uses figures of speech, metaphors.This poem relates to everyone alive, life is not to suffer, but many people do and by showing people the obvious could change their mind. They both have the same theme, but they explain it in their own way.
Like they both have emotion in them because they both are talking about the women they love. They both are good and weird poems but equally as good. The first poem is
When I was reading the three poetry options, I thought all three had a great takeaway, or a life lesson. I could not choose at first, but then I read them a second time and the poem Fire and Ice stood out to me. The idea of fire and ice together intrigues me because they are two polar opposite things. One is sweltering, the other is frigid; but they both can harm you. Fire burns you, while ice can do the same thing.
Both poems have a similar language, because both authors used rich imageries and similes. For the first poem the author gives very vivid imageries for example “It’s as if your eyes had flown away from you, and as if / your mouth were closed…” The poem has also a lot of similes and sentimental metaphors, which allows the reader to understand what is the person feeling in that moment, “In a speech as clear as lamplight, as plain as a gold ring./ you are quiet like the night, and like night you’re start-lit.” By using various similes the reader is able to understand and interpret each felling much easier. The second poem also uses a lot of similes and metaphors but the author uses a more passionate and uplifted language, For example “If a man
However, both poems do have some things in common. For example, both poems have onomatopoeia. Blake uses "weep" in both poems,
I wrote this in about half an hour. Both poems are very similar, and have the same topic - City Planning - as shown in their titles. Structurally, they are different though, and the tone differs in places. I've marked headings for each paragraph to show, roughly, what each one is about, with major areas in CAPS (see my post on STILTS as a way to compare poems)
