.... the number one rule. Independence, autonomy and winning is just elitus and best characteristics that must always be shown never weak or unsure always believing you’re superior With all that you have, you still deserve more Denying others-what wasn’t worked for. You planned so well, I should have planned more to make one mistake I could not afford. How can you assume this is all true. I’ve never seen your foot even near my shoe. Until you’ve walked, a mile in my stead How can you know-What pleasure would you take in walking my street for even a day. The .....

.... obstructs her attempt to escape and forces her to describe what she is looking at when she continually gazes out the window.

.... it. In "since Feeling Is First, Cumming's theme is just the opposite. Cummings is saying we should enjoy life by acting like a fool and not talin things seriously. Millay stresses the unimportance of feelin. "life must go on,/ And the dead by forgotten" (15-16). Cummmings attitude is totally different. He believes that feelings are very important. Cummings streeses that being foolish is better than being smart and serious: "and kisses are better fate/ than wisdom."(8-9) Millay uses simple language, where as cummings uses more complete language. In "Lament," Millay stresses her point by usingan unu .....

.... poetry. After reading this work you can either walk away sympathetic or jealous of the love they had. Poetry is also a mystery. How is one to tell whether Shakespear intended for the reader to feel sympathetic or jealous when he wrote “Romeo and Juliet”? Poetry allows the reader to explore his own emotions and judge his own heart and desires because they have been brought to his attention by the poetry. Overall, poetry is an outlet. It allows us to express the unfathomable thoughts that race through our human minds. The writer gains support from .....

.... of their poems by writing them down in verses for people to read for generations to come. By doing so, both of the poets are preserving the beauty of the subjects, which are the young friend of Shakespeare and Keats' "Grecian Urn." Beginning with Sonnet 18, and continuing here and there throughout the first major grouping of sonnets, Shakespeare approaches the problem of mutability and the effects of time upon his beloved friend in a different fashion. Instead of addressing the problem of old age, he emphasises his friend's attributes: "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovel .....

.... disharmonious collection of words. At the outset of the poem, the narrator gives a very superficial view of himself, almost seeming angered when one of the tramps interferes with his wood chopping: "one of them put me off my aim". This statement, along with many others, seems to focus on "me" or "my", indicating the apparrent selfishness and arrogance of the narrator: "The blows that a life of self-control/Spares to strike for the common good/That day, giving a loose to my soul,/I spent on the unimportant wood." The narrator refers to releasing his .....

.... brilliantly accomplishes this in his book. Crane thereafter, got a real taste of combat, when he covered the Greco-Turkish War in 1897 and the Spanish-American War in 1898 as a war correspondent for The New York Journal newspaper. It was during these two conflicts that he perhaps drew the conclusion that war was not a glorious thing and only the purveyor of the slaughter of young men. His graphic description of a soldier shot from his mount in the first stanza shows his contempt for the acts of war. Do not weep, maiden, for war is kind Because your lover th .....

.... covers everything except for a “few weeds and stubble showing last” (line 4). The image of him standing alone on the barren snowy landscape with weeds as his only companions, creates a lasting picture in the mind of the reader, of a man just beginning to reveal his inner “darkness”. As the second stanza begins, the speaker has reached the borderline of the quickly darkening woods, and it seems as though he has paused in his walking, as if to stop and ponder his own vacancy and loneliness. In lines five and six, Frost alludes to what may be the cause of the sp .....
