As I Lay Dying: Darl Darl has the most narration time in the novel, as well as the most sensitive language. However, we know by the other characters' descriptions of him that outside of his mind, Darl is not actually that talkative. Yet, he speaks with a language far above that of other family members. He is therefore the character that Faulkner has the most power to expound upon, which is a possible reason for why he narrates so much. The author has Darl narrating most often because he is the most reliable character in the novel since he is the one character that seems to speak the most for the author, William Faulkner.
Critics thought of him and his work as a good poet and an even better writer who made a major difference in the Harlem renaissance. Harold Bloom thought that “Thomas hardy, with his acute sense of life’s ironies, might have admired Sterling Brown’s Rain Which Precedes Robert Penn Warren in reviving Hardy’s Sprit” (5). Blyden Jackson a critic of the time likes Sterling Brown because he is a great poet and how Brown uses dialect with precision. David Littlejohn said that “Brown Attempted to do for the south what Langston Hughes did for the north” (Bloom 19). People thought that Brown’s irony was sharp, his ideas were exciting, and he was not only and protestor of his time but one of the first times.
Realize what words Poe wants to emphasize; “Sea” for example is repeated throughout the poem hinting the importance of the sea. “Lee” in the other hand stands out well for the obvious reason that Poe is madly in love with her. While, “me” is emphasized in a peculiar way because it’s not until the end that we see why “me” is so important (correlating to the depression he faces due to the parting of his beloved). Towards the end, reaching the sixth stanza, rhyme scheme takes an important turn point or climax. The final stanza changes to A, B, C, B, C, C, B, B (Eliopulos Pg 74).
In this poem the author is making a humongous part of history into a fun, easy to read poem. The poem is very structured story because the author uses a rhyme scheme. While reading the magnificent poem “The Charge of the Light Brigade” it is easy to feel the excitement that the author puts in the story. The poem seems to be structured, but in a way it is also free verse. The way the poem is written, there is repetition repeatedly.
Unlike the previous dynasties, Li and the Emperors who followed encouraged achievements in all types of culture, but poetry is the best known. The collection of Tang poetry includes more than 48,900 poems by 2200 authors. Taoism became the most popular religion and many of the poets received inspiration from

Amazing Grace Tanesha O’Neal Instructor Cunningham ENG 125 May 13, 2013 The poetry “Amazing Grace” by John Newton is one of the most influential and one of the most famous poems ever written. The effect it has had on people is astounding. The reason why “Amazing Grace” is influential is the same reasons why I choose to engage in it and read it. The literary elements that attributed to the poems quality and importance are its form, tone, and content. These elements are the main reason “Amazing Grace” is an important piece of poetry and is historical.
Iambic rhythm “is the commonest type of foot in all English verse because it fits the prevailing natural pattern of English words and phrases” (Cuddon, 408). It gives the impression of flow and is very pleasant to read. The rhythm of the poem makes it regular and musical, which is very appealing to the ear. The poem has basic rhyme scheme of AABB, which means each stanza is made of two rhyming couplets. Christopher Marlowe’s lyric is “one of the most influential poems of the late Elizabethan and early Jacobean ages - helped popularize both the ‘invitation-to-love’ and ‘catalog-of-delights’ motifs in British literature” (Explicator, 2007).
This is further carried on in the next line where the poet uses the sibilance of “so sweet and so sudden” to reinforce his unbearable surge of emotion. On the contrary, ‘Sonnet 29’ also uses sibilance, but for a completely different purpose. The sibilance of “man’s desire is hushed so soon” creates a hissing sound, making the tone slightly bitter and angry as the poet talks about how love will leave you vulnerable. This is thoroughly different compared to ‘First Love’s lyrical, melodic feel as Clare talks about the gentle nature of love. ‘First Love’ also portrays love as something innocent.
It is evident that his negative feelings about the effects of war have had a prevailing influence on his work. The structure also resonances with a sonnet form, which has clear thematic link to emphasize his love for his son. The use of enjambment throughout the poem creates a conversational tone, as though it is an internal monologue, to convey Scannell’s own private thoughts towards the strong bonds between him and his son and feeling of despair at his lack of power to protect him. The title, “Nettles” bring awareness to the harsh stinging pain that is inflected by the weed, which we have all experienced in our own childhood many times over. In this poem, the nettles represent the many dangers in the world that could bring us pain, yet we are helpless to protect ourselves against them.
