...English Study Guide E period Beowulf * The Wrath of Grendel Grendel, a murderous, powerful monster lurks outside Hrothgar’s a Danish King’s, extravagant party. God drove out the demons, but they split into many forms of evil spirits, fiends, goblins, monsters, and giants. Grendel is a demonic monster. At night, when the party ended, Grendel ate 30 guests and left blood everywhere. In the morning, the people of Herot and Hrothgar mourned the deaths of Grendel’s victims. However, Grendel came again and ate all of Hrothgar’s soldiers, leaving Herot bare. Hrothgar was incredibly saddened by this. However, God protected him and no help came from the pagan sacrifices. The only protection came from God. * The Coming of Beowulf In the land of the Geats, ruled by Higlac, Beowulf was the greatest and strongest of all the men. He decided to go to see Hrothgar, because he has heard of the horrors Grendel brought. The Geats egged on his adventure, so Beowulf took a crew of the mightiest men he could find and set forth on his journey. They arrived at the Danish shore and were questioned by the guard, who thought they might be raiders or pirates. Beowulf explained they were Geats; his father was Edgetho, a famous soldier and explained why they were there. The guard lets them pass. They enter Herot and are called to see the King. Beowulf is greeted by Hrothgar and explains why he is there. He says he will fight and kill Grendel without fear, and if he looses to...

...Lauren Hillstrom MW 2:30 12/17/12 Option A Final Paper: Remember “Remember” by Christina Rossetti is a sonnet written in iambic pentameter. Her poem follows the structure of an Italian sonnet, one divided into an octave and sestet. The author’s thought process is portrayed through the rhythmic divide of her poem. The octave rhyming ABBAABBA directly pleads a loved one to remember her when she is gone. Then the following sestet rhyming CDDECE creates a shift in atmosphere, where she realizes the mortality of memory and would rather her love one be happy than mourn in the misery of her death. The fourteen lines altogether portray themes of love, fear, and death. With dark and sad undertones, the words “you” and “I” are used frequently showing that the poem is a dialogue speaking directly to a loved one. Throughout the poem she uses anaphora, such as repeating ‘remember’ at the beginning of several sentences. In the first line “Remember me when I am gone away”, she is speaking to someone in a direct form asking to be remembered when she is no longer here. Thus, the idea of separation is introduced here. At this point, we cannot tell if she is embarking on a journey, leaving a relationship behind or what calls for this separation between her and the person she is speaking to. Following, in the second line, “Gone away into the silent land”, the word ‘gone’ is used as a euphemism for death by using silent land as a metaphor for heaven. This imagery of heaven reveals the separation...

...ARE USED BY SHAKESPEARE TO PUT FORTH HIS IDEAS IN SONNET-130? IS HE COMPLETELY ANTI-PETRARCHAN? [16] 1st part The language spoken and written of great romances is often poetic, passionate, and filled with metaphors of beauty and devotion. In short, the language of love is the language of exaggeration. William Shakespeare ‘s most powerful description of love is when he satirizes this method of writing and in so doing instead claims that honesty and sincerity are the greatest literary devices when speaking the language of love. Shakespeare's sonnet number 130 demonstrates this. This sonnet hooks the reader from the very outset while maintaining sonnet structure and using literary devices as a source of irony. Shocking the reader by using an unconventional method of satire to introduce a topic is the most effective way to hook an audience. Shakespeare begins his sonnet with the line; "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun -" (line 1). The reader immediately becomes curious to the poet’s reasoning for speaking in this tone. The first quatrain of this poem introduces the topic of beauty.The second quatrain enhances the topic and adds sentiment. In the first quatrain he describes the looks of his mistress, while in the second quatrain he relates how these looks affect him. The third quatrain releases this sentiment, the narrator concludes that he is aware of the ordinary nature of his mistress. The sonnet also satirizes literary devices such as metaphors...

...“Nothing Lasts Forever” ENG125: Introduction to Literature Instructor Shawn Mangerino November 25, 2013 Patricia Martinez In all aspects of life we have a beginning and an end. Not many things last forever and if they do they do not usually stay the same. In life things change, and they end. I believe the pieces I have chosen both speak of endings and changes. “Nothing Gold Can Stay” describes a sunrise and the beauty of it and how that beauty fades as the sun continues to rise. In “I Used to Live Here Once” the main character is remembering her childhood home and in the story visits the home and describes the changes. I choose these pieces because they are both about endings and change and use symbolism to describe the changes. These pieces both show the change in a very detailed way even though one is a poem and the other a story. In comparison they may not look the same but when you read the words in both you can imagine what is being seen and feel that you can see it fade, as nothing lasts forever. In the poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay” I found it is full of symbolism. "Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold, Her early leaf's a flower, But only so an hour, Then leaf subsides to leaf, So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day, Nothing gold can stay.” (as cited in Clugston, 2010) In the poem the first line states “Natures first green is gold” the symbolism I find in this line is green refers to new life or birth, often times you hear...

...‘Ghazal’ with one other poem ‘Love’ can be defined as a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection to something or someone. Poe believed that all good literature must create a unity of effect on the reader and this effect must reveal truth or evoke emotions. His work is admired as an excellent example of how a short story can produce an effect on the reader; much like how ‘Ghazal’ and ‘Hour’ produce an effect of love and pathos towards the characters. The poems ‘Ghazal’ by Mimi Khalvati and ‘Hour’ by Carol Ann Duffy are similar in many ways. Firstly, the structures of both include couplets; however ‘Hour’ is in a sonnet form with 3 quatrains and a couplet to finish, and ‘Ghazal’ has 10 couplets. This shows the reader immediately that both poems are of the theme of love. Also, this type of structure links to Shakespeare’s sonnets, as they have a similar, if not the same, structure. Additionally, the form of poetry that ‘Ghazal’ is one that is traditionally sung and deals with unattainable love. This form dates back to 7th century Arabia. Secondly, in the poem ‘Hour’ the poet presents love with the description of ‘time’s beggar’. The love talked about in this poem appears to be personified as a beggar. This may suggest that love wants more time to be with their other half. In addition, the poet redefines wealth as love and time rather than as money and gold. Carol Ann Duffy uses two fairytales, ‘Cinderella’ and ‘Rumplestiltskin’. Both of these fairytales include...

...“Hunting Snake” by Judith Wright is a poem which talks about the ambiguous nature of a snake. Wright uses this idea to convey how powerful and intimidating nature can be. This includes the use of language features, structure of the poem and vocabulary. Firstly, Wright uses a wide range of language features to emphasis the idea of powerful nature. One of features is personification. The snake “quested” through the grass, telling us that it is requesting to pass through the reader. The word “quested” shows that the snake is going on a spiritual mission, much like the pilgrims. This suggests a messenger of God, who is powerful and of great reputation. Another point is the snake’s “fierce intent”. The word “intent” highlights the idea the snake has a mind of its own and makes decisions itself. The personification suggest the power of the snake, even as an animal, the snake intimidates the author. Wright also uses the structure of the poem to reinforce the idea. The use of consistent rhyme scheme which is destroyed at the last stanza when the rhyme scheme changes indicates a sudden shock when put in the perspective of the poet upon realising what a dangerous experience it was only after the meeting with the snake. The fact that it starts to rhyme towards the end shows that the poet is already starting to get her thoughts back in order, illustrating how little of an impact this snake had on the author’s life in the long run. The fact that she could maintain the rhyme scheme to...

...What is kenning? A kenning (Modern Icelandic pronunciation: [cʰɛnːiŋk]; derived from Old Norse) is a type of circumlocution, in the form of a compound that employs figurative language in place of a more concrete single-word noun. Kennings are strongly associated with Old Norse and later Icelandic and Anglo-Saxon poetry. They usually consist of two words, and are often hyphenated. For example, Old Norse poets might replace sverð, the regular word for “sword”, with a more abstract compound such as “wound-hoe” (Egill Skallagrímsson: Höfuðlausn 8), or a genitive phrase such as randa íss “ice of shields” (Einarr Skúlason: ‘Øxarflokkr’ 9). The term kenning has been applied by modern scholars to similar figures of speech in other languages too, especially Old English. Difference and similarities of epic and lyric Epic poetry tries to tell a grand narrative and is closely related to oral storytelling. The Odyssey and The Iliad are two famous examples of epic poetry from ancient Greece. Though some poets still work with epic poetry, it's not as popular as lyric poetry, which is one of the most common types of poetry today. Lyric poetry is interested in communicating a brief moment packed with significance through the use of intense, imagistic language. Epic poetry is poetry that has lots factual based information while the lyric poetry is when the poetry is very factual and has lots of rymes. Also, each sentence in the lyric poetry has ten lines while the other type of poetry...

...When reciting a poem, a speaker can express different personalities of a particular poem. In the poem, "We Real Cool," The personality of the speaker is someone who sounds like a delinquent. Lastly, the personality of the speaker shows that he or she likes to be seen as impressive. The personality of the speaker in the poem "We Real Cool," sounds like someone wants to have fun, a person who sounds like a delinquent, and someone who wants to be seen as impressive. First, the personality of the speaker sounds like someone who likes to have fun. One of the reasons why the speaker sounds like someone who likes to have fun is because, at the beginning of the poem, the speaker says that they are playing pool. They are also at a place that is called the Golden Shovel which is supposed to be a hangout place where seven people are playing pool. Lastly, in the poem, the speaker says, "We Jazz June" which is one of the ways people have fun(Brooks, 741, 4.1). Overall, the personality of the speaker sounds like someone who likes to have fun. Second, the personality of the speaker sounds like someone who is a delinquent. For example, in the poem, the speaker says "We sing sin" which means that the 7 people sing songs that are not appropriate(Brooks, 741, 3.1).

Sharp describes how John Hersey fits the characteristics of a modernist author who sympathizes with the Japanese through his 1946 work Hiroshima. He initially contrasts Hersey’s work from the narratives brought upon by popular American works Buck Rodgers and Flash Gordon which he says paint the Japanese as the evil ‘Yellow Peril’ and portray the scientists and soldiers who defeat them as heroes, while Hersey’s work portrays Japanese and German clergymen, doctors, and other ordinary citizens as heroes in...
