Contrasting Poetic View of Nature
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page essay that contrasts and compares four poems, --"A Sick Rose" by William Blake; "Apparently with no surprise" by Emily Dickinson; "Digging" by Seamus Heaney; and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost. The writer argues that in these poems the reader encounters brilliant imagery that perfectly invokes scenes of nature in the reader's imagination. However, examination of these four poems shows that the poets intend their verse to send very different messages. Blake and Dickinson picture nature as beautiful, but unfeeling. Their poems see nature as evidence of a divine power that can be capricious in its cruelty. Frost and Heaney, on the other hand, picture nature as soothing, positive and more benign. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Contrasts or commonalities? Poet, writer, romantic or realist
[ send me this essay ]
(5 pp) In spite of the external way that we may appear to others, most of us do want some type of order in our lives. One way to do that, on an intellectual basis, is the method of categories - some would call "pigeon-holing" bits of history together, so they stay somewhat orderly in our minds. The labels, romantic, realist, poet, and writer, are all ways of doing that very thing. What happens if we should run into someone who is all four? The author will examine that puzzle, through the works of Wordsworth, Ibsen and Tagore.

Conundrum of Choice
[ send me this essay ]
(5 pp.) Conundrum is a fifty-cent word, which means "riddle." That is often what a choice is. It involves information, intuition and risk; sometimes it appears that spitting into the wind has as much possibility as the productivity of choice. But, who knows, maybe the wind will suddenly change. In examining the idea of change, one way to look at it is through poetry. The ideas of poetry move more fluidly, and are more open to introspection than prose. Poets and poems considered in this discussion will be " Lucille Clifton - "the Lost Baby Poem;" Robert Frost - "Stopping by a Snowy Wood;" and W.H. Auden - "The Unknown Citizen."
