Keats/The Land of Dreams
[ send me this essay ]
An 8 page essay/analysis of several of poems by John Keats. The writer argues that while Keats did not speak often of "dreaming" in a literal sense, i.e. the activities of the subconscious mind while asleep, "dreaming" as in the activity of the imagination while awake, i.e. the "daydream" -- the ability of the individual to "dream" of goals or the attainment of some heart's desire -- this aspect of "dreaming" played a pivotal role in his worldview. Poems include On looking in to Chapman's Home, Sleep and Poetry, On seeing the Elgin Marbles, The Eve of St. Agnes, La Belle Dame Sans Merci, Ode to Melancholy, Ode to a Grecian Urn, Ode to a Nightingale and To Autumn. No additional sources cited.

Keats/To Autumn & Ode to a Grecian Urn
[ send me this essay ]
A 7 page essay that analyzes Keats' "To Autumn" and "Ode to a Grecian Urn," with a primary focus on "To Autumn." It is Keats' rich use of language that pays tribute to this season. As the poem progresses, Keats piles up sensory images in much the same way as a farmer piles up his harvest. An examination of this poem, in comparison with another poem that exemplifies Keats' style, the famous "Ode to a Grecian Urn" reveals Keats' optimistic outlook, a perspective that found meaning in the ordinary events of life, as well as in great art. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Langston Hughes & Raymond Carver
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page essay that contrasts and compares the work of African American poets Raymond Carver and Langston Hughes, who are separated by decades, but nevertheless shares similarities in that both poets favored an abbreviated style that employed an economy of words. Each poet favored choosing the precise image that would conjure understanding in the reader and reference the rich tapestry of common human experience. Their work differed in that Hughes, writing in the early part of the twentieth century, was more concerned with issues of equality and civil rights. However, analysis of their work shows that each man, in his own definitive style, drew upon what it means to be human in order to make his point. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
