Myth in poetry

It show conflict with is thoughts, the echo is an extension of himself and his echo are only repeating his words and ideas back to him adding to Yeats’ loneliness

 

Man And The Echo by William Butler Yeats

Man. In a cleft that's christened Alt
Under broken stone I halt
At the bottom of a pit
That broad noon has never lit,
And shout a secret to the stone.
All that I have said and done,
Now that I am old and ill,
Turns into a question till
I lie awake night after night
And never get the answers right.
Did that play of mine send out
Certain men the English shot?
Did words of mine put too great strain
On that woman's reeling brain?
Could my spoken words have checked
That whereby a house lay wrecked?
And all seems evil until I
Sleepless would lie down and die.

Echo. Lie down and die.

Man. That were to shirk
The spiritual intellect's great work,
And shirk it in vain. There is no release
In a bodkin or disease,
Nor can there be work so great
As that which cleans man's dirty slate.
While man can still his body keep
Wine or love drug him to sleep,
Waking he thanks the Lord that he
Has body and its stupidity,
But body gone he sleeps no more,
And till his intellect grows sure
That all's arranged in one clear view,
pursues the thoughts that I pursue,
Then stands in judgment on his soul,
And, all work done, dismisses all
Out of intellect and sight
And sinks at last into the night.

Echo. Into the night.

Man. O Rocky Voice,
Shall we in that great night rejoice?
What do we know but that we face
One another in this place?
But hush, for I have lost the theme,
Its joy or night-seem but a dream;
Up there some hawk or owl has struck,
Dropping out of sky or rock,
A stricken rabbit is crying out,
And its cry distracts my thought.

Myth in my life !!!

when i was young i believed in witches. Every year during Nov. 1 to Nov 2 i would listen for the loud music they would play in the streets outside my house. They wore bright colorful costumes that glowed in the dark and people would surround them singing ,shouting,and dancing. It frightened me so much that I would hide so that wouldn't take me away like I thought they were doing with the neighbors. Eventually I figured out they were just a band celebrating the day of the dead.

Dickinson

Emily Dickinson was an artist, an artist of metamorphosis who located herself quite consciously in a female world of myth and magic.Emily Dickinson does not consider in the major American myths, she still fights with them and their impact on the consciousness and the unconscious. Therefore Dickinson is a very American poet. According to my reading, Dickinson does not reflect nationality a state of mind. Instead she perceives nationality as personified in certain myths and structures of power and gender to which one will have to relate in order to change them and make room for women writers within the powerful Americanism of myth.
 

Symbol of a poem

 “Success is Counted Sweets” written by Emily Dickinson symbolize  how success place a advanced value to people who tend to desire things more when they don’t have them ,when you achieve that success it is more meaningful to them because they work hard to accomplish that success. 

A symbol for someone you know.

I asked my aunt what did she has to symbolize. She said her first bicycle was a great memory that triggered a lot qualities that she didn’t know she had. When she first got her bike all she felt was joy. It made her realize that she had a drive to succeed because she needed to learn how to ride and there were no other options for her. Also she was taught how to appreciate things given to her and to always try her best at in life. Her bicycle was a symbol of hard work, perseverance and a reminder to always appreciate the little things in life that can bring joy.

Symbol in my own life.

When I was a teenager my dad made a special ring for me, it wasn't not any type of ring because he made it with love and great quality materials. I never took of that ring until it was too small for me, I couldn't enlarge it because my dad is no longer alive to do so. If somebody else do the work I will never consider it  the same so I am waiting until my daughter turn 12 or 16 to pass it over to her .That ring symbolize the love that my dad had for me and how spoiled i was, since I am the only girl in the family .

Poem

I am not a fan of poem but for the sake of this blog it took me couple of hours  to finally find a poem  that  intringue me ,it tells you how to make it throught the difficult times and make the best of it.

Remember

As I walk through life,
I look at all I have done.
I had wandered aimlessly,
And wondered what I have become.

I have been through so much,
It is amazing I made it through.
The lessons I have learned
I am shocked I pulled through.

The times I wondered
What life was all about.
The trials experienced in life,
Can make all the good come out.

We try to make it day by day.
Remembering what we were taught.
Just remember some time to pray,
It is important,
We need it every day.

Life can be short.
Unexpected at that.
We try to take its punches,
Just hoping it won't break our back.

Remember who you are,
Who you want to become.
Everything will fall into place,
When the time comes.

Don't forget I love you's,
Every chance you get.
The time may be short,
There is no time to regret.

Life can be exciting,
As we all have found out.
Eventful, even busy
There is no time to be left out.

Remember who you are,
And who you want to become.
The time can be short
Don't leave things undone.

Remember your families,
They are the only ones you've got.
To carry you in times of need
They can not be bought.

Remember they love you,
Either here or there.
They will always be with us.
Help for things to bear.

Psychological Criticism !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Psychological criticism is an approach that interprets writings, authors, and readers through a psychological point of view.  You could also evaluate the characters, and examine their motivations and actions with an understanding of psychology in mind. 

Critical Perspectives!!

Upon my researches I found that   Critical Perspectives help student develop controls of their critical, creative and active thinkers. Students will be able to achieve their  goal by engaging with a variety of works.  Which will make it informal on the student's' writing of critical, analytical, argumentative and persuasive essays.It also teaches students to explain, develop and elaborate on ideas they have personally formed. One of the best key that i found  to be  success in critical perspectives is to  maintain a balance between free thinking and organized thought.

Wiki!!!

Editing on Wikipedia seems to me very complicated, for the past couple of weeks I plan to start writing my article still not getting anywhere, the other day I was supposed to edit a paragraph on my article. I totally changed everything until professor Hamon taught me if the paragraph it’s correct don’t change it but I  had a couple mistakes so I had to fix it, other than that I will be completely out of the box. 

Gender criticism

The relationship between feminist and gender criticism is, in fact, complex; the two approaches are certainly not polar opposites but, rather, exist along a variety of attitudes toward sex, sexuality, gender, and language.Feminist criticism became a dominant force in all over the world, when feminist theory more broadly conceived was applied to linguistic and literary matters. Feminist literary criticism has developed and diversified in a number of ways and is now characterized by a global perspective. Many observers have argued that feminist criticism is by definition gender criticism because of its focus on the feminine gender.

 

women writer

Emily Dickinson was born in Amherst, Massachusetts on December 10th, 1830.Dickinson wrote many poems, of which only two were published while she was living, her sister, collected her poems after her death and began having them published in various selections beginning in 1890. Dickinson’ work includes almost 1800 poems, along with many brilliantly written letters. Her first poems was written while she was in her teens, her 20s and 30s were the most creative for her work.  With Walt Whitman, Dickinson is widely considered to be one of the two leading 19th-century American poets. One of her famous poets that I admire is A thought went up on my mind to- day because it’s reminded me every single day whe i tought about something and flow up in my mind .

A thought went up my mind to-day
That I have had before,
But did not finish,--some way back,
I could not fix the year,

Nor where it went, nor why it came
The second time to me,
Nor definitely what it was,
Have I the art to say.


But somewhere in my soul, I know
I've met the thing before;
It just reminded me--'t was all--
And came my way no more.

Wikipedia !!!!

 WIKIPEDIA

During my research on the WIKIPEDIA, I discorded Wikipedia is not an effective source or research-based for academic learning.I came to an understanding that Wikipedia is an open website where anyone has access to write any post, whether it is true or make believe. Therefore, the information there is not always credible or reliable.I now understand why most of  the instructor at South University don't want us to use Wikipedia for research paper. I plan to write an article on the WIKIPEDIA  to express my opinion on a particular short story.  I am confident that my article will be a great use to other viewers.
