Comparison of Two Sonnets William Shakespeare’s Sonnets are a collection of poems that talk about different aspects of human nature and relationship. The following paper will correctly compare and contrast sonnet LXIX and sonnet 18. Both sonnets are premised love that is written by the use of metaphoric language and a lot of sensory imagery to convey the viewpoints of Shakespeare. During Shakespeare’s time, metaphoric love poems were so common. In the two poems, it is apparent that Shakespeare describes the beauty of his lovers by likening them to the beauty of nature. He exaggerates his metaphors by ironically comparing the beauty of these lovers to the value of nature. For instance, in LXIX, Shakespeare mentions that without the light his lover carries in her hand, others would not be able to see.  Shakespeare, in Sonnet 18, uses the metaphor of the season to describe the everlasting beauty of his lover. He mentions in the poem that though the days of summer will eventually come to an end, the beauty of his lover shall remain. At the same time in…

  Explication style essay exploring Langston Hughes’ poem “Mother to Son” Introduction The poem “mother to son” by Hughes is about an experienced mother who is offering advice to her son about some of the challenges which he is likely to encounter in his life. It is a 20 line poem contained in one line stanza. The poem offers great advice to people that no matter what one faces in life, he must never give up. The mother giving the advice is a representative of reality, and her thoughts sound like a mother surrounded by misery. The poem is a dramatic monologue, which means that it has only one speaker who is the mother advising her son. This assignment is an explication essay that will be examining the poem’s sentences and passages to interpret their meaning at a detailed level. The author’s dialectic choices are of short versions of the world, like “reaching” instead of reaching, “landins” instead of landings. This has a significant effect on making the verses seem like a song. The mother’s words are also frank to…

The lives of enslaved men and women Introduction Slavery in the southern part of the US was rampant in the early nineteenth century. It was marked with harsh slave treatment and poor working conditions. Large sugar plantations were the primary destination for most of the slaves. Other slaves worked on small farms; domestic slaves worked in their masters’ houses and did all the house chores; other slaves worked in industries and transportation. Enslaved men and women were charged with planting and harvesting, cutting trees, slashing, and preparing bushes for planting. Repairing houses and tools used in the farms was done with the slaves. The work was divided according to gender. Men were allocated to work that was physical engaging like carpentry, blacksmith work, mechanics, and driving. Women took care of children, weaving, sewing, and household chores. The working conditions were deplorable. Most enslaved men and women worked barefoot in rice plantations that were swampy. This predisposed them to water-borne infections such as schistosomiasis. Inadequate clothing, poor nutrition, lack of treatment, poor wound care, poor hygienic conditions, and Heavy labor also…

SONNETS IN THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE. Harlem Renaissance poets used sonnets significantly to convey different messages to their African American fellows. The black people faced various problems in those times such as racism, poverty, illiteracy and most of all, slavery. They lived in fear and pain. The poets wrote sonnets some of them to comfort them but some to express their pain to the world. In this essay, we will contrast the works of Langston Hughes, Claude Mckay and Countee Cullen. Langston Hughes expresses the hope for a better life to the Black Americans in his “Dream” sonnet. His strong wordings imply the pain of the Black Man in America. He takes us to the slavery that was ongoing by that period in time. However, in some of his sonnets, he writes of the joyous moments of the Negros too. His heartfelt poems display the common encounters of black people’s culture. He shows how the African Americans were forgotten and their dreams not considered at all. He depicts how far liberty and equality were from them. He writes in a point…
