Choose one of the poems that we have studied in your reader, and analyze the title. How does the title relate to the rest of the poem, and how does it create meaning? Provide examples from the poem to support your claims. This Is Just To Say Written By: Williams Carlos Williams I have eaten the plums that were in the icebox and which you were probably saving for breakfast Forgive me they were delicious so sweet and so cold The title of this poem adds and helps to understand the meaning of this poem. Without the tile, the poem sounds like a sincere guy who gave in to his urges and ate some plums. Then he asks for the owners forgiveness. Now when you add the title to the poems meaning, it changes it. It makes the speaker almost seem sorry for eating those plums but sarcastic about it. They are just going to the owner and saying, "Hey, Just so you know I ate your plums, sorry not sorry." It changes the speaker from legitimately apol...

In "We Real Cool" by Gwendolyn Brooks uses the poetic element of enjambment. Why do you think she does this, and how does it affect the meaning of the poem? This poem by Gwendolyn Brooks uses the poetic element of enjambment and this has a great affect on the poem. It has a large affect on the flow of the poem making it seem more rushed and like it is one line. Enjambment affects the meaning of this poem because it makes it seem like the ending (death) comes much quicker then if it was not there. The poem is a story, starting the people thinking they are too cool for school and leave. Then they follow a bunch of events and go in a downwards spiral until it ends with there death. It tries to show a cause and effect with leaving school leads to death. The enjambment, I believe, adds to the meaning through affecting the flow and speeding it up. I think that it emphasizes that you will go downhill very quickly as opposed to a more extended period of time.

Poetry has a much different form that can, and often, breaks the laws of grammar and has a more melodic or rhythmic flow.  Most of the writing we do everyday can be classified as prose and though prose can be creative, poetry is more associated with creativity and almost always contains artistic speech.

Prose is usually more straightforward consisting of paragraphs made up several sentences.  The differences between prose and poetry are not the easiest to define in their entirety, but they are important in ...

1984 by George Orwell is a captivating dystopia that creates a future world that seems far fetched and insane, but ultimately possible. In 1984 there is a government that is oppressive and rules with an iron fist. Unlike previous oppressive governments this one has complete control over almost everything. They can observe you at every moment, see your thoughts, change the past, alter your mind, basically complete control over the population. Could a government like this ever be taken down? I don't think so, unless there are some other supernatural or possibly natural things that happen. It is unclear who the government is or who rules it, so if a rebellion where to happen it would just be against the idea of the government for there is no known real living figure. Should someone create some super plan to take down this government the thought police would be able to find that thought and take down the person with it. A government like this could never be taken down, so the only wa...
