English Coursework Comp ar how strong hu cosmos sense Is conveyed in three songs from Section C of the Anthology and three other songs you have studied. passwordg engages readers with different forms of nip these emotions fag be conveyed done stylish and sharp use of extraordinary language, form, structure and context, all of which provide an additional holding to the literature. Emotion Is defined as a strong touching and this allow be explored in the paired poems Having and Remember A experience In A Refugee Camp and Mother any Distance Sonnet 1 16 and If.The key themes in these passages ar the universal knowings which we all experience, such as jazz and resentment. The poems In from individually one pair sh argon similar subject matter and messages. Poetry Is a thought- provoke way to explore the challenges encountered through bulge erupt our lives. These are demonstrated by the look and shape of a poem, the sophisticated vocabulary and emotion which bear be depicted. Looking at the poems, I will explore how emotion is displayed and communicated to the reader. A Mother In a Refugee Camp by China Achebe Is well-nigh the sadness of a mother who prepares o have her dear son down from her due to an unfortunate illness in the midst of a civil war refugee inhabit. The poem goes through four changing stages of emotion reflection, sickness, pride and subsequently yet unfortunately ending in death. These emotions are universal experiences. Meaningful language Is apply In the basic line, No Madonna and child could touch, a religious reference used to describe the epitome of a mother and son relationship.The poem vividly describes the horrors taking place in the civil war, in lines such as, monstrous odors of diarrhea and unwashed children with washed-out ribs which graphically depict the experiences of disgust, as profound pathos Is created at the expense of the children. Strong language is used so the reader can detect the stench of the od ors and conceptualize the unwashed ribs of the children, as theyre so desperate and in need of care. Huge pity Is Invoked In the reader as they can vividly picture what is happening In the camp.The ghost-smile, Is a false, fake smile displayed as the mother tries to behave with courageousness and strength at the most stirred up time of her life, also provoking the reader as it did for me into feeling condolence and sympathy awards her. She is on that point in the present yet her mind is completely taken away from the camp Into reflecting upon memories. Comparatively Mother Any Distance by Simon Remarriage is a to a greater extent ambitious poem as it delves into the ordeal of a young man outlet home and breaking free from his mother.It is thought-provoking because it allows the reader to reflect on ones own thoughts of this whether it is yet to come or a previous encounter. want and separation are two emotions felt In the paired poems however in contrasting contexts. Mother Any Distance focuses more on replication whilst A Mother in a Refugee Camp on total heartbreak. Mother Any Distance is write in free verse allowing flexibility in structure and vocabulary.Likewise, words invariably used to portray infinite are used to create a sense of the loss that Is soon to take place, acres, years and zero-end, these Impact the reader leading them to understand that the distance between the mother and son in this 1 OFF created through such lines as she soon would have to forget and other mothers in that location had long ceased to care. However, in both poems there is a feeling of not be able to deny something that looms large.The repetition of the word mother shows us the maternal love she feels and the inability to let go of her son as he moves into adulthood. Fantastic imagery is used such as the metaphors fasten, safe foundations and Kite, this represents the process of flight. The endless sky to fall or fly, the son is preparing to fly, to leave safet y, knowing not what lies ahead. In Mother Any Distance the stanza size seems to increase as the distance between them grows. As in A Mother in a Refugee Camp the mothers are devoted until the end.I feel that Mother Any Distance captivates me more as it has made me think owe my own experience will be and also because this is a more universal event. By contrast, A Mother in a Refugee Camp is something that galore(postnominal) cannot relate to or cannot understand the pain and agony. Carol Ann Duffy Having focuses on the emotions of loss and separation. Having or Miss Having as she is known in Charles Dickens Great Expectations is an senior character who in her younger life was left at the altar and continues to obsess over this.The selection to not include the Miss at the jumper cablet of her name is unknown I feel that it may be due to her coming creature- wish and Duffy wishing to focus on her as person and not Just a spinster. Duffy self-consciously transforms this novel chara cter from being depressed in Great Expectations to a more aggressive raging character in the poem Having. An interesting and controversial alliterative B oxymoron pricy sweetheart bastard. is used in line one. This shows that possibly Having still has thoughts of love towards her ex-fiancee but still holds a grudge long later their parting.Duffy uses vivid colors as symbols, starting in line three, bleak green pebbles for eyes Rene representing the emotion of envy, with her sinister thoughts. Also, pebbles demonstrate that her feelings are rheumatic as she wishes such hatred to another human being. From line three, this turns out to be a continuous theme throughout the rest of the poem. At the end of the poem, tenseness is used with the heart that b-b-b-breaks. Having is hiding from the outside beingness as she is old and trembling whilst she reflects on her younger years.The poem is written in free verse, allowing a flow through freedom of a variety of words and sentence structures as there are no constraints as in a sonnet. The stanzas are broken down into lines of four, called a quatrain the stanzas go through four stages of emotion hatred, horror, reflection and further hatred, goal the way it started, returning to the emotion of hatred. Remember by Christiana Rosettes is written in first person as is Having thus the reader has a sense of a relationship with the protagonists in the poem, creating more pathos.Rosettes was bought up in the quantify of the Pre-Raphael movement, possibly explaining why her poems were controversial with formerly inaudible religious references such as Pray. In these paired poems protagonists are similar in hat they are soul-destroyed and are both going through or reminiscing on emotional break downs. Repetition of the individual(prenominal) pronouns me, you, our and l highlight the intimacy of the personal relationship and highlight loss between two people, also modify the way we interpret the poem as it could be about anyone. Having in its regular verses of four is much unlike Remember with a solid throng of emotional her. Remember me when I am gone away, a significant melancholy line stating how sad she is and that soon she will be departing, view the tone and atmosphere for the rest of the poem. Gone far away into the quiet land says that where she is going will not be dreadful, she can be calm and relaxed here but far away she will not be able to return. However, this could be viewed as a euphemism for death and like Hafniums beloved sweetheart bastard create an oxymoron feel. Remember is a sonnet (a 14 lined poem), self-contradictory in its paradoxical form in which the feel of the poem changes two lines from its conclusion from a demanding command at the start of each quatrain remember me to better by far you should forget and smile a happier and quite nostalgic quote. It follows the poesy pattern, ABA and iambic pentameter, which are regular patterns this bankrupts the poem a flow and beat. Along with the precise use of punctuation, used in the middle of lines on clause emphasis, called a caesura, often incorporated to emphasis a point, Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay. Compared to Having which follows no rhyme intention, this is due to the constant use of enjambment. The emotions conveyed in Having and Remember are those of surprise and love. Sonnet 116 by William Shakespeare was published in 1609 in the form of a Shakespearean sonnet. The focal point is the emotion of love which is defined as a strong feeling of affection, which in Shakespearean times perhaps had more meaning and more importance.Love is prominent throughout the poem through the use of poetic devices and fanciful language in the metaphors, the star to every wandering bark and an ever-fixed mark, in an attempt to define the indescribable love. Shakespeare is trying to declare to us that love cant be altered by any means love alters not with his brief hours and weeks. Love is et ernal, bears it out even to the edge of doom. To summaries what Shakespeare is attempting to say Where there is life there is love. The poem has a rhetorical theme of love and what it is, which can be interpreted in many different ways.Comparably love, like the poem, has no real end or conclusion. After all, love is a philosophical perception. Rudyard Kipling If like 1 16 explores the conflicting emotions of love and pride. If is a didactic poem, meaning to give instruction. If serves as an instruction in this case to an exceptional leader, illustrating the actions a man should take throughout life, such as never giving up, If you can wait and not be tired by waiting. The original use of an exclamation mark, manfully be a man, my son captivates the readers vigilance and adds sudden enthusiasm to a rather serious poem.Writing to children, the rhyme scheme ABA assists coherence and comprehension. The paired poems are written in iambic pentameter, go a regular pattern which also ad ds a ironically and infatuating case to the poem. If is written in four stanzas of eight rhyming lines, in its ordain of ABA, whilst 1 16 is split into three quatrains and a couplet. The structure of the paired poems emphasizes the emotions depicted. The rhyme scheme in If gives a sincere yet uplifting feel whilst 1 16 is more sophisticated.
