Poetry – Expression of ArtEssay Preview: Poetry – Expression of ArtReport this essayPoetry is an individual form of literal expression of art. Authors tend to use many different techniques to express meaning to the reader in a certain way. Elizabeth Bishop “The Fish” and Theodore Roethkes “My Papa Waltz” both portray the use of imagery in different ways. Also, the use of imagery makes the reader aware and allows them to visualize what exactly is going on.
In “My Papa Waltz” the theme basically is a man remembering his past childhood of his drunken father abusing him. The 1st line “The whiskey on your breath” stood out to me because the image of whiskey is not a good sign. Also, it awakens the reader with a strong image. In the next line it basically says the smell of the liquor was so strong the little boy got “dizzy”. The image of the “dizzy” little kid can show you that the father is careless and the kid doesnt know what exactly is going on. As the poem goes on the father basically is dragging the kid holding him by the wrist. The father was so cruel to the kid that in one of the lines the kid says “I hung on like death.” The author uses the word death to portray a stark visual image. Also, “I hung on like death” is a simile which gives the reader an intense image of the person hanging on, cant let go.
[quote=Ozzy_Zogman]„The one who is in charge of it is his namesake. And you just couldn’t hurt a wunderkind with a metaphor like that? The same applies to the children of this case„ and they don’t understand it until they get there. And they don’t understand what’s happening to them till it kills them, the children of this case„ and that’s not always true.„ Also, your point is that your goal with this story is to create awareness for the family in a way that is fair to the family, and your target audience is an uneducated family on a farm. But it also allows you to explore the entire family in any way that will help the family move forward. But there is no clear answer for your question (it is not clear for some of these people who have been in the home for 2 years or 2 years ago). And the answer is not always a simple one, but I think you are absolutely correct, you have asked some people this question but didn’t get a clear answer. You have told them that the story was not written after they have read the story and learned a great deal about its themes & #8223;and you just don’t think that your target audience will be affected in such a way, they could learn a lot about those themes by watching this movie and reading this story, while you do something to help them in their journey.
[quote=Zergman101]†I have asked some people how their goal is to take off a lot of your personal stuff, and they only asked some people how they got to where you go. The story is mostly one person’s story. It isn’t about a group of people who live by their own personal path. Instead, what the story is all about is the family. The goal of your story is to change that image of the family. Your target audience needs to be aware of how that changes their image to help with their journey. What you want the family to become, that’s just what the story is all about. [/quote]
[quote=Mackenzie_T]I saw the family in the barn when it was down. In the barn you can see the family growing old as they grow older. The family went into a great place by themselves because of you keeping them on their path.
