Tone

Tone is a factor within poetry that allows for altercation of perception due to the situation. The tone of the story evokes the way we see it as described. Tonal shift allows the reader to encompass different and sudden change of feeling in relation to the plot and situation. For Instance when Hamlet first learns of his father's murder a sudden change from the mysterious, dark mood evoked by the Ghost to a shift to shock, anger, and revengeful. Such technique allows authors like Shakespeare to incorporate sudden, shocking, and  forward ideas that one can absorb to alter mood and perception of the plot. This allows Tone to work parallel to the climax.

Diction.

Diction is what comprises a poem to make it unique. The diction of a poem is another essential factor to making a poem your own. Each individual has their own diction that affects the overall perception for sound, imagery, and tone. The diction of poems allows for individualistic style and pattern to underlay an identity. Diction further goes to alter and make the perception and views of tone, mood, and imagery come to life. Essentially diction can invoke anything the author wants upon the reader during reading.

Imagry is an essential aspect in poetry. Its ties with setting and vividness are crucial points for the development of the poets initiall contentments. The perception of the poem is majority related to the poets use of imagery. For instance, In Yusef Komunyakaa Slam Dunk Hook  "Muscles were a bright motor Double-flashing to the metal hop Nailed to our oak." The authors imagery effectively conveys the perception of the working muscles partaking in the game; one example of infinite to highlight the importance and structure of poetry through imagery.

Sounds of poetry definitely allow for the true expression and tone in a poem through the structure of the diction. Literary devices such as: rhyme scheme, alliteration, caesura ect... all have different effects in the diction to alter perception. In " An Athlete Dying Young" A.E Housman the rhyme scheme of aabbcc allows for a more peppy, up-beat tone. Other devices such as caesura allows for more vocal, concentrated expression for specific feeling ex:"To-day". The countless devices available in writing allow novelists' to be able to express even the same views in similar manor, yet have a completely different interpretation thus highlighting the value of sounds in poetry.

Symbols allow for a greater intricacy and depth, supplementing the plot, characters, and setting to show the author's complexity. The implementation of symbols by both authors builds upon the story and enhances they dynamics, as well as maturing the novels. Symbols contribute to the view of readers with many accompanying aspects to allow the story to grow as they can be applied to anything in the books. This allows for multiple views and ideas. If symbols where not implemented we would find a very dry, dull, unsophisticated novel.

#3

Setting is the foundation for both authors writing to coincide with plot, characters, and conflict. Austen and Shakespeare implement setting to underlay tone for each story, as well as mood. The darkness of caves and castles coincide with the plot and theme of Hamlet to portray the tonal setting. Elizabeth is subjected to formal and uptight expectation involving her future family life. This is done through the setting of British countryside, and sophisticated balls and parties in manors. Both authors use setting to supplement external pressure and intimidation upon the protagonist. This successfully leads to the same overall mood and tone presented later during the climax in which the main characters try and overcome. In a sense they are not only overcoming their conflicts but the settings they coincide with.

#2

Characters prove to be highly complex, and interesting in both Austen's and Shakespeare's writings. Hamlet and Elizabeth are juxtaposed as protagonist roles that present many similarities in relation to conflict and plot: Conscious, Spite, and Pressure affecting both characters coincide to highlight the importance of characters in Hamlet and Pride and Prejudice. Both characters are faced with life altering decicions in wich they can pick only one irreversible outcome. Taboo and immoral action of the time period haunt both characters in letting them desire what they truly want. Guilt and family pressure also present hurdles to the protagonist to show the similar issues for entirely different characters in both time periods, settings, and novels.

Plot.

In Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Shakespeare Hamlet both dive into the realm of family conflict for a overall goal. In Hamlet such conflict arises from the murder of his father by his uncle, while Austen creates conflict through family and marriage life in the time period. Both main Characters shape the plot by exploiting irregular ideas and rebelling social norms that lead to a substantial downfall. Hamlet seems much more fantastical compared to the realistic conflict in Pride and Prejudice highlighting the difference in the writing and the plot. Both writers allow the story to progress smoothly through their writing and plot to achieve the overall goal of the characters, who at once their feat complete, proceed to end in downfall.

To his Coy Mistress Vs. As I Walked Out One Evening.

    Time and love are two realities that conflict and coincide in Andrew Marvell's To his Coy Mistress and W. H. Auden's As I Walked Out One Evening. It proves notable and ironic between the two poems that time can be used to manipulate love in many ways; In the case of Marvell it is as a "Carpe Diem" attitude of seize the day. In this poem the idea of love in the moment, as well as physical love, seem rushed and questionable. As I Walked Out One Evening showcases the importance of love in time and highlights how love in time is eternal. This outlook expresses a more legitimate tone and authenticity towards the love Auden is talking about. Both poems essentially point to the differences time and love can play on each other, and how one may feel about love in relation to time; thus subsequently leading to the different tone, and authenticity one may draw from each poem.

Ode on a Grecian Urn & As I Walked Out One Evening

Both of these poems highlight the relevance of love in time. Love in time is represented differently in each of the poems to distinguish sincerity and attitude to love. Ode points to how love becomes frozen in time to make love everlasting and important. Love is treated as a action of worship and appreciation. This contrasts much to As I Walked Out One Evening's prevalence on the importance of love in the moment and seemingly rushing pace. It seems the attitude toward love is less sincere and more a desire for affection in the moment.

Oztmandias vs. Ponder...

    The key similarity presented between the two poems is clearly time. The differences presented by the authors reflect and focus on the  appreciation for antiquity, as well as the despair for the 'decay' aspect  that arises through time for Ozymandias, where as Ponder, darling these busted statues showcases time as a privilege that is beautiful to experience and is best to be utilized in a 'Carpe Diem' attitude. Both author's reveal the same underlying message that time is something to be appreciated, and utilized.

Preformance

Eric Leino and I acted out the scene in which Hamlet discloses to Gildenstern and Rosencrantz that he knows they where "sent for." I played Hamlet, while Leino played my so called two friends. I highligted the madness aswell as the anger in my scence to show Hamlets dispositon to his friends. The incident encompasses Hamlet to act crazy at first, but then he turns angry such betrayl occured.

hw # 7 & 14

7.
   Deliberate strategy and natural reaction both play into Hamlet's perception of his anger and grief. This 'antic disposition' he has acquired stems both from human urge to express grief in a profound manor, and  a immensely  intelligent ploy to pin point the murderer of Hamlet's father.  This ploy Hamlet creates by acting crazy allows him to have an opertuinty in attaining revenge, and satisfaction out of the grief he is feeling. The grief he is feeling is expressed in the same manor: Crazy.

14.
   The first quote highlights how he is hinting to his friends to confess about their deceitfulness. This proves that Hamlet knows Rosencrantz and Gildenstern's intentions from early on.  This leads to the second quote that Hamlet also realizes he is pretty angry and 'mad' about his friends actions. This leads Hamlet to question his own perception of reality and what is normal. It seems he  got lost in the act of his own madness and cannot return now.

Discussion Question 4.

Laertes and Polonius both object to the relathionship of Ophelia and Hamlet, due to their overwhellming concern for the well-being of Ophelia. The approuch Laertes and Polonius take equates to a "good cop", "bad cop" system of persuation with Laertes softley suggesting she limit herself, compared to the demanding nature of Polonius to leave Hamlet. They reason that due to his kinship to the monarchy of Demark the class diffrence and nature of their relathionship could never work out. Also such relathionship is denounced to Ophelia as just purley flavourfull and lack of true love and caring. The over-pretective Laertes and Polonius view Ophelia as ill-willed and uneducated based on her decision to follow her heart and not her head. This highlights the objectication of women in the time by Shakspear.

Claudius & Hamlet: The Power Struggle

In William Shakspear's Hamlet, their is a definitive similarity between Claudius and Hamlet in their language demonstrating the power sruggle between the two. The attribution of traits such as: jealousy, insecurity, and hatred are presented in the core of both Claudius and Hamlet's language to indicate the competive desire for power. This disposition of revenge for Hamlet and sustainment of the thrown for Claudius shows the reasoning for each character to long for power, that allows Shakspear to also create a situational factor for the audiance to attribute "good" and "bad" to the characters in the play. Ovioussly the Consensus of Hamlet having desire to remove Claudius from his position seems justified since his father was murdered by Claudius and he took the throne and the Kings wife. Both however, show the same importance and worry in power through the context of their language. Language seems to be the primary factor in William Shakspear's Hamlet, in demonstrating the similarity of both Claudius and Hamlet's desire for power over one another through the reasoning of dispositional and situational factors.

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

" I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;"

   This quote in T.S Eliot's  poem represents the routine in Prufrock's life and how it has caused him depression to the point that he feels worthless. His routine that has constituted his living for nothing day by day brings Prufrock down to the epicenter of longing, insecurity, and timidness. This routine of disappointment and false hope for the attainment of love has left him feeling like nothing as he has nothing. Amongst such a situation and state of mind; one can determine that Prufrock has no sense of influence (in his view) to anything that could lead him to happiness, causing him to feel he has no justice in life.

Coy Mistress Essay

    In Andrew Marvell's Coy Mistress the main foundation of the poem is broken down into three separate stanzas: true love, true reality, and true desire. Each underlying a separate principle of the man in the poem. Of these three principles; True desire serves to be the  primary factor  in terms of attainment to the man in the poem. However, true love and reality serve to be vital installments in attaining desire.
    Stanza 1 concentrates on the significance and the beauty of the "Love" in poem. "An hundred years should go to praise...Thine eyes, and on thy forehead gaze; Two hundred to adore each breast" The incentive of time serves to prove, and justify love to make it feel sincere to the Mistress. The man exerts this to set the foundation of 'Love' and subsequently  reach  a  positive reality in terms of reaching desire. This reality in actuality does not contain love; but an old, desperate man  with a desire for a pure women. The reality of 'love' for the Mistress is actually just an allusion. "And your quaint honor turn to dust, And into ashes all my lust." The man is alluding in pity that time is against him, when in all truth it is his desire propelling him so low. In the last stanza the man excretes his true 'desire' which would be taking the Mistress' virginity. "Now let us sport us while we may; And now, like am'rous birds of prey, Rather at once our time devour, Than languish in his slow-chapp'd power." The three principles that Marvell present come to be symbols for not only men in general, but also the game in which men (and women) play in society  for the attainment of desire today, as they would in Marvell's day.

Coy Mistress

"Nor would I love at lower rate."
 
   The love Marvell express' through this statement is innocence. Not only does he express the feeling of "love" towards the mistress, but also highlights how she deserves it. Also Marvell highlights through this line that his love is real and sincere. However, The idea of time soon encompasses the author to change his opinion on "love" and realize that the effect of time on love will destroy it. Therefore the author highlights how the idea of Carpe Diem seems relevant

Mr. Collins: Funny or Nightmare???

    In Austen's writing one can clearly see her hidden message disguised by the allusion of  laughter and comedic situations. Mr. Collins is presented in a manner that encompass' the reader to find him comical in his relations to Elizabeth. However, in true reality; Elizabeth is dealing with the Nightmare of forced marriage to someone she does not agree with, and the struggle against the pressure of Mr. Collins,  family, and society. The cushioning pad of "funny" that Austen creates allows us to precept the situation in a different light, yet still understand its immorality. Moreover, one can infer that Collins is a strategic ploy for the reader to see the hidden message of the lifestyle of the 18th century, whilst presented in a comedic manor ism  to  allow the reader to understand the situation in a light tone.

Turnit in Comments:

I definatly feel that i could of improved my essay on Pride and Prejudice if I managed my time and editing. The comments suggesting I improve on my structure to supplement the thesis prove to be a crucial mistake that seems to bring down my essay. The list of three was poor judgment in writing that led to a thesis that does not live up to college standards at all. Next time i will be sure to present my thesis more undestandablly whilst making my argument relevant.

Q fo Quentin

    Essay Q is undoubtedly brilliantly written and significant in relation to the authors thesis. Essay Q presents us with concise body paragraphs, along with  quotes which are all relevant and explained in kin to the plot. The author's claim that characters are at mercy to their social and physical environment is intellectually and complexly integrated into the body of the essay through impressive writing. In support the author also produces a great essay as he/she creates a unobstructed flow from start to finish, supplemented by deep, concise body paragraphs filled with appropriate information. Essay Q's sophisticated style, and writing dubs it the best essay i have read so far in our packet.

E for Eunice

Although essay "E" presented an unorthodox format and intro/thesis, I actually found it a very intellectual, yet easy work to read that effectively  demonstrated its thesis. The author also includes quotes in questionable positions, However, each quote is correctly explained and made relevant to the essay. The simple writing of the author still manages to encompass us in a intellectual manor that one can appreciate reading. Out of the three essays "E" manages to be the most strange, yet still the most effective, and interesting essay to read.

A for Alfi

Of the three essay's I read i found "A" to be more concise, and well written. The author provides a flow in terms of expressing her views. Although the thesis may be slightly unclear, and wordy; the general point of how Austen introduces characters through multiple means such as gossip is clearly understood. The author of "A" combined  complex writing and sufficiently detailed body paragraphs, to demonstrate a well constructed essay that superseded the ability of the writers of essay's "B" and "C" who presented good, yet wordy, over technical drafts.

The Power of The Foil.

Austen implements the power of foiling to supplement the lifestyle of snobbery, and constant gossip of others to reveal characters such as Darcy in multiple perceptions.
