Sylvia Plath work

sir just before I do my work is birthday present a poem about a baby and I also am struggling to understand the applicant but is it a poem about insecurity?

evidence for emotion in daddy

“I have lived like a foot For thirty years, poor and white, Barely daring to breathe or Achoo”

this can insinuate that she is scared ,because she says she can not make a noise or a breath meaning she could be trying to hide from something or someone.

“I have had to kill you. You died before I had time–”

the emotion in this sentence is anger, mainly because shes making threat on her fathers life .Which is very extreme and this could mean that she had a bad past with her father.

“I have always been scared of you, With your Luftwaffe, your gobbledygoo.”

for this sentence its very easy to see the general emotion is fear but what is interesting is she gives reasons the first being Luftwaffe which is the Nazi German air force her father was German but she is implying that her father was a Nazi soldier these soldiers are seen as a figure of pain through the period of  the second world war and also in modern times because of what they did to europe.an other reason is gobbledygoo which i would understand as gibberish but maybe its her referencing to a different language which would be probably be German because she links to it in the poem 4 or so times this is not a common modern fear but it would of probably been a fear in the times of the second world warit would of been seen as the language of evil because of the brutal nazi regime.

” a swastika So black no sky could squeak through. Every woman adores a Fascist, The boot in the face, the brute Brute heart of a brute like you”

the emotion i can gather from this pain from when she says the boot in the face and from the mention of black which can also be related to darkness which is often related with pain.

 

“There’s a stake in your fat black heart And the villagers never liked you. They are dancing and stamping on you. They always knew it was you. Daddy, daddy, you b**tard, I’m through”

this paragraph is in my view is the most strong when it comes to emotion and variety of emotion she is at this angry pointing out how black and dark this person is and almost telling her father that they are better dead and that every body is happy that he has passed and by swearing at him but i can also detect pain by when she repeats “daddy”  repeating something which many people do when they are crying or trying to reinforcing a point but both of these reasons lead me to believing that she is showing the most emotion in this paragraph.

evidence for emotion in the arrival of the bee box

“they can die, I need feed them nothing, I am the owner.”

 

“wonder how hungry they are. I wonder if they would forget me If I just undid the locks and stood back and turned into a tree. There is the laburnum, its blond colonnades, And the petticoats of the cherry.”
sir can i post the responses tomorrow please ive got loads of history work which I need to finish

Taming of the Shrew – Plot Summary

The play starts in a tavern in the english country side where a drunken man is having an argument with a taverness after a while of arguing he then leaves the tavern and passes out outside while this is going on a local lord is coming by coming back from a hunting session and finds him passed out on the ground then the lord decides to play a trick on him and try to convice him that he is a lord so he wakes up and he is shrowded in beautiful robes and the taiming of the shrew starts in a city called Padua in Italy when

Work from class

To say that petruchios profound language and and insulting behaviour is definitely not fair and completly not comparable to Kate’s individualality just because she’s strong minded and has no desire to be the property of a man. Kate’s society from the play can definetly be described as sexist and even can be described as misodunistic, in the play many times men describe women as property ad useless when he says “Woman are made to bear, and so are you.” This insinuates that women are too be owned this can mean a vairiaty of things like she should stop being indipendent and she should stop”thinking she’s special” and that she should start to conform in her present society but ultimately from the many meanings but ultimately we can gather that that particular passage of speech was sexist as well as misodunistic

updated due to a complication sir sorry

There are many themes in the plays of Shakespeare but the three main most prominent themes I believe are the transition of power, social conformity and sexual transition in the following piece i will explain these three aspects in the next couple of  paragraphs

This theme is used allot in Shakespeare such plays such as Macbeth ,  Henry the fifth and Richard the third these are just three of eight plays which have this underlining themes under this theme there are many small themes such as ambition and jallousy [see appendix 1 for quotes] there are many violent power transitions in Shakespeare plays such as Richard the third, Hamlet and Macbeth but in some plays such as king leer deal with volentry and peaceful transition of power.

Another theme which is prominent is social conformity is in taming of the shrew Katherine is avoided by potential suitors because she does not act within the walls of social traditionalist rules and not also to the expectations of the society as well  and only finds a place in society when she learns to do so . Coriolanus also fails to achieve his political ambitions because he will not conform. social conformity is also very prominent in today’s society people love the idea of ” fitting in” so the idea i could guess that this idea was also very current at the time  it must of been very current as well due to the fact that the class system was very much more in society so the idea of being part of a group or faction must of been very inviting making the audience really understand the play.

sexual identity is also a popular theme of Shakespeare it tends to bee used in his comedy’s mostly, its mostly many of Shakespeare’s  plays involve women who impersonate men.such as in Twelfth Night, makes a number of  statements about how men love more than women do, and Viola, in her guise as Ceasario, poignantly explodes them back in Shakespeare’s day many people belived that women were more sexualy charged then men making husbands be completily paronoyed and many a time Shakespeare dums this completely void stereotype in many plays many some charecters such as Imogen, Desdemona, Mrs. Ford and Hero are all falsely suspected of adultery, and they are all innocent

the right word

the right word is a poem which challenges are perception of things that we see in society such as news and media but brings a harsh reality to the subject in this case going rom a terrorist but then strips it down to a polite boy the structure of the poem is in paragraphs which is fitting for its poetic stance the wrighter describes her poem as a “challenge to the wording and imagery of modern society on subjects such as media, racism and terrorism” the message the reader might get from this poem is that everything has a much harsher reality making the poem a success in conveying the right meaning it has the poem is directed to any one and is presented as a number of questons and answers.

it has a  slightly confused tone which makes the poem sound alomost childish the imagry the reader can get from the poem is a changing human but becoming  smaller eventualy becoming a child coming to the readers door and politely taking off his shoes which inplys that everything has a raw innocence the theame of the is hidden meanings and raw realitys the idea that everything has layers and can take diffrent paths meanings but can all be related to one thing in this case the innocence of a child

wow who am i what,where. how who what ,what am i doing what am i talking if that’s what it is i fell an endless void of nothingness coming towards me an end less void of empty “hello” the man said an odd man he was in a chair but with circles huh this is odd i know words but understand them less than i understand myself words, the man changed his slightly dazed patronizing look but now greeted me with great urgency and a hint of distrust who am I is the word at the back of my mind i understand nothing sweat pealing down my brow mor undiscovered meaningless which some how I know terrific “he’s mad look at him “ I since another presence looking around im confronted by an odd creature he is a man 40 perhaps how do i know these words ! i feel as if someone is talking for me and I don’t have the power or personal intellect to understand him the man was not sharp-looking like the other one he took something out of his pocket this a bad thing I don’t seem to know why but I just do all the while ive been thinking they seemed to have been starting to speak very loudly this puzzles me I hear a noise I don’t like this I quickly find myself moving its odd i can use my legs so well must be the one right thing my mother got right “get he’s a cop” the man spoke differently to the man in the chair quickly moving i find myself running that’s a good word for it i dont understand why I have such a grasp of this my anatomy yet I don’t know anything about its experiences still running I find myself following a narrow stretch of tarmac as I run I see signs and less wood land little more than ten meters away from me the woodland starts thinning and after about 18 minutes of running different scents come to me oily gassy is the only words i can think of the outside was so nice why did it need to go when this feels worse it dazzles me though looking at large pointy structures touching the sky as if to be stairways to the stars I start to move forward now looking like a dazzled child with my mouth half-open intrigued,dazzled and in awe of its modern beauty I notice more people they litter the streets like ants in a hive different people different looks different colours how could this be fround on it makes the world beautiful and different if we were all the same we are undeveloped i feel tired as im walking a man urges me to come near him odd he does not know me yet he gestures toward me to come near him “come my good sir sit we make the best coffee in america” him like the man in the wheelchair sounded different to everyone boom! darkness…

english of mice and men work (crooks)

the first prejudice i noticed was the racism towards black people in the time the book was written racism in the usa was common to the extent that it was counted as normal the way it is first suggested when candy refers the charecter crooks as a nigger this is the first notion towards the times racial views but in the book never refers to the charecters saying this to be mean or racal this helps me make the conclusion that  The men don’t mean to insult Crooks every time they call him this, but they never think to use his name which tells you alot about the author and the time at which the book was written and the time it refers to.

the charecter that shows this prejudice is called crooks is interesting to the reader he is one the only permenent enployes at the ranch yet but yet has undoubtitly the worst prejudice towards him this the author is kind  to him in the way he gives him a name a background story and ges into detail when describing him this may lead to the reader beliving that the author is not racist or has diffrent views to the stereo typical wight man of the time in queston but that view is challenged by the notion that the author is to free to use racist terms crooks is a stable buck he is disfigured due to a horse kicking him in the back his back gives him constant pain He is the only black man around and feels isolated due to his colour this leads him to  feel that he can’t go into the bunk-house or socialise with the men All this has made him proud and aloof. but He still feels lonely he discloses this to lennie when he comes into his room“S’pose you didn’t have nobody. S’pose you couldn’t go into the bunk house and play rummy ’cause you were black… A guy needs somebody – to be near him… I tell ya a guy gets too lonely an’ he gets sick”. the little time he spends with the other ranch hands is when he plays hoseshoes He has his own room near the stables and has a few possessions. He has books, which show he is intelligent and an old copy of the California Civil Code, which suggests he is concerned about his rights
