Evening Literature Reviews Samples For Students

Abstract

Jane Kenyon’s poem Let Evening Come is an appeal to the innumerable readers to embrace the inevitable which awaits human beings at the end of the journey of life.

The poet, Adrianne Rich, uses a sense of time to express deep emotions in her art works. In the case of the two poems, “In the Evening” and “In Those Years”, time is used to tell the readers what she feels about her relationship on life and love. Also, there seems to be a general theme of sadness in her poems, and even of regret on certain things that have been lost as many years pass in her lifetime.
In “In Those Years”, Rich tells the feeling of losing mutual love as they grow older. This is seen in the ...

Robert Frost depicts the life and landscape of New England in his poetry and uses traditional verse forms and metrics. At the same time, Frost is more than a country poet. He develops universal themes through dark thinking, and psychological portraits. His works are filled with uncertainty and irony. In poems “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” "Acquainted with the Night," “Desert Places,” Frost presents solitary lyrical heroes wandering in natural scenery. Their meeting or observation of the nature, another human being or an object arouses understanding of their link to others or isolation from the world. The poems research ...

[Interpretive Question: Why does Adrienne Rich enjoy her moments with her lover when she seems to be against the practice of cohabitation?]
Adrienne Rich’s poem, “Living in Sin”, explores her viewpoints regarding cohabitation, or the mutual decision between lovers to share a single house even if they are not yet married. This poem is not only romance-based, but also suggests implications on the problems concerning cohabitation and having sex outside of marriage, more particularly from the side of a female lover. These conflicts involve the poet’s belief on society’s discrimination against cohabitation, her own sense of moral ...

"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" (“Prufrock”) was first published in the June 1915 issue of Poetry: A Magazine of Verse (“Poetry”). It was written by American-British poet T. S. Eliot (“Eliot”) (1888–1965). Eliot first started work on the poem in February, 1910. As the Overseas Editor of Poetry, Erza Pound (“Pound”) had instigated the whole business (n.a., n.d., “Bio,” 2014; and McCoy, 1992).
Prufrock has been studied by many, many talented scholars. In fact, what makes it such an outstanding piece of poetry is the fact that people can read so many meanings into it. ...

Profiling has become one of the most successful and productive method to solve crimes. Within the recent decades police has been working side by side with psychiatrists and psychologists to create a specific algorithm to profile and catch the offenders that were believed to be “uncatchable". FBI turned out to be the most prominent in this field of research. Profiling nowadays is a combination of law enforcement and science, especially psychology. It is used on a daily basis; however, it is still a new filed of science without many definitions or boundaries. Therefore, it's a common thing for its practitioners to come up with ...

Abstract

Water is the most important source of life. Survival of any living organism without water is impossible. Though a large part of the earth is constituted of water, the supply of fresh water is limited to only 3% of the total amount of water found on the earth's surface. With the demand for fresh and clean water rising across the world, it is time for us to think seriously about the importance of water conservation. There are several engineering and behavioral practices which, if adopted by us at home, industries and other spheres of work and life, can reduce the ...

The portrait of “The Guitar" by Federico Garcia Lorca is of a bleak and unfriendly place. Its fares are so awful that even the inanimate are affected—hence, we have weeping guitar. The depression of this instrument is not inexplicable as examples are provided of detached relationships. What is worse is how the tender despair is ignored, and pried at by uncaring fingertips.
If it were not for the title, I would not have realised that the poem was, in fact, actually about the guitar. As in, Guitar the main subject, instead of guitar the supporting character. Very soon ...

However, I always kept my guard up and tensed my entire body if I thought she might come my way. (Pelzer, 1993)

Here the child implies that he would always be alert and expect anything. This is due to the bad treatment that he had been accustomed.
In life, we usually have situations that make us afraid and hence taking caution and being prepared for the worst. There is usually nothing we can do about them yet we just have to take some measures to ensure we are on the defensive,

As June turned to early July, my morale dwindled. (Pelzer, 1993)

The child lost hope, there ...
