Poetry Analysis

Speaker: Lucille is the speaker of the poem, and she's watching Miss Rosie on the street.
Occasion: There doesn't seem to be an occasion, but Miss Rosie's appearance prompts Lucille to speak.
Audience: Miss Rosie is the audience, and we know from the poem she's ragged.
Purpose: The purpose of the poem, to me, is to tell Miss Rosie that even though she's already lost, she's not forgotten, and other people have hope because of her appearance.
Subject: The subject of the poem is Miss Rosie.
Tone: Lucille talks to Miss Rosie rather harshly, and she doesn't seem to feel any compassion for her. Almost like she was jealous of her.
Theme: The theme seems to be that Miss Rosie was once beautiful and amazing, but her beauty quickly faded and all she was left with was her haggard appearance. Once no one looked at her, she became just another bum, and we shouldn't let beauty be the main factor.

What is Poetry?

Poetry can be a lot of things. When I think of poetry, I think of all different styles and formats of writing. I think of Haikus, epics, and Walt Whitman. Poetry is more than stanzas and line spaces and words. It's more than analyzing and reading. Poetry is beauty. You can live a million different lives in poetry, and you can do horrible things. Poetry is just sensical stories. It can mean so much and so little at the same time. Poetry shouldn't be defined as literature organized into stanzas and line breaks. Poetry will always be the most amazing form of writing. That's what Webster needs to learn.

English 9-10: Poetry Connection

'Hope' is the Thing With Feathers:
Emily Dickinson is trying to tell the reader about hope. The meaning of "Hope" is that hope is always there, and it's always sweet or good. It 'never stops -- at all'. Hope keeps 'so many warm' and it takes a lot of horrid things to push hope away. Emily states at the end that she has 'heard it in the chillest land -- And on the strangest Sea-- Yet, never, in Extremity, It asked a crumb -- of me.' Hope is everywhere, and it doesn't ask anything of you. It's always there for you, unabashedly. I chose this poem because hope is always there for you, and it makes you do amazing things. Reading about that makes you want to do those things.
I connected with the poem because hope is a good thing to have. Whenever I'm going through a really rough time, I always try to think of the positive things in my life, or what I'm going to do about the bad things, and, through having hope, I get courage, and, eventually, happiness. Emily Dickinson describes hope so well that you automatically connect with the poem because anyone who has ever had hope knows what it feels like. They also know what it's like to lose it. Having hope makes you invincible.
