1.Analyze the poem “The Wild Honey Suckle”
令狐采学
Understand the title: 1.The name honeysuckle comes from the sweet nectar that the flower produces to intoxicate the greedy bee. Its powerful fragrance duces the human ns as it pervades the air. The perfume of this passionate plant may turn a maiden’s head, hence wild honeysuckle is a symbol of inconstancy in love.2. The word “wild” implies her living place; she lives in wilderness not in paradi or hou; so she will not be appreciated by others and feels sorrowful. Also it implies the nature, so we can say the writer is describing the nature.
2.Analyze Whitman’s “Song of Mylf” (Over 200 words)
美国绿卡"Song of Mylf" is all about the human experience. The human experience, here, means what men of the past, prent and future have en, touched, smelt, and heard. In this poem Whitman is explaining how all of humanity is like one living organism, and no one par
t is more important than the other. In ction 44 of "Song of Mylf" Whitman says, "We have thus far exhausted trillions of winters and summers, There are trillions ahead, and trillions ahead of them. Births have brought us richness and variety, And other births will bring us richness and variety. I do not call one greater and one smaller, That which fills its period and place is equal to any." It is clear that Whitman had a perspective of the human race and its history that escaped most writers. More specifically, Whitman speaks of equal contribution to the human experience in ction 42: "Here and there with dimes on the eyes walking, To feed the greed of the belly the brains liberally spooning, Tickets buying, taking, lling, but in to the feast never once going, Many sweating, ploughing, thrashing, and then the chaff for payment receiving, A few idly owning, and they the wheat continually claiming. This is the city and I am one of the citizens, Whatever interests the rest interests me, politics, wars, markets, newspapers, schools, The mayor and councils, banks, tariffs, steamships, factories, stocks, stores, real estate and personal estate.
3.护理札记读后感Emily’s “Becau I Could Not Stop for Death” (Over 300 words)
The poem begins with a leisurely image. At first, the protagonist feels totally at ea and the usually frightening death is described as if a familiar friend, gentle and polite. Continuingly, the poem is developed upon a basic metaphor that life is a journey. It was truly rather old a comparison, but Dickinson enriched it with her creativity and imagination: "School, where Children strove" --childhood; "Fields of Gazing Grain"--maturity; and "Setting Sun"--old age. Then “the Dews drew quivering and chill-” makes the protagonist feel terribly cold, which may mean that they are getting nearer and nearer to the tomb. But at last, his companions, Immortality and Death, finally dert him and leave him alone to go toward Eternity.
So it ems that though death cheats him and at the same time derts him, the experience of death itlf is not painful. Emily Dickinson’s poems just explain this kind of esnce of life, which then lead you to a world of imagination and thinking.漫画女孩简笔画

4. Appreciate the poem “In a Station of the Metro”.
The poem is esntially a t of images that have unexpected likeness and convey the r
are emotion that Pound was experiencing at that time. Arguably the heart of the poem is not the first line, nor the cond, but the mental process that links the two together. "In a poem of this sort," as Pound explained, "one is trying to record the preci instant when a thing outward and objective transforms itlf, or darts into a thing inward and subjective." This darting takes place between the first and cond lines. The pivotal mi-colon has stirred debate as to whether the first line is in fact subordinate to the cond or both lines are of equal, independent importance. Pound contrasts the factual, mundane image that he actually witnesd with a metaphor from nature and thus infus this “apparition” with visual beauty. There is a quick transition from the statement of the first line to the cond line’s vivid metaphor; this ‘super-pository’ technique exemplifies the Japane haiku style. The word “apparition” is considered crucial as it evokes a mystical and supernatural n of imprecision which is then reinforced by the metaphor of the cond line. The plosive word ‘Petals’ conjures ideas of delicate, feminine beauty which contrasts with the bleakness of the ‘wet, black bough’. What the poem signifies is questionable; many critics argue that it deliberately transcends traditional form and therefore its meaning is solely fo
und in its technique as oppod to in its content. However when Pound had the inspiration to write this poem few of the considerations came into view. He simply wished to translate his perception of beauty in the midst of ugliness into a single, perfect image in written form.
It is also worth noting that the number of words in the poem (fourteen) is the same as the number of lines in a sonnet. The words are distributed with eight in the first line and six in the cond, mirroring the octet-stet form of the Italian (or Petrarchan) sonnet.茶庄
5. Appreciate the poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snow Evening”.
“Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” like many of Frost's poems, explores the theme of the individual caught between nature and civilization. The speaker's location on the border between civilization and wilderness echoes a common theme throughout American literature. The speaker is drawn to the beauty and allure of the woods, which reprent nature, but has obligations—“promis to keep”—which draw him away from nature and back to society and the world of men. The speaker is thus faced with a choice
of whether to give in to the allure of nature, or remain in the realm of society. Some critics have interpreted the poem as a meditation on death—the woods reprent the allure of death, perhaps suicide, which the speaker resists in order to return to the mundane tasks which order daily life.
6.Analyze the poem “The Road Not Taken”.
薏苡仁的吃法
the poem is inspirational, a paean to individualism and non-conformism.
The poem consists of four stanzas. In the first stanza, the speaker describes his position. He has been out walking in the woods and comes to two roads, and he stands looking as far down each one as he can e. He would like to try out both, but doubts he could do that, so therefore he continues to look down the roads for a long time trying to make his decision about which road to take. The ironic interpretation, widely held by critics, is that the poem is instead about regret and personal myth-making, rationalizing our decisions.
In this interpretation, the final two lines:
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
are ironic : the choice made little or no difference at all, the speaker's protestations to the contrary. The speaker admits in the cond and third stanzas that both paths may be equally worn and equally leaf-covered, and it is only in his future recollection that he will call one road "less traveled by".
