After Us

AAFTER US In this poem, the poet uses a surplus of imagery to allow the reader to fully see what she is trying to get us to picture. In the first line, she talks about how rain, which can be destructive or helpful, is seeping into a room where books and other material things reside. In the lines to follow, she writes about how everything that flourished under the sun, turned away to try and find the light that they so desperately need. This shows the destructive side to rain because it paints the picture of a dark day with rain falling and silencing all activities that happen during the day. In the second paragraph, the poet writes about a portrait, which has sketches of boats and barns and this creates the image of a perfect utopia where everything is peaceful and nothing has disturbed it. The paragraph that follows this peaceful picture, is where the foreboding and evil rain begins to make its appearance again. She writes about how everything that was ever thought of or invented or t...

THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE

TTHE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE 

A married woman and a drifter fall in love, then plot to murder her husband.

—Shannon Patrick Sullivan <shannon@mun.ca>
Drifter Frank Chambers arrives at a quiet California roadside restaurant where he meets and falls for drop-dead gorgeous Cora, the wife of restaurant owner Nick Smith. After weaseling his way into a job, the two begin a deadly love affair and cook up plans to end her marriage and start a new life together. After a few botched attempts at a clean break, they are forced to put their honeymoon on hold after being rerouted into the arms of a D.A. hot to convict and a corrupt lawyer with designs on Cora. Frank and Cora thought they packed just enough luck to avoid what should be unavoidable but the duo failed to account for the possible intervention of a formidable force that doesn't need a badge.

—Mae Moreno
Nick Smith, the middle-aged proprietor of a roadside restaurant, hires drifter Frank Chambers as a handyman. Frank eventually begins an affair with Nick's beautiful wife Cora, who talks Frank into helping her kill Nick, by "accident." But the best laid plans......

A Farewell

AA Farewell  Alfred Lord Tennyson’s poem “A Farewell” beautifully describes the fact that death is something which will come to everyone, be it rich or poor. No one on earth can escape death. We all feel that after we die people will be sad and mourn. Yes it is true that the people we love will be disheartened but their life will be the usual and the nature will also remain the same. Nature continues the way as though it was unaffected by our death. Rivulet for example at last merges into the river, becomes one with the river, similarly death which is a natural process makes us one with God. The line “Thy tribute wave delivers” reminds of a funeral which is carried out after the death of a person. The poem is expressed in a negative and depressing tone and expresses the fact that the moment an individual dies even his or her family is no longer interested in keeping the body with them. Lord Tennyson’s poem has a deep meaning because it explains the timidity of our existence. It exp...
