Eine schreckliche Verabredung mit... Luke Meine Verabredung letztes Freitag war furchtbar und sehr langweilig! Luke hatte lange fettige braune Haare und graue Augen. Er war sehr gross, sehr hässlich und wirklich schlaksig. Aber, er war ziemlich freundlich. Sein Leiblingshobby war trainspotting! Wir waren sehr verschie den weil er unheimliche Interessen gehabt! Auch, er hat seinem Hund gebracht. Das Hund war nass und übel riechend! Wir sind nach Part in Birghton gefahren. Die Party war sehr langweilig und langsam weil die Musik zu laut und schrecklich war. Es gab michts zu mache. Dannach, wir haben ins Restaurant gegessen. Das Restaurant war sehr klein und schmutzig. Auch, die Kellner waren schlect gelaunt, launisch und unverschämt! Ich möchte nicht zu gern jenem Restaurant wieder. Luke hat eine grosse Pizza und dann eine riesige Frites. Er hat zu viel gegessen! Ich habe ein Suppe gegessen. Die Suppe war kalt und wässerig! Die Nahrung war köstlich aber unglaublich teuer. Luke hatte kein Geld and ich war sehr böse. Es war sehr peinlich! Die Kellner waren ungeduldig. Ich wollte zu gehe Hause. Er hat auch vier Biere getrunken und er war sehr peinlich. Dann das wetter war nass und kalt. Ich was aüsserst unglucklich weil es Verabredung eine Katastrophe war. Es würde nie arbeiten.

alfred tennyson- the lady shalott
LORD ALFRED TENNYSON THE LADY OF SHALOTT Originally written in 1832, this poem was later revised, and published in its final form in 1842. Tennyson claimed that he had based it on an old Italian romance, though the poem also bears much similarity to the story of the Maid of Astolat in Malory's Morte d'Arthur. As in Malory's account, Tennyson's lyric includes references to the Arthurian legend; moreover, "Shalott" seems quite close to Malory's "Astolat." Much of the poem's charm stems from its sense of mystery and elusiveness; of course, these aspects also complicate the task of analysis. That said, most scholars understand "The Lady of Shalott" to be about the conflict between art and life. The Lady, who weaves her magic web and sings her song in a remote tower, can be seen to represent the contemplative artist isolated from the bustle and activity of daily life. The moment she sets her art aside to gaze down on the real world, a curse befalls her and she meets her tragic death. The poem thus captures the conflict between an artist's desire for social involvement and his/her doubts about whether such a commitment is viable for someone dedicated to art. The poem may also express a more personal dilemma for Tennyson as a specific artist: while he felt an obligation to seek subject matter outside the world of his own mind and his own immediate experiences--to comment on

I hope this will do, I hope it will pass I don't think I could, another one, write 'cause they're so hard, and a pain in the ass I really do hope, that this is alright.

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner-Issues of Paganism and Christianity
In spite of the fact that the Mariner prays to God, the poem is more Pagan than Christian. Consider Coleridge's presentation of the story of the Ancient Mariner in the light of this comment. In the epigraph to 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner', the quote that appears most prominent is 'there are more invisible natures than visible ones among the entities in the universe'. It is clear from this that Coleridge intended to explore both the physical and metaphysical/spiritual worlds within the poem. The 'invisible natures' referred to may be interpreted in many different ways and this will have an impact on whether it can be seen as Pagan or Christian. It may be hinting at a spiritual being, such as God, watching over the universe or perhaps many spiritual beings, as in Paganism, each responsible for their own area of nature. There is also the possibility that it isn't referring to those invisible presences working above nature, but those invisible presences among nature such as ghosts and the ability to carry out witchcraft. Unlike Christianity, a monotheistic religion, in which every follower believes in the same God (albeit sometimes interpreted in different ways in the 21st century) Pagans are free to believe in which Divine being, or beings they wish, making this religion highly personalised. The Mariner refers to 'God himself' in Part the Seventh, suggesting that

Almond Tree-John Stallworthy
The Almond Tree In the poem 'The Almond Tree', the poet manages to effectively deal with the subject of death, or in this poem, the death of the poets hopes, by using different techniques such as imagery and symbolism. In 'The Almond Tree' by Jon Stallworthy, the poet is drives to the hospital to see his new born son, and once arrives there, finds out his son has Down's Syndrome, and in the rest of the poem, the poet deals with the death of his hopes, and eventualy learns to accept his son. The poet manages to create an appropriate mood for the death of his hopes by having the first section of the poem be positive, and build up a positive and excited mood. The poet manages to create this postivite mood by imagery. When the poet is describing the traffic lights, he refers to them being 'green as peppermints', the reference to confectionery makes the reader associate the image with sweet and pleasant things. The poet is so excited that he feels he can change scenes to suit himself, shown when the poet says 'as if i were the lucky prince in an enchanted wood', this builds up the positive mood because it shows that the poet is very enthusiastic, and so the reader feels that enthusiasm too. The poet is very conscious of himself in the first section shown when he said he was 'aware of the blood running down the delta of my wrist', and so this shows how excited he is. The verse
How typical is the style and content of The Old Fools in Larkin's High Windows?
How typical is the style and content of The Old Fools in Larkin's High Windows? The Old Fools is primarily concerned with Larkin's fear of ageing and dying, a fear that pervades through the poems of High Windows. Using a slightly mocking tone, he attemps to understand the thoughts and feelings of the aged on the subject, but instead finds even more questions, and the inevitable realisation that "We will find out." Death is a frequently occurring subject in High Windows: in The Building, Dublinesque, Vers de Societe and The Explosin he explores the inevitability of death and it's consequences on his state of mind. Often, the idea of a lack of consolation from organised religion is present within these poems. Larkin, as an atheist, found little comfort in the idea of an afterlife, believing instead that "oblivion" was the eventual outcome for humankind: "...for unless its powers / Outbuild cathedrals, nothing contravenes / The coming dark..." Oblivion, as a general fate, is not all that appealing, yet Larkin manages to lift the spirit of The Old Fools with subtle touches of humour. The cynicism and sarcasm that he often uses in the collection do not detract from the more serious overtones of the poems, but they do 'lighten the mood', coupled with a use of more uplifting imagery that hints at non-Christian religon. "...all the time merging with a unique endavour / To
An essay on Ted Hughes' 'The Jaguar' that differentiates between the jaguar and the animals
An essay of Ted Hughes' 'The Jaguar' that differentiates between the jaguar and the animals. Hughes' poem portrays various zoo animals. However, as the title suggests, his focus is upon the jaguar, from which he distinguishes the other animals using a few literary devices. In the opening verse, the mood of faineance has an almost narcotic effect on the reader, created by the presence of punctuation and reinforced by the poet's use of words such as 'yawn', 'Fatigues', and 'indolence'. The parrots' shrieking "as if they were on fire" might perhaps stand out as a contrast to the relative dull and somnolence of the atmosphere if it were not for the fact that the entire verse is interrupted here and there by punctuation marks, which indicate pauses and which slow down the pace of the poem, thereby establishing the mood of boredom and sleepiness. The shrill noises made might not even be loud enough to be deafening or distracting, in which case the image conjured up in our minds would be one of the animals being lulled to slumber by the stillness and placidity of the zoo atmosphere, punctuated only occasionally by the squawks of the parrots. This lack of physical movement is further evidenced in the next stanza, where Hughes uses metaphorical language, calling the coils of the boa constrictor a 'fossil'. Here it is almost as if he is implying that the animals lie so still all
