The similarity between the appeals and aspects of car ads.
The similarity between the appeals and aspects of car ads Advertising has several ways of getting into people's mind, such as ads in newspapers, magazines and TV. The ads in magazines can be very different in their appearance and their appeals to the consumer, but if we put together three products of the same kind, we will see that the objectives of each of the ads are really similar but they try to get peoples attention in different ways. All the ads I choose are from cars. But these are cars that are done for a certain group of people, with a good income and life status. There are different signs and symbols, and many important things in each ad, which sometimes are not seen by people, but have effects on people when they look at the ad. These three ads are from three different manufacturers and different publishers. All of them are trying to get the attention of the same type of people and with the same objective, making the people get the car, and that is why they concentrate in the same needs and aspects. In one hand, Jaguar ad is in some sort of way strange. The ad is composed by a central image of the car, and then of several pictures with people and places with the car too. It has dark colors, almost making it hard to see at the beginning, but they give the impression of peace and harmony all around the car. It uses shadows of green and gray in all of the pictures.
Ted Hughes's predatory poems.
Monday 1st October 2001 Xavier H Keenan 148 Ted Hughes's predatory poems. Hughes writes brilliant meaningful poems about predators. He likes to get across to the reader all the mean sides of the animal, like thrushes, you don't expect them to be such a predatory animal until you read the poems and then, you do begin to realise. For example, the Jaguar; it is so different to all the other animals in the zoo and isn't as boring, slow or dull as any of the other creatures. It seems to have a mind and a radical imagination of it's own. Hughes describes this beast in so many uncountable ways and you don't think of it like he does! You really can picture it in your head and they all make you imagine what's happening, the Jaguar is a prime example, like 'apes yawn .... in the sun! Every word counts in these poems, if for example a line or even a verse was skipped, it would be a bit tragic and it would turn the whole of the poem around. It is vital for each poem verse to be there to explain the poem, like in jaguar again, if you took out the first verse, then it wouldn't really be very good, because you need the detail of the yawning apes and the shrieking parrots to show how fierce and wilful the jaguar is. All the four poems that I was given have got some many things in common with each other and this adds to Hughes's uniqueness in his poems. They all have the same sort of
Critical Commentary on The Though-Fox written by Ted Hughes.
Critical Commentary on The Though-Fox The Thought-Fox, is one of a number of animal poems written by Ted Hughes. In this poem he uses the extended metaphor of a fox to represent his inspirations and ideas. By describing the movements and actions of the fox, we are taken through step by step how this, and perhaps other poems were written. The first stanza immediately introduces us to the setting of the poem and to the poet himself. It is "midnight", which is the most mysterious time of night, and he is imagining this "moment" in the "forest". The alliteration of the 'm' sounds found in "imagine this midnight moment" creates a harmonious sound which mirrors the setting it is describing. This is the unreal setting which then continues throughout the poem and contrasts with the real, domestic setting of "clock" ticking. A "forest" is a wild place where anything can happen, which leads us to think that it is a metaphor for the speaker's mind, or imagination. The colon found after the word "forest" creates the sense that a list will follow but at the same time separates the two settings. As he says that "something else is alive beside the clock's loneliness", we get the feeling that he is completely alone with only the "clock" to keep him company. We learn that he is a writer as he moves his "fingers" around "this blank page". Because the "page" is "blank", we can tell that at
Compare and contrast the two poems: 'Turkeys Observed' - (Seamus Heaney), and 'View of a Pig' - (Ted Hughes).
Hannah Williams 10D Poetry Essay 'Turkeys Observed' - Seamus Heaney 'View of a Pig' - Ted Hughes Compare and contrast the two poems: 'Turkeys Observed' - (Seamus Heaney), and 'View of a Pig' - (Ted Hughes). In the two poems - 'Turkeys Observed' and 'View of a Pig', the titles are very similar. ''View'' and ''Observed'' - to examine, and to watch. This gives the reader the impression that the poets were very attentive to the detail of the animals - and so made the poem more interesting. The main comparison between the two poems is that they are both about animals. One is about a ''Pig'' and the other about a ''Turkey''. Also they are similar because both animals are dead - this makes us feel pity for them, though Hughes does not seem to: ''I thumped it without feeling remorse''. The content of the poems contrast because one of them pity's the dead animal - Heaney: ''One observes them, one expects them; Blue-breasted in their indifferent mortuary''. And the other disrespects it and doesn't care - Hughes: ''It was just too dead. Just so much a poundage of lard and pork.'' There is also great contrast at the beginning of the poems in the first verse. Hughes mentions ''the pig'' in the very first line. He does this to get straight to the point and to give the impression that it is not worth lingering over. Whereas
Esthers Tomcat by Ted Hughs.
Michelle Moran 4F1 Esther's Tomcat Essay "Esthers Tomcat" by Ted Hughs is a lively and descriptive poem that tells you about the different sides and natures of cats. The poet uses many different figures of speech such as alliteration , similies and asonance to contrast the elegant and violent sides of this creature. The first line of the poem is very important. The first word "Daylong" has long stresses to help you notice how long the cat lies there for. "This tomcat" invites you into the poem. It is saying "this tomcat lying right here." "Stretched" also has long stresses to emphasise how far the cat is stretched out. The next line describes the way the cat looks. "Flat as an old rough mat." This gives me the impression that the tomcat's fur is sticking out this way and that. But it also describes the strength of the cat "Rough," shows us that the cat is very rough when fighting and also how strong he is when fighting. "Rough" also describes how he feels when you stroke him. This is also effective use of a similie. "Continual wars and wives are what Have tattered his ears and battered his head" This part of the poem tells us how many fights the tomcat has been in. "Wars and wives," is a good use of alliteration. It shows us the most important part of the sentence, again emphasising the amount of fights and the amount of "wives" he has had. In the next line, we are
Compare how Ted Hughes writes about animals in two of his poems.
Compare how Ted Hughes writes about animals in two of his poems. You should think about: * the way the animals are portrayed * the words and images Hughes employs * how you respond to the animals in the poems Below is a possible answer to the question above. It is not a model answer, and has several things wrong with it, but would achieve a grade C in the English literature exam. Read through the answer and try to see why it should gain a C. Here are the criteria it needs to match. * Sustained knowledge of text * Structured response to task * Personal involvement/empathy * Appropriate comment on meaning/style * Effective use of reference/supporting textual detail * Sustained comment on social/cultural/historical issues or context Response In both "Work and Play" and "Hawk Roosting" Ted Hughes writes about birds. Both the hawk and the swallow are portrayed as beautiful creatures. The hawk is described as an extremely violent and arrogant animal that believes it is god ("I hold creation in my foot"). Hughes allows the reader to see that the bird is quite foolish, as we obviously know that it is not as powerful as it thinks it is. Hughes makes his hawk a very violent creature with its "allotment of death". This is quite shocking and almost repulsive. In contrast to the arrogant and almost repulsive attitude of the hawk, the swallow is portrayed as a
To Paint a Water Lily - Ted Hughes believed that nature is far more violent and dangerous than man realises - How did he communicate this message in the poem?
To Paint a Water Lily Ted Hughes believed that nature is far more violent and dangerous than man realises. How did he communicate this message in the poem? The writer makes a deceptive start. He deceives us and misleads us to a rather different conclusion than his. Our initial impression is that we will be told how to paint a water lily whilst an artist is painting one. It also makes me think of Monet's Water- lilies. In my mind I picture a beautiful lake shaded by large leafy willow trees, a bridge dominating the view and an army of dragonflies over a lily filled pond. It is an idyllic view. However it is not the impression formed by the poet Ted Hughes. Ted Hughes wants us to understand his view of nature by describing it as an arena, "the flies furious arena", which makes me think of an ancient Roman arena, where gladiators fought to the death of their opponents. In Ted Hughes' mind, the flies are no different from the gladiators. It paints a much darker picture than the impression given by the title. The flies fight their prey to the death, not for entertainment but for survival. Ted Hughes however portrays this as entertainment, as in ancient Roman spouts, to spectators when it is not. He tells us that it is a fast efficient killer, " First observe the air's dragonfly, that eats meat, that bullets by". When the dragonflies are in the arena they are without
Ted Hughes: "Hughes' early poems describe the animal kingdom with exact naturalistic detail. They also focus on animals to probe at aspects of human nature."
Ted Hughes: "Hughes' early poems describe the animal kingdom with exact naturalistic detail. They also focus on animals to probe at aspects of human nature." During the course of this essay I will be discussing this title with respect to two of Hughes' poems, 'Hawk Roosting' and 'Pike'. Firstly I will examine the title in relation to the poem 'Pike'. The first stanza of Hughes' poem shows a distinction between his own style and the Romanticism of the Nineteenth Century's style of poetry: 'Pike, three inches long, perfect Pike in all parts, green tigering the gold. Killers from the egg: the malevolent aged grin. They dance on the surface among the flies.' In contrast to Wordsworth's idealism's, and pondering of nature and delicate human emotions, "Pike" shows a rough and more realistic nature. Unlike the beautiful, idyllic scenes of the Romantics that evoked complex views, Hughes' poem describes simple human emotions. This occurs because "Pike" depicts a nature commanding respect for its obvious rawness, power, and uniqueness, in contrast to the universal "Nature" of the Nineteenth Century. Hughes accomplishes this through impressive imagery, poetic devices, all of which evoke powerful emotions from the reader. The subject of the poem, a fish species called pike, are known to be voracious predators, disliked and even feared by some anglers but greatly admired by
Poetry Comparison - 'Telephone Conversation' by Wole Soyinka and 'Ballad of the Landlord' by Langston Hughes.
Poetry Comparison The two poems 'Telephone Conversation' by Wole Soyinka and 'Ballad of the Landlord' by Langston Hughes both focus on the issue of racism. Thus the poems have a similar theme but present the theme in a variety of different ways. The backgrounds of the poets tell us a lot about their intentions. Soyinka is a Nigerian who was raised as a Christian. He is also highly educated and went to two universities, one a Nigerian university the other an English university. His background shows he mingled into western society but he was never treated as an equal. Soyinka wrote political literature and was arrested for seizing radio stations and making a political broadcast about the fairness of the Nigerian elections. He was politically oppressed and his whole life has been a struggle. He often voiced his opinions on the Nigerian government and the racism he has experienced. His intentions are quite clearly shown in 'Telephone Conversation' where he illustrates a typical example of racism, possibly autobiographical, through the absurd reaction of the landlady. If he had gone to see the flat, the landlady would have lied and told him it was already taken so it would have been directly racist. But when he rings on the phone, she tells him the flat is free before being told by the character, who is anxious not to make a wasted journey, that he is black. The landlady asks how

Stressed/unstressed, iambic pentameter etc b. Form on page, reasons for. 4. Language and Poetry techniques 5. Personal preference and reason For this essay I need to compare and contrast a pre 20th Century and 20th Century piece of poetry that share animals. The Two poems I have chosen are Horses be Edwin Muir for my pre 20th century piece. For my 20th century text I have chosen "The Jaguar" by Ted Hughes. The two poets are using their poetry to inform their audience about their beliefs and thoughts on certain issues. In "Horses" by Edwin Muir the poet is informing the audience about his thoughts on the beginning of the industrial revolution and the effect it will have on the countryside and in particular the shire horse. In "The Jaguar" Ted Hughes makes us aware of his dislike of zoos and the imprisonment of animals and the feelings they encounter, boredom, hope and loneliness. Within "Horses" the poet informs us about his fascination with the shire horse. He describes them as 'like a magic power'. This fascination has been lifelong, from some 'childish hour' to the present time. The poet is fascinated by their
