Reflection #7: A Minor Bird

The poem A Minor Bird by Robert Frost is about when people is angry or mad. Some time when we are angry for something and an person get close to us we hurt or make that person go away even if that person is trying to help us. In the poem the bird resemble the good intentions of other people who want to help us. "I have wished a bird would fly away, And not sing by my house all day;", in here the author is representing when a person is angry at something an we make go away a person who is trying to help us. "The fault must partly have been in me. The bird was not to blame for his key". This is the part that we realize that the cause of that bad feeling is not in other people, that is in ourselves. "And of course there must be something wrong. In wanting to silence any song." The final part the poem the author explain that we have to look deep in ourselves to see what is wrong, try to be better persons and be grateful for the help of others.

Reflection #6 :The Panther

In the poem "The panther" by Rainer Maria Rilke, is represented a metaphor of confinement . The poem star with this panther who in his eye vision only see bars ,"His vision, from constantly passing bars...", it can be determined that the panther is inside a caged. The panther grow impatiently inside it, like when we see lion in a zoo that they are wandering around in circle in their caged, "As he pace in cramped circle, over and over,..". At the end the panther reached with fury the first thing he saw when the bars lift, "...,arrested muscles, plunges into the heart and is gone." This poem could represent how animals feel in imprisonment or how some men feel when they are confined and when they are free some of them commit crime again like the panther when the bars lift up.

Reflection #5: Poems

The poems have elements that make it more real and have us experiences thought images. The images have us verbal pictures that appeal to our senses. In the “Poem” of William Carlos Williams the line and stanza transform the poem in a rhythmic vernal picture because you can image what the cat is doing step by step. In “Calvary Crossing a Ford” by Walt Whitman you can imagine all the troop’s actions with the details that the poem have to us. In “Windsurfing” by Davis Solway the rhythm of the poem starts low and in the progress is more intensive and this help to imagine the poem. In “RootCellar” by Theodore Roethke the tone of the images and mood of the speaker are consistent and In Matthew Arnold’s “Dover Beach” they shift as the theme is developed. In Ezra Pound’s “In a Station of the Metro” the title is essential for this poem because help to imagine the setting and two sentences have selected words that make the poem to imaging to where are you looking in the metro.
