Poem Comparing Essay

Good evening Mr. Georges and fellow classmates, I have re navalrched nigh 2 poems and made a comparison between the deuce. Im here today to talk to you near them and see what you think at the block up of the speech. The two poems I reoceanrched were (on the sea, author John Keats) and (sea fever, author John Masefield). as you can see from the title of the poems that they are bot about the sea but get intot be confused, theyre both completely different stories.Both of these poems talk about the sea, they are both referring to the sea as a homo and identifying it in a human characteristic kind of federal agency. As we can see along the sonnet (on the sea), the author uses terms as uproar rude, flop swell, caverns, and vexed, desolate shores. He besides mentions The Greco-Roman goddess Hecate associated with magic and the wild. This is referring to the sea and how ruthless it can be.This poem deals with nature, focusing on its wild and violent side. This poem also reflects on human actions. The poem is comparing the nature with the human creation, because we can also get wild and violent. It seems a criticism of the alienation of the human being -above all when living and working in big cities. So the author may be calling our attention the speaker of the poem addresses to us (Oh ye) -And natural endowment us a piece of advice- not to underestimate nature.John Masefields poem Sea Fever is a work of art that brings beauty to the face language through its use of rhythm, imagery and many complex figures of speech. The imagery in Sea Fever suggests an adventurous ocean that appeals to all five senses. on with an adventurous ocean, Sea Fever also sets a mood of freedom through imagery of traveling gypsies.These poems both use a rhythmic intuitive feeling in their stanzas. In the sonnet sea fever lines 3 and four, it uses rhythmic language, these lines say And the wheels kick and the winds song and the clean navigates shaking, And a grey mist on the se as face, and a grey dawn breaking These are just two lines in the poem but if you actually read the poem you can see examples of rhyme throughout the only poem.In the sonnet On the sea examples of rhythmic language can be found in the lines 4 and 5, these lines say Of Hecate leaves them their old shadowy sound, Often tis in such palliate hold in found and as in the first sonnet, this sonnet also has rhythmic language throughout the whole poem.These poems also have their differences they apiece talk about the sea but in a different perception. The sonnet, (on the sea), talks about the sea and how angry it can be, it is comparing the sea with human actions and is warning the humans to be careful of the nature. It talks about the Greco-Roman goddess Hecate associated with magic and the wild. I wonder if the author is referring to something that happened to his life that made him so angry to write this poem, what do you think it could be?The Author uses language techniques like Pers onification, Capitalisation and rhyme. He personifies the Sea in line 5 by saying it has a gentle temper. The author uses capitalization for the word Sea which makes me believe that he was trying to make the subject of the poem a human. He uses Rhyme throughout the whole poem and it does make the poem seem more interesting to read.The sonnet (sea fever) is completely opposite to the sonnet (on the sea) because sea fever talks about the sea but it talks about a sailor and how he just cant wait to get on a ship and sail into the sea. This poem talks about a sailor who is very excited to go out to sea, he wants adventure, and he wants a wild journey into the ocean living the vagrant gypsy life. The author refers to the sea as a home to this sailor unlike the sonnet (on the sea) which refers to the sea as a wild, solemn and ruthless place.The author uses language techniques like Metaphors, emotive language and Repetition. Examples of Metaphors used in this poem are (sea and the sky) li ne 1, (star to steer) line 2, (and gulls way and the whales way where the winds like a whetted knife) line 10. Examples of Emotive language used in this poem are (to the lonesome sea and the sky) line 1 (and the sea gulls crying) line 8. An example of repletion is that he starts every stanza with the sentence (I must go down to the seas again).So in conclusion these poems are similar but different in many ways, and like me and you each of them has their ups and downs. They both talk about the sea but each in a different perception. Thanks for listening to my speech and I hope you gained a little information from me today.
