What is the RTC and summary of this poem 'The Blind Boy'. Thanks:) The poem is given below.?
I would give you the RTC, or at least try, if I knew what it stood for. RTC is an acronym if in poetry am not familiar with. Colley Cibber was quite a character during his life as an artist and is most known for his plays, though nothing of his really took off in contemporatry art, he's well known enough to be known about. This poem, iambic written in Common Meter, mixed and alternating iambic tetrameter and trimeter, in my opinion is quite good, though he does use some poetic contractions to meet his prosody. This poem reminds me of the song "Lonely Boy" written some time ago, but one of my favorite and meaningful songs of all time. The poem does have a confusing element to it: it is written in both 1st and 2nd person Here, I do not think 'you' in in reference to himself, the blind boy, or protagonist. Perhaps the parent or so called friend. S1 = light of light is offered and unknown to the blind boy. The addendum I have is what is the "Light" capitalized in first line. A Dietry? Or the light of day which he will never see? S2 = he does not understand the concept of the warming sun keeping the person he feels warm S3 = His days are the same as night, never changes so he knows not when time to slumber or wake. S4 = By not seeing it is easier for him to bear losses S5 = Yes, he seems to understand the things he cannot have, namely, his eye sight, so his coping mechanism is that he has built himself up to be of kingly nature and chose to keep out of his mind the things that he cannot have, that although a poor blind boy, he is also a rich, wise king. Very good meter and rhyme pattern, good story as well.
How do you write a summary of a poem?
Well, depending on what your professor asks for, there are three aspects of poetry that might need to be summarized:Describe the type, form, or style of the poem: ballad, epic, haiku, free verse, etc. Describe the format of lines — rhyming/unrhyming, type of meter, length, refrain, stanzas, etc.Explain the literary (poetic) techniques used to create the mood or ‘feeling’ of the poem — rhythm, word choice (sound of the words), metaphor, alliteration, personification, imagery, allusion, etc.Interpretation of the actual verse (the words/lyrics). What meaning and feeling does the poem impart? What is the message (hope, despair, longing, fear, admiration, beauty/awe, etc.) How does the poet use special words, rhymes, images to convey the meaning? Does one thing represent another?In the poem clip below, you can almost hear the ‘roar’ and see the ‘anger’ of the coming sea storm. The repeated ‘s’ sounds (alliteration) create the sound pattern… and the rich words ‘paint an image’ of the ravaging winds and rain. The lines are ‘heavy’ with words that represent the weight and surge of things to come.Hatteras Calling by Conrad AikenSoutheast, and storm, and every weathervane shivers and moans upon its dripping pin, ragged on chimneys the cloud whips, the rain howls at the flues and windows to get in, the golden rooster claps his golden wings and from the Baptist Chapel shrieks no more, the golden arrow in the southeast sings and hears on the roof the Atlantic Ocean roar.
What Is The Summary Of The Poem Travel By R.l.stevenson?
The poet likes to travel many places around the world. He first likes to visit the place where golden apples grow and also the Parrot Islands in Brazil where there are more birds and parrots live. Here he also uses the phrase anchored lie to stress that the island is full of flora and fauna. He also says that the place is visited by cockatoos which are large parrots native to Australia, Indonesia and south pacific islands and goats of North America. He also adds that the lonely island has many Crusoe s building boats. In other words he says he would like to see Crusoe s lonely islands. He likes to visit eastern countries which are popular for mosques and minarets among the sandy deserts. He would like to visit the bazaars there, that is full of rich goods from far and near. The poet also likes to travel to the great wall of china which has the desert on one side and the cities on the other side with the voices of people, bell and drum. He also likes to travel to England and visit forests, hot and wide places with tall buildings as spire. He also likes to travel to River Nile where he can find crocodiles, red flamingo, man devouring tigers in the nearby jungles, the sight of hunting other animals. finally the poet likes to visit the desert with a camel caravan along in the evening to the ancient mysterious, dark and strange lands where there are no traces of living beings. At the end he reaches the house and lights the dark in the dark dining room where he finds the pictures of great heroes, fights and festivals and also finds some old Egyptian toys which means he finally arrives to Egypt.
Summary of Poem Questions?
I am only in grade 12 and no English master, but I do love English and I'll try and give you a worthy answer. Summary: 'Questions' suggests that it is impossible to change the past. Once something has occurred, it cannot go back to the way it previously was. The first five stanzas show examples of how changing the past is impossible by using phenomena within nature. The sixth and last stanza than refers these obviously impossible events to human failures such as speaking hastily and being unkind to show that these are also impossible to reverse. Just a note before I attempt paraphrasing (I've never really done this in school): the way this poem is written doesn't seem to require paraphrasing. It's fairly straightforward, other than some of the expressions that would no longer be used today. I just thought I'd mention that. Paraphrasing Stanza 1: Can you put back together a ruined spider-web? Can you pick up an apple that had fallen off the ground and put it back onto the tree? Stanza 2: Can you put the flower of a lily back onto the plant so it will continue to grow? If you accidentally hurt the wing of a butterfly, could it be mended? Stanza 3: Can you put back the coating on a grape and then reattach the grape to the vine? Can dewdrops be put back on flowers and caused to glimmer? Stanza 4: Can petals be put back together to form a rose and would it be the same as it was? Can you turn flour into wheat again? Stanza 5: Can a nut be put back within its shell? Can a broken egg be returned to the way it was? Can honey be poured into honeycombs and made the same way it is left by bees? Stanza 6: If you think my questions are confusing, let me ask some more. Can something that has already been said, be unsaid? Can anything that has been done, be undone? I hope this is what you were after - I gave it my best shot. It's a beautiful poem by the way.
What is your view on the Poem If by Rudyard Kipling?
My view is that the poet is trying to stimulate his male readers into following the Golden Rule, or how to be a debonair gentleman of society, while not losing the common touch. A sense of aiming high, yet not losing one's balance just walking along life's journey. So at whatever point the readers are, they are the ones to respond, as if nodding agreement or saying, 'That makes sense!' or 'I'd like to be like that...'Saint Paul told Christian believers to imitate him as he imitated Christ.A similar theme would be that question, 'What would Jesus do?'In previous decades, a man gaining a foothold in society wouldn't dress in rags. He would set aside money to appear to fit in with his affluent peers. Even so, we know of rags to riches stories and it doesn't bode well to lose humanity as well as humility.To see one's own failures as not the end of a story but an end of a chapter is easier when the tragedy isn't as tragic as others have experienced. So many will have a list of grief experiences they can't or won't overcome, while others shrug these off and persevere. It's an evangelistic list of attitudes being employed to get things going again, just like battles don't end wars, but decision makers do. Deciding to draw a line under some incident switches readers back to the here and now and thus to the future yet to be. It's known that we gain experiences by copying others, their poise, their humour, their dignity or their care-free responses as survival tactics.The poem isn't really about becoming a man, it's about being a man... yet even more, it's about being a great man, not just a gentleman, or a temporary hero of days or years gone by. It's that part of a man that's seeks the better part, the better service, the desire that makes us want to please our family and friends. Switch it around to a daughter being a woman and the poem wouldn't have the same effect at all. Society saw a man as a breadwinner while the woman was a homemaker. She would be expected to govern the household, maintain order, while her husband supplied food for the table and every other thing a man could work or strive for to create the betterment of each family member.So it's no wonder that a father would advise his son to make the time and take the care to achieve all that he could or was meant to. There's a sense of destiny that stimulates each reader. It's like saying, 'You can do this... IF...'
What is the summary of the poem Rime of the Ancient Mariner?
This poem can be summed up in one line:Crime and Punishment! The nature or the divine authority does the perfect justice to the human and other beings on the earth. Now, the summary of the poem is:It starts with the old mariner who stops one of the guests came to attend the wedding. He narrates his story of the voyage that he had. Their boat comes across an Albatross who starts visiting their ship regularly. The mariner and others on the boat feed it and love it. One day, the mariner kills the Albatross (almost out of nowhere!). However, some days later, the scene changes completely. The sea becomes horrible and the Sun appears to be a demon. With time, everything on their boat lasts and they are left to starve. Eventually, everyone on the boat except the 'ancient mariner' dies. Moreover, the Albatross he killed is wrapped around his neck. He has a great remorse for the sin he committed and he regrets. Ghost, horror, fear... everything you find in between. One sudden day, the mariner sees some snakes in the sea. He blesses them and shows his love to them. From that very moment, there comes a change in the scene. Everything that was turned into a nightmare for the mariner gets restored to the original position. At last, the Albatross too falls off from the mariner's neck. He comes a shore and learns a great lesson in the form of:"He prayeth best, who loveth bestAll things both great and small;For the dear God who loveth us,He made and loveth all." Hope it serves some portion of your purpose.

What is a good analysis of the poem "Alone" by Edgar Allan Poe?
The poem “Alone” by Edgar Allan Poe was not published during his lifetime. It was not until 1875 that the poem was verified as being an authentic Poe poem written in 1830 when Poe was only twenty-one.The poem is basically a flashback of an adult narrator looking back at his childhood. The tone of the poem is gloomy and dark, reinforced by such words as sorrow, alone, stormy, thunder, and demon.Poe speaks about his uniqueness. Unfortunately, he was never able to fit in and found himself melancholy throughout his childhood. In his relationships, he was often left out. The purpose of the poem is psychologically sound if it is true that it helps to write out what the person feels is wrong in his life. Whether it helped Poe or not, the reader is better able to understand the mystery of why Poe was miserable in his life and he wrote about the subject of loss and unhappiness.
