What is the setting for the poem "We Wear The Mask"?
here's the poem itself. "We wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,— This debt we pay to human guile; With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, And mouth with myriad subtleties. Why should the world be over-wise, In counting all our tears and sighs? Nay, let them only see us, while We wear the mask. We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries To thee from tortured souls arise. We sing, but oh the clay is vile Beneath our feet, and long the mile; But let the world dream otherwise, We wear the mask!" - Paul Laurence Dunbar Need help~ Also, what do you think is the intended audience?
What is the setting of the poem 'The Raven'?
In Poe the physical setting reflects the personality of the central character. The poem begins at midnight December, the last moment of the final month of the year, a time of death and decay. The dying fireplace embers reflect the gloomy atmosphere. The setting is claustrophobic–a single room. The narrator himself is Weak and weary, trapped in his richly furnished prison. He hopes for the morning, the return of light and life,but tonight all he can do is brood on his dead love. The narrator hears a mysterious tapping at his chamber door. He thinks at first it is a late night visitor, but opening the door, he finds only "Darkness there, and nothing more." This glimpse into black nothingness will prove prophetic. The tapping resumes–now at his window. The raven flutters in and perches on the bust of Pallas Athena, the classical goddess of wisdom. The imagery contains conflicting worlds of light and darkness. Every detail in the poem reflects one world or the other. Lenore is described as "radiant" epitomizing the world of light and angels. Other images of light include the white bust of Pallas and the lamplight in the chamber. The Raven brings large, powerful forces of darkness on this black December midnight. His shadow, the final image of the poem, demonstrates his power to darken the weak and dying light of the speaker's refuge. Very cool poem!

Happiness Quotes Quote #1 I wandered lonely as a cloud (line 1) Think of how this poem would sound if "lonely" were omitted. If you can describe a cloud as "lonely," then you could describe it as almost anything: happy, tired, bored, aimless, hopeful. Think about "I wandered hopeful as a cloud." Does that make any less sense? Well, in the context of the poem yes, but by itself, maybe not. "Lonely" seems to be necessary to make the contrast with the happiness of the daffodils. @ Read more http://www.shmoop.com/wandered-lonely-cl... Also http://www.sparknotes.com/poetry/wordswo... -

Think of who might be saying this, if they were just talking, and what would be that person’s emotion?Setting: Who is the narrator? Where is this person? How old is he or she? What do they do all day? Who is ‘nursie’? Why is that in the poem? Think about all the things that ‘shadow’ does? Why does that happen, in each case?
