My Haiku

In the Forest 

by: Ena Gavranovic 

"A small lake in the forest

Ducks floating on the surface

The sun is shining"

This poem, also known as a haiku, is about a nice spring day in the forest and what goes on in it. This haiku also represents/symbolises happiness and joy. In the Forest uses symbolism because it symbolises a lovely spring day because in the spring time, newborns are brought to the planet and in the animal world their parents usually teach them their ways. For example mother ducks take their ducklings to a lake or pond and teach them how to swim. In the Forest mostly uses sight imagery to help the reader clearly see that the writer wanted them to see. 

Characters

Character:
-man vs man
-man vs himself
-man vs nature
-man vs technology
-man vs society

2 kinds of characters:
-Flat =caricature    1 over-the-top characteristics
           archetype    2-3 characteristics
-Round

In the book The Land Lady, Billy finds the lady to be a caricature because she's crazy old lady but we the readers find her to be a archetype because at the end we find out that she is a cold-hearted killer that stuffs her costumers.

Billy is POLITE/HONEST, TRUSTING, CURIOUS, NAIVE.

Gelable: when someone tries to sell something silly to a person and they buy it

Land Lady: PICKY, FAKE, SECRETIVE, SWEET, MANIPULATIVE.

Analogy: The land lady is to Billy as a spider is to fly.

Both of these characters are ROUND characters.

When a character changes = A GROWING CHARACTER

The change comes as a result of CONFLICT

Symbolic poem by: Kim van Breda

CAGES trapped in apparent spaces power extinguished bird in a forgotten tree building cages safety nests apparent circumstances placing bets on novel lives sunken and clean stuck in barb wire snares itch itch itch the language is obscene headbound in freakish Atlantic sea

This poet uses a lot of:

-symbolism

-onomatopoeia

In her poem.

Imagist Poem

The Woods that Bring the Sunset Near

The wind from out of the west is blowing
The homeward-wandering cows are lowing,
Dark grow the pine woods, dark and drear, --
The woods that bring the sunset near.

When o'er wide seas the sun declines,
Far off its fading glory shines,
Far off, sublime, and full of fear --
The pine woods bring the sunset near.

This house that looks to east, to west,
This dear one, is our home, our rest;
Yonder the stormy sea, and here
The woods that bring the sunset near.


This poet uses a lot of:
-metaphorical

-imagery

-alliteration

-rhymes
-personification

The Road Not Taken by: Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, 

And sorry I could not travel both 

And be one traveler, long I stood 

And looked down one as far as I could 

To where it bent in the undergrowth; 

Then took the other, as just as fair, 

And having perhaps the better claim, 

Because it was grassy and wanted wear; 

Though as for that the passing there 

Had worn them really about the same, 

And both that morning equally lay 

In leaves no step had trodden black. 

Oh, I kept the first for another day! 

Yet knowing how way leads on to way, 

I doubted if I should ever come back. 

I shall be telling this with a sigh 

Somewhere ages and ages hence: 

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— 

I took the one less traveled by, 

And that has made all the difference.

Conflict(s):
Man vs Himself  The half a credit that the guy gives Ray symbolises that she gets very little.

                                                        Lightsaver is a symbol
