      I think that Langston Hughes was relecting on the plight of African Americans in this poem .

      Hughes describes the hardships of African Americans but at the same time expresses the strength that they have as they laugh, eat and grow strong. The future is reflected with words such as "Tommorow" and "Then."

      I always picture Walt Whitman reading his poem, then Langston Hughes reading his answer, and the Sojourner Truth rising to read, "Ain't I a Woman?" Kind of a readers' theater setting. :)

      The world around him does not stop even though he has.
  • The woods are lovely, dark, and deep. But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep,

      stops for a peaceful and serene moment but life beckons and the moment can only last so long.

      These last four lines are my favorite poetry ever. Every time I read this stanza, I feel the emotion as fresh as I did the first time. The fanciful longing to linger over something as simple and beautiful as snow falling on woods is so evocative, and yet "the real world" interrupts every time. It's such a melancholy sentiment, and yet one that is so frequent.
  • He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow.
    • Alex Papson
      Alex Papson on 18 Nov 10
       
      Slows down from life to enjoy the world around him.

  • Yes! We fund our Ph.D. Students! All Ph.D. students in the School of Information are guaranteed four years of funding, provided they are making satisfactory progress towards their degree. This includes tuition and stipend for four fall and winter terms, and year-round health benefits; it also includes a stipend for two summer terms. Additional funding may be available. We also encourage our students to bring in outside funding. If, for instance, you come to SI with a fellowship that pays for your stipend, we would give you an "incentive" of 10% of the amount we save by not paying for your stipend. We would still pay for your tuition and health benefits. Sue

      The subject is hope and the bird metaphor is only defining hope.

      Dickinson defines hope by comparing it to a bird (a metaphor).

      Dickinson defines hope by using a metaphor - she compares it to a bird.
  • Yet, never, in extremity, It asked a crumb of me.

      Even in the most critical circumstances the bird never asked for a reward in return for its support.

      Every time I read this part of this poem, it reminds me forcibly that students have hearts, and they have minds, and our responsibility as teachers goes so far beyond what we can imagine when it comes to protecting and nurturing those hearts and minds.

      This is a great source for teaching poetry to children that have a hard time grasping the concept of poetry at first glance. Personalizing it- making connections verbally as well as through illustrations makes all the difference.

      I was exposed to this -after- seeing the Rudolph cartoon, and remember thinking that it was a huge difference from the larger reindeers in that cartoon!

Midnight Eye review: Yukoku (1966) - 0 views

  • No doubt this was due to the parallels to Mishima's own suicide in 1970, the circumstances of which were remarkably similar to the events portrayed in the film
    • kirkengaard
      kirkengaard on 21 Nov 11
       
      It is often theorized that Mishima used the film as a rehearsal for his later suicide.
  • Based on Mishima's own novel of the same name, which was in turn inspired by the true events of 'Ni ni roku' - a failed, patriotically-motivated, attempted coup by a group of officers on February 26, 1936 - Yukoku deals with the ritual suicide of high-ranking naval officer Takeyama.
  • Shot in black and white, silent with long expository intertitles elaborating on the goings-on and detailing the historical background of the story, Mishima (who performed the lead part, wrote, directed and produced) visually references Noh theatre.

    My favorite Frost poem. It's required for our students, but I often wish they would more deeply realize how much it points to their own lives, and the decisions they make.
  • Mindy Worman on 23 Nov 10
     
    Although it's a well known poem, I simply had to use this particular Frost poem. It speaks to my soul. Who hasn't made decisions in life, wondering even at the time what the end result would be?
