Conscience : H.D . Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau was born in July 12,1817 was an American auther,poet, philsopher, naturalist, critic, historian and transcendentalist.he is known for his book Walden and disobedience.thoreau studied at Harvard university between 1833 to11837.he was disciple famous philosopher called Emerson they are known as transcendentalist.they also known as American brahmins.they had also read  Indian holy book like upnishad & Geeta and other sculpture.they are against intutionalize Christianity .
In thus this poem concience stands for innersense and indirectly also ask questions
Do I have my own concience?

The poem is paradoxical it refers to the sin of Adam that he committed because he disobey the commandments of God but for Thoreau Adam's act is very important because he behave like human being listening to the voice of concience.poem again and again talks about significance of the innervoice.speaker speak himself the meaningful lines he she are
I love life whose plot is simple
And does not thicken with every
Here plot means the life itself which not at all straight and simple or rather smoother..And with this he has interwoven other stories.he also challanges'Bible'speaker clairyfy that life is harder than maths because there is no specific formula in life itself.
What he meant by pimple is problem which ocur in life.it also meant something unpleasant and unwanted.you like clear road.the questions he ask earlier is very rhetorical one which is highly or rather thoroughly philosophical in this poem he makes demands moreover he write.
I love an earnest soul
Whose mighty joy and sorrow
Are not drowned in a bowl
And it clarify hidden meaning that is about honesty which is very difficult to define. Honesty and concience are very wide form which can't be define in shorter span like bowl.which is very narrow and also says that man should not be narrow minded.we are happy because society is happy and we are unhappy because it's unhappy.
I love a soul not all of wood
Predestined to be good
But true to the backbone
Our life is full of do and don't, right and wrong similarly there is one other example of black and white what about grey third form.here he presents dilemma and says it is impossible.
Thoreau believes life is beyond logic.life is like Poem which can have multiple interpretation.

"By whom the work which God begun"
Then he does not capitalized it in the line
"If not good god.good devil"
And then again capitalized him in the line
" To cheer God along"
It is clearly shows that he does not favour God but rather satirizes him.

Major Theme

The major theme of the poem is
I want to be what I am
He says we are the piece of wood.god is craftsmen so we are just item . In short we are merely a wouden soul who are predestinated to be good.so human beings are mere actors.thoreau comes to the conclusion that one's soul must be true to one.this poem also reminds of jayanta mahapatra 's poem 'mising' in which he questions himself by saying
Where I am
Loneliness is important to know who you are.in the poem question is asked not to be answered .We are helpless creature.we are living like cropses.thoreau talks about the freedom in which one can think about answer of what I am.
Conclusion
The poe. Conclude by saying that person should follows the commandments of concience and live happily .The line emphasis this message
"Live your life,do your work than take your hat"
Lastly Thoreau put his message in clear words and it is again paradoxical.
"Whether to worship or to scoff
If not good why then evil
If not good god .Good devil"

The story begins with the description of setting. Boys feel very emotionless about where he lives and how his neighbours appears. As we quickly introduced mangan's sister something that put a smile on the boys face.

He says her dress swungs as she moved her body and the soft rope of her hair tossed from side to side. We know that it is nothing more than his hormonal instincts because we learn that he had never spoken to her before and has no idea what kind of person she is.he says my body was like harp and her words and gesture were like figures running upon the wires. The boy is physically attracted to her and does not know how to respond.

During their first conversation girl asked him if he was going to Araby? But he forgets  what he answered because at that time it is not important. Here also depicted his journey to Araby . He still hates all the things about community in which he lives. After intolerable delay , on the train he finally arrives at the building which contains "magical name" of "Araby"

He notes nearly all the stalls were closed  . Everywhere in the darkness. He describes experience of one stalls when younf lady approached him.stall are seemed to be dark and foreign.

The ending paragraph of the moral point of "Araby" .After talking to the lady ,the lights go out entire hall goes dark. He finally arrived argued with his uncle.the boy in the dark .He hide the dark and he lives in the dark. Joyce uses darkness to represent the boys home.

To the indians who died in south Africa: by T.S.Eliot

The British had colonial interstate on Russia in order to safe guard her interest.the war against Russian called Boer war during this time India was already a colony of Britain and therefore had to fight on behalf of the britishers. This is the reason why Indian soldier goes to Africa with britishers to fight.
A man naturally yearns to be at his home if he working in another country.he keeps on looking forward to returning to hi home. He wishes to sit at his door peacefully enjoying the sunset and watch her grandson playing with neighbour's children in the dust infront of the house. This feeling share of a soldier after the war is over.
the soldier was lucky enough to survive the war through he wore many scar on his body from the Battelle. The memories of the war am his comrades from the another country.who were fighting from their homeland. There remembrance crowd in his psyche whenever he sits and talks apeople irrespective of the climate being cool or warm in his country. It is true that men he met in foreign place were foreigners but they were not aliens in the sense that they shared common purposed of fighting against enemy.
"A man's destination is not destiny".
A soldier may not stay in his country or die there. His fate may take him away to fight a bettle in a far off land.a land which is home to one is exile to another. However the country where the soldier lays down his life. While fighting, turns into his homeland where as the land of his birth become a foreign land for him.

While thinking of the dead Indian soldier.it occurs to poet that Africa where the Indians  and British soldiers came to engage in a battle. Belonged to neither of them  some of the English soldier come from the Midland in England. Some of Indians belonged to the land of the five river but those among them who were killed in war will bury in the same graveyard so far away from their native country.
It is only the soldier who return alive from the war will narrate a great saga of their dead comradders to their brother when they reach home.the sublime sacrifice that they made in foreign land for a common cause, will Kindle the same great spirit in other men in the years to come hopes the poet   we must realize that selfless action never goes without its own rewarded.

Nightingale and roes: by oscar wild

The story. Is about nightingale who sacrifices herself for boy's love but he was unable to appreciate it.

Setting

The Bush is placed directly underneath. The student's window. This is significant because it reflects on how the young student doesn't. Appreciate what he can see.

Symbolism : Red Rose

The student is in love with the professors. Daughter and needs one red rose in order to dance with her. The ref rose symbolizes true,pure. And passionate love.he only knew that the things that are written down in books how is this symbolic? Suggesting he knows nothing of love just plain knowledge that can be learnt through. Reading in books not experiencing in life.

Repetition

When nightingale hears what the boys wants she says "here at last is a true lover" and "here indeed is the true lover ".
"All night long she sang"
It emphasis the pain of nightingale went through for a nightingale for a rose. It emphasize how long it the nightingale had to sing.

Simile

"Passion has made it's face like pale ivory"
This reveals how much love he has for the lady. The nightingale later on in the story turns 'pale ivory' because of the passion it has for the man.
"As white as the foam of the sea"
It gives visual imagery to the reader emphasizing how it is the opposite colour if red.

irony

"What is the heart of a bird
Compared to the heart of man"
The heart of bird is much wiser than the heart of student. Bird is sacrificed itself to rose for a student where as the student simply gave up on what he thought was love.
Student looked up from the grass and listened but he could not understand what the nightingale was saying to him. He only knew the things that are written down in the books.this is contrast nightingale sacrifice himself for one red rose. When the student does not understand.intact nightingale is true lover not the student.

'So he returned to his room and pulled out a great dusty book and began to read '
A green dusty book suggests how he rather avoids something such a impractical. Nightingale give her life to make a rose but it is not importance in students heart.

Tone

Asked,said,whispered, the green lizard,butterfly and daisy ask why the young student crying. Tone is very softer and more silent.  The young student "weep" it makes a lighter and airy atmosphere.

Sibilance

Nightingale understood the secret of the student sorrow and she sat silent in the oak tree and thought about the mystery of love

Personification

"The trees shook it's head"
It symbolizes as a genital reaction this action repeated through many trees.

Oxymoronic ideas

"Love is perfected by death"
This contrast with how the student thinks as he beloved that he is able to buy love of the lady. This also suggest love requires sacrificed.

Synthetic parallelism

'She swept over the garden like a shadow and like a shadow she said through the grove'
The symbolism​ of shadow suggests how the nightingale is a ways in the dark and student couldn't see the amount of sacrifice.

imagery
He threw the rose into the street where it feel into the gutter and cart wheel went over it. This emphasis the waste of the sacrifice of nightingale. Student does not know sacrificed that is made for the rose to blossom.

Themes

Wealth and class

The girl was materialistic and her love is measured in terms of wealth. The chamberlain's nephew has sent some real jewels .and everybody knows that real jewels cost far more than flowers .lover is determined by class: "after all who are you"? Only student...

Love

Love is fickle. The student quickly changed his mind after he realised he could not provide girl with what she wanted.  Love become insignificant and useless just kike rose that fell into gutter logic is more important . What a silly thing love is? The student goes back to studying philosophy and study metaphysic.

Light : by F.W.Bourbillon

This poem is fairly simple in terms of time and diction.however in terms of its theme it is a touch philosophical.

In the first stanza poet take darkness and light giving example of nature. He says that the eyes of the night are over powered by the brightness of sun, and similarly they over power sun when it dies (sets).

The second stanza talks about the thought process .then goes into one's mind  but true love is always singular in  thought and as a result is immortal. Here the poet talks about the emotion that have ended because of adverse separateness.

The heart is the representative of multiple emotion and  specially when love is lost the whole world around that individual dies. In a way this poem is a reflection of human thought and the loaf nature.
