Answer:

"The world is too much with us" by William Wordsworth

Explanation:

I chose “The world is too much with us” because when reading this poem reminds me of the importance of mindfulness and being present. Society today is moving as a fast pace, we are trying to reach “goals” society has set for us.

It has become what is expected to finish high school go to college, and get a job all by 25, and by the age 30 one should be married with children. If life does not go according to this timeline we find ourselves anxious and depressed. This poem reminds me that there is more to life, than what is deemed normal, there is a whole life going on around us waiting to be experienced.  

When I read the first line “The world is too much with us; late and soon”, the first thing that came to my mind was climate change. The human race has done so much damage to the environment, it, is crumbling under our feet. We take and take without thinking about the repercussions nor about the future race.

This poem makes me think and calms me all at once.

To what does rusell compare the soldiers?
grigory [225]

Answer:

The Soldier by Rupert Brooke and Dulce et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen were both written during world war one. War and death are the themes of both poems but they are written from different perspectives. Brooke seems to base his poem on myth because overall he says that it is good to die for your country while fighting at war is terrible and that it is every soldier for himself and not for your country.

  There are many reasons why Brooke and Owen have different attitudes to war. For example Brook wrote The Soldier at the beginning of the war but Owen wrote it in 1916. Brooks wrote his poem as someone who hasn't been at war and at this time people…show more content…

Owen also shows how the men feel and how they look. Take for example when Owen is describing in the final stanza the man which died from the earlier gas attack," Behind the wagon that we flung him in, And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin, If you could hear, at every dolt, the blood come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs. Bitter as the cud. Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues."

  In Brook's poem of The Soldier he uses his language softly to show the people at home that the war is good and that if people die there for their country they are looked upon as an honourable person. But in Owen's poem of Dulce et Decorum Est, it uses language harshly by using similes and metaphors to emphasise the misery he witnessed and the violence of war. Here are some examples," Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots of gas-shells dropping softly behind.", "His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin.", "My friend, you would not tell with such high zest to children ardent for some desperate glory, the old Lie: Duke et decorum est Pro parr/a man"

Describe a time when you set a goal for yourself and how you went about working toward its attainment. What was the goal? How di
igor_vitrenko [27]

During this year, one of my main goals was to change computers, since mine was showing malfunctions, besides being very old. However, my countries could not afford to pay for it, which means that this was a goal that I should be able to achieve alone. To achieve this, I started a search for part-time jobs, which would be difficult due to the moment we live in, but I will travel until I get a job as a website editor. I calculated how much I would earn for this job and set a deadline by which I would be able to buy the computer, if I added my salary money. I bought the computer in 3 months and my parents helped me to achieve my goal, although they did not help me with money, they helped me with the guidelines that I needed to write.

I am currently working on another goal. I would like to buy an apartment. I know this is going to be a long way, but I am looking forward to seeing how I will walk on it.
