The two major contrasts in Byron’s “She Walks in Beauty” are the descriptions of the woman as “night and day” and “dark and bright.” The use of contrast to describe someone beautiful, particularly a woman, appears to be unusual and unique. Not many people would see darkness as beautiful or look at the night as something alluring in itself. The attributes of darkness and night can only be seen at their best when they are contrasted with their opposites:  light and day.

A beautiful night would mean a night where stars grace the sky and when fireworks or blinking lights intrude the darkness. Moreover, light shines brightest in darkness. There is nothing that can be compared to the beauty of the sun rising in the East or its setting in the West, where day and night meet.

In the poem, beauty and its effect are exemplified in the way these images of darkness and light are juxtaposed. There is something absolute, pure and innocent in the deepest darkness mingled with the brightest light. As the reader sees the effect of these contrasting images in his mind, he can feel the intensity and dimension of the loveliness of the lady and her effect on the persona or observer. This poetic device of contrasting imagery has indeed accomplished its purpose. As evidence, this poem has stood the test of time and space. It has lingered and still affects the readers and literary enthusiasts of today even as the poet has long been gone.

Which of the following would help you use supporting details to draw conclusions?
vlada-n [284]

D. List all the supporting details from a story.

Sometimes, when analyzing text, it helps to immediately see the content being analyzed without having to search the work in order to find key points.  One of the ways in which this can be done is to create a list.  Thus, if one were trying to draw conclusions based upon evidence (or supporting details) from the text, a list with all of the details would be good tool to utilize because you would have the evidence instantly accessible and directly in front of you without the need to search though the text, which is inefficient.
