Is this a big essay? if it is, Talk to your professor to try to extend deadline...at least for you. as for the essay, try asking your library, ask them for any sources that will help you in that area, and also your history professor as well your English professor.

I'm glad you asked that, not because I have the answer but because me and my daughter, well . . . me anyways, are reading Moby Dick, and I never remembered it being so detailed on Cetology or in the beginning of the novel before he meets Queequeg.   Maybe I cheated back in my highschool or junior high days and got the Cliff Notes, but I coulda swore I read the book.  Oh well, that's been many decades ago.  I just got past the part where Captain Ahab kicked Stubb (First Mate isn't he??) and Stubb had the dream where someone asks him why is it so bad to be kicked by Ahab since his leg is made of ivory,etc..  My daughter, who lives with her mother about 65 miles southeast of me, probably hasn't read one word of it since she's a lot like her mother, who didn't like to read.  I read "Uncle Tom's Cabin" to her when she was pregnant with either our son or daughter, I can't remember which.  She liked to be read to but wouldn't do it herself, so, I doubt my daughter has read any of "Moby Dick" since she hasn't said anything about it.  Oh well, I'm rambling on.  Sorry.  Maybe I'll continue the book, but the Cetology part is way too detailed and "informational" for me.  I want more "action", and am becoming too addicted to the brainless tv, and too lazy to read fine novels.  I hope you finish the book.  It's a wonderful piece of literature.  God Bless you.

Try "The Poet" and "The Poet's Mind" by Lord Alfred Tennyson.  One is funny and bright while the other is dark and dismal.  Good luck!

You need to narrow this down. What age/grade are you? What have you been reading for class?\nShakespeare?\n20th Century Plays?\nAmerican authors?\n\nNarrow it down some and you'll get better answers.

I've looked at your links.  \n\nI'd recommend you work on your format and delivery.  It is just too much work to try to sort through it all and figure out just who did what to whom, and why.  Your pages are packed with your feelings about what happened, but there's not a lot of detail about what that was. \n\nWhy not find a writer to try to turn it into a novel?  If you did that, someone might actually be able to understand what you're talking about without deciding to devote a number of hours to deciphering paragraphs that seem to be written with the presumption that the reader knows who any of these people are in the first place. \n\nI mean that in the nicest way.  Obviously you want the world to understand, but the fact is that your links don't further that objective.

Her opening sentence/paragraph should be about what her paper is about. Email me and I can help--I'm an English teacher.

Wow, I love searching for answers on questions like this- this is a tough one!\n\nThis was the ONLY thing I could find, a comment someone wrote...\n\nIt could be a man controlling her life--her father, Wadsworth, Higginson?--but it makes more sense to identify the "He" and "Whom" with god. The belt is some kind of sign of office, the one who puts the belt on the speaker is a "Duke" with "imperial" stature. Once belted, the speaker becomes a member of the elite and ethereal "Cloud." (If you wanted to you could read this a some kind of kinky bondage thing--The Story of E--but that would be inappropriate and less than tactful.)\n\nWith the second eight lines in place, I see the poem as a wry and witty, even slightly rueful, comment on ED's famous reclusivity. There might not have been a train she wouldn't take as it lapped up its miles, but in fact she did take very few, and she did care where they were going!\n\nAnd of course, like most of ED's other poems, you can sing it to the tune of "The Yellow Rose of Texas" or "Amazing Grace," or any other song in psalm meter.\n\nCiarog from United States \n\n\nAlternatively, I guess maybe background on Dickinson's usual themes might help?\n\nEmily Dickinson is such a unique poet that it is very difficult to place her in any single tradition—she seems to come from everywhere and nowhere at once. Her poetic form, with her customary four-line stanzas, ABCB rhyme schemes, and alternations in iambic meter between tetrameter and trimeter, is derived from Psalms and Protestant hymns, but Dickinson so thoroughly appropriates the forms—interposing her own long, rhythmic dashes designed to interrupt the meter and indicate short pauses—that the resemblance seems quite faint. Her subjects are often parts of the topography of her own psyche; she explores her own feelings with painstaking and often painful honesty but never loses sight of their universal poetic application; one of her greatest techniques is to write about the particulars of her own emotions in a kind of universal homiletic or adage-like tone (“After great pain, a formal feeling comes”) that seems to describe the reader’s mind as well as it does the poet’s. Dickinson is not a “philosophical poet”; unlike Wordsworth or Yeats, she makes no effort to organize her thoughts and feelings into a coherent, unified worldview. Rather, her poems simply record thoughts and feelings experienced naturally over the course of a lifetime devoted to reflection and creativity: the powerful mind represented in these records is by turns astonishing, compelling, moving, and thought-provoking, and emerges much more vividly than if Dickinson had orchestrated her work according to a preconceived philosophical system.\nOf course, Dickinson’s greatest achievement as a poet of inwardness is her brilliant, diamond-hard language. Dickinson often writes aphoristically, meaning that she compresses a great deal of meaning into a very small number of words. This can make her poems hard to understand on a first reading, but when their meaning does unveil itself, it often explodes in the mind all at once, and lines that seemed baffling can become intensely and unforgettably clear. Other poems—many of her most famous, in fact—are much less difficult to understand, and they exhibit her extraordinary powers of observation and description. Dickinson’s imagination can lead her into very peculiar territory—some of her most famous poems are bizarre death-fantasies and astonishing metaphorical conceits—but she is equally deft in her navigation of the domestic, writing beautiful nature-lyrics alongside her wild flights of imagination and often combining the two with great facility.\n\nTo be perfectly honest, I think your best bet is to borrow a book from the library with criticism...\nAll the best, hope that helps somehow!

A good site that covers lots of works by different authors, it includes, Themes, Character analysis, and explains every thing that you are ever going to need to answer literature questions.\n\nhttp://sparknotes.com/literature...\n\nType in the title of the book and navigate around until you find what you need.\n\nGood luck. Below, is another very useful site for you.\n\n\nhttp://www.askoxford.com/asktheexperts.....

That's only 2 sentences. It's not a paragraph.  Try something different like...   Vera is a self-possessed young lady.  She is perfectly poised and sure of herself.  Being capable of thinking quickly on her own two feet is one of her best qualities.  Creating a dramatic situation using very simple elements helps her in many situations.     That's all I can help you with, with the information you've given.  You need one more sentence.  Think of another way to describe her and you're all set.

Better yet, why don't you try reading them yourself and offering your own insights. If you keep relying on websites to do the work for you, you will NEVER learn how to analyze a poem or story yourself!!\n\nBy the way, your teacher is to be commended for having you read some excellent literature and by doing so requiring you to THINK!! Don't disappoint him or her. Do the work yourself!!
