Comments On This Be The Verse
Words: 1293 - Pages: 5.... how this poem, which at first glance seems to be written only to amuse, really has a much deeper meaning. I will examine the poem in several parts. First, I would like to examine the use of curse words in the poem, or why other words that would be considered more acceptable to the general public were not used. Then, I will discuss the three stanzas of the poem and what they were meant to do for the audience. Lastly, I will explore why Larkin would write such a poem, and what he was trying to get across to his audience by writing it.

To Kill A Mocking Bird
Words: 1079 - Pages: 4.... going to a white court. I thoght it was nice of him to help her and for free considering she was white and he was black. Most blacks hated whites in those times.

quotes many different scriptures in a conversation with Pertelote,
such as, Saint Kenelm, Daniel and Joseph (from the bible), and
Croesus. From each author he tells a story about an individual who had
a vision in a dream and the dream came true. He may have been making
all the stories up in order to win the argument with Pertelote, but,
this seems unlikely because he does not take heed to his own advice
and stay away from the fox that encounters him later. He is educated
enough to know these supposed quotations but not intelligent enough to
understand the real meaning of them. .....

This negative light that the ruthless use of capital punishment casts upon the rulers of France is exactly what Dickens had intended.
When the revolution actually takes place, the Jacques become drunk with bloodlust. Their methods of restoring order and peace are exactly the same as those they opposed: send anyone to the guillotine who disagrees with them. "They are murdering .....

One would believe that the music Herot was playing is not what he wanted to listen to during to his life in the marshes.

He shows himself to be a strict puritan and this is also suggested by the opinion of Maria "The devil a puritan that he is". He denies himself indulgences and pleasure whilst at the same time begrudging these things of others.

This in turn adds to their desire to .....
