she walks in beauty by Lord Byron

SHE walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that 's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

interpretation:
the poem is about a woman;he is in love of her.
for him is the most beutiful woman in the earth,
he adimred her for her neuty and because she has
a beutiful heart, she makes special every place.

A modest proposal for Mexico

Mexico is a country that have a lot of problems, including insecurity, poberty, overpopulation, etc

For me one the most important problem is the insecurity, my proposal in this subject is give to the drug dealers death penalty because they don't have mercy with the civilians, so why do we have it with them?
they kill inocent people in the streets, they don't dererve even to still alive, besides that Mexico has overpopulation in jails, that cost to much money for the taxpayers and that is nost just right.

we have to stp the insecurity and the terror that they cause to the country, is just not fair the fact that you can't go out at night or, thay you are not safe in your own house, they don't dereve to be called mexicans, they don't deserve to breath the same air of inocent people.

maybe this proposal is agressive but for me is the best solution, because you can't negotiate with these kind of people, so for me is the best decision that own goverment can make kill all of them without mercy.

literary analysis of beowulf

alliteration: The Hall of the Heart", "His pledge and promise", "Dragging the dead men home to his den", "Fitted and furnished", and "Showed sea-cliffs shining".

characters:Beowulf, Hygelac, Hrothgar,Wealhtheow, Hrothulf, Æschere,Unferth, Grendel, Grendel's mother,Wiglaf, Hildeburh

genre:narrative heroic poetry

imagery: The imagery in Beowulf consists mostly of alliteration and metaphor. Many apparent hyperboles describing the feats of Beowulf are not true hyperboles, since what appear to be exaggerations–such as a passage saying Beowulf swam from Sweden to Finland or a passage saying Beowulf had the strength of thirty–were intended to be taken literally. Kennings–compound expressions, often hyphenated, representing a single noun–occur often inBeowulf.
metaphor: Prince of the Weders", "The Son of Ecgtheow", "The Geatish hero", and "The Lord of
the Seamen". These kennings describe Beowulf to us in a more interesting
way than just stating the hard facts.

plot:

K ing Hrothgar of Denmark, a descendant of the great king Shield Sheafson, enjoys a prosperous and successful reign. He builds a great mead-hall, called Heorot, where his warriors can gather to drink, receive gifts from their lord, and listen to stories sung by the scops, or bards. But the jubilant noise from Heorot angers Grendel, a horrible demon who lives in the swamplands of Hrothgar’s kingdom. Grendel terrorizes the Danes every night, killing them and defeating their efforts to fight back. The Danes suffer many years of fear, danger, and death at the hands of Grendel. Eventually, however, a young Geatish warrior named Beowulf hears of Hrothgar’s plight. Inspired by the challenge, Beowulf sails to Denmark with a small company of men, determined to defeat Grendel. Hrothgar, who had once done a great favor for Beowulf’s father Ecgtheow, accepts Beowulf’s offer to fight Grendel and holds a feast in the hero’s honor. During the feast, an envious Dane named Unferth taunts Beowulf and accuses him of being unworthy of his reputation. Beowulf responds with a boastful description of some of his past accomplishments. His confidence cheers the Danish warriors, and the feast lasts merrily into the night. At last, however, Grendel arrives. Beowulf fights him unarmed, proving himself stronger than the demon, who is terrified. As Grendel struggles to escape, Beowulf tears the monster’s arm off. Mortally wounded, Grendel slinks back into the swamp to die. The severed arm is hung high in the mead-hall as a trophy of victory. Overjoyed, Hrothgar showers Beowulf with gifts and treasure at a feast in his honor. Songs are sung in praise of Beowulf, and the celebration lasts late into the night. But another threat is approaching. Grendel’s mother, a swamp-hag who lives in a desolate lake, comes to Heorot seeking revenge for her son’s death. She murders Aeschere, one of Hrothgar’s most trusted advisers, before slinking away. To avenge Aeschere’s death, the company travels to the murky swamp, where Beowulf dives into the water and fights Grendel’s mother in her underwater lair. He kills her with a sword forged for a giant, then, finding Grendel’s corpse, decapitates it and brings the head as a prize to Hrothgar. The Danish countryside is now purged of its treacherous monsters. The Danes are again overjoyed, and Beowulf’s fame spreads across the kingdom. Beowulf departs after a sorrowful goodbye to Hrothgar, who has treated him like a son. He returns to Geatland, where he and his men are reunited with their king and queen, Hygelac and Hygd, to whom Beowulf recounts his adventures in Denmark. Beowulf then hands over most of his treasure to Hygelac, who, in turn, rewards him. In time, Hygelac is killed in a war against the Shylfings, and, after Hygelac’s son dies, Beowulf ascends to the throne of the Geats. He rules wisely for fifty years, bringing prosperity to Geatland. When Beowulf is an old man, however, a thief disturbs a barrow, or mound, where a great dragon lies guarding a horde of treasure. Enraged, the dragon emerges from the barrow and begins unleashing fiery destruction upon the Geats. Sensing his own death approaching, Beowulf goes to fight the dragon. With the aid of Wiglaf, he succeeds in killing the beast, but at a heavy cost. The dragon bites Beowulf in the neck, and its fiery venom kills him moments after their encounter. The Geats fear that their enemies will attack them now that Beowulf is dead. According to Beowulf’s wishes, they burn their departed king’s body on a huge funeral pyre and then bury him with a massive treasure in a barrow overlooking the sea. point of view:The poet tells the tale in omniscient third-person point of view from a Christian perspective. Though describing events taking place in a pagan culture, the poet credits the Christian God and the Christian ethic for the triumph of good over evil. setting:Denmark and Sweden theme: The main theme of Beowulf is heroism. This involves far more than physical courage. It also means that the warrior must fulfil his obligations to the group of which he is a key member. author: unknown climax:Back home in Geatland, Beowulf must defend his people against a marauding dragon.Just when you think Beowulf is going to live happily ever after, he has to face his greatest challenge yet: a fifty-foot-long firebreather. If anything screams "climactic battle scene," it's the arrival of a dragon. conclusion: The Geats give Beowulf a splendid funeral and prepare to be attacked by their neighbors.Is anything more conclusive than a funeral? Beowulf is dead, and after mourning his death and celebrating his heroic deeds, the Geats look to the future. Of course, without his protection, it's a pretty bleak future.

The Nature of Theme

Remember that the theme of a work of literature is the comment that the author makes about his subject matter, a revelation about the behavior of human beings or the conduct of society; an insight into the human condition. Remember that the theme is the insight we gain from thinking about what we have read.

To determine the theme of a work of literature, first identify and be able to thoroughly describe the major elements of that work: plot characterizations point of view setting patterns, symbols, any recurring images In the case of science fiction, you must also be able to describe the elements of science and extrapolation from science present in the work and the relationship of the science to the work's plot. Come to a conclusion about the significance of each of these elements. Be sure you understand why every element in the work exists. Formulate a possible theme for the work and determine how the plot, characters, setting, science, and images support that theme, that insight into human nature. Review the activity you have chosen to write about in relationship to the working out of the theme of the work(s).

Allegory - narrative form in which the characters are representative of some larger humanistic trait and attempt to convey some larger lesson or meaning to life..

Imagery - the author’s attempt to create a mental picture in the mind of the reader though the most immediate forms of imagery are visual, strong and effective imagery can be used to invoke an emotional, sensational  or even physical response.

Figurative language - the use of words to express meaning beyond the literal meaning of the words themselves

Metaphor - contrasting to seemingly unalike things to enhance the meaning of a situation or theme without using like or as  

Simile - contrasting to seemingly unalike things to enhance the meaning of a situation or theme using like or as  

Hyperbole - exaggeration

Plot - the arrangement of ideas and/or incidents that make up a story and Symbolism - when an object is meant to be representative of something or an idea greater than the object itself.
