Ode to a large tuna in the market

Now Dead!
The author Pablo Nerudo uses lots of interesting ways to explain ode to a large tuna in the market. He mainly uses juxtaposition between life and death. Metaphors and similes such as, "torpedo (...) missile that swam" and "Sappy as a sprung fir"  show how alive the fish was and are juxtaposed with metaphors and imagery of death. One of the most powerful metaphors used is that of the torpedo.

Torpedo of the Ocean!
Because the tuna is really fast and graceful, the motion of it is represented by weaponry used in army, "Torpedo, Missile that swam". Right next to it, a juxtaposition is placed, explaining that the once torpedo is now "Lying in front of me Dead". Because this poem uses lots of juxtaposition, there are more of these examples.

Sea-quake!
"Ode to a large Tuna in the Market" uses lots of metaphor, one of which is describing the motion of the fish, "Tidal Wave" which shows that the fish was constantly moving, like a tidal wave, because tidal waves don't stop and keep going, and then it's positioned next to "Dead Remains" which shows that after the whole fast movement and graceful swimming, it is NOW just dead, insignificant pieces. Also "Tidal Wave" show how full of life it was, just like a sprung fir.


Catafalque King
In the poem there is also a age difference, young and old. The meaning of childhood and happiness is represented by "Sappy as a sprung fir", because a sprung fir of green turmoil stands for happiness and young age, while "Dead, catafalque king" means that an old and dead king of the ocean is NOW lying dead, catafalque between all the other insignificant vegetables. The author also used "Sprung fir" as a reference to how perfect the fish is, just like a well-oiled ship of the wind.

Ship of the Wind!
The creator of this poem also used an other metaphor, "Well-oiled Ship of the Wind" to represent the perfection of the fish, that it swam swiftly in the sea, and lived a perfect life without any problems in it's life, and even after death, the tuna is "Navigating the Waters of Death" perfectly like in it's previous life, no flaws. NOW again swimming happily.

NOW and THEN
"Now" is very efficient when using along a juxtaposition, that's why Pablo Nerudo uses "now" before most of the juxtapositions "NOW simply dead remains (...) Navigating NOW the waters of death" to remind us that how the fish WAS swimming and how full of life the fish WAS, NOW it's just dead in the market. Using "now" gives the poem a feeling that makes us sorry for the fish even more.

My Chosen Stanza

The dour man does for himself. Before him,
Half lost, his small possessions swim
Cast off, random
They nose and nudge the porthole glass like floatsam.

In the last stanza it explains that The man is really poor because "half lost" and "cast off" mean that there is more water then anything else in the washing machine. "Small" also shows that he does not have a lot of "possessions", or clothes. The man is dour because he is poor. The last stanza symbolizes sadness.

It was raining outside, thunders and lightning. Loud inside and loud outside.
These peanuts are making me thirsty?!
Everyone at the party was confused, scared and no one knew what to do next!

Swoosh, swoosh, the snow was thrown everywhere around. Jumping over obstacles, while the sun shined over him. The powder was untouched and no one but him was there.
This is amazing!!!!!!!!!

Poem

The Woods that Bring the Sunset Near

The wind from out of the west is blowing
The homeward-wandering cows are lowing,
Dark grow the pine woods, dark and drear, --
The woods that bring the sunset near.

When o'er wide seas the sun declines,
Far off its fading glory shines,
Far off, sublime, and full of fear --
The pine woods bring the sunset near.

This house that looks to east, to west,
This dear one, is our home, our rest;
Yonder the stormy sea, and here
The woods that bring the sunset 

I am an eagle

As father gave the push, my mother whispered, “Fly, my child!”
Resplendent in my feathers, yet was frightened of the wild
unknown for that where I grew up, I had to leave and find
the reason for my wings and claws, and how I can’t be mild. 

The rush of warm wind cushioned me as I took my first flight,
majestic bird who gracefully flew to such soaring heights.
From that day on I fed myself and did my parents proud
for they have taught me not to let the prey escape my sight.

For forty years I roamed the land and soared over the sea,

but then the time had come to make the choice that’s hard for me.
Up on the steepest rocky mount, I went and by my own
removed my brittle beak, talons, and old wings painfully.

Why did I have to go through all the changes and the pain?
Those parts were worn and have become my weakness and my bane.
So now that God has given me another thirty years,
behold me after my rebirth, the eagle soars again! 

"The Eagle soars again!" The poem is about An Eagle who is let free, and learns how to fly and take care of itself. It symbolises the real life and the choices made in life. The eagle is pernificated in the aspects that at the beginning it lives with its family, like a child, and then it must learn how to fly and take care of itself, like a child who is growing up and needs to get a job and live on its own money, and then after a long time of doing this, the Eagle must remove its old body parts because they are weakening it, and so for an old person, who is not able to do what he/she could do when he/she was young. It is well written and it's presenting the human life by personalising An eagle.

The poem "I'm an Eagle" uses imagery, metaphor and personification to help personificate the Eagle. Is using a lot of sight imagery to describe the looks of the Eagle, "removed my brittle beak, talons, and old wings painfully". It uses one metaphor which says that the Eagle will live on after he removed his weakened body parts, uses a lot of symbolism to describe its life and it represents the human life which uses personification. It has a lot of adjectives and adverbs to help with the imagery and that's why it's really good.
