276 The Vanity of Human Wishes and the Tenth Satire: A Comparison. This paper examines and compares two poems: The Vanity of Human Wishes and the Tenth Satire. This paper will compare these two poems and note the similarities and messages they both contain. The Vanity of Human Wishes and the Tenth Satire are great works of poetry, in comparison they are also very similar, which is the subject of the present essay. The poems are structured into a number of sections. The Vanity of Human Wishes essentially illustrates how many of the traditional aspirations of man - wealth, political power, learning, military glory, long life, and beauty - are, when the mechanism of attaining these ends is deconstructed, ultimately 'empty' goals. Johnson ends the poem advocating instead love, patience, and faith: 'these goods for man the laws of heaven ordain' . The underlying assumption for Johnson is that people have the same nature, and that whoever thinks rationally must also think morally; the poem has a strong moral tone to it.

188 Poe's Unity Theory. This paper will discuss Edgar Allan Poe's unity of effect. This paper will also illustrates this theory in the works, "The Pit and the Pendulum," and "The Fall of the House of Usher." Through this paper, it will be known how this great writer inspired unity throughout his works through the setting, character description and narration that is weaved through his works. His talent was strong enough to direct his life, yet the constant emphasis on ancient family and on rich and costly surroundings in his stories indicates that the expensive tastes nurtured in him when young never changed. His disappointment in love, the loss of a gentleman's estate and the constant recurrence of death in Poe's family undoubtedly heightened Poe's morbid preoccupation. His own vivid sense of the dramatic and his restless nature that craved excitement, account for the startling situations in his stories.

329 An Analysis of Into the Woods. This paper discusses the fairy tale musical, "Into the Woods." One of the many brilliant Sondheim lyrics in Into the Woods sums up this thesis better than I ever could. In the show's Finale, the Company sings, "Careful the wish you make, Wishes are children. Careful the path they take - Wishes come true, Not free" (136). What we wish for isn't always necessarily what we really want, but sometimes it takes a wish coming true to come to that realization.

353 The Secrets of Life in Poetry. This paper discusses how the secrets of life can often be found in poetry. . We don't know the meaning of life. We don't know the secrets of love. We don't know what happens to us after we die. We don't know the answers to any of these burning questions, but after examining the work of such poets as Homer, Virgil, Ovid and Shakespeare, one can't help but feel they are somehow closer to the answers. People often turn to poetry when everyday language isn't enough to express what they think or feel. Poetry can be comforting in times of sorrow and ecstatic in times of joy. But there is much more to poetry than just the expression of emotions.

Eliot - The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and Other Observations. In this poem, Eliot is speaking from the perspective of J.Alfred Prufrock, the prototypical modern man who serves as the poem's speaker. Prufrock seems to be addressing a would-be lover from afar as he searches for the courage to approach her despite everything he knows about the world.

403 Thomas Hardy and Landscape in Poems. This paper discusses the importance of landscape in poetry. Thomas Hardy was one poet who used landscape particularly effectively, but not "landscape" in the sense of rolling hills and mountains, but more the landscape of society within the Victorian period during which he lived. Hardy's poetry explores a fatalist outlook against the dark, rugged landscape of his Dorsetshire, England home. Hardy's use of landscape if demonstrated in the two poems, which I will analyze in the following, pages, "The Convergence of the Twain" and "The Ruined Maid".

402 Dylan Thomas's Poetry. This paper discusses the life of Dylan Thomas and his autobiographical elements in his poetry. In fact, Thomas' poetry is so autobiographical in itself that one can learn a great deal about the poet just by reading them. His life can be summed up in a quote from Thomas himself, which reads, "I hold a beast, an angel, and a madman in me, and my inquiry is as to their working, and my problem is their subjugation and victory, downthrown and upheaval, and my effort is their self-expression".
