English Notes - Poetry, Prose, Drama, Novel

Dramatic poetry is poetry that is written for the stage or that is read or performed before an audience. Narrative poetry is poetry that is written for an audience that is intended to convey the personal experiences of the author. Narrative poetry tells a story; it conveys information. Dramatic poetry tells a story, often with use of action or dialogue. Both forms of poetry convey a message, but in dramatic poetry, the speech of the characters carries the message, while in narrative poetry, the author does. Narrative poetry requires the author to present one or more characters, situations, or events in a setting, and tell the story or explain the idea through the words used. By contrast, dramatic poetry does not tell any particular story, but instead uses dramatic techniques to create moods, feelings, and impressions in the reader.

The essay " Spoken English and Broken English " by George Bernard Shaw is a written version of a radio interview that was broadcast in 1927. This essay seeks to discuss how to speak English to a foreign English language learner when we visit the British Commonwealth, the United States, or encounter a native speaker. It even claims that the native may even speak in a regional or cockney dialect that he is somewhat ashamed of and that this may even prevent him from obtaining some employment that is only available to those speaking correct English. There are three sections in the essay. There is no single example of English speech that is considered to be correct, as is emphasised in the first section. Everyone, whether they are native speakers or visitors, needs to keep in mind that there is no perfect form of English. He claims that no two British people have the same speech pattern. Despite the fact that they all have different speaking styles, they are all understandable and

Poem To see both blended in one flood, The mothers’ milk, the children’s blood, Makes me doubt if heaven will gather Roses hence, or lilies rather. Introduction The 17th-century metaphysical poet Richard Crashaw was renowned for his religious and devotional poetry. Among his most famous works is the Latin poem entitled "Upon the Infant Martyrs." This poem is a moving and beautiful tribute to the innocent children who were martyred for their faith. In it, Crashaw imagines the children as a chorus of angels singing praises to God. The poem is both a touching elegy and a powerful statement of faith. Summary In the poem “Upon the Infant Martyrs”, Richard Crashaw discussed the brutal murdering of newborn babies particularly the aftermath of the massacre. The "milky fonts that bath [their] thirst" in "To the Infant Martyrs" beg an insulting comparison to the blood dripping from severed veins and female body parts, and the milky lather bubbling from the mouth of

  Introduction In the early years of the 20th century, there was a growing movement in English literature known as “The Arts for Arts Sake.” The movement was motivated by the belief that art should be used to improve society and promote social justice. This is a truly ambitious goal, and it took many years for The Arts for Arts Sake Movement to gain traction. Today, it remains an important part of the literary conversation, and there are many excellent books, articles, and videos dedicated to it. The History of the Art for Arts Sake Movement in English Literature. The Art for Arts Sake Movement was founded in the early 1990s to encourage English writers to focus on the arts as a way to express their ideas and improve their writing. The movement is considered an important part of English literature, and has helped many authors achieve success both in English language publications and abroad. What is the Art for Arts Sake Movement The Art for Arts Sake Movement is a global movement made

The poem The Glove and the Lion has four stanzas. Six-line stanzas rhyme aa bb cc. 13 feet (?) per line. The poem's setting is far from Hunt's time. The poem's kings, noblemen, and ladies give it a pre-Renaissance feel. Hunt's poem describes an unusual experience. A royal court watches two beast kings battle. Courtiers watch the king's spectacle from comfortable seats. Many of Hunts' poems have a metaphorical secondary meaning, such as a battle between two powerful people. In the midst of the spectacle, the poet shows us Count de Lorge's love affair with a woman. The poet lists values held by his poem's people: pride, gallantry, valour, and love. The second stanza features vivid images. "Rampled and roared" is alliterative and paradoxical ("horrid laughing jaws"). The short verbs show how quickly the beasts moved: "They bit, glared, and gave beam blows." The repeated /w/ sound in "wind went with their paws" emphasi

 A short story written by Ruskin Bond titled "The Eyes are Not Here." This piece of writing is both lovely and delightful. The author told the tale in the first-person point of view. The narrator was a young man who was unable to see. He was going to Dehra at the time. A young girl travelled alone on board the train. The author paid close attention to the safety instructions that had been given to her by her parents. The narrator became familiar with the young lady and eventually asked her where she was going.  She informed him that she would disembark at Shahrampur, which was only a little more than two hours away. The author went to great lengths to conceal the fact that he was blind, taking all necessary precautions. He praised the young lady by remarking that she had a unique appearance to her face.  She was ecstatic to hear such a compliment because everyone else had told her that she had a pretty face. The author found himself drawn to her by her lilting tone and the he

 Proverbs are well-known sayings that offer life and behaviour advice, such as "Honesty is the best policy" and "All that glitters is not gold." Simple proverbs have deep meaning. They're short but full of wisdom. Metaphors are common in proverbs. Metaphors compare two dissimilar things without using the words 'like' or 'as' Proverbial sayings often use irony or words with opposite meanings. Proverb expansion is a worthwhile writing assignment. It involves understanding a proverb's meaning, implication, and relevance. To expand a proverb, explain its meaning and significance by using reasoning and real-life examples to convey its truth and wisdom. 1) Unity of thought; 2) Order; 3) Coherence; 4) Variety; 5) Expansion. Haste makes waste (or) Slow and steady wins the race. We should be careful when working. No hurrying! We should work slowly to improve. When climbing a tree or hill, be careful. We'll fall if we're careless or hurried. Th

 "Spoken English and Broken English" is a 1927 radio talk by George Bernard Shaw. This essay explains how to speak English to a foreign English student in the British Commonwealth, America, or when meeting a native. It says the native may speak a provincial or cockney dialect he's ashamed of, which could prevent him from getting a job open only to those who speak correct English. The essay has three parts. The first part emphasises there is no single model of correct English speech. There is no ideal English, native or foreigner. Shaw discusses "correct English," or proper English speech. No two Brits speak alike, he says. They all speak differently, but presentably, making them understandable and socially acceptable. The second part discusses how everyone, educated or not, speaks differently in public and private. To make an impact and be understood, a public speaker must measure each word. In private, a man cares less about speech, grammar, etc. Shaw presents
