I Robbed the Woods Analysis

Poem 41

I robbed the Woods --
The trusting Woods.
The unsuspecting Trees
Brought out their Burs and mosses
My fantasy to please.
I scanned their trinkets curious -- I grasped -- I bore away --
What will the solemn Hemlock --
What will the Oak tree say?

Analysis:

Poem 41: The tone of this poem makes me
feel sad because it shows a dark side most of us have. Woods in the forest
stand for the good source most of us want. They are like money, entertainments,
benefits and so on. We just know how to be selfish and rob those things from
society or others. We don't know pay back because we are ungrateful. I also
think it may tell us what the war is. This poem can be used to explain that the
war is an action of the imperious countries who try to concur others and get as
much "treasures" as they can.

When I Count the Seeds Analysis

Poem 40

When I count the seeds
That are sown beneath,
To bloom so, bye and bye –

When I con the people
Lain so low,
To be received as high –

When I believe the garden
Mortal shall not see –
Pick by faith its blossom
And avoid its Bee,
I can spare this summer, unreluctantly.

Analysis:

Poem 40: The tone of this poem makes me feel generous and optimistic. This poem shows that the thoughts in our minds sometimes are different from realistic. I got it when I read the description of "seeds" and "people." Sometimes the things we think are beautiful will usually be ignored in the real world. Sometimes the things we don't like are usually admired by others. So, Dickinson thinks why don't we make our own world we like? She describes a very beautiful garden which will never be disappeared in her mind. Then she says: "I can spare this summer, unrelunctantly" because the summer doesn't matter to her. This poem tells me, when we make some challenges, we should stay strong in our mind and never give up.

Dickinson Poem Analysis

Poem 35:

Nobody knows this little Rose --
It might a pilgrim be
Did I not take it from the ways
And lift it up to thee.
Only a Bee will miss it --
Only a Butterfly,
Hastening from far journey --
On its breast to lie --
Only a Bird will wonder --
Only a Breeze will sigh --
Ah Little Rose -- how easy
For such as thee to die!

Poem 35: The tone of this poem is kind sad. And it’s ironic that Rose is very beautiful but doesn’t get any great attention except some bees, butterflies… But after the Rose was lifted by people and get admired from people, it would usually die soon. The Rose is symbolized many people, the whole life of the Rose is just like most of our life. Dickinson feels that the life of people is very short. One man fights for his success during most of his life, but he can just enjoy his success for very short time.

Poem 39

It did not surprise me—
So I said—or thought—
She will stir her pinions
And the nest forgot,

Traverse broader forests—
Build in gayer boughs,
Breathe in Ear more modern
God's old fashioned vows—

This was but a Birdling—
What and if it be
One within my bosom
Had departed me?

This was but a story—
What and if indeed
There were just such coffin
In the heart instead?

Poem 39: The tone of this poem is sad neither. I think the bird in this poem is stand for a spouse or friend of someone. It describes that the spouse (friend) betrays this man, and looks for new spouse (friend). As she said” This was but a story”, it means the same thing happened before. The rebel left his previous spouse (friend) to the man. So the man doesn’t feel surprise when the “Bird” left him for a new “Host”. Although it didn’t surprise the man, the man still feels sad and can’t forget what happened to him. So he said” There were just such coffin in the heart instead”.

Dickinson Poem Analysis

Poem 30: 

ADRIFT! A little boat adrift!
And night is coming down!
Will no one guide a little boat
Unto the nearest town?
So sailors say, on yesterday,
Just as the dusk was brown,
One little boat gave up its strife,
And gurgled down and down.
But angels say, on yesterday,
Just as the dawn was red,
One little boat o’erspent with gales
Retrimmed its masts, redecked its sails
Exultant, onward sped!

Poem 31:

SUMMER for thee grant I may be
When summer days are flown!
Thy music still when whippoorwill
And oriole are done!
For thee to bloom, I ’ll skip the tomb
And sow my blossoms o’er!
Pray gather me, Anemone,
Thy flower forevermore!

Poem 30: This poem shows a tone of optimistic and makes people feel energetic. Dickinson gives a compare of two different types version of thoughts in the same situation. Dickinson shows two different descriptions because of the different thoughts and attitude of them. The sailors say that the little boat gave up and gurgled down and down. But the angels say the little boat retrimmed its masts- redecked its sails and shot- exultant on. This is a epitome of challenges we met in our life. We can be very industrious and happy because of our thoughts although this challenge may seem terrible. But I don’t know why she wrote the first paragraph.

Poem 31: This poem’s tone is very interesting and romantic. This poem shows how a girl wants to get the attention of the man she loves. Summer can give people light and warm, so she wants to become the summer of that man. Music makes people relax and happy, so she also wants to become music around this man. Flowers are beautiful and are always admire and water by people, so she wants to become this man’s flower. Dickinson uses different characterization to show the relationship and thought of the girl and the man she love.

Report of Steel in Europe in 19th Century

                     Report of Steel in Europe in 19th Century

     Before the 19th century, people used wood to melt iron. But wood became scarce because a huge amount of people heat wood in the home and in some other places. Later, people found iron can be smelted by using coke. So coal is demanded for the steel industry. In 1805-1807, Murdock built a gas works supplying the cotton mill for illumination and this technology was used in smelting iron later. People tried to get as much coal as they can, so they went into deeper ground and exploit more coals. Steam engines played a big role in this process. It made this dream become possible. One other very important technology is compressed air to blast furnaces because it can make high quality of iron. There was a big change in the steel industry in 1855 that Englishman Henry Bessemer invented a new process for refining and mass producing steel. It can help makes things other than knife and similar articles. Many other industries grow quickly by the steel industry growth. The growth of the steel industry helped the architecture industry a lot. They could build a better bridge or buildings in a faster way. However, when the use of steel becomes more variety, people began to worry about the origin source of STEEL, such as coal, mine and iron. So they try to find concur other poor countries to get the resource they need. In other words, the growth of the steel industry is one the cause of wars in the 19th century.

Dickinson 25, 27

Poem 25: I think this poem is about two friends separated for a long time. The tone of this poem makes me feel kind sad. The theme is about when Dickinson finds her good friend after a long time. When she gets closed to her, she couldn’t be recognized immediately by her because as time goes by, Dickinson became different from before. But she recognized Dickinson’s foot immediately because there are some special mark on her foot or the sound of the foot. I think Dickinson may try to explain time change a lot things but there are still something will never get changed as time fly.

Poem 27: This poem shows how Dickinson loves sun. Because at morn, she can’t see sun; she can see sun at the noon. At the beginning of sun’s rise, the light, location and size of sun always change. Later it will be firmer. Dickinson worries that the sun will leave her for the transport later as she said “She- was mute from transport- I from agony-” She regard the sun as linnet and when the evening gets closed, the linnet flew away. The tone of this poem is also kind sad because she can’t keep the sun forever.
