Dance Literature Reviews Samples For Students

On first reading William Blake’s poem, “The Tyger,” it appears to be a simple poem about the giant cat, the tiger. The first clue that this poem is about more than just a tiger is that it is full of questions. “What immortal hand or eye/ Could frame thy fearful symmetry?” asks Blake at both the beginning and the end of the poem (3-4, 23-24). The tiger, as Blake describes it, is full of “fire,” has “dread feet,” and a “dread grasp” (6, 8, 12, 15). It is a fearsome animal.

The most important questions in the poem are, “Did he smile ...

and “The Silent Dancing” by Judith Ortiz Cofer

The two stories under consideration are rather different in style, plot and message, but we can still find some resemblance.

Both of the stories tell us about the experience of authors connected to the childhood: “The Silent Dancing” is about the life of a Puerto Rican family and one particular party they had organized. The story of each family member is described in detail through his or her dialogs and actions. In the form of a silent movie, this looks even more appealing because it sends us back to the early years of the authors life. It is apparent that this story, out of two, is more descriptive and longer; it ...

The Dead is an intriguing masterpiece written by James Joyce and bases his storyline in Ireland during Christmas. Joyce invites the reader into his plot by his artistic description of things and scenery in his book. The writer points out the snow on the ground as symbolic of a blanket that covers the bad and the good on the earth. Joyce writes that the snow covers both the dead and the living and unites them into a frozen paralysis (Joyce, 184). The story of the dead encapsulates Gabriel Conroy as viewing himself superior to others due to his intellectual capabilities as ...

Literature: The Second World War and its Aftermath /A Century Ends

A poem by Theodore Roethke ‘My Papa’s Waltz’ is a representative of postwar lyrics. It describes father and son relationships, narrated retrospectively from the point of view of an adult, who used to be a participant of the action.
A question whether the poem pictures violence towards the child or on the contrary presents us warm relations between a youngster and a grown-up remains arguable. The author shows the act as a beautiful, graceful dance – the waltz. This fact directs us to the idea that for the narrator this experience was not horrible at all. He does not try to idealize his ...

"My Papa's Waltz" - Literary Analysis
In Theodore Roethke's "My Papa's Waltz," the complex relationship between a father and son is communicated expertly through evocative imagery, steady rhythm and clear emotion. The specific nature of the boy's relationship with his father is a complex dichotomy between love and victimization, as the father is shown to be clearly alcoholic and abusive, both to his son and to his mother. Through the help of the aforementioned imagery and escalation of each stanza, Roethke makes clear the overall message of the poem, subtly alluding to the father's alcoholism, which is taken at face ...

The Romantic poets of the eighteenth century spent a great deal of time pondering nature and time in their poetry, but none more so than William Wordsworth and John Keats. While both of them strove to understand man’s relation with nature and time, there were startling contrasts to how each of them approached the subjects. This contrast can be seen clearly in two poems, Wordsworth’s “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” and Keats’ “Ode on a ...
