English Beowulf Essay

Beowulf will be missed for his courageous actions, compassion towards his throng and his strong will to fight. He was loved by his people and all people that he helped. Beowulf was a strong warrior that would never back stilt from a challenge. If he saw trouble, no matter what rustic, he would do go to the country to defeat their monster. He has fought and won battles against many monsters. He alike cared about people from other countries. He went to Denmark to save Hrothgar and his people from the monster Grendel. He did not do this for the money that he would receive after he did it for glory and to bring peace to Denmark.He cared about his people and his comrades, and would never back down from a fight. He always wanted fame and he received it up until his death. Everyone thought very highly of him. He always said that if anything were to happen to him he would want his belongings to go to his people and his king. He did not show this pleasant side of him to his enemies.

He rest forever with the treasures that he won in his final conquest. I have been assigned to write an English poetry coursework, I was given a range of two poems to choose to discerp.The two poems I was given to choose to analyse are the followingFirstly, I am not that Woman, which is compose by the Asian poet Kishwar Naheed, the poem was translated in to English from Urdu.And secondlyOnce upon a Time, this is written by Gabrael Okara.I have chosen to analyse the es conjecture on the poem I am not that Woman.Kishwar Naheed was born in Bulandshahr, which is situated in India, in 1940. She is one of the best-known feminist poets of Pakistan, regular(a) at this present moment, her mother tongue was Urdu so many of the poems were originally written in Urdu.It also says that she has written ten collections of poetry, one of them poems is written on the state of women in the early days.The poet experiences the situation that the women in the past had no rights and were tortured, in other course women were discriminated. The poet has a purpose of the poem, the theme of the poem is to broadcast the message that Asian women are not that type of women who were unable to do things, for example, money werent given to women to spend on either necessities or anything, they were also locked up in rooms and simply saying that their lives were just ruined.The sprightlinessing of the poet are at first distress that it makes a f emale reader feel extremely emotional about the fact that she has the ability of writing such words in front of the world asking for freedom. The poem has five stanzas, every(prenominal) line of the stanza is explained below.At the beginning of each stanza, Kishwar writes that I am not that woman, the whole purpose of this to emphasise the importance of women rights. She says selling you socks and shoes, the meaning to say this is that she is not them woman who get extremely less money for work. After writing this she says, remember I am the one you hid in your walls of stone, the words which come out of her mouth are not true but she is explaining the sentence by using metaphors, she conveys the message that she was restricted to go out, it is a dawdle and nobody could come out to do work or even shopping.Kishwar says that while you roamed, the women could not step out of their houses to even meet their friends, it was like uncheerful inside the jail for them and the men had soft times to have a laugh, repenting was not in the mens lives and did feel ashamed of doing such acts as beating, swearing and how cruel they were. Moving on to the next line which talks about freedom of men the poet says free as the breeze, not knowing that my parting cannot be smothered by stones, the meaning of this is that if she was to shout at someone outside to escape from the trap, it is not like this that her power of speech was controlled.
