3. Howl is about madness: it's supposed to be confusing. That's the point. Also, Ginsberg never thought it would be so widely read (source (Links to an external site.)), so it contains a lot of references to people and places that his friends would have known about, but which require a bit of explanation for the contemporary reader. (e.g., "N.C." in line 43.) On the other hand, the use of the "long line" that Ginsberg borrowed from Walt Whitman gives the poem a rhythm that resembles ordinary speech. Try to keep up with the frenetic speaker and his intense emotions, and don't worry too much about making sense of every last word and detail. 5 sentences

1 In Robert Hayden's poem "Those Winter Sundays", what do the words "austere" and
"office" means in the lineS below? How does this explain what the speaker is saying? 5
sentences.
In Hayden’s poem entitled “Those Winter Days”, the author ended his poem with an interesting phrase that include the words ‘austere’ and ‘offices’. Although the meaning of these words could be interpreted in a variety of ways, I believe that together, these two represents the kind of parental love to which the son (speaker) did not realize until he grew old. On the one hand, the speaker used the word ‘austere’, which represents the kind of strict attitude of his dad towards him. On the other hand, office (“lonely offices”) could refer to his dad’s job that he chose to do regardless of whether he liked it or not. Taken together, this phrase shows that the speaker just realized that his father’s decision to go to his job every single day was also a kind of love.
2 How would you describe Emily Dickinson's poem "Because I could not stop for Death --" to someone who has never read it? 3-5 sentences
In order to describe Emily Dickinson’s poem to someone who has never read it, I would use the analogy of a journey towards an dark and unknown forest. It must be noted, a journey into an unknown forests includes a variety of things that the individual cannot predict or control. In line with Dickinson’s poem, the speaker made the reader aware that the journey with Death involves a lot of things that are beyond his own control (i.e., one’s death). Thus, by describing Dickinson’s poem with a journey towards a deep and unknown forest, the audience would realize that death is unpredictable and out of their control.
