Hamlet anaylsis

I believe that in the first act of Hamlet William Shakespeare put the ghost of the previous king Hamlet to show the dead king's significance to the play. In the start of the play Hamlet, the guards have been seeing the dead king for days and have shown it to Horatio, who is the friend of Hamlet. By seeing the dead king, Horatio thinks of the event as an ill omen for the future. Horatio believes that the dead king's ghost is a warning about future military defeats of the country. He tries to speak to the dead king, but the ghost does not reply, so Horatio thought of telling Hamlet about what has occurred. The young Fortinbras is thought to attack the country to regain the lands that the previous King Hamlet had conquered, so the previous king's actions can help incite a war, which may later on drastically affect the play. Later on, Hamlet discovers that his uncle will marry his mother even though less than two months have passed since the previous king's demise. Through this discovery, Hamlet loses respect for his mother and his uncle, furthermore through the discovery of marriage, Hamlet wishes that he can die and join his father. Through the absence of the previous King Hamlet, Hamlet lacks a father figure and is pessimistic about the world, which can later drastically affect  his actions and how he perceives events in the future.
                 Later on, Hamlet guided by Horatio meets his dead father's ghost and follows it. The dead king reveals to Hamlet that his death was unnatural and that Hamlet should take revenge for him. Through the revelation about the previous king's plea for revenge, the plot of Hamlet's life takes a huge turn. William Shakespeare put the previous king to drastically impact Hamlet. Hamlet feels depressed and saddened that his mother feels no remorse or guilt over getting remarried to the previous king's brother. Moreover, Hamlet decides to follow his dead father's advice and try to take up his plan for revenge, so his father clearly has much impact on Hamlet's life, even affecting his feelings towards their his relatives. Hamlet's father has a strong influence over Hamlet even though he is dead; Shakespeare may have done that to show how people can influence us even after they are gone, which shows how much thought he has put into his play Hamlet.

The Blind Always Come as Such a Suprise Anaylsis

"The Blind Always Come as such a Surprise" is a poem by Ted Kooser and I will go line by line trying to analysis the poem from my perspective. In the first line, the narrator says that the "Blind always come as such a surprise," which also is the title. I believe that the narrator was saying that whenever one sees blind people the sight is unusual and surprising. The next line says that the blind fill up an elevator. Basically the narrator was saying that when the blind get on an elevator their presence feels very intimidating and large when compared to the average person that gets on elevators. In addition, the next line says that the blind come in the elevator with a great white porcupine of canes; the narrator may have said that the canes where whte porcupines to show that the canes are very innocent, but the average person does not want to get in its way, just like people would avoid porcupines. Furthermore, the next line says that the blind went into the elevator as a noisy crowd; the narrator may have said that to show that the blind's presence is feels much larger than the average person and that every action they do feels "bigger" than an average non-blind person. The next line says that the event was like being in the eye of a hurricane. Ted Kooser put that in the poem to show irony, since he included both the words eye and the phrase eye of a hurricane, which looks like an eye. He did this since it is ironic that the blind can create an image of an eye, even though their eyes may not work. The narrator later says that the dashboards of cars stopped; this line is put in the poem to show that people stop in their tracks when the blind come onto their sights. In addition, the next line says that people's shoes stood still on the trains; this is line was put into the poem to further emphasize that the blind's presence stops people in their tracks, since their presence may feel intimidating towards others. The next couple of lines says that sentences are struck down in mid-flight by the canes of the blind; the narrator was basically saying that when the blind come, people stop suddenly stop their conversations. Furthermore, the couple of lines say that the blind change our lives and tap across the bright circles of our ambitions; the narrator was basically saying that the blind can positively impact people and make them focus on their ambitions. Finally, the last line says " Like cracks traversing the favorite china," but unfortunately I do not know what to make of this line and do not know how to interpret it.

The School Children anaylsis

The "school children" is a poem by Louise Gluck and I will go line by line trying to analysis the poem from my perspective. The first line starts off with children going forward with their sandals. I thought that the line had a somber tone, because the children were standing and marching like soldiers that go forward. Soldiers wear boots, but since the children are little the sandals can symbolic boots. The next line involves mother's laboring in the morning. The tone very negative in the line, since the mothers have to use up their mornings working. The next line says that the mothers were gathering red and gold apples; this seems to show that the mothers are laboring very hard to provide a tribute or a sacrifice of apples. Next, the poem says that the gathering of the apples were like words of a different language, so that can be interpreted as the mothers are gathering the apples in a way that is foreign and different from the usual feelings associated with gathering apples. By laboring all morning for the red and gold apples, the gathering of apples on this day is on a different occasion than the norm, since usually mothers would never have to labor all morning for something so trivial as gathering some apples. The next three lines mention that on the other side where the children are at they hang their overcoats over yellow or blue wood. The second line ended with the children hang, so it seems very negative and grim, but the very next line mentions that they were just hanging their overcoats on colorful wood. The red wood can symbolize passion, love, or anger, while the yellow wood can symbolize joy and cheerfulness. Also, due to the fact that the children hung their overcoats can symbolize that the season is winter or late fall. Furthermore, the next line starts off with the teachers instruct the kids in silence; this can symbolize that the teachers are a kind of parental figure, since they instruct their children, which is what parents do. In addition, since the children are instructed in silence, it further shows that the teachers are symbolic of parents, since parents also do want children to pay attention while instructing them. The next line starts off with the mothers trying to scour the orchards for a way out, which can symbolize that the mothers are at the teachers mercy, since they have control over the children. Furthermore, the next line says that the mothers draw themselves the gray limbs of the fruit tree, so it symbolizes that the mothers were trying to find apples to offer as tribute to the teachers. But the final line says that the trees bear little ammunition, which symbolizes that the teachers demand something in exchange for their teachings and that the apples are "ammunition" that will cause the teachers to do well for the children.
