She Walks in Beautly Like the Night

For some reason my computer does not allow me to comment and I was not able to do this at school so here is my response...(:

The images that Byron uses in this poem is that of the night and the skies. The sky can bring so many different feelings. The stars in the sky show that there is more out there than we think and just a glance at night doesn't always clearly show beauty. We sometimes have to look deeper into not only night, but life. Normally, when a person thinks of night, darkness and danger come to mind. Byron suggests that its more than that.

A simile in this poem was the very first line. "She walks in beauty like the night." This shows that night does have beauty like a woman. Also, the woman was wearing a dark black gown. This shows that although she wore something dark like night, beauty was still evident. A metaphor is also shown through the first line in the use of the night. Beauty and night seem sometimes to be totally different, but in reality are much the same. The night is very dark and mysterious like that of a woman and love. When walking in the dark, many times without light, you don't know where you are going. This is the same with love. When you find someone, you cannot predict what will happen in the future, you can only hope and keep going.

This poem captures the romantic spirit because it compares the beauty of the woman to that of the night and nature itself. Sometimes the significance of nature is not evident right away so one must use knowledge and learn from nature. The last line says "A heart whose love is innocent!" This shows that the woman has a good heart and that you can find good anywhere, even in the night. Although the woman may be mysterious and sometimes appear to have darkness in her, her intentions are good and her love is innocent.

I never realized how songs could have so much meaning behind them, and even though people say "rap" or "hip hop" is ridiculous, there can be songs that have much meaning behind them and are very intelligent and satirical and can show a lot of societal issues we have in our world today and how we all left life fly by and we can't wait for this, or can't wait for that.. and it just really is amazing if you sit back and listen to lyrics and make out what there referring to and the metaphores they use to compare different relations and see how ridiculous the world is today, and how you have to make time for everything and how techonologically advanced the world is and it is taking over the world and in reality making us lazier and dumbing us down and makes us rely on so much.

romantic era

i think this should be an interesting era because we will learn how life explores outside the box and not following the crowd and you can gather your own ideas and information about nature and different subjects, and the beauty of everything, even underneath disaster.

this was a good era for our world in a whole because throughout school and your education, they don't ready you and prepare you for what life is really like, and what we will have to face and the challenges we will have to conquer.. this era helps us prepare for reality outside of education and highschool and after on what life is like and what we will have to do and face. our education is very important and valued in todays society, but we can't focus all of us on education because when you get in the real world you have to actually make decisions and ready yourself for what life is going to throw at you, and situations you will be stuck in, and no ones going to teach you that.. i would value the beauty of nature over education because i feel you learn more about living which is more imporant to live a good life rather than worry about past events and things that in the end won't be needed or won't matter.

I have read the first letter in the novel and i am confused. I was not really sure what they are talking about. I am also worried about having to read the whole novel with the confusing language. The amount of words on each page is also concerning me because it will take forever to read.
