Edgar Allan Poe in his poem “The Bells” had used various rhyming schemes. The pattern of the rhyme schemes is not consistent throughout the poem which gives a uniqueness to its composition. Though the rhyme scheme is not regular but has been very efficiently designed by Poe. The oral recitation of the poem creates a sound of the ringing bell as it is in reality. Each stanza of the poem is about different types of bells and about the music created by them reflects the same sound.

The first stanza is about the bells hung on the sleigh. The ‘tinkle-tinkle’ sound created by this bell can be felt in the first stanza. The second stanza tells about the ‘wedding bells.’ The short lines reflect the sound of the bells in a royal wedding which shows the level of excitement during the wedding time. The third stanza highlights the importance of alarm bells which are an essential part of the daily life. As the lines in the third stanza make its reader breathless, in the same way, the urgency of the alarm bells highlights that how important time is for any person. The poem ends with the stanza which is about the ‘funeral-bells.’ This bell is slow and calm which reflects that life has now come to its end and the time has come for an individual to rest now.

When answer questions like this, it is important to think about what you are visualizing while reading the text.  This should help with your explanation.  To reinforce means to "back up or prove" with evidence.  For example, how would a picture of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. exhibit in Washington D.C. reinforce the speech he gave?  The picture proves that the speech as well as Dr. King himself were a powerful presence to all.  He was so important to the change of Civil Rights in our country that the monument is a testament to that change.

Why do you think pastoralism arose in the same time period as naturalism despite their different themes or approaches to literat
Amanda [17]
<span>Romantic ideals in the early to mid-nineteenth century were shattered by the Civil War. Americans grew disillusioned by the war. They didn't agree with the glorious depiction of war that romantic literature tried to capture, both during and after the war. This disillusionment led writers to take a different perspective in their literature. Literary movements such as realism, naturalism, and pastoralism were the result. While realism and naturalism embraced scientific principles, pastoralism attempted to recapture romanticism by portraying the simple life. During the post-Civil War period, some writers felt that there was a need to show that romantic literature, as a whole, was not forgotten. Pastoralism depicted the beauty of a simple life, in particular, that of a shepherd’s, in order to recapture romanticism. Plato</span>
