White Heliotrope
Symons opens his poem “White Heliotrope” with the clinical images of a “feverish room” and “that white bed”. The personification of the room suggests an immoral lifestyle has been led. White is normally associated with purity however its juxtaposition with feverish diminishes the colour; moreover, the monosyllabic “and that white bed” sets a menacing atmosphere and could indicate the bed as being the source of this decadent lifestyle.

White Oleander: Book vs. Movie Like with most books that are made into movies, this was definitely a disappointment. I have always found that books can tell much better stories than what you see on screen, this was no different. The movie easily cut out very important parts of the story. The beginning of the book is so important because you really get the feel for the weird mother-daughter relationship between Astrid and her Mother.

Whitman
Whitman's grand poem is, in its way, an American epic. Beginning in medias res--in the middle of the poet's life--it loosely follows a quest pattern.

Frost's poem is melancholy and nostalgic in tone and soothing, almost hypnotic, in rhythm. Peaceful and serene in the natural scene it describes, it seems to sway between restful repose and death. Sleep and death, and a seeming longing for both, are evoked by the images of night, long travel, winter and isolation. The simple, formulaic phrasing and rhythm of the poem belie something hidden, beneath and in the past, which is more complex. Frost,
