From the visual and the structural appearance of the poem to the many literary devices used, Pratt allows the reader’s mind wander to find the images of oceans, waves and time passing by. This poem is very complex and therefore the focus on this analysis will be on the visual representation of the poem and the sophisticated metaphor used to describe aging. Starting with the visual aspect of…

This may symbolize the respect that the two men had. They are carrying big staffs or horns. These may be used to to control the people /animals that are under them. The temple may have been used for religious or sacrificial purposes. THere looks to be an altar on the inside that could have been used to sacrifice to the gods to…

The guitar is a very old yet well-known instrument; its history can be traced back to over 4000 years ago. Many people have tried to find out where the guitar came from and which instruments helped it evolve to become what it is now. The next version of the guitar was created in the late 14th century; there were two different models: the Latin and Moorish guitars.
