Poetry pt. 2
Do not go gentle...
If you're gunna go, die kicking
Don't accept death
Narrator to father- don't die. Shift "and you"
Resistingly aware (knowledge, enlightenment, "know"), expected melancholia (sadness, "grieved too late"), determined rage (the narrator is talking to his father), wistful regret (might have been), solemn objectivity (grave men)
Youth would be more likely to have this attitude
Shift: 16, 4, 10, both or none @16
angry opposition not it, challenging preparedness is how the author suggests meeting death- do not go gentle into the good night
Reveal ambiguity towards his father and his impending death: various characterization of men that aren't his father, he doesn't know his father and how he would do it so gives options
Can't personify a person
Animals can do a lot of things humans can do too. Extended metaphor of the bird yesterday. Personification is only human qualities- talking.
Departmental
Allegory for human idiosyncrasies- "ants"
Starts with an observational narrative. He doesn't respond but reports it. The last two lines. Momentary observation to universal truth. Descritive narrative to pensive editorial (opinion based).
Tone: satirical exposition (shared info) how everything's bureaucratically
"Arrest" incarceration, admonition (a lecture, shaming) , capture, detention, seizure.
Context, roots of words, eliminating wrong ones
Euphemism- nicer connotation
Fantastically- fantasy, allegory
