In this study I will be comparing the 2 poems, To Autumn and Ozymandias

In this study I will be comparing the 2 rimes, To fall and Ozymandias. I have chosen these two poems because out of the 4 that we have looked at, I have found these to be the most interesting.In this study I will be comparing the 2 poems, To Autumn andOzymandias. I have chosen these two poems because out of the four thatwe have looked at, I have found these to be the most interesting.Ozymandias revolves more around time than nature, whereas To Autumnrevolves around nature more than time.Ozymandias is on the surface a nice little tale of a big bad man whomade a statue that has been destroyed. However if you probe at it, yourealise that it is actually all about time and nature destroyingeverything. I shall go into this further later.To Autumn would, at first base glance, seem to be simply about Autumn andhow it is the close-bosom friend of the maturing sun but if you lookin detail at the words used you goat see that there is an underlyingtone that is far more grim.Both poems have both rhyme and rhythm. In Ozymandias, there are 10syllables per line, buy food one, where there are 11. In To Autumn,there are also, about 10 syllables per line. As a result the rhythm inboth is pretty constant. As well as rhythm, they have rhyme. InOzymandias, the rhyme is the end of lines 1 & 3 & 5, 2 & 4, 6 & 8, 7 &10, 9 & 11 & 13, and 12 & 14. In To Autumn the end of all lines ineach stanza do rhyme with at least one other, in this way 1st & 3rd,2nd & 4th, fifth & 9th & 10th, 6th & 8th, 7th & 11th. This pattern isrepeated in each stanza.Ozymandias is simply a big single stanza To Autumn however is a poemwith 3 stanzas. But these do not really seem to flow together. Theyrather seem to be almo... ...zymandias negotiation more about the strength of time, whereas ToAutumn talks about how Nature, and in particular, Autumn are forcesthat provide much in the world.If you are someone who doesnt class a poem as a poem unless it hasrhyme, rhythm, poetic language, sound patterns etc, the n you are farmore likely to prefer To Autumn, because it is much more the poetspoem than Ozymandias. I personally prefer Ozymandias, because it has big(p) power. Although it doesnt have much in the ways of standardpoetic tools, it does have rhyme and rhythm, as well as a deep andstrong message.Self-Criticism - non enough actual comparison, too much just talkingabout the poem.- Used the words think and believe to oftenIs that even a word?- It doesnt read well, it jaws, I have obviously just looked at what to write and written about it just like that.
