steroids :: essays research papers

Q. I have patients previously diagnosed as Asthma who are now classified as COPD. Should I keep them on inhaled steroids? A. If you have a strong suspicion that your patient has COPD rather than asthma (smoking history, progressive shortness of breath), then you should slowly reduce the dose of inhaled steroids (over several months - e.g. 25% reduction every 2-3 months). In most patients with COPD you will be able to withdraw the inhaled steroid completely, without any increase in symptoms or change in lung function. Q. What is a recommended 'steroid trial' for COPD? A. The most frequently used regime for a steroid trial is to give oral prednisolone (40mg daily in a single morning dose) for 2 weeks. It is best to make measurements of peak expiratory flow (PEF) twice a day for 2 weeks before starting oral steroids in order to get a baseline value and then during the treatment period. FEV, should be measured at the beginning and end of the baseline period and after the inhaled steroids. A steroid trial is considered positive if FEV, or mean PEF increase by more than15%, when a diagnosis of asthma is made. It is important to remember that some patients will have asthma and COPD at the same time. Q. What is the role, if any, for oral steroids in COPD? A. Oral steroids are used in a formal trial of steroids and may be useful in acute exacerbations of COPD. They should not be used as a maintenance treatment because of the side effects of long-term steroid therapy. Q. With a newly diagnosed COPD patient should I initiate steroid therapy, if so how? A. If a patient has COPD with no evidence of response to oral steroids (negative steroid trial) then inhaled steroids should not be used. It is possible that inhaled steroids may alter the accelerated annual rate of decline in lung function with age. Q. How will I know if a COPD patient is benefiting from steroid therapy? A. The best way to determine whether inhaled steroids are beneficial is to slowly reduce the dose. If FEV, or mean PEF show no deterioration, the inhaled steroid can be completely withdrawn. Q. Will COPD patients need to be on long-term steroid therapy? If so, what about side effects? A. Only patients who have shown a positive response to oral steroids (steroid trial) should be on inhaled steroids.

Computer and Grades

This chapter presents the background of the study, problem and its significance, and the scope and limitation of the study. Background of the Study In this Information Age we are able to process or transmit, sort and retrieve data or information between one computer to another. With this, it makes the communication and different task done easy and less time consuming and hassle free. Like in schools, offices this brings a big help. In schools especially in colleges/ universities it is consist of different people and machine that work together to achieve one common goal.One of this goal is the transferring of data or information of computed grades of the student on how they performed academically in their different respective subject. On latter days, instructors manually computing the grades of their students then input it in computer, print it for them to have the hard copy. One is for their own then the other copy for the registrar or dean whom they passed the reports of the grades. But with this grading system, they can compute or tabulates the grades of their students computerized, easily and efficiently, less paper works and they can pass it through computer to the registrar and dean.And most important is that the student can quickly response if he have a problem with his grades because of the system SMS notification. The student will receive a SMS notification if he is needed to comply or talk with his respective instructor about his academic performance or grades. This will help the student that always have the reason of it was too late when they know that they failed on that subject so they were not able to comply or talk with their instructor. Objectives of the Study The main objective of the study is to minimize the task of the instructor.Registrar. This study will benefit and help the registrar to monitor the student list and information with the grades coming from their instructors. Dean. This study will benefit and help the dean of this college to m onitor the class standings and per term submission of grades of the students by the instructors. Future Researchers. This study will serves as reference for the future researchers on their future study. Scope and Delimitation This study covers the CLC College of Stop. NIH, Japan City grading system.It also includes how these students will comply eventually on their grades problems with the use of SMS notification. This study focuses on the problem on how the student list be monitor and update timely and how the grades of the student will compute accurately and efficiently that will help the student and instructor to communicate despite of their busy and different schedule if they have something to settle that deals with the grade or class standing of the student. And this study focuses to suggested ways or solutions to avoid the students for being fail in different subjects.Make the student responsible for his studying and completes the requirements with his subjects as a student. D efinition of Terms 1 . Information Age – Growth of information industry where information can be sorted, stored and retrieved from one computer to another. 2. Comply – To complete, reform what is due, and to be courteous. 3. System Development Life Cycle – System Life Cycle is an organizational process of developing and maintaining systems. It helps in establishing a system project plan, because it gives overall list of processes and sub-processes required for developing a system.Chapter II The Review of Related Literature and Studies Foreign Literature According to John Palmer, Robert Williams & Heinz Dither Curtain University of Technology, Perth, WA, Australia (2011) they stated that: â€Å"Automated marking of assignments consisting of written text would doubtless be of teachers and education administrators alike. When large numbers of assignments are submitted at once, teachers find themselves bogged down in their attempt to provide consistent evaluations and high quality feedback to students within as short a timeshare as is reasonable, usually a matter of days rather than weeks.Educational administrators are also concerned with quality and timely feedback, but in addition must manage the cost of doing this work. Clearly an automated system would be a highly desirable addition to the educational tool-kit, particularly if it can provide less costly and more effective outcome. In this paper we present a description and evaluation of four automated essay grading systems. We then report on our trial of one of these systems which was undertaken at Curtain University of Technology in the first half of 2011.The purpose of the trial was to assess whether automated essay grading was feasible, economically viable and as accurate as manually grading the essays. Within the Curtain Business School we have not previously used automated grading systems but the benefit could be enormous given the very large numbers of students in some first year su bjects. As we evaluate the results of our trial, a research and development direction is indicated which we believe will result in improvement over existing system.Keywords: assessment, assignment, automatic, essay, grading, marking, plagiarism† (http://www. Studded. Com/essays/Grading-System-For- Essay. HTML) The said article/essay that the grading system will be usable when it comes in grading especially to first year students. And when that system can be implemented, they can provide to students a good evaluation, and a timely feedback. So that, the proponents' proposed this study in order to have a good and timely dieback for the students.In a study conducted by Evangelists (2009) she stated that: â€Å"The Online Student Information System of Simon Fraser University of Canada is a secure, web accessible interactive computer system that allows user access to grade, reports, transcripts, schedule of classes, and remaining balance for the semester and register for classes o nline. † (http://www. Studded. Com/essays/Review-Of-Related- Foreign-Literature. HTML) The said article/essay that the system of the Simon Fraser University is secured, accessible and efficient to use because all the information that hey need in their university is encoded on their system.This article helps the proponents' to make the proposed system more accurate, convenient to use, understandable and make it user friendly environment. In a study conducted by Salem, University (2010) the school stated that: â€Å"In today's generation, we are engaged in highly computerized technology aiming to enhance individual lifestyle. The manual system is now considered obsolete after the birth of the computerized system. Computerized Grading System is now very common today's generation. † (http:// www. Studded. Com/essays/Fortunetelling. HTML) The said article/essay/ that our generation is innovated time-to-time. Nowadays, every companies or establishments is using a technology t o provide fast transactions and encoding data's much easier. This innovation helps the proponents' proposed study to provide more usable system. Local Literature In a study conducted by McFarland, Migration and Maiden (2009) they stated that: â€Å"A teaching and learning radically changed with advances in technology. Research shows that the computer can be an effective tool in both teaching and learning.As a part of innovation, computer and internet became a part of our need in learning. It helps us to know anything and connect us to everybody. It helps us also to learn something in a quick and easiest way by providing relevant and informative information online. † (http://www. Studded. Com/essays/Assessment-Of-Online- Grading-System-7655755. HTML) The said article/essay that every piece of information that we need, the computer can provide it through accessing the internet. And also it would be very helpful to the students who are engaging research papers.So that, the propo nents' proposed system should be able to give information to the user. In a study conducted by (Beg, 2010) he stated that: Manual also is using old method without the help of the technology or maybe less to perform certain task or work. For example using type writer to write a report or keep documents in the paper folder. While computerized system is using latest technology of CIT to carry out various tasks that is more effective compare to manual system in terms of the productivity and the time usage. † (http://www. Studded. Mom/essays/ Online-student-Information-system-1871749. HTML) The said article/essay that computer systems is easy to use rather than the manual system which is filing, using papers to store information's etc. But when it comes to computerized system, it is timeless and doubtless to encode & retrieve information's encoded on that system. So that, the proponents' proposed this study to help the user make their time be manageable. In a study conducted by Nat ional University (2011) the school stated that: â€Å"Nowadays, technology plays a very important role to our lives.We all knew that technology grows fast and the demand for human resources increased. Life in every aspect such as business transactions when it comes to doing heavy paper works, arranging, sorting now has come to find its solution to make task easier and less time consuming. We can say that all companies adopted what the technology offers. This is through the process of computerizing. With its help, all transaction inside and outside the business world can be done in an easy way. † (http:// www. Studded. Com/essays/Grading-System. HTML) The said article/essay that life made easy when using a computerized system, it is because the things that the human did manually, it can be done automatically through the help of a system, and the human efforts will be reduced. So that, the proponents' proposed this study to lessen the human efforts. Related Studies Foreign Stud ies In a study conducted by AY Hydraulically (2012) he stated that: â€Å"The first regular school be established in Bahrain, It's was established in 1919. The education in Bahrain was limited to education in chronic schools who are studying the Koran.However, AY Hydraulically was limited to the teaching the children of rich people and the owners of the important centers in the centers in the country and then become the public from people. It's a doubted by the ministry of education in Bahrain. As the time go to the school has improved it teaching system and the activates to make the studying more effective for the student and now this school have been secondary school for boys in Marjoram. Now, the school is using a manual grading system in which they are using papers, files, cards and calculators to calculate the marks of each student.This type of grading is very difficult and take a long term in calculating the grade of each student, and the school spends money every year for pa per files and other things, as well as there is big ability for losing or damaging the document. † (http://www. Demoded. Com/essays/Related-About- Grading-system-1077246. HTML) The said article/essay that manual computing of grades is taking too much time, and also, the school is able to pay for the papers that the students needed for storing their information's.So that, the proponents' proposed this study to avoid paying such papers and spending too much amount of money. In a study conducted by Golden Valley – Annealed Group of Schools (2012) the school stated that: â€Å"The grades of each student, which is the traditional use when technology is not yet developed. Manual computation is very prompt to risk for any resistances. It is time consuming in terms of recording grades, computation using of calculator. If some records are lost, they never retrieve it in case of unexpected calamity. Accuracy and security is not been so defined in their manual system. (http://Stu dded. Com/essays/Grading-System-1232996. HTML) The said article/essay that manual computation is very risky, because there is a possibility of loses and damaging the documents. And it is time-taking when recording grades into the papers. So that, the proponents' proposed this system to avoid damaging & loses of information needed by the instructor. In as study conducted by possible Axes (2008) he stated that: â€Å"Upgrading the computer information system is not an option in this technology driven era: it is a requirement.Companies that use an up-to-date information system to gather, assimilate, and evaluate internal as well as external information are gaining competitive advantage over other firms. Management is quicker to cater customer's need and complaints. With the growth of communication networks, there are almost no barriers between the firm's management employees, customers and suppliers. Networks computing system have made new modes of work. (http://Studded. Com/essays/ni ne- Student-Information-system-1871749. HTML) The said article/essay that up-to-date system is more efficient to use, because all the information needed by the customer, employees etc. Is not a barrier by the system, because computerized system has a components to interact to us humans. So that, the proponents' proposed this study to help the user easily retrieved information needed. Local Studies In a study conducted by San Sebastian College Recollects (2011) the school stated that: â€Å"Began over 4 years ago; many things in this school have gone from manual to automate.And because a typical problem in a starting school are Grading Systems. I noticed that this systems does not exist in this school. Grading System means marking the task for professors in computing and calculating grades will become easy and not only that the professors will have an advantage but the student will also get a gain, because it will also improve accuracy of calculations thus making the what we call â €Å"Hula of Grades† will become non-existent in the future of San Sebastian Recollects. † (http://www. Studded. Com/essays/Computerized-Grading- Systematizes. Ml) The said article/essay that when the instructor is using a computerized grading system, their task as an instructor will be lessen because as we all know that computing of grades is not an easy work. So the proponents' proposed this study to help the user compute the grades of the students automatically. That: â€Å"One of the fastest growing institutions in the City of Basis will new opportunities rising continually in hundreds of different fields. System analyst matches the requirements of the school and set up an interview between the key people.Interviews are then conducted, and the candidates selected in the interview re one of the teachers of the basic education department. This project examines the issues related to Online Grading System that implements a web-based application composed of the Grade Sch ool and High School Department. This would create a system of reliable and accurate to compute grades in all different subjects in the Basic Education Department. A comparatively fast access of information of grades; generate reports, and information of the inputs of the teachers.This will be designed through web-based with the use of Myself as database management with the intent to generate reports. It helps the teachers minimize the time consumed in computing grades of the student using manual method. It also focused each of the underlying technologies used to create and implement the application. † (http:// www. Studded. Com/essays/Online-Grading-System-610544. HTML) The said article/ essay that when the instructor using a web-based grading system, the students will have an information regarding on the standing of their grades.And also, the instructor's is not able to use a calculator to compute the grades of each student, because it can be done by the system. So the propon ents' proposed this study to inform both students and parents regarding on the standing of the grades by the student. In a study conducted by the Informatics International Dilemma College (2012) the school stated that: â€Å"One of the fastest growing institutions with new opportunities rising continually in hundreds of different fields.This project examines the issues related to Online Grading System that implements a web-based application composed of the Grade School and High School Department.

HTML) The said article/essay that when the user which is the instructor use the online grading system, they will not be able to use the standard computing which is using a calculator. So that, the proponents' proposed this study to help the user to encode & retrieved the grades of each students in easy way. Synthesis The proponents believe that each and every literature and studies stated in this research is related on their proposed study.The proponents relate and differentiate the research based on the flow of their system analysis from the proposed study. And the proponents' believed that every literature and studies has their own existing system that they are using, even if it's manual or computerized system. The proponents' rely on both systems to improve the proposed study. Chapter Ill Materials and Methods This chapter includes the research design, respondents of study, data gathering lolls, statistical tools, system design and methods use in Developing the software used by the researcher to conduct the study.Research Design The resea rchers choose the Developmental (developing system) of materials and method. This Research design specifically designed to aid in the development of existing system and its interfaces. Respondents This study involves 10 students, 5 Faculty members, 1 Registrar and 1 Dean of CLC College of Japan, because the researchers want to know if the students will agree to the system main goal and aim to benefit for the convenience of the proposed yester.Because those students are in different year level and have different course, and they taking different subjects that are consists of the different grades and instructor that they will not able to know at all if they have problems or not regards to their academic performance. So the researchers will get accurate information about their research. And those instructors know what and how the grading system procedures so that the proponents will understand the flow of the proposed system. The proponents want to learn about how and the limits of the registrar and dean of he school in viewing students and instructors records.Data Gathering Procedure These are the instruments or tools for gathering data in research used as basis for drawing conclusions or making inferences. Some of these tools are based on observation, interview, survey, research and questionnaires used by the proponents as they conduct the proposed study. System Design System Flow Chart System Flowchart it is formalized graphic representation of a program logic sequence, work or manufacturing process, organizing chart, or similar formalized structure.It uses different symbols or shapes that represent the step by step procedure of the system connected by flow lines. Data Flow Diagram A data flow diagram (DVD) is a graphical representation of the â€Å"flow† of data through an information system, modeling its process aspects. Often they are a preliminary step used to create an overview of the system which can later be elaborated. It represents diagram whic h tells the flow of the system from the start until to the last procedure on how the user will use the system proposed by the proponents. Entity-Relationship DiagramAn Entity-Relationship Diagram (RED) is a logical representation of an organization's data. Entities – Major categories of data and are represented by rectangles. Attributes – Characteristics of entities and are listed within entity eclipses. And their Relationships listed and represented by diamonds. Methods used in Developing the Software System Development Life Cycle System Life Cycle is an organizational process of developing and maintaining systems. It helps in establishing a system project plan, because it gives overall list of processes and sub-processes required for developing a system.Chapter IV Results and Discussion Project Description Grading System with SMS Notification is a LANA-Based System. This system is composed of five aspects. 1) Accuracy – this system is accurate every time that the instructor needs to encode the grade of the student it is because this system has the capability to calculate the encoded scores correctly. 2) Time Management – this system is favorable to the instructor who wants to engaged in managing of their time, because this computerized grading system can make their time manageable, because their task will be lessen in computing the grades manually. Usable – this is very useful every time that the instructor need to compute the grade of each student because this system can stored data on the database which is secured and the losses of each data will be lessen compared to the manual computation of grades. 4) Easy to Use – it is understandable to use by the user because of the separation of interfaces of who are logged on in the system, the proponents separates the interface according on the task of the user. 5) Informed – every end of the term the students will receive a notification from this system according t o their status to be able for them to know about the status of their grades.The Grading System with SMS Notification has three interfaces according to the profession of the user. The instructor, has an interface to create, update and view the grades of each student. The Registrar, has an interface to view the grades of each student every end of the semester encoded by the instructor. The Dean, has the interface to view the grades of the student every end of the term. The Grading System with SMS Notification can send information according to the registered phone umber of the student on the system whether it is a personal phone number or the phone number of their guardian.

The Baylor University Concert Jazz Ensemble Directed By...

I attended the Baylor University Concert Jazz Ensemble directed by Alex Parker on Tuesday, November 10th. This ensemble consisted of saxes, trombones, trumpets, drums, a piano, and bass. The concert showcased many individual talents by including solo’s or duet’s in every song. The program consisted of seven songs with no intermission. The pieces I selected were â€Å"Big Dipper† by Thad Jones and â€Å"Undecided† by Frank Mantooth. The composition â€Å"Big Dipper† by Thad Jones consisted of a duet by Hunter Horby playing the tenor sax and Ryan McArthur playing the trumpet. The tone of the piece was in major. It had a happy feel to it and made you want to get up and dance. It was moderato in tempo, meaning it was an average pace of beats. It kicked off with a quick crescendo from mezzo piano, or medium soft, to forte, or loud. The tenor sax and the trumpet had the melody and the rest of the instruments were the background music for most of the piece however, the rest of the ensemble had their time to shine with the melody a couple of times. I felt as if I was in the 1950’s listening to swing music and jazz. The texture felt dancelike and brassy. Jones incorporated many accents and staccato markings throughout the composition. The song had many contrasts with pitches and dynamics. Most of the crescendo’s and decrescendo’s seemed to be directly related to the amount of instruments being played. If there was just one instrument playing and they started to increase in volume, the other

The impacts of the Enlightenment on the European Society

The impacts of the Enlightenment on the European Society The Enlightenment is also referred to as the Age of Reason. These names describe the period in America and Europe in the 1700s. During this period, man was emerging from the ignorance centuries into one that was characterized by respect for humanity, science, and reason.

Symbolism of the poems Essay Example For Students

Symbolism of the poems Essay Several motifs used by Keats and Shelley enhance the symbolism of the poems. The poets use several motifs to their command and therefore succeed in revealing their innermost thoughts to the readers. For instance, in Ode On A Grecian Urn, the urn is symbolic to the time which forever stays stagnant. Keats wants to compare the stillness in the world of art to his life. Since he is living on borrowed time, Keats is aware that every moment of his life counts. However since he knows that has a fast-fading life he pictures the vase not only as a piece of art but also as his idol. In a way Keats wants to imitate the stillness in the vase because the pictures of the two lovers cannot fade away. The nightingale is a symbol of freedom and ancestral royalty at the same time. Keats has presented the nightingale to his readers in a very favourable light. This is because according to Keats, the bird had served royalty and has forever existed. He sees the nightingale as an image of infinity. In a way, Keats pines to be in place of the bird because it expresses itself in an extremely graceful and melodious way. To Keats, the season of autumn is also figurative as it is like an ideal dream. Keats has depicted autumn as a season which is forever conspiring about how to load and bless life. We notice that it is not really nature that needs the blessings of autumn but Keats own life. The fruits which have been filled with a ripeness to the core, pose a paradox to Keats life which is supposed to be unfruitful and unproductive. Even the west wind used in Shelleys poem symbolizes the winds of change. Since Shelley has the enthusiasm to change the world, he summons the autumn wind to help him being over this change. Shelley wants to recognize himself as the master of the seasons. He is like a lion tamer who wants the ferocious winds to respond to his command. To Shelley the skylark is symbolic to freedom and symphony. In the poem, Shelley marvels the grace and elegance of the skylark. According to Shelley, the skylark showers a rain of melody. The skylark can be compared to the bird in Shelleys own mind which wants to venture to unseen areas and which wants to explore the different highs and lows of human nature. The skylark can also be compared to a symbol of life itself, which, if taken positively and with the right attitude is like a star of heaven. Thus to Shelley, the skylark is not only a motif of life but also a symbol of unexplored lands and unventured areas. The vivid use of imagery throughout the different poems attracts the readers interest and denotes the writers creativity. All of the poems are packed with imagery which not only shows their uniqueness but also the intensity and sophistication in the writers. Keats has used the imagery of intoxication to add a dreamy effect to his poems. Keats refers to the fume of poppies in To Autumn and to the hemlock and the draught of vintage in Ode To A Nightingale. This may suggest the clouded mind of a person drunk with his own thoughts. Also, it may signify the clouded mind of a patient suffering from tuberculosis. Keats also may have used these symbols as they signify his ultimate intoxication that awaits him-namely death. Along with these, there is an imagery of disease and sickness all throughout in Keats poems. He depicts the lover on the urn as suffering from a burning forehead and a parching tongue. .u33f2e64d6d61f38865fd7dd390df850c , .u33f2e64d6d61f38865fd7dd390df850c .postImageUrl , .u33f2e64d6d61f38865fd7dd390df850c .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u33f2e64d6d61f38865fd7dd390df850c , .u33f2e64d6d61f38865fd7dd390df850c:hover , .u33f2e64d6d61f38865fd7dd390df850c:visited , .u33f2e64d6d61f38865fd7dd390df850c:active { border:0!important; } .u33f2e64d6d61f38865fd7dd390df850c .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u33f2e64d6d61f38865fd7dd390df850c { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u33f2e64d6d61f38865fd7dd390df850c:active , .u33f2e64d6d61f38865fd7dd390df850c:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u33f2e64d6d61f38865fd7dd390df850c .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u33f2e64d6d61f38865fd7dd390df850c .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u33f2e64d6d61f38865fd7dd390df850c .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u33f2e64d6d61f38865fd7dd390df850c .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u33f2e64d6d61f38865fd7dd390df850c:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u33f2e64d6d61f38865fd7dd390df850c .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u33f2e64d6d61f38865fd7dd390df850c .u33f2e64d6d61f38865fd7dd390df850c-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u33f2e64d6d61f38865fd7dd390df850c:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Blood Brothers - The Narrator Essay This emphasizes Keats own position whilst suffering from his illness. Keats makes continual references to his sickness and sometimes the reader feels as though it is his wish to leave the world unseen. On the other hand, Shelley has used a number of positive images to add an aura of liveliness to his poems. He continuously uses the aspect of colour to add enthusiasm to his poetry. Shelley has used captivating images of the skylark soaring in the golden lightning of the sunken sun, and has also depicted the pale purple sky melting around the skylarks flight. These colours pose a sharp contrast as compared to the pale colours of yellow used by Keats to describe his ailment. Colours have also been used by Shelley to describe the different shades of autumn. Autumn has been portrayed as a picturesque scenario filled with yellow, and black, and pale and hectic red. We notice the vivid descriptions provided by Shelley to describe the fruitfulness of autumn. Linguistic details added by the poets make them more interesting to read as well as make the readers take notice of their ingenious writing skills. Both, Shelley and Keats have used alliteration to their advantage. Shelley calls upon the wild west wind to spread his ideas of change. This alliteration emphasizes the ferocity of the west wind and gives the wind an identity of being harsh. We also see that the alliterative phrase hear O hear is repeated all throughout the poem. These words demonstrate Shelleys plea to the west wind to lift him as a wave, a leaf, a cloud. Alliteration is also used by Keats in his poem Ode To A Nightingale, to highlight his grief. The self-same song of the nightingale shows that it has existed for generations and the same harmonious song has even found a way to the sad heart of Ruth. Keats uses Ruth as the typical icon of moaning. She is not only a symbol in his poems but also a metaphor. Keats compares himself to the moaning heart of Ruth and suggests that since the nightingale has cured the sadness of Ruth with its songs, it may also be able to relieve Keats of his misery. Keats has also used an image of Bacchus and his pards as a metaphor of intoxication. Since Bacchus is the Roman God of wine Keats in a way is requesting him to assuage his own anguished soul by giving him the intoxication to forget his woes. Both Keats and Shelley use personification to develop the presence of nature and give it some attributes. Keats personifies the season of autumn which is the close-bosom friend of the maturing Sun. he has sketched a picture of autumn in the minds of the reader and by looking at the season the picture of the mind revives again. (Tintern Abbey-William Wordsworth.) In contrast to Keats, Shelley represents the west wind as having violent qualities. According to Shelley, autumn has a wild spirit. The reason for the contrastsin the poets opinions about autumn may be caused due to their attitudes of human nature itself. Keats possesses mellowness in his character as compared to Shelley who is greatly affected by the world and is passionate to change it. Shelley has also drawn up a similarity between the skylark and a cloud of fire. He compares the skylark to fire because just like himself, even the skylark has a fiery keenness to fill the world with optimism. Both the poets use irregular end rhymes in the poems to give it a continuous tone and flow. In addition to the rhymes, Keats also uses a variety of onomatopaeic sounds, in particular the O sounds. In Ode To A Nightingale he combines the rhyming words known and groan along with the word sorrow. These words make it seem as though life for Keats is a recurrent, monotonous drone. Even Shelly uses onamatopaeia to summon the wind. He says the words O wind as if he worships and gives it a god-like status. .u2cad340dcbb90201bba2cba9b19012ad , .u2cad340dcbb90201bba2cba9b19012ad .postImageUrl , .u2cad340dcbb90201bba2cba9b19012ad .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u2cad340dcbb90201bba2cba9b19012ad , .u2cad340dcbb90201bba2cba9b19012ad:hover , .u2cad340dcbb90201bba2cba9b19012ad:visited , .u2cad340dcbb90201bba2cba9b19012ad:active { border:0!important; } .u2cad340dcbb90201bba2cba9b19012ad .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u2cad340dcbb90201bba2cba9b19012ad { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u2cad340dcbb90201bba2cba9b19012ad:active , .u2cad340dcbb90201bba2cba9b19012ad:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u2cad340dcbb90201bba2cba9b19012ad .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u2cad340dcbb90201bba2cba9b19012ad .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u2cad340dcbb90201bba2cba9b19012ad .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u2cad340dcbb90201bba2cba9b19012ad .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u2cad340dcbb90201bba2cba9b19012ad:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u2cad340dcbb90201bba2cba9b19012ad .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u2cad340dcbb90201bba2cba9b19012ad .u2cad340dcbb90201bba2cba9b19012ad-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u2cad340dcbb90201bba2cba9b19012ad:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Essay On Conformity The Crucible By Arthur MillerKeats also uses the techniques of pathetic fallacy to give his poems an added dimension of pain. He tries to make nature sympathise with his woes by talking to it as if it were a friend. This can clearly be seen in the poem Ode To A Nightingale where he is almost envious of the nightingales position and wants to fly into its world. The poets also touch upon various sense impressions. The west wind in Shelleys poem is wild and harsh, appealing to the sense of touch. Shelley inwardly tells the readers that the west winds can either damage with its roughness or soothe with its nursing spirit. Keats also notices the bare beauty in the colours of autumn and personifies it as a maiden whose hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind. This alliterative phrase brings out the gentleness of autumn and also reveals that Keats has blended the multiple techniques of personification, alliteration as well as the sense of sight. In conclusion, these poems are interwoven with the deepest human thoughts. Even though they have been written with subtlety they convey the thoughts, the views of life and the perspectives of the poets. In addition they also teach us to adore and admire Gods creative genius and artistry. Through the poems we learn that in life there are many things that we ignore and even take for granted. Therefore these poems give the message that we have to start taking notice of things and start valuing all we have before it starts slipping. Even though these poems have been written way back in the eighteenth century, they still hold a lot of relevance in todays age. They pose a paradox for the older generation who worshipped and noticed every shade of nature against the newer and more unconventional times where nature is just another object. The nature, which has inspired millions of romantics, poets, art-lovers and even writers, is now widely subject to devastation from all areas such as widespread air pollution, the greenhouse effect and the overall to destruction of the ecology. Thus the poems instill in us a sense of responsibility not only towards nature but every creation of God. The two poets reach out to different depths of the human mind and give us some eternal and timeless messages of life and its various manifestations. Everything in life is speaking in spite of its apparent silence. (Hazrat Inayat Khan).
