"Metaphor" by Sylvia Plath
The tone of the poem "Metaphor" by Sylvia Plath is very sad. The tragic behavior of society toward over weight women is shown in the poem when the narrator compare her self to an elephant. The speaker is very concerned about her weight in the poem."This loaf's big with its yeasty rising" in line five the speaker is comparing her self to the loaf which is big due to yeast rising. This shows speaker is over weight like big loaf of bread. The movie "Precious" by Lee Daniells is similar to the poem "Metaphor" because it showed how a 16 year old over weight teen faced abuse,difficulties in her life. The precious lives happily after she took custody of her babies from her mother who wanted to keep them so she can have the money from the well fare. People should have courage like precious to take life in to their own hands rather then someone else to abuse and take advantage of misery and dependence of others. The poem and movie reflect the real life experiences of women face today in society which can be solved to promote peace and harmony in the world.

So Very Beat
Allusion makes it easy for the people understand a poem. Making people think and interpret the poem make it very interesting. “The Second Coming” by William Butler Yeats and “The Howl” by Allen Ginsberg give allusion in the poem to make people reflect upon their lives and give them hope of changing it. The evil world which is full of war and poverty make people wait for someone to liberate like narrator say “Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?” referring to Jesus who was born in Bethlehem and changed the world by brining revolution in the society by talking about injustice and change peoples lives. The book "Harry Poter the Prisionar of Azkaban" By J.k Rowling is similar to the poems becouse the Harry in the poem bring change in the life of people by killing the evil guys who disrup the peace in his school.

Rebels with Cause
The modern style of poems is very simple yet very thought provoking for its reader. The William uses eating plum and ice box to symbolize his relationship with his wife. The various types of ideas its reader get makes the poem very unique. The William's poem is about husband and wife relationship and Lucian’s poem is about personal gender pride. Tone of the William’s poem is sad tone. The Lucian’s poem has a happy tone. The conceit of the "This is Just To Say" is the broken relationship of the husband with wife as Speaker says about the plums and pointing to his wife that "they are so sweet and so cold". It shows the unhappy relationship of the couple. The conceit of the Lucian’s poem is the women control of men by her beautiful body shape as speaker talks about her hips in the poem.
"This is just to say" by William Carlos William and "My Hips" by Lucille Clifton are rebellious poems because they show what the speaker is doing is unacceptable as social norm. In the William's poem the Husband is rebelling against his wife by eating the plums without her permission and in Lucille's poem the speaker is rebellious against the social norm which makes women to stay at home by saying "they don't fit into the petty places".
"Queensland police corrupt search warrant racket" video by 7 News Australia shows how police is rebellious against the people who are against the corruption by harassing them and get fake search warrants to silence those who speak against corruption. This video is very similar to the William’s poem but not to the Lucian’s poem because it shows the broken relationship of the police with society.
