The difference between the metaphysical and cavalier?

Metaphysical poetry refers to a style of poetry associated with 17th-century English poets, characterized by complex and intellectual themes, unconventional metaphors, and wit. Cavalier poetry, on the other hand, is a style of poetry popular during the same period known for its elegance, clarity, and themes of love, beauty, and chivalry. While both styles emerged during the same historical period, they differ in their themes, style, and approach to poetry.

Benefits of science?

Before answering your question, a little detour is required about what is really science: Science is inductive reasoning. To explain what inductive reasoning is, I will use an example: All trees loose their leaves at the end of autumn. How did we come to this conclusion? We observed hundreds of trees at the end of autumn and all lost their leaves. Therefore, because we saw these hundreds trees lose their leaves we assume that all trees loose their leaves. This inductive reasoning is incorrect because we know that some trees do not loose their leaves [Also known as evergreen]. But the point is: 1> Someone had an idea 2> It was not perfect but he was not afraid to run with it 3> It turned out that the hypothesis [scientific guess] was partially correct. 4> From this other scientists further perfected this theory giving us an understanding of this phenomenon 5> It made us wonder wheter all trees are evergreen Conclusion about inductive reasoning Many times what we think is roughly correct, but not entirely. The whole point of science is to give an understanding of the world and the universe: How it works, what rules apply, and what are exceptions. Now you could ask: Why this all was necessary to write down? To answer the rethorical question: So you could understand that science is not like a lightbulb that you just turn on and voila! Everything is perfect! Its a process which is infinite. Now that you understand what science is I possibly can give you a clue to a benefit of science by making a paralell to the evolution of science. Science requires critical thinking. This can be linked to the evolution of our brain. However there is a critical question. Did we get smarter because we started to think critically, or did we start to think critically because we get smarter? In both ways we can conclude science has contributed a lot to our mental cognitive thinking AKA Thinking outside the box. I could endlessly enlist the benefit of science in various areas, such as in medicine it brought us prolonged life, and at the same time new diseases. In biology we understand now most of the human physiology and the function of many structures. This list could go on endlessly and it would prove one thing. Science is an evolution. Humans with the help of science artificially speeded up their own evolution. That is the major benefit of science. If you think about all the inventions they can be brought back to three things: Power, Knowledge and Evolution. Power: There were always those who wanted power and the evolution of science made that possible. Weapons, H-bomb, etc... all goes here Knowledge: We are a curious race. We always wished to understand how things work. Why? The more you know about something the more you feel in control. Human physiology, astronomy etc... Evolution: We got smarter, Things needed to be better. Science came along. As i have said before: You can go on the internet and find all these wonderful ideas about what is the benefit of science. The list is endless. There is one key benefit of science however: evolution


The School Boy summary?

The poem " The School Boy" was written by William Blake, it is part of his " Songs of Innocence" published in 1789. In the poem the poet talks about a child that wakes up in the morning and all the hapiness he feels disapears when he realizes that he has to go to school. The main theme is the sorrow that the boy feels having to go to school, when he wants to enjoy summer. He has the obligation to go to a close space, but he wants to go outside. Another theme is nature, the freedom that it represents for the boy and the opression of the class. This repression is also represented by the boy´s parents who force him to go there. It is written in first person, the word "I" is quite present in the poem and refers to Blake himself. In my opinion, the author, William Blake, when he wrote the poem as an adult, he still remembered an experience of his childhood. He wrote the poem from a child´s viewpoint. He wrote his child feelings in a summer morning and in a way, he complaint to his parents. Maybe, now he as an adult has voice and he uses it, because if you are a child everybody ignores you. Taking into account that this book is written for children, Blake knows that children may feel in the same way as him and can help them. According to the tone,the poem can be divided in three parts: - 1st stanza, when the child wakes up and is happy - 2nd and 3rd when he feels sorrows because he cannot enjoy - the rest, it is a kind of claim directed to the reader in general or to his parents So, the poem starts in a very positive way, but this only happens in the beginning. Then, it changes radically and the tone is very pesimistic. We are aware of the boy´s feelings, he passes from joy to sorrow. The poem is structured in 6 stanzas, with 5 lines each one. The rhyme is : 1st line with 3rd , and 2nd with 4th and 5th (ababb).The lines are no longer than 10 syllables, they vary between 6 to 10. There are some key images present in the poem. The first I have found and I think is central in the poem, is the image of the birds.Blake uses the bird as if it was the child himself. The birds sing happily when they are free, but if they are in a cage they cannot do it the same way. In the same way the boy feels, he is imprisoned at school. Another image is the summer time, the boy sees summer as a way of being free, but instead of being outside, he is in a class. For him it is winter, because he cannot enjoy the good weather as nature does in summer. This images serve to contrast the reality of the boy and his real desires. There are also other features as the continuous contrast between outside-inside, summer-winter,joy-sorrow,... Some exclamatios :O! Ah! that contribute to create the tone of sorrow of the boy. And something important in the poem are the rethorical questions that are half of the poem. The boy aks those questions trying to get answers, because he does not understand why he has to go to school. He wants an answer or maybe a solution to it. When I first read the poem I identified with the school boy, and I think that everyone can feel the same way. You get up in the morning and you are happy, but then you remember that you have to go to school and it is a very sad feeling like that. You are not able to do what you want , you have to go to school, and there you don´t pay very much attention to the lessons.Time passes very slow and the class never ends. And this feeling may be worst if the classes are in summer. When this happens who do you blame for? Your parents, as the boy does. So, in general this is a poem that can be read and understood easily, if you are a child or ever if you are older.
