Color Analysis & Season Analysis

Color Analysis & Season Analysis

Color Analysis

To make an imaginary world seem real, an author often makes use of words and phrases that appeal to the senses: sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. A well-written description should arouse a particular response or emotion in the reader’s imagination. One way to use imagery in poems is using figurative language. For example, colors. We choose black & white as a pair of colors.

Season Analysis

The reincarnation of the four seasons has left many exclamations to poets at all times and in all countries year after year. Poems with seasonal words as images are everywhere. Because of the consistency of the natural characteristics of the four seasons in different places, the implied meaning of the “four seasons” image in poetry has many similarities. Some poets often use “four seasons”, while others only like “spring” or “winter”. The choice preferences of different poets indirectly reflect the characteristics of poets.
