My chosen painting and poem is Dido Elizabeth Belle.
The poet used the alternation between movement and stillness that seems to be visible in the painting by Dido pointing to her cheek and Elizabeth putting her hand towards her, to convey many different stories and possibilities through her poem: One of the possible stories is Elizabeth, her uncle, and the painter all like her for different reasons, and Elizabeth is blocking her from leaving the place in the painting because she wants to protect her from the real world, where she will be treated unkindly because of her race. Two, Dido could be moving/running in the poem because she wants to move on in life, and " Elizabeth reaching a hand. Behave, cousin,
she begs." means that Elizabeth doesn't want her to leave..

The poem focuses on the movement of the two women and that they were moving. The poem also talked about the girlhood and their stupidness, with a ending with a touch about slavery.

This poem described the picture as though it was a scenario. It helps people understand the feeling of alone and a sense of spying in the all of Edward Hopper's paintings. From the poem, it described the house, ashamed of itself, and abandoned-the rails was rusted in front of the house, and the person spying, and being rude(the house thinks so) is the author itself.

This poem is about Dido wanting to explore more outside of the place she's been kept in and Elizabeth doesn't want her to leave. Elizabeth knows about the slave trade and knows that if Dido leave she'll be mistreated because of her race. I think she's trying to protect Dido by keeping her in within the walls, making her believe that nothing is wrong outside those walls. Since the poem mentions that Dido is "cocky, stupid about reality" that might mean that Elizabeth is afraid that she might do something that may harm her.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the poem is focusing on two different political sides, one is abolishing slavery, and one is shaming the slaves. We can also see from the poem that Elizabeth cares about Dido because she is begging dido to not leave.

# data[].attributes.body
This poem is trying to make us think about dido and elizabeth, I think that in the poem elizabeth is being racist to dido because of her skin colour. She also tells dido to behave making her sound like she's talking to a slave.

This poem focuses on how Elizabeth is trying to protect Dido. In the house, Dido is treated with care and love, but in the outside world, she won't be treated that nicely because of her race and her skin color. Elizabeth wants to prevent all of those and keep her in the walls, where people are nice to her and she won't have to face the mean comments. In the poem, it talks about triangles and seas, which is basically the triangular trade and slaves. The last part of the poem, which Elizabeth begs "Behave, cousin. Don't run away from me" Probably means that Dido has been kept in the same place for too long, and wants to go out to the real world, but Elizabeth wants to prevent her from going out and facing all the mean and hateful comments.

I think that this house is a reflection of the painter's own feelings.

# data[].attributes.body
From the poem "Edward Hopper and the House by the Railroad", we can interpret that the house, abandoned, isolated, and vacant, symbolises the harsh conditions during the revolution of America. People, just like the house, were abandoned from society, lonely and filled with melancholy. Personification, which is widely used in this poem, gives readers an uneasy feeling about the house. "The house is ashamed of itself." is an example of this, causing readers to wonder about what the house has done. Imagery is also widely used in this poem. For example, "Straightening into the distance. No trains pass." This causes the readers to feel as if life is removed from that area, and as if the whole earth has abandoned that area. The poem is generally ambiguous, as there are many unanswered questions and wonders through the process of reading the poem.
Overall, this poem expresses a strong feeling of isolation and depression, reacting to the harsh era of the Americans.

The poem is an interesting take on the awkwardness of the situation. It is interesting because it uses personification to describe how the house, train track, etc. feel.

This painting looks like it was made definitely not in the 2000s, you can tell because the house looks old and destroyed, you can also see railroad tracks, that look rusty. Maybe it was made during a war either way it's still a house.

This poem is trying to make us get attention of Dido and not anything else. But I think the white girl is being racist to Dido. Mainly because she tells Dido to stay. Making it sound like a demand.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a poem talks about an abandoned dull grey mansion. The artist of this painting made many similar projects of sad depressing scenarios. And maybe this poem was made during American histories such as the great depression or WW2. The mansionis behind an old rusty railroad that no one stops at anymore. Back in that century, Railroads were very common and were built everywhere by the British.

Even though they didn't say much about the dog, believe that the dog has been biting on the woman's dress. He is probably hungry and therefore underfed, which is a form of animal abuse. "And the terrier at our feet sniffs" This is a under exaggerated statement.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the poem's alternation between movement and stillness is not trying to represent a political fact at all.  I think the poem could be talking about two things: One,  Elizabeth, her uncle, and the painter all like her for different reasons, and Elizabeth is blocking her from leaving the place in the painting because she wants to protect her from the real world, where she will be treated unkindly because of her race. Two, Dido could be moving/running in the poem because she wants to move on in life, and " Elizabeth reaching a hand. Behave, cousin,
she begs." means that Elizabeth doesn't want her to leave.

I think this poem is focusing on the slavery problem that is happening during that time. I believe that is true because in the poem there was a sentence "don't run away from me", which I think is about how Elizabeth doesn't want Dido to go away to see how the true world is and stay in the house and keep going with the life she is living here.

This poem targets the movement in between Dido and Elizabeth. Elizabeth gestures Dido to not leave. Dido wants to experience the public world as a black girl and Elizabeth is trying to hold her back.

I think that the poem's beginning is trying to tell us readers of how there are many secrets in the Arnolfini family that aren't meant to be told and to not interfere with their privacy, and so this is also why the painting itself is such a big mystery to us, with many components in it that leads to many questions. The poem also focuses on the whole concept of "we". "We are the Arnolfini's. Do not think you may invade. Our privacy because you may not."

# data[].attributes.body
The poem shows that the authors think the arnofini's are very rude.
"Do not think you may invade
Our privacy because you may not." That is a rude statement because no one ever asked, and they were the ones who made a painter paint them.

Focuses mainly on Dido

I feel the ending to this poem does not relate to the poem at all, which makes it confusing and makes you rethink what the poem is trying to say.

The poet described the house as a soul that seemed hate being stared at, like a soul that wanted to be left alone.

this poem focuses on dido more than elizabeth and elizabeth is jealous.
Justification: "don't run away from me"
this is the last line when elizabeth talks to dido. I think this means she wasn't dido to stay in line.

This poem has caught the couple in the middle of something

The ending of this poem doesn't make relation to the rest of the poem, and lacks of sense. The last two lines of the poem says "Here you have it: The two halves of the coconut." (22-23) In the rest of the poem, coconuts were never mentioned. Neither do they relate to what the rest of the poem was talking about. The rest of the poem focused on the Arnolfinis, and how they want to present themselves to "do justice" to the things that they have.

This poem focuses on the dog. In the poem, the poem specifically mentions the dog as "...an Alsatian shepherd dog tied to your handlebars", and in the drawing the dog is drawn directly in the front middle, the "prime location" of the drawing. At that time, after some further research, I found out that dogs in medieval times were an important symbol of "courtly majestic and pure love", which is very important in the drawing.

This poem is racist by describing Dido's looks.

Thesis statement: This poem has irony

Justification: “Dido, his coquette of deep-dish...forget history” is telling Dido to forget his past, but then further into the poem, it talks about Dido’s past, for example, “her uncle dressed her with care...triangles and seas” is talking about how Dido’s past was like, which contradicts with the phrase, “forget history”

# data[].attributes.body
This poem is not very interesting, because of the usage of repetitive language.

The most relaxing word in our vocabulary is "we".

Imagine being able to say "we".

Most people are in no position to say "we".

(Durcan 16-19)

The word “we” has been used a lot, and it doesn’t seem as if it is really effective in terms of making the poem better (made it worse, actually).

This poem focuses on Dido instead of Elizabeth

We can see this from the phrase  "The painter worships the quickened other." This refers to Dido. The painter focused on Dido and therefore, because the poet is painting the painting, the poem also focuses on Dido.

This poem has a lot of descriptions of scenery, which makes it interesting and fun to read.

This poem suggests that Dido is just like any other teenager her age.
In lines 15-19,
"Forget history.

She's a teenager... Cocky, stupid about reality."

The poet says that "forget history", which means forget about her racial background. Because besides that she is, "Cocky, stupid about reality." just like other teenagers. This is because most teenagers her age are very carefree and do not act very maturely.

The poem is about the injustice between rich and poor people.

The line of "To do justice to our life as a reflection" means that the Arnolfinis want "justice" as they have wealth, and their reflection, which are the poor, should not have "justice", as they are poor and do not deserve the "justice". So, the line of "To do justice to our life as a reflection" simply means that the Arnolfinis think that their life is good, and that it is a reflection of the life that the poor have.

This poem is actually not about the painting itself and therefore its title is misleading and the poem is only about "Edward Hopper"

This house may suggest that it is haunted because it is completely deserted and nobody ever comes. The painter comes and the house is worried that he has come to inspect the house, so it is embarrassed to host such entities.

The poem is trying to make us get attention to Dido and not the other women. The painting mainly focuses on the two princess and I think it is expressing equality

This poem attempt to give a voice to a historical figure, but she may have already had one.

Honorée Fanonne Jeffers talks a lot in her poem about "an unkind contrast" (Honorée Fanonne Jeffers 9) between Dido and the girl next to her. Pointing out what she thought Dido would want to say to the world regarding the idea of racism. The poem suggests that as a black person, Dido would have a disadvantage while she was alive. Yet what the poem doesn't point out, is the fact that she was accepted by the British and would've had enough money to make a change in the world.

Honorée Fanonne Jeffers is also an American poet and would have had a different point of view than Dido would. By giving Dido a voice that she thought Dido needed. Therefore, what the poem explains could not have been her actual view of her situation.
