He and his family moved and lived in Maine in 1870 in a place which was renamed "Tilbury Town." Tilbury town was the backdrop for his poems and Edwin Robinson was an edgy child as he was questioning his existence at the age of 6. After high school he went to Harvard for two years. His first poems were published by the Harvard Advocate. ]]> 2018-04-20 17:20:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jose_734264/cbbn0v9oyzzo/wish/253926920 jose_734264 https://padlet.com/jose_734264/cbbn0v9oyzzo/wish/256320791 The protagonist of Mr Flood's Party Eben Flood, is traveling up a hill so lonely that he is talking to himself while tipsy as if there were another person traveling along side him. "Well, Mr Flood, Since you propose it, I believe I will." Eben Flood is almost having his inner thoughts remembering the past that he used to enjoy. "Below him, in the town among the trees, Where friends of other days had honored him." Eben Flood's inner thoughts are coming up as he stares off in the distant. ]]> 2018-04-29 17:07:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jose_734264/cbbn0v9oyzzo/wish/256320791 jose_734264 https://padlet.com/jose_734264/cbbn0v9oyzzo/wish/256322286 Literary elements used within Mr Flood's Party are alliteration, and assonance. The poem uses alliteration in the third verse with "scarred, stood, silent..." Also in the third verse assonance can also be seen as "alone, A valiant, armor, winding, silent"]]> 2018-04-29 17:24:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jose_734264/cbbn0v9oyzzo/wish/256322286 jose_734264 https://padlet.com/jose_734264/cbbn0v9oyzzo/wish/256322778 Eben Flood's discontentment can be analyzed immediately in the beginning of the poem as he is a very lonely man. He then travels up a hill to look down at his memories in which he had friends and journeys. In the second verse of the poem we can see that Eben Flood is talking to himself. "Well, Mr Flood, have the harvest moon again,..." Mr Flood pretending to be someone hes talking to. Later on in the poem we can see it again "Well, Mr. Flood we have not met like this in a long time... We had a drop together. Welcome home!" One of his internal conflicts being there is not one person willing to be with him or assists him, "There was not much ahead of him, and there was nothing in the town below, Where strangers would have shut the many doors that many friends had opened long ago." He is a lonely drunk from other's rejections and inhumane hospitality.]]> 2018-04-29 17:30:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jose_734264/cbbn0v9oyzzo/wish/256322778 jose_734264 https://padlet.com/jose_734264/cbbn0v9oyzzo/wish/256323639 Mr Eben Flood and Willy Loman have quite the amount of similarities upon further inspection. Both Eben Flood and Willy Loman have almost crippling loneliness. The two of them have began talking to themselves as they wander aimlessly to wherever they move forward to "Old Eben Flood, climbing alone one night..." . Willy being the top business man appreciated by all and other friends, is now not noticed nor is does he receive the treatment he longed for "If I had forty dollars a week — that’s all I’d need. Forty dollars, Howard." . Eben Flood remembering his past, to his friends that helped those in the town below, no longer open their doors to Mr Flood that was once friends with all but now he gets doors shut in front of him where friends would have opened long before. ]]> 2018-04-29 17:41:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jose_734264/cbbn0v9oyzzo/wish/256323639
