Robinson described his childhood as stark and unhappy. After high school, Robinson spent two years studying at Harvard University as a special student and his first poems were published in the Harvard Advocate. The types of poems he created were "The Torrent and the Night Before", "The Children of the Night," "The Town Down the River," and "The Man Against the Sky," which brought him critical acclaim and made him recognized and successful.]]> 2018-04-20 16:53:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jonah_286/lpyem7x4dwj2/wish/253914169 jonah_286 https://padlet.com/jonah_286/lpyem7x4dwj2/wish/253920399 https://www.britannica.com/biography/Edwin-Arlington-Robinson]]> 2018-04-20 17:06:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jonah_286/lpyem7x4dwj2/wish/253920399 jonah_286 https://padlet.com/jonah_286/lpyem7x4dwj2/wish/256396442 What the character says?
"For auld lang syne." This phrase meaning, "for old times sake," Eben sings this as he marches down the hill remembering people once welcoming him with open arms, but now cast him aside.

What the character think?
"Well, Mr. Flood,we have not met like this
In a long time; and many a change has come 
To both of us, I fear, since last it was
We had a drop together. Welcome Home!" Eben feels as though he isn't the man he once was, and now remembering this side of him feels uneasy and different.

ex: "Then, as a mother lays her sleeping child 
        Down tenderly, fearing it may awake,
        He set the jug down slowly at his feet
        With trembling care, knowing that most things break;
This evidence gives non human characteristics from holding a break with care and caution, to a bottle that can easily fall and break if not held with firm grip. 

allusion - the writer or speaker refers either directly or indirectly to a person, event, or thing in history or to a work of art or literature.
ex: "It stood, as the uncertain lives of men 
      Assuredly did not."
This evidence gives the allusion of a bottle staying up and maintaining stability while some people in life give up and lose their stability.

Simile - comparing one or two things using the words "like" or "as."
ex: "Alone, as if enduring to the end
      A valiant armor of scarred hopes outworn."
This compares the protagonist to how alone he is to a armor of scared hopes being outworn]]> 2018-04-30 04:47:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jonah_286/lpyem7x4dwj2/wish/256398895 jonah_286 https://padlet.com/jonah_286/lpyem7x4dwj2/wish/256400918 The protagonist is walking down a hill alone and drunk of liquor because he feels he isn't the same man he once was. He was once a well-known and respected man, welcomed by everyone in town, but now feels emptiness. As he walks down the hill, he salutes the harvest moons, the bird on the wing, and old times.
"And there was nothing in the town below - Where strangers would have shut the many doors that many friends had opened long ago."]]> 2018-04-30 05:07:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jonah_286/lpyem7x4dwj2/wish/256400918 jonah_286 https://padlet.com/jonah_286/lpyem7x4dwj2/wish/256401676 The difference between Eben flood and Willy Loman are, Eben may be a lonely person, but Willy has a family who are trying their best to help him out. Eben is a drunk man while Willy wants success in his life." Willy: What are you trying to do, blame it on me? If a boy lays down is that my fault? Bernard: Well Willy, don't get.. Willy: Well don't - don't talk to me that way! What does that mean, what happened?" This textual evidence suggests how Willy wants to be successful in life, but believes as though Bernard neglects that and feels he doesn't understand. "Below him, in the town among the trees, Where friends of other days had honored him, A phantom salutation of the dead." This textual evidence suggests how Eben is now neglected by everyone else and now lives his life alone.

Some similarities they have are both feel as though society threw them out and isolated them, both feel like their lives were worth living but now they feel left out, and both aren't respected from others. "Biff: why is he dying? Linda: He's been trying to kill himself." " There was not much that was ahead of him, And there was nothing in the town below  - where strangers would shut the many doors that many friends has once opened long ago." Both textual evidences suggest how both are living their lives in deep depression and despair. Both knowing that society cast them aside and now they don't know what to do. ]]> 2018-04-30 05:15:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jonah_286/lpyem7x4dwj2/wish/256401676
