The theory of foregrounding is probably the most important theory within stylistic analysis, and foregrounding analysis is arguably the most important part of the stylistic analysis in poetry. And it is realized through linguistic deviation and linguistic parallelism.This paper aims at exploring the aspects foregrounding inE.E.Cummings' " Love is a place" and Lord Alfred Tennyson's " Now sleeps the crimson petal, now the white."

enormous risks in a period where that was not common. In the early 19th century, tradition and habit were a big part of people’s everyday lives. Literature and poetry were huge parts of this too. But what happens when someone comes around and changes all of this? That is what happened when EE Cummings started publishing his own unique variety of poetry in the 1940s and 50s.

Cuban Rumba vs. Harawi, Carnaval, and Yaravi of Peru. Music in Latin America greatly varies from region to the region, country to country. The reason for such diversity is the fact that starting with colonization almost all the indigenous musical traditions were influenced if not completely forlorn by the European (Especially Hispanic), African and Asian cultures and their representatives from all over the world.

prosperous citizens of Zenith. His motor car was poetry and tragedy, love and heroism” (Babbitt, 22). In the novel, Babbitt, this quote represents the idea that every person loves their car to a wild extent. The words “poetry, tragedy, love, and heroism” portray the idea that Babbitt’s automobile is very important to him. The author uses diction to show the character’s affection for his car. “Babbitt attaches fantasized notions of poetry, tragedy, love, and heroism to a material possession because his
Hosseini was very much interested in Persian Poetry, especially those of Omar Khayyam, Abdul-Qadir Bedil and his most favorite book was Divan-e-Hafez.

The theory of eco-criticism is broad, comprehensive and apt enough to lend its application to all sorts of nature writings of all ages and times. It is not a method of analysis or interpretation but a redefined area of research and rediscovery. Most of the work in the theory’s jurisdiction has been pursued in the USA, where a special emphasis has been given to Native American folklore and literature; but much eco-critical work has also been devoted to the English Romantic tradition notably by the
while in Strange Meeting (1919), Wilfred Owen uses realistic and unpleasant aspects to describe deadly experiences on the battlefield, Alan Seeger glorifies the patriotic ideal of dying in war in I Have a Rendezvous with Death (1917).
