My view of the modern theme of industrial and mechanization is horrible, abusive, and not innocent. These films show me how abusive humans are to  others and animals. Mass production is unhealthy because how can you make so much in good conditions. They have people slavering over these machines like they are apart of them. Factories are huge and may need many workers who are desperate for a job but can not live their dream. I relate to the films because I recognize that we work to get paid not because its are passion.

Roald Dahl 

            He uses dramatic irony to help develop his stories all the way to the end. He takes any situation to make interesting having us waiting to know what really happened. Dahl goes into depth with his characters with many detail describing them letting us know a most about their appearance and personality. Dahl uses many techniques in our interest. Some literary devices he uses in his stories are Characterization, conflict, foreshadowing, imagery, and definitely irony. The climax is usually when he enters his plot twist.

Tennyson in my point of view valued the perishable real world. It was real stuff he wrote about affecting his life instead of the fantasy of a timeless world. Everything has an ending, everyone will sure value and accept the reality before they are gone. He values what really can happen or is happening not the non existent future.
When you continue to educate yourself it opens your eyes to other discoveries you did not mean to run into.

He describes the nature he has been surrounded by before in the graves the bones were collected from. He says his creation was beautiful but only his way of beautiful. His creation had long black hair along with black straight lips and was huge. The human body can be apart of nature and beauty. The progress he explains he had to go through on his own makes it obvious he stuck to what he wanted to do or be. "...I was thus engaged heart and soul, in one pursuit". Some of that individual progress included his father encouraging him most of the way. The sickness did not stop any progress.

The settings of the poems the poets describe in a exotic way represent the Romantics. They give us an image to understand their surroundings at the time. The nature that they go deeply into details is almost like a fantasy they create.

              The mariner's lifelong penance was to get his story out. He will spread his words of wisdom and warn the other of his depression and how to avoid it. The Mariner tells his listeners to respect everything of God. He will preach this forever. The listener's are happy because they can view the world in a different view. They have his story to look back to and see how it may get worse.

           Our modern society is accurately described in "The World Is Too Much With Us". People today do not appreciate the nature that surrounds us or any given opportunities and we do not realize it until it is too late. We make ourselves useless to the world. People are to focus on the wrong things and are too busy to stop and take in the overwhelming world. Like the speaker said we have sold our souls to whatever it is. Modern society has completely ignored nature and it's beauty.
