We met almost two years ago
in the awkwardness,
don't know each other.
We thought that we are in tune
after opened the conversation
and followed the lectures together.
Now we must separated from you
one-half years before our goal comes true,
the graduation day.
It was sudden, too sudden.
Feel powerless to ask the tears stop flowing,
but we must be wise to face the truth.
We believe in this bond
So we'll keep it lasting forever
in our mind and heart.
You are still our friend,
the best from the most best.
Wherever you stand we are always there behind you.
Give you the power
to conquer all the challenges
and see you get the trophy.
Bye-bye our beloved friend.
This farewell greeting is just for awhile.
Promise to us if we will meet again someday.

Four seasons
Hi, Azure!
Do not hide the bouquet of white roses from me
Show me and Earth will change them into the rosy one
Or Moon will keep the sun hide in the east all day.
I dare you!
Welcome, Azure!
Help me to find the way
I cannot open the heaven's gate by my hands
Heavy to pull, but light to push.
I dare you!
Goodbye, Azure!
It's too long for the Glacier waiting the Iceberg melted
Without sunlight and the wind gust
Neither winter nor summer between spring and fall.
I love you!

Analysis of I Like For You To Be Stil poetry
I Like For You To Be Still by Pablo Neruda
I like for you to be still: it is as though you were absent,
and you hear me from far away and my voice does not touch you.
It seems as though your eyes had flown away
and it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth.
As all things are filled with my soul
you emerge from the things, filled with my soul.
You are like my soul, a butterfly of dream,
and you are like the word Melancholy.
I like for you to be still, and you seem far away.
It sounds as though you were lamenting, a butterfly cooing like a dove.
And you hear me from far away, and my voice does not reach you:
Let me come to be still in your silence.
And let me talk to you with your silence
that is bright as a lamp, simple as a ring.
You are like the night, with its stillness and constellations.
Your silence is that of a star, as remote and candid.
I like for you to be still: it is as though you were absent,
distant and full of sorrow as though you had died.
One word then, one smile, is enough.
And I am happy, happy that it's not true.
Paraphrase of the Poem
Persona feels that someone who persona loves never showed his/her love feeling to persona with words or verbal communication. That thing makes persona difficult to know and understand about him/her, which are his/her feeling or condition. Persona also feels that there is a far distance between persona and the person who persona loves, although this person is near from persona. But although all that things have happened, persona never changed persona’s feeling to him/her. Persona still keep that feeling in persona’s heart; love him/her from the bottom of persona’s heart and considering him/her as persona’s soul mate. Sometimes persona feels afraid because sometimes persona thinks that silent means that the person who persona loves feel sad/unhappy. Then persona tries to understand about that with read the situation, not with asking him/her. Because persona knows that he/her will not answer or tell to persona about what exactly he/she feels. Persona also tries to communicate with him/her not with talking to him/her, but persona tries to communicate with action that persona do to show persona’s care. Sometimes persona feels that persona still couldn’t reach and hold the heart of the person who persona loves yet. Persona also thinks that the person who persona loves is a mystery; difficult to guess. But once again, persona will always love that person. Persona also doesn’t want to lose him/her because that thing can make persona feels so lonely and sad. And persona always feels relieved when that thing is not happened.

The supporting keywords are “far way” (first stanza, line two) and “does not touch you” (first stanza, line two). So I interpreted that persona has lost or the person who persona loves is gone or far away from persona because of he/she never talk with persona. This situation is make persona feels that he/she cannot touch him/her.
Second main keyword is “emerge” (second stanza, line two). The denotation is come out. The connotation is come. The supporting keywords are “filled” (second stanza, line two) and “soul” (second stanza, line three).

The supporting keywords are “lamenting” (third stanza, line two) and “cooing like a dove” (third stanza, line two). So I interpreted that persona worries about the silent of the person who persona loves which can mean that he/she is lamenting or regretting something.
Fourth main keyword is “silence” (fourth stanza, line one). The denotation is complete lack of noise or sound. The connotation is soundlessness. The supporting keywords are “remote” (fourth stanza, line four), and “candid” (fourth stanza, line four). So I interpreted that persona think if the soundlessness of the person who persona loves is like he/she remote or so far away from persona and his/her heart is candid or free, so persona cannot embrace his/her heart or feeling and make it to be persona’s.
Fifth main keyword is “died” (fifth stanza, line two). The denotation is stopped living. The connotation is disappeared.

Imagery Analysis
This poetry contain of three messages. First message is we can show our love without saying that we love to our beloved person. Second message is with the silence we can learn to more understand about our beloved person. Third message is don’t be afraid if we would loss our beloved person who always keep silent because that means if he/she tried to understand our self in different way.
This poetry also contain of three imageries. There are visual imagery, auditory imagery, and kinesthetic imagery. First is visual imagery. This visual imagery supports the third message because there is word “died” (fifth stanza, line two). This word shows that persona see that the person who persona loves always keep silent, and persona afraid if the silent means that the person who persona is not love persona anymore. So, persona maybe would loss him/her.
Second is auditory imagery. This auditory imagery supports the first and the second message because there are words “still” (first stanza, line one) and “lamenting” (third stanza, line two). These words show that persona hear nothing from the person who persona love. In addition, persona realizes that love never always says by word. It can also shows by action. Then persona tried to communicate with the person who persona loves in silent or with action. With silent, persona feels that he/she more understand about the person who he/she loves.
Third is kinesthetic imagery. This kinesthetic imagery supports the third message because there are words “touch” (first stanza, line two), “reach” (third stanza, line three), and “come” (third stanza, line four). These words show that persona cannot touch or reach the person who persona loves if that person always kept in silence. But persona always loves him/her and persona wants could always together with him/her.
Tone Analysis
When I read this poetry for the first time, I feel that this poetry is a solemn poetry. This poetry is a solemn poetry because there are word “lamenting” (third stanza, line two) and “died” (fifth stanza, line two). These two words refer to the feeling of the persona which are worry and afraid. But these two words represent sadness feeling and disappearing of the person who persona loves. Persona feels worry and afraid about the person that he/she loves because persona thinks that person maybe feels sad or will disappear from persona’s life. But persona couldn’t know about that because that person always keep silent, didn’t tell anything about what he/she feels to persona. So it’s quiet difficult for persona to understand about him/her.
Conclusion
According to me, the theme of this poetry is silent love. In general, I think the idea of this poetry that there is something very curious in knowing that you can be next to a person you love but you don't need to talk because he/she doesn’t want to talk. In this situation, there are a lot of things to do. Not only that you must understand about what he/she want and feeling, but you must also show your feeling or love and affection to him/her. You must become smart to read his/her body language and every signal that he/she made to understand about him/her and get close with him/her. You can start with do such a thing that he/she likes or both of you like, together with him/her. In this poetry, you have invited to choose between to think that silent would make you feel challenging in built a relationship in different way or to think that silent would make you feel uneasy and you would feel that saying something it is necessary in built a relationship just like the ordinary.

Analysis of Emancipation poetry
Emancipation by Emily Dickinson
No rack can torture me,
My soul's at liberty
Behind this mortal bone
There knits a bolder one
You cannot prick with saw,
Nor rend with scymitar.
Two bodies therefore be;
Bind one, and one will flee.
The eagle of his nest
No easier divest
And gain the sky,
Than mayest thou,
Except thyself may be
Thine enemy;
Captivity is consciousness,
So's liberty.
Paraphrase of the Poem
Persona felt that persona has a freedom, a real freedom in persona’s self. It was hidden so deep in persona’s frame life and live very free as free as the clouds on the sky. No one can border this freedom no matter how hard they tried, because this is very valuable; no one can create it and no one can buy it. There is God, the only substance who can create it and then gave it to persona so that persona became a real life creature. Without it, persona is nothing. Persona will fight as hard as he/she could anything who/which wanted to border this freedom. Persona will do anything to protect persona’s freedom and let it flourish in persona’s self. And once again, no one can border this freedom. But unfortunately the statement which was sound that no one can border this freedom was wrong. There is one thing who/which can border this freedom. That is persona itself. If persona don’t believed that he/she has a freedom in his/her self or thought as a weak creature that couldn’t make or do something awesome or spectacular, then probably persona will border or loss his/her freedom. Because that thought made persona become a paranoid. Persona will easily to give up and always feel afraid to do something or to make some innovations in persona’s life, feel afraid if he/she made a mistake. So, the real enemy is not come from the outside, but it comes from inside of persona’s self which is persona’s faith to the power of its freedom. If persona wanted his/her freedom exist forever in persona’s self, he/she insisted trust to his/her self that he/she have this freedom in his/her self and realize that actually he/she is able to use this freedom to make a great life.
Denotation & Connotation Analysis
First main keyword is “liberty” (first stanza, line two). The denotation is the legal right to do as you choose. The connotation is freedom. The supporting keywords are “no rack can torture me” (first stanza, line one), “knits” (first stanza, line four), and “bolder” (first stanza, line four). The sentence “no rack can torture me” represent a faith that there is no one who/which can border the persona’s freedom. The word “knits” represent the right of freedom that persona have in his/her self. The word “bolder” represent a sense of courage which produced by the faith to the right of freedom. So I interpreted that persona has a faith if he/she has the right of freedom in his/her self and there is no one who/which can border it freedom. Persona also believed if this right of freedom will give his/her self a sense of courage to be able to survive in this world.
Second main keyword is “cannot” (second stanza, line one). The denotation is used to say that it is impossible for someone or something to do something, or for something to happen. The connotation is has no ability. The supporting keywords are “prick with saw” (second stanza, line one), “rend with scymitar” (second stanza, line two), “bind” (second stanza, line four), and “flee” (second stanza, line four). The phrase “prick with saw” represent a disturbance which could threaten the existence of persona’s freedom. The phrase “rend with scymitar” also represent a disturbance which could threaten the existence of persona’s freedom. The word “bind” represent the persona’s feeling toward that disturbance. The word “flee” represent the persona’s action toward that disturbance. So I interpreted that there were some disturbance which could threaten the existence of persona’s freedom. Persona felt if that threat was an effort to border persona’s freedom. But persona has a faith that every one has no ability to border his/her freedom. So, with a sense of courage from the power of it freedom, persona succeed to fight and escape from the threat.
Third main keyword is “easier” (third stanza, line two). The denotation is done or obtained without a lot of effort or problems. The connotation is simple. The supporting keywords are “divest” (third stanza, line two) and “gain the sky” (third stanza, line three). The word “divest” represent some burdens or problems in the past and present which will be thrown away or solved by persona. The phrase “gain the sky” represent something like a goal of life which will be reached by persona. So I interpreted it will be simple for persona to solve all the problems or throw away all the burdens and reach the goal of life if persona always trust to the power of freedom in his/her self. If persona trust to the power of his/her self freedom, he/she can explore his/her ability and creativity to achieve or reach his/her goal of life and easily solve or throw away his/her problems or burdens. Otherwise, if persona do not trust to the power of his/her self freedom, he/she will always feel constrained to do something and cannot explore his/her ability and creativity. Then persona will feel difficult to achieve or reach his/her goal of life and throw away or solve all his/her burdens or problems. So, it’s depend persona itself to choose.
Fourth main keyword is “consciousness” (fourth stanza, line three). The denotation is the state of being able to use your senses and mental powers to understand what is happening. The connotation is awareness. The supporting keywords are “thyself” (fourth stanza, line one) and “thine enemy” (fourth stanza, line two). The word “thyself” represent the persona’s self; the one (instead God) who can determine its destiny. The phrase “thine enemy” also represent the persona’s self, but as the real obstacle in the way to use and defend its freedom. So I interpreted that persona insisted has awareness that the real suspect who very potentially border his/her freedom is his/her own self. Persona itself is the one (instead God) who can determine his/her destiny; to use and defend the freedom or ignore the freedom.
Related to the denotation and connotation analysis above, this poetry contain of two messages. First message, every life creature has the right of freedom. Second message, our self is the only thing who/which can make the freedom exist or not exist. The first message, every life creature has the right of freedom, had a relation with the interpretation of the first main keyword. It proved that in the first main keyword of denotation and connotation analysis, I interpreted that persona has a faith if he/she has the right of freedom in his/her self and there is no one who/which can border it freedom. The second message, our self is the only thing who/which can make the freedom exist or not exist, had a relation with the interpretation of the second, third, and fourth main keyword. It proved that in the second keyword of denotation and connotation analysis, I interpreted that persona has a faith that every one has no ability to border his/her freedom and with a sense of courage from the power of it freedom, persona succeed to fight and escape from the threat. In the third keyword of denotation and connotation analysis, I interpreted that it’s depend persona itself to choose trust to the power of his/her self freedom to achieve his/her goal of life and easily solve or throw away his/her problems or burdens, or do not trust to the power of his/her self freedom and got some difficulties to achieve or reach his/her goal of life and throw away or solve all his/her burdens or problems. In the fourth keyword of denotation and connotation analysis, I interpreted that persona itself is the one (instead God) who can determine his/her destiny; to use and defend the freedom or ignore the freedom.
Imagery Analysis
This poetry contains of two imageries. There are visual imagery and kinesthetic imagery. First is visual imagery which is contained in the word “liberty” (first stanza, line two) and “enemy” (fourth stanza, line two). These words show that persona believes if he/she has a freedom to do anything in his/her life as long as persona is responsible with it. This freedom is existed since persona was in the womb. This freedom is absolute. No one can disturb the existence except persona itself. It means that if persona really believes that he/she has a right of freedom and then use the freedom wisely to run and develop his/her life, the freedom will keep exist. But if persona do not believes or maybe doubt that he/she has a right of freedom and its power, and then always border his/her ability or anything in his/her life, the freedom will blow up. That’s all depends on persona itself, the only one who can decided.
Second is kinesthetic imagery which is contained in the word “torture” (first stanza, line one), “prick” (second stanza, line one), “rend” (second stanza, line two), “bind’ (second stanza, line four), “flee” (second stanza, line four), “divest” (third stanza, line two), and “gain” (third stanza, line three). These words show that all threatens or disturbances which are very potential to threat and disturb the existence of persona’s freedom. All threatens and disturbances can be come from outside or inside persona’s self. But the most dangerous threatens or disturbances are come from inside of persona’s self which related with persona’s belief and can make persona loss his/her freedom. The words also show how persona’s reaction or action toward threatens or disturbances; surrender or keep fighting. If persona decided to surrender with that, his/her freedom will be bordered or maybe gone. But if persona keep fighting and never give up with that, he/she will escape, keep the freedom, and use the freedom to reach his/her goal of life.
Related to the imagery analysis above, this poetry contain of two messages. First message, believes that you have a freedom and its power. Second message, keep or you will loss the freedom. The first message, believes that you have a freedom and its power, has a relation with the explanation of the first imagery, visual imagery. It proved that in the visual imagery I explain that the words “liberty” and “enemy” show that persona believes if he/she has a freedom to do anything in his/her life. It means if persona believes with his/her self freedom, then this believe will create a power to help persona to run his/her life, to get what he/she wants, and to keep the existence of the freedom it self. Second message, keep or you will loss the freedom, has a relation with the explanation of the second imagery, kinesthetic imagery. It proved that in the kinesthetic imagery I explain that the words “bind”, “flee”, “divest”, and “gain” show how persona’s reaction or action, surrender or keep fighting, toward threatens or disturbances which threat and disturb persona’s freedom. If persona always keeps his/her freedom’s existence, he/she will feel live in the sky and achieve the sweet result later. But if persona loss it, he/she will feel life in a cage and achieve nothing.
Figurative Language Analysis
This poetry contains of two figurative languages. There are metonymy and allegory. The first figurative language, metonymy, can be found in the word “divest” (third stanza, line two) and “gain” (third stanza, line three). By using these words, Emily Dickinson tries to substitute some words with another words with which it closely associated. In this poetry, Emily Dickinson use the words “divest” and “gain” above to describe about the easiness to feel that we have lost our freedom and then border our own self, and the difficulties to achieve or realization our dreams because we feel doubtful with the power of our freedom who actually can bring us to the glory if we really believe with it. Because “divest” is closely associated with “lost”, and “gain” is closely associated with “bring to something”.
The second figurative language, allegory, can be found in the sentences “no rack can torture me” (first stanza, line one), “you cannot prick with saw” (second stanza, line one), “nor rend with scymitar” (second stanza, line two), and “the eagle of his nest” (third stanza, line one). By using these sentences, Emily Dickinson tries to give the literal meaning and the symbolic meaning of the words or phrases or sentences. In this poetry, the literary meaning of the sentences “no rack can torture me”, “you cannot prick with saw”, and “nor rend with scymitar” is there is no one else who can disturb someone’s freedom. The symbolic meaning is someone who has seriousness to protect his/her freedom. Then the literary meaning of the sentence “the eagle of his nest” is someone who let him/her self bordered because he/she don’t want to develop his/her self and his/her abilities, and it because he/she feels doubtful with the power of freedom that he/she has. The symbolic meaning is a person who lost his/her freedom and life like in a cage which cannot do something.
Related to the figurative language analysis above, this poetry contains two messages. First message, the glory is something which is easy to go but difficult to come. Second message, don’t let your self border your own freedom. These messages have a relation with the explanation of the figurative language analysis. It proved in the explanation of metonymy and allegory that Emily Dickinson describe about the easiness to feel that we have lost our freedom and then border our own self, and the difficulties to achieve our dreams, also let our self bordered and don’t want to develop it, because of the doubtful feeling of the freedom’s power.
Tone Analysis
When I read this poetry for the first time, I feel that this poetry is an excited poetry. This poetry is an excited poetry because there are words “liberty” (first stanza, line two), “bolder” (first stanza, line four), phrases “cannot prick with saw” (second stanza, line one), “nor rend with scymitar” (second stanza, line two), “no easier divest” (third stanza, line two), and “gain the sky” (third stanza, line three). The words “liberty” and “bolder” are refer to the persona’s believes toward his/her freedom in his/her self and its power. The believes of freedom and its power make persona feels optimistic and enthusiastic to do anything as long as positive to run his/her life and to get his/her dream or goal. The phrases “cannot prick with saw” and “nor rend with scymitar” are refer to the persona’s optimistic feeling to defend the existence of his/her freedom in his/her self. Persona believes if he/she can keep his/her freedom’s existence and will summon up all his/her ability to do that. The phrases “no easier divest” and “gain the sky” are refer to the process of persona’s struggle in the way to defend the freedom keep exist and the result of persona’s struggle which finally he/she can catch his/her dream or goal.

No rack can torture me,
My soul's at liberty
Behind this mortal bone
There knits a bolder one
You cannot prick with saw,
Nor rend with scymitar.
Two bodies therefore be;
Bind one, and one will flee.
The eagle of his nest
No easier divest
And gain the sky,
Than mayest thou,
Except thyself may be
Thine enemy;
Captivity is consciousness,
So's liberty.
Paraphrase of the Poem
Persona felt that persona has a freedom, a real freedom in persona’s self. It was hidden so deep in persona’s frame life and live very free as free as the clouds on the sky. No one can border this freedom no matter how hard they tried, because this is very valuable; no one can create it and no one can buy it. There is God, the only substance who can create it and then gave it to persona so that persona became a real life creature. Without it, persona is nothing. Persona will fight as hard as he/she could anything who/which wanted to border this freedom. Persona will do anything to protect persona’s freedom and let it flourish in persona’s self. And once again, no one can border this freedom. But unfortunately the statement which was sound that no one can border this freedom was wrong. There is one thing who/which can border this freedom. That is persona itself. If persona don’t believed that he/she has a freedom in his/her self or thought as a weak creature that couldn’t make or do something awesome or spectacular, then probably persona will border or loss his/her freedom. Because that thought made persona become a paranoid. Persona will easily to give up and always feel afraid to do something or to make some innovations in persona’s life, feel afraid if he/she made a mistake. So, the real enemy is not come from the outside, but it comes from inside of persona’s self which is persona’s faith to the power of its freedom. If persona wanted his/her freedom exist forever in persona’s self, he/she insisted trust to his/her self that he/she have this freedom in his/her self and realize that actually he/she is able to use this freedom to make a great life.
Denotation & Connotation Analysis
First main keyword is “liberty” (first stanza, line two). The denotation is the legal right to do as you choose. The connotation is freedom. The supporting keywords are “no rack can torture me” (first stanza, line one), “knits” (first stanza, line four), and “bolder” (first stanza, line four). The sentence “no rack can torture me” represent a faith that there is no one who/which can border the persona’s freedom. The word “knits” represent the right of freedom that persona have in his/her self. The word “bolder” represent a sense of courage which produced by the faith to the right of freedom. So I interpreted that persona has a faith if he/she has the right of freedom in his/her self and there is no one who/which can border it freedom. Persona also believed if this right of freedom will give his/her self a sense of courage to be able to survive in this world.
Second main keyword is “cannot” (second stanza, line one). The denotation is used to say that it is impossible for someone or something to do something, or for something to happen. The connotation is has no ability. The supporting keywords are “prick with saw” (second stanza, line one), “rend with scymitar” (second stanza, line two), “bind” (second stanza, line four), and “flee” (second stanza, line four). The phrase “prick with saw” represent a disturbance which could threaten the existence of persona’s freedom. The phrase “rend with scymitar” also represent a disturbance which could threaten the existence of persona’s freedom. The word “bind” represent the persona’s feeling toward that disturbance. The word “flee” represent the persona’s action toward that disturbance. So I interpreted that there were some disturbance which could threaten the existence of persona’s freedom. Persona felt if that threat was an effort to border persona’s freedom. But persona has a faith that every one has no ability to border his/her freedom. So, with a sense of courage from the power of it freedom, persona succeed to fight and escape from the threat.
Third main keyword is “easier” (third stanza, line two). The denotation is done or obtained without a lot of effort or problems. The connotation is simple. The supporting keywords are “divest” (third stanza, line two) and “gain the sky” (third stanza, line three). The word “divest” represent some burdens or problems in the past and present which will be thrown away or solved by persona. The phrase “gain the sky” represent something like a goal of life which will be reached by persona. So I interpreted it will be simple for persona to solve all the problems or throw away all the burdens and reach the goal of life if persona always trust to the power of freedom in his/her self. If persona trust to the power of his/her self freedom, he/she can explore his/her ability and creativity to achieve or reach his/her goal of life and easily solve or throw away his/her problems or burdens. Otherwise, if persona do not trust to the power of his/her self freedom, he/she will always feel constrained to do something and cannot explore his/her ability and creativity. Then persona will feel difficult to achieve or reach his/her goal of life and throw away or solve all his/her burdens or problems. So, it’s depend persona itself to choose.
Fourth main keyword is “consciousness” (fourth stanza, line three). The denotation is the state of being able to use your senses and mental powers to understand what is happening. The connotation is awareness. The supporting keywords are “thyself” (fourth stanza, line one) and “thine enemy” (fourth stanza, line two). The word “thyself” represent the persona’s self; the one (instead God) who can determine its destiny. The phrase “thine enemy” also represent the persona’s self, but as the real obstacle in the way to use and defend its freedom. So I interpreted that persona insisted has awareness that the real suspect who very potentially border his/her freedom is his/her own self. Persona itself is the one (instead God) who can determine his/her destiny; to use and defend the freedom or ignore the freedom.
Related to the denotation and connotation analysis above, this poetry contain of two messages. First message, every life creature has the right of freedom. Second message, our self is the only thing who/which can make the freedom exist or not exist. The first message, every life creature has the right of freedom, had a relation with the interpretation of the first main keyword. It proved that in the first main keyword of denotation and connotation analysis, I interpreted that persona has a faith if he/she has the right of freedom in his/her self and there is no one who/which can border it freedom. The second message, our self is the only thing who/which can make the freedom exist or not exist, had a relation with the interpretation of the second, third, and fourth main keyword. It proved that in the second keyword of denotation and connotation analysis, I interpreted that persona has a faith that every one has no ability to border his/her freedom and with a sense of courage from the power of it freedom, persona succeed to fight and escape from the threat. In the third keyword of denotation and connotation analysis, I interpreted that it’s depend persona itself to choose trust to the power of his/her self freedom to achieve his/her goal of life and easily solve or throw away his/her problems or burdens, or do not trust to the power of his/her self freedom and got some difficulties to achieve or reach his/her goal of life and throw away or solve all his/her burdens or problems. In the fourth keyword of denotation and connotation analysis, I interpreted that persona itself is the one (instead God) who can determine his/her destiny; to use and defend the freedom or ignore the freedom.
Imagery Analysis
This poetry contains of two imageries. There are visual imagery and kinesthetic imagery. First is visual imagery which is contained in the word “liberty” (first stanza, line two) and “enemy” (fourth stanza, line two). These words show that persona believes if he/she has a freedom to do anything in his/her life as long as persona is responsible with it. This freedom is existed since persona was in the womb. This freedom is absolute. No one can disturb the existence except persona itself. It means that if persona really believes that he/she has a right of freedom and then use the freedom wisely to run and develop his/her life, the freedom will keep exist. But if persona do not believes or maybe doubt that he/she has a right of freedom and its power, and then always border his/her ability or anything in his/her life, the freedom will blow up. That’s all depends on persona itself, the only one who can decided.
Second is kinesthetic imagery which is contained in the word “torture” (first stanza, line one), “prick” (second stanza, line one), “rend” (second stanza, line two), “bind’ (second stanza, line four), “flee” (second stanza, line four), “divest” (third stanza, line two), and “gain” (third stanza, line three). These words show that all threatens or disturbances which are very potential to threat and disturb the existence of persona’s freedom. All threatens and disturbances can be come from outside or inside persona’s self. But the most dangerous threatens or disturbances are come from inside of persona’s self which related with persona’s belief and can make persona loss his/her freedom. The words also show how persona’s reaction or action toward threatens or disturbances; surrender or keep fighting. If persona decided to surrender with that, his/her freedom will be bordered or maybe gone. But if persona keep fighting and never give up with that, he/she will escape, keep the freedom, and use the freedom to reach his/her goal of life.
Related to the imagery analysis above, this poetry contain of two messages. First message, believes that you have a freedom and its power. Second message, keep or you will loss the freedom. The first message, believes that you have a freedom and its power, has a relation with the explanation of the first imagery, visual imagery. It proved that in the visual imagery I explain that the words “liberty” and “enemy” show that persona believes if he/she has a freedom to do anything in his/her life. It means if persona believes with his/her self freedom, then this believe will create a power to help persona to run his/her life, to get what he/she wants, and to keep the existence of the freedom it self. Second message, keep or you will loss the freedom, has a relation with the explanation of the second imagery, kinesthetic imagery. It proved that in the kinesthetic imagery I explain that the words “bind”, “flee”, “divest”, and “gain” show how persona’s reaction or action, surrender or keep fighting, toward threatens or disturbances which threat and disturb persona’s freedom. If persona always keeps his/her freedom’s existence, he/she will feel live in the sky and achieve the sweet result later. But if persona loss it, he/she will feel life in a cage and achieve nothing.
Figurative Language Analysis
This poetry contains of two figurative languages. There are metonymy and allegory. The first figurative language, metonymy, can be found in the word “divest” (third stanza, line two) and “gain” (third stanza, line three). By using these words, Emily Dickinson tries to substitute some words with another words with which it closely associated. In this poetry, Emily Dickinson use the words “divest” and “gain” above to describe about the easiness to feel that we have lost our freedom and then border our own self, and the difficulties to achieve or realization our dreams because we feel doubtful with the power of our freedom who actually can bring us to the glory if we really believe with it. Because “divest” is closely associated with “lost”, and “gain” is closely associated with “bring to something”.
The second figurative language, allegory, can be found in the sentences “no rack can torture me” (first stanza, line one), “you cannot prick with saw” (second stanza, line one), “nor rend with scymitar” (second stanza, line two), and “the eagle of his nest” (third stanza, line one). By using these sentences, Emily Dickinson tries to give the literal meaning and the symbolic meaning of the words or phrases or sentences. In this poetry, the literary meaning of the sentences “no rack can torture me”, “you cannot prick with saw”, and “nor rend with scymitar” is there is no one else who can disturb someone’s freedom. The symbolic meaning is someone who has seriousness to protect his/her freedom. Then the literary meaning of the sentence “the eagle of his nest” is someone who let him/her self bordered because he/she don’t want to develop his/her self and his/her abilities, and it because he/she feels doubtful with the power of freedom that he/she has. The symbolic meaning is a person who lost his/her freedom and life like in a cage which cannot do something.
Related to the figurative language analysis above, this poetry contains two messages. First message, the glory is something which is easy to go but difficult to come. Second message, don’t let your self border your own freedom. These messages have a relation with the explanation of the figurative language analysis. It proved in the explanation of metonymy and allegory that Emily Dickinson describe about the easiness to feel that we have lost our freedom and then border our own self, and the difficulties to achieve our dreams, also let our self bordered and don’t want to develop it, because of the doubtful feeling of the freedom’s power.
Tone Analysis
When I read this poetry for the first time, I feel that this poetry is an excited poetry. This poetry is an excited poetry because there are words “liberty” (first stanza, line two), “bolder” (first stanza, line four), phrases “cannot prick with saw” (second stanza, line one), “nor rend with scymitar” (second stanza, line two), “no easier divest” (third stanza, line two), and “gain the sky” (third stanza, line three). The words “liberty” and “bolder” are refer to the persona’s believes toward his/her freedom in his/her self and its power. The believes of freedom and its power make persona feels optimistic and enthusiastic to do anything as long as positive to run his/her life and to get his/her dream or goal. The phrases “cannot prick with saw” and “nor rend with scymitar” are refer to the persona’s optimistic feeling to defend the existence of his/her freedom in his/her self. Persona believes if he/she can keep his/her freedom’s existence and will summon up all his/her ability to do that. The phrases “no easier divest” and “gain the sky” are refer to the process of persona’s struggle in the way to defend the freedom keep exist and the result of persona’s struggle which finally he/she can catch his/her dream or goal.

So it can be concluded that Emily Dickinson used trochaic meter in the whole poem, which means assertive or confident. This assertive or confident feeling came from the Emily Dickinson’s self who channeled in every word, phrase, and sentence in this poetry and then the delivery of this poetry is represented by persona. Then it can be said if the assertive or confident it self means that persona believes that he/she has the right of freedom.

So persona will do anything to struggle his/her freedom and fight the all the obstacles which want to obstruct his/her self freedom.

Paraphrase of Kindness Poetry
Kindness by Sylvia Plath
Kindness glides about my house.
Dame Kindness, she is so nice!
The blue and red jewels of her rings smoke
In the windows, the mirrors
Are filling with smiles.
What is so real as the cry of a child?
A rabbit's cry may be wilder
But it has no soul.
Sugar can cure everything, so Kindness says.
Sugar is a necessary fluid,
Its crystals a little poultice.
O kindness, kindness
Sweetly picking up pieces!
My Japanese silks, desperate butterflies,
May be pinned any minute, anesthetized.
And here you come, with a cup of tea
Wreathed in steam.
The blood jet is poetry,
There is no stopping it.
You hand me two children, two roses.
Paraphrase:
Persona has a wife and loves her so much. Persona’s wife is a beautiful woman, very beautiful woman. But she has different kind of beauty which is inner beauty. That’s why persona loves her so much, because she has different kind or maybe special kind of beauty than other women. This inner beauty comes from her holy heart and spread out like a shiny light. Persona feels all actions that persona’s wife do make her like an angle. When she is talking, walking, smiling, everything looks so beautiful and elegant. Persona always feels even if there no sparkling jewelries on persona’s wife body, her body always looks as sparkling as when there are million jewelries on it. Persona also feels that all women in the world are beautiful. But not all women have inner beauty like what persona’s wife has. Just the women who have peaceful, patience, lovely and tenderly heart can belongs this inner beauty. And off course, these women are very special women. The other beautiful women who haven’t peaceful, patience, lovely, and tenderly heart or just have physically beauty, haven’t sparkling light which spread out from their self. Their self looks like beautiful but dark. But the women who have peaceful, patience, lovely, and tenderly heart, looks so sweet, as sweet as Adam’s apple which comes from the God’s heaven. And persona feels that persona’s wife has this sweetness in herself. With her sweetness, she can heal everyone or maybe every life creatures in the world from their illness, eliminate pain, hatred, revenge, misery, and change them with health, joy, love or affection, and prosperity. Or even her sweetness can make all the God’s angels come down from the seventh sky to admire it. But persona feels her sweetness always warm persona’s soul. Persona also had speechless to describing persona’s wife inner beauty. It seems like all the great words which are exist in the world not enough to describe her beauty. Then it makes persona helpless to stop admiring her. Persona’s happiness increases because persona’s wife not only gives persona the sweetness of her inner beauty which can warm persona’s soul, but also children, two gorgeous daughters who coloring their life later. Persona believes that persona is the most fortunate person in the world, and persona feels very grateful with it.
